Canva is my go to app for any projects I’m working on. (Except videos, those don’t make much sense on Canva in my opinion) I think it’s best purpose is for flyers. You can really have however much freedom you want: you could get a guided template, or just start from scratch with anything on it, really. I enjoy making book covers, websites, presentations, flyers, and invitations. Also, the tools are very easy to use but yet it feels like you have unlimited possibilities. Like, I. E, you making an invitation and you think: “what if I add pink balloons and sparkles in the background, and make all the text smaller,” then you could find an easy way to do that. Also, though I don’t have a very active social media presence being 11, there’s lots of things you could do on there for that kind of stuff like designing an instagram post picture. Speaking of, it’s also a great (free) photo editor. Doesn’t necessarily have photo shop abilities, but is still good. The only con is that about a quarter of Canva’s better stuff is only available for people who have bought “Canva pro” but I honestly don’t think it’s a necessary purchase considering the amount of things you could do without it. Canva is a wonderful app for anything. It has much more than you could imagine. It’s huge. It’s wonderful.

I love canva to create my own wallpapers, create simple animations, and design sophisticated school projects. I created an invitation for a birthday party on canva also and it came out so well. I have two problems with this app. There aren’t as many options for images to add if you don’t have canva pro. The pro images and free images are mixed together so you have to scroll down to find one that you like that isn’t something you have to pay for. They have a section for only pro images, but you have to scroll forever to find a good free image. They tend to put the bad free images at the top so I’ll be more likely to buy pro I guess? It’s annoying though. Understandable however, as they are trying to make money. I just wish there was an option to only search for free images. It might make the app less money but it would save me time and effort. Another big thing is video editing. I got this app for video editing, and don’t. It’s trash for video editing. It’s super pixelated and there’s lag. Soemtimes it does weird things like not matching up audio and video and I’ll have to restart the app for it to act normally. It’s so annoying having to constantly restart the app. It crashes all the time too. Canva just can’t handle big attachments like that. I know other reviewers were complaining about the lagging and crashing problem as well, and it needs to be fixed overall in canva, but especially in the video editing section.

Im a beginner in video editing and creating content for social media and Canva has been very simple to use and my content always looks great! I’m very impressed with how many things are available, sometimes you don’t even know what to pick (mind you I have the pro account). However, the only con I see is that Canva is very glitchy. For example, if I’m editing a video, the video will buffer and sometimes won’t run smoothly if I’ve been working on the video for awhile. I also have the app on my phone and it’s difficult to complete projects if im toggling between apps on my mac book and phone not sure if Canva is intended for this kind of use but if I’m working from home on the app on my Mac and then I want to complete the project on my phone (vice-versa) the video will not open properly and I cannot continue editing because the video won’t play/run as it should. Sometimes I need to reload the app and then it still doesn’t work properly. There’s been a few times that I’ve had to delete whatever I’m working on and restart a new and complete right then and there because I know if I’m come back to it will be hard to complete. Another note that sometimes it’s difficult to upload media on the app (Mac book) iPhone seems to work pretty well. Overall, I highly recommend Canva. I hope that someone from Canva team reads this review and and provides some assistance or on the next update fixes these glitches.
