Canva: Design, Photo & Video

Canva is Beyond Incredible! I understand how some people feel like nothing can ever replace years of experience, effort and knowledge, but the world is becoming more fast paced each day and that's where Canva helps both designers as well as amateurs. I have been freelancing in marketing and design for the past 15 years which has made me proficient in Adobe creative suite. Once I discovered canva, it has made my life super easy and not to mention SUPER Fast! Things that would take me a long time to make in illustrator, would take me under 5 seconds in canva. I am now a digital marketing executive and I still use Canva alongside photoshop/illustrator and indesign. I have redone my resume based on a canva template and companies that I applied to always commented on how strong it looked. It is a great tool that has helped and will always help people make creatives quick and easy. In addition to this, one of the most important aspect I love about canva is that they always are ON TREND! With fonts, illustrations, graphics, colours, sizes, designs etc. Canva is constantly updating itself to what's trending at the moment. For example: Minimalism - canva has mastered this! I know for a fact that canva is going to become better and better in the coming years through additional new features and it will soon reach a stage where it could potentially replace softwares that have been around for yongs! Keep rocking Canva♥️ #TrueCanvaFan

While this app is great on desktop with the latest update it’s practical application on iPad Pro is lacking to say the least. The biggest issue I have is what I consider basic and that’s cropping and adding your own imagery and photography. Unfortunately, it’s a frustrating exercise that makes me turn back to my desktop :( I am sure the developers will work on that but for the cost and UX, I would have to say Canva is by the dar dominating the market. I use it in conjunction with adobe including design ideas which is where this app shows its strength. The template game is strong. Good job guys but because it’s not practically applicable across devices I give it a lower star rating. I hope that’s rectified soon as I absolutely love using my iPad as a graphics tablet on the go when my Wacom is too bulky or inconvenient. Don’t judge it too harshly this is a great tool and even adobes apps, which are getting better, have serious limitations. You’re doing well on the app platform and market but room for improvement in user experience and across various devices.

I’m not a professional graphic designer or anything like that (infact I’m still in school) but I absolutely love this app. It is such a great app to let out your creativity and it has an amazing range of templates and images to choose from. I have only had this app for about five minutes and I am already in love. I also want to mention if you are going to buy this app it is amazing. I just wanted to say that I get that this is a marketing technique but some for some of the subjects for images you have to be subscribed to get a single image. This is just minor flaw but I think that if you could make at least one image in every subject this would make the app just a little bit better. Like I said before this is an amazing app and you should definitely get it!!

I have used Canva for my small home business for years! Loved it and have recommended to so many people. I updated it 2 days ago and was locked out of it. Using the CORRECT password. It wasn’t easy to sort out as I no longer had access to the email address I first signed up with. Anyways sorted that out. NOW to see the new app design is horrible. It is not easy to use what so ever! I do love all the new options. But what’s the point if trying to create and edit designs is not possible. What was once a super easy and quick process. Is now time consuming and not possible. My designs that I have been working on for months, and was editing just a few days ago. Has now lost images and can not work on it. This will affect my business as ALL my original works are on here. Now I can not edit them and creating new designs, with the new editing layout is pointless and nowhere near ‘easy to use’. Why on earth would you change the super easy functions you’ve had for so long, to the way you have done it now.

Great app overall, yet it can get frustrating to edit on iPad. It often glitches out, doesn’t allow me to edit and its performance worsens gradually as I use it over time. Another problem I have - the version of Canva I have (which should be the latest) doesn’t look the same as shown. While the photos of the app on the App Store shows a format similar to the desktop version, mine has a basic black format that is significantly more difficult to use and navigate. I’m not quite sure what might be causing this, but it’s been bothering me ever since I first started using the iOS version. Despite these problems, it’s quite convenient to use when I don’t have a computer on hand. If my review is (somehow) seen and something is done about what I’ve addressed, then Canva would definitely receive a 5-star rating.
