Adobe Express Overall Functionality
I was excited to learn about Adobe Express as a marketing and design professional who uses both Canva and Adobe products. However, I am deeply disappointed with the way Adobe Express works. Working on video projects is almost impossible because the platform is so slow and requires a lot of patience to reach the final product. I hate to say this, but Adobe Express misses the mark in terms of "Express" design. If Canva had allowed me to upload larger files, I would've used Canva instead.
Even on a project as simple as an Instagram post, dragging and dropping elements has a considerable lag time. I was encouraged to use Adobe Express because Adobe is "the industry standard" (language that keeps being spit out at me). While I have no qualms with Adobe itself, Adobe Express is just a slower version of Canva with minimal graphics to choose from. Don't waste your time...Just use both Canva and Adobe products.
The translation integration is also pretty terrible. I uploaded a document for translation; half of it came out in Chinese. The language I was translating to was Spanish...Again, don't waste your time. Just use Google translate.
