I don't see anywhere in the Description about a monthly subscription. I only see $1.99 in-app purchase for Creative Cloud Storage (20 GB). That's it.

I have the CC Photography plan so just signed in with that.

Easy enough to just download the pictures to the camera roll from within the app though.
 
Back in the 90s, (yeah a long time ago) Photoshop 4.0 could run just fine with 64 MB of ram on a 160mhz single core processor. Professional image editors who made a living with photo editing, used 200mhz machines with 128MB of ram to make Hollywood movie posters.

I was one of those people. The good old days were not that good. I wish I would have had a machine like todays Mac back then. Sure I had 128 MB of ram and I could edit big wall sized full color ads with that slow computer but I remember just saving the file for the print company for 45 minutes just to discover a typo! 45 Minutes to open the Photoshop file, one minute to edit the error and 45 minutes to save the file again. Remember missing two trains home that evening and wife and kids already in bed when I arrived home. The good old times.
 
Filters are old news and just about every photo app has its fair share. It's doubtful anyone uses them except to try them out (then toss the image in the trash)

Why do iPhone image editing apps have to be so juvenile and limited?

But here we are 25 years later with pocket computers (iPhone) that are more than 10X more powerful than those old machines --- and we get filter pack apps or extremely limited photo editing apps from other vendors.

Mind boggling
You answered your own question. Back then, professional users used the software and decided to purchase a machine to make money creatively. Now, the user wants to download a free app to post a cool image on a free social media platform to complain and moan about everything, developers adjusted their apps to their better serve their target audience.
 
Was willing to give it a try but you need to sign-in with an account to use the app (Facebook, Sign in with Apple etc). It's like, just let me use the camera!

So I deleted it.
Good for you man. Round of applause for this guy right here.

Ya’ll are seriously the saltiest mfers I’ve ever come across. Every comment section can’t wait to **** on something not made by Apple. Jesus.

also, those of you that keep complaining about a subscription. There isn’t one. Read the ****ing description.

“I’d like use this but I’m not paying adobe a sub”. YOU DONT HAVE TO MORONS.
 
I signed up with "AppleID" and Adobe still has my name and my email. WTF... I am getting rid of this app. What a bunch of BS. 1st time I have signed up with Apple ID and it's BS. More reasons to dump this crap.
 
Many silly comments about monthly subscriptions that seem to be confusing the Adobe Photoshop and Ligthroom subscription plans for MACs and PCs that also synch across their companion apps on your phone.

THIS app--Adobe Camera-- is NOT THAT.

This is a free app. It's a filters app with some AI. If that's something you wouldn't like to use, so be it. There's really no compelling reason to share that with the rest of us. I mean what's the point? Your offended that there is a free app that you wouldn't use?

Yes, like most Adobe apps, you need to sign in with your Adobe ID. If you already have Creative Cloud storage, it gives you access because you are signed in. If you don't, there is an in app purchase to buy some storage if you want--totally optional.

So, if you want to play Don Quixote to Adobe's windmill, go right ahead. But at least get some idea of what you're talking about. Many of the comments in the thread are so off--factually--that they just embarrass the poster.

What are you talking about? They get what you choose to send them as there are options. I ensured they just got my first name and the email address any follow up emails get sent to is one generated by Apple configured to forward the email to my REAL address.

Of course, you have the OPTION when using Sign In with Apple to send your REAL address.... but why would you?
 
Meanwhile Photoshop on OSX is getting worse day by day with all its annoying bugs ☠
 
Too bad it's tied to a monthly subscription. There are plenty of great photo editing apps that you don't have to rent.

And then probably like the Adobe suite, once your subscription expires then you lose everything. Used to believe in Adobe long ago, but when they moved from CS6 to their subscription model, nup.

Ease of use, predominantly.
Full image editing on a <6.7" screen would be a nightmare, it would be next to impossible to have a useable tool selector and workspace concurrently displayed.

And secondly, the target market.
Photographers who take it seriously will always use their computers for editing, as you're more likely to catch flaws looking at a 27/34/49" 4K(8K)monitor than on a 6.7" screen, and theirs is a perfection game. Time is not as limiting a factor.
Instagram "influencers" want a jarring color scheme or big eyes, and they want it ASAP because their's is a content game. More content quickly means more likes.

I had a subscription and later stopped payments to Adobe. So a year and a half later I decided to reload the App and sign in. My pics are still all there. Maybe because I never deleted my account? Anyways, interesting.
