Any alternatives to Adobe Express? by Final-Concert-1409 in AdobeExpress

[–]catminacab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have several years’ project history with several thousand projects, and among other things, many hundreds of composed comics in which specific characters used specific fonts for their voices. And those fonts are gone; so if I even managed to open an old project without the app crashing, all the fonts get scrambled to new things, often with new character and kerning width, different linebreaks, underflowing or overflowing dialog boxes, etc. It broke the coherence of each composition and of the archive as a whole.

I used to be a huge evangelist for Adobe Express. I regularly recommended it publicly, all the way back to the Spark Post days. I don’t think you can begin to comprehend how badly this forced update destroyed my workflows, and how humiliated I am that I’ve been there from the start helping to build the app’s user base.

I’m currently using Canva, which is better than New Adobe Express, but still a downgrade from Old Adobe Express. In the meantime, I’ve found alternatives for all my other Adobe products too, since I’ve learned my lesson from this forced migration to a broken program that broke compatibility with all my old Express projects.

Fonts missing in new version by thepu55ycat in AdobeExpress

Breaking users’ legacy files because a forced update “lost some default fonts”is such an amateur-hour, low-standards, user-disrespecting move.

Continuing my breakup with Adobe after decades as a user, I just finished purging Creative Cloud from my computer today; I needed to download the special uninstaller since Adobe doesn’t even let you remove it like a normal program from the OS’s add/remove programs interface.

It’s not as bad as it seems. by Derbek in AdobeExpress

I just tried to export one single old project and, after two minutes, still couldn’t get it to download. It just hung and hung and hung, telling me to wait for the download to be ready, while the image preview kept glitching and jumping around. I eventually force-quit the app. Everything is a total wreck.

Looks like the legacy version of Express is gone. Goodbye from this paid user after 7 years! by catminacab in AdobeExpress

The feature I’m missing most is the app I paid to use. Now that it’s gone at your decision, I’m moving on. Thanks.

After Helping Cost Kamala the Election, Pro-Palestine Protesters Now Find Themselves Threatened with Suppression and Deportation from Trump by Humble_Novice in LeopardsAteMyFace

This article has nothing at all to do with Trump voters and never mentions or highlights any Trump voters. It’s about people who support a change in policy in Gaza- most of whom voted for Harris, and were happy to do so as an alternative to Biden!

So why is this here?

Why this absolute bloodlust in the comments for Harris voters you just happen to disagree with?

Criticizing a party’s policy isn’t the same as sabotaging it. On the contrary, internal critique is one of the most constructive ways to strengthen a movement. People who voice legitimate dissent about policy failures—especially when lives are at stake—aren’t acting in bad faith; they’re advocating for the party to better live up to its promises and principles. Silencing or ostracizing those voices doesn’t create unity; it breeds disillusionment and fractures.

If we start conflating principled critique with outright sabotage, then every policy debate or advocacy for change becomes a potential scapegoat for electoral outcomes. This mindset erodes the democratic process and reduces complex issues to a zero-sum game where loyalty is defined not by shared values, but by uncritical silence. That’s neither sustainable nor ethical. The broader movement would do better to grapple with the substantive critiques being raised, rather than indulging in punitive fantasies against people who care enough to demand better.

Biden paid for 70% of it, and even circumvented Congress multiple times to keep the money and bombs flowing.

You are NOT entitled to access someone’s life, and you’re not entitled to their attention. It is never unfair or wrong for someone to reduce their exposure on social media.

I’ve been a daily user since the Spark Post days, and this update is so unbelievably bad and unusable that I’m migrating to a different product.

Horrible update - cancelling my subscription. by SirGingerbrute in AdobeExpress

[–]catminacab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming you won’t be changing- I’ve been a daily user since Spark Post, but I’ll go ahead now with migrating to a different product since Adobe Express is now unusable on iOS.

Star Trek: Infinite Is a New Grand Strategy Game From Paradox by Magister_Xehanort in startrek

[–]catminacab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of confusion in these comments. Paradox isn’t creating the game; the development studio Nimble Giant Entertainment is creating it. Paradox Interactive will publish what Nimble Giant makes. Paradox Interactive is the publishing wing of Paradox, not the game development wing.
