Question

No layers or add additional photos option in Adobe Photoshop Express on Android

Frustratingly Useless. As a paying Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber shelling out a lot of money each year to adobe, I expect consistency and functionality across platforms. Instead, I’m forced to use Photoshop Express on Android — a massive downgrade from the now-defunct Adobe Photoshop Mix.

This app is embarrassingly limited. No layers, no blending, no way to combine photos — features that are basic, essential, and were previously available. How can Adobe justify charging premium subscription fees when the mobile tools are so crippled?

Photoshop Express feels more like a gimmicky photo filter app than a serious editing tool. It’s a slap in the face to loyal subscribers who rely on a functional, cross-device workflow.

Bring back Mix or give us a real mobile version of Photoshop. Express in the app means they've taken a shortcut way of putting this app together, missing key essential features in photoshop.

Sure Tanun, it's the same old cut and paste reply we have heard for years, and nothing happens. No one can give an explanation as to why Adobe has chosen to do this. I guess it all comes down to the deal wirh Apple.
