Photoshop express is no longer offered in the Apple Store for iPhones

[kev_8790]

I deleted Photoshop express premium today in the hopes of reinstalling it to resolve a glitch.

I can no longer see Photoshop express offered in the Apple Store for iPhones in the US.

 

As Adobe stopped offering it?

I'm having the same problem, issue and is hating this.

Hi @kev_8790 @henry_0726,

Thanks for reaching out! I want to inform you that Photoshop Express is still available for use by existing customers but is not currently available for new downloads in the App Store in select markets. This is to better enable customers to find the latest Photoshop on the iPhone app.

Best,

Amitej

I'm having the same issue. Had to delete the app and try reloading back again and PS Express is no longer available in the Apple App Store, it says the App is no longer available in my area. My subscription does not expired till November 2025.

It's a good question about customers who have a Photoshop Express premium subscription. Will those map to Photoshop on iPhone premium subscriptions?

Or since you can't re-download Photoshop Express, should you cancel that subscription and then subscribe to Photoshop on iPhone instead?

Perhaps @Amitej S at Adobe can offer some advice or guidance for Photoshop Express users.

From what Ive realized, you have to download it as part of a trio now that cost 3x as much. The closest thing at that rate is Lightroom (which I have now paid for).  It is Not the same. 🤦🏽‍:female_sign:. Sooo mad

@Cujobozo – Are you saying that you were able to redownload Photoshop Express as part of a larger bundle of apps?

[Cujobozo]

Yes you can.  But its 9.99 monthly or almost $99.99 for Ps Express + Adobe Express. I was in a pinch, so I paid the $9.99 for the month.........................Hold on! 

I just went to my subscriptions to screenshot it for you. When I went to "See all Plans" it offered me 4 different things. I originally did this on my iPad. It looks like "Express Premuim Annual" only popped up when I went I went to Manage Subscriptions/Available Plans......it wasn't there before I canceled the new $9.99 monthly plan. Sounds weird, but it's there now and I'm less stressed. Lightroom sucks. Its too much extra work. i just want a couple presets. I'll suck up the 9.99 just to be able to find that annual a la cart. 🥳

Thanks. OK, good news – I checked another iPhone and it appears that Adobe has made Photoshop Express available for download (and purchase) in the Apple App Store and Google Play once again:

Apple

https://apps.apple.com/cy/app/photoshop-express-photo-editor/id331975235

Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.psmobile

As before, Photoshop Express can be purchased for $4.99/month or $34.99/year.

So it's no longer "either/or" with the Photoshop on iPhone app... Hopefully others see this now as well.

This is why... It's essentially being replaced by the new PS on iPhone:

Will the smile tool and other quick actions like it be on there as well? 

[Rob_Ardoin0853]

So far, I've noticed a significant gap in the tools offered in PS. No artistic filters, no quick touch up tools like smile or facial adjustments.

I also deleted it to reload it onto my phone and came across this issue. Adobe is still offering it when you buy a subscription package. Photoshop is not the same tool. Express was an easy to use one stop shop with what seem to be unique tools that photoshop doesn't have. I had open working files that I'm struggling to move to photoshop and it is very disappointing.

It's true that they're different apps with differing featuresets. Photoshop Express has some features a bit more like Photoshop Elements on desktop. Adobe will certainly be adding further capabilities to Photoshop on iPhone, but we can't say which ones or when.

I tried different ways to find or access Photoshop Express in the Apple App Store, but nothing came up. Just "App Not Available." So it appears to be no longer possible to reinstall. Sorry about that.

[madmann007]

Not sure why Adobe got rid of express bc after using photoshop on iphone, I find express 10x better and much easier to use

Even though the app is back on the store I wanted to leave the following for further reference:

In my experience even after an app is removed from the store it is mostly still available for download through the "my purchases" option (or something like that) in the app stores account info.
