“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.221.0) — good app and encourages creativity, but way too many things that you have to have an subscription for. it’s annoying.”
“[Canva] ★★ 2/5 (v4.230.0) — I have used this app for years now and never have I had so many problems. I seemed to do better with the free version that I do with the paid one! I use Canva daily for my businesses and every day. 20 minute tasks take 6-7 hours to complete. I have my…”
“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.124.0) — I’m using more the Canva in the browser because I have continuous issues with the Canva app in my desktop. I deleted and installed more than once trying to fix the problems with no result. These last days is suddenly “kind of working” but I’m not…”

“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.124.0) — I’m using more the Canva in the browser because I have continuous issues with the Canva app in my desktop. I deleted and installed more than once trying to fix the problems with no result. These last days is suddenly “kind of working” but I’m not certain this will continue.”
“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.124.0) — I’ve been a loyal Canva user for many years and use it extensively to run my small business. While I appreciate the new and exciting features Canva continues to introduce, I’m frustrated that even as an annual paying subscriber, my usage is increasingly limited or requires additional payment. As a one-woman business, I don’t need more seats or team members—I need greater creative access. Please consider higher usage limits or a “Solo Business/Power User” option for”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.227.0) — Canva used to be the easiest design software. I loved CANVA. But after a small hiatus, I hopped back on to a Canva I did not recognize. It used to be so easy to add a photo, create layers, move elements around… now you can’t do any of those things easily. Every time you try to adjust or add or edit… boom… a pop-up asking for $$$. What a big bummer.”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.226.0) — Canva used to be so good and easy to use. I don’t what they did to it but now it’s convoluted mess.”
“[Canva] ★★ 2/5 (v4.224.0) — The Canva AI usage sucks. I asked it to create one image and then had reached my limit for the month. Even though I haven’t used it in weeks. I shouldn’t have to upgrade (pay more than I’m already paying) to be able to use that feature.”
“[Canva] ★★ 2/5 (v4.223.0) — Canva used to be the creative industry’s best-kept secret—swift, intuitive, and genuinely empowering. Today, it’s unrecognizable: an over-monetized labyrinth choked with bloatware, aggressive upsells, and intrusive AI prompts. What used to take minutes now demands navigating a minefield of paywalls and forced templates designed to waste your time rather than facilitate creation. It’s traded utility for enterprise sprawl. A massive disappointment for long-time usersaz”
“[Canva] ★★ 2/5 (v4.222.0) — I have used the free version of CANVA for work for years. And it’s worked great until recently. It’s been a few weeks since I have made something and today when I saved and uploaded image to social media, it wasn’t as crisp as it normally is. I see what you all are doing. The quality for the free version is worse now. I had to take it into another app to increase quality of image. This has never happened before and I’ve been happy with free version until today. I also”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.222.0) — Canva is good but almost all the elements are not free and I do not want to pay.”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.221.0) — good app and encourages creativity, but way too many things that you have to have an subscription for. it’s annoying.”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.219.0) — I was the biggest fan of Canva and now they’ve upgraded it and it absolutely sucks. I do not recommend this app anymore.”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.219.0) — I just canceled my paid, constant, repetitive subscription. For years I sang the praises of CANVA. Recently, Canva was a refuge of simple, easy to use and fast design needs for those who shunned AI design traps. Recent changes reflect Canva caving to the AI pressure. Please know the vocal support your product receives from those who oppose fast and free AI design apps. And please consider supporting us as much as we support you.”
“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v4.219.0) — Canva used to be my favorite app, but the link between Instagram and Canva has been destroying the experience for me and I no longer rate a five stars. I will give it three because it is phenomenal at creating marketing material but the lack of help And communication has made it difficult for me to use the app. I can no longer export videos without the watermark from my Instagram and that’s one of the most important things for me please developers fix this bug.”
“[Canva] ★ 1/5 (v4.219.0) — Such an incredible disappointment lately. Clogged with useless apps that you can never get back to and AI garbage tools that don’t work”
“[Canva] ★★ 2/5 (v4.218.0) — Canva, you have a great selection of media to choose from when making content but the software is so genuinely frustrating to use sometimes because of its bugginess and its lack of features that the media selection might be its only redeeming trait. Granted, I’m being a little harsh here but still, I think we can do better, come on guys! The software just needs some updates to keep it competitive (and actually functional at times), and it’ll be great!”
“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v4.218.0) — Okay I love canva but come on I feel like they could improve the mobile version since I have an iPad. Laggy and a lot of features don’t work that well if you have an iPad it feels kinda clumsy but it’s pretty good for on the go quick edits.”
