Adobe Creative Cloud Express has helped with creating event invitations and announcements for use on our different media platforms. We have tried other office applications that didn't give us the desired results and were harder to integrate. Another huge benefit is that we are able to create directly from an iPad. This makes proofing ideas a snap. If someone wants to add or change, it is as easy as handing them the tablet and we are off to the races. I tend not to use the app on a phone, except for proofing. I prefer a larger screen to realize my project and make sure it displays on a phone screen as well. Adobe Creative Cloud Express and Apple mobile products work together well.
Pros
Adobe Creative cloud Express has a great selection of templates.
There is a vast number of fonts to choose from.
I like the stock clip-art that is available.
Cons
I had trouble resizing images. My images came out disproportionate.
I could not find a fast way to save to WordPress.
Other than above, it is a very lightweight app that is easy to use.
Likelihood to Recommend
I find Adobe Creative Cloud Express helpful in creating invitations and announcements for our events. Although my needs are very limited, Adobe Creative Cloud Express can be used for marketing purposes, art design, and posters. Keep in mind this is a mobile app. which makes it extremely portable and very easy to share with a team.

We began experimenting with and implementing Adobe Creative Cloud Express in an attempt to make a more dynamic online curriculum for our students and programming recipients. The hope was that it would provide us with a more fluid and visually dynamic alternative to a typical presentation/slide platform like Powerpoint or Google Slides.
Pros
Integration with abundant Adobe suite of services and platforms
Fluid, scrolling content as opposed to static slides
Nice inclusion of video, photos with more visually-centered focus
Cons
Limited text, font stylings and customizations
Limited integrations with other non-Adobe apps and platforms compared to best in class products
Limited customization, even in paid version, when it comes to styling, visual accents, coloring, etc.

It is a great option if you are already invested in the Adobe Suite of services. But, as a standalone product, it is not necessarily worth the cost when compared to best-in-class alternatives that provide more visual customization, ready-made templates, and the ability to seamlessly integrate with other platforms, media sites, and content hosting sites that help to create the kind of dynamic content that users expect to see these days.
We are using Adobe Creative Cloud Express to create social media posts, email messages and flyers / posters. It’s an accessible tool to create inviting and professional materials without needing a lot of training.
Pros
Provides an intuitive interface for people who are not very tech savvy.
Makes it easy to tailor the creations to different platforms or intentions, such as printing for flyers, posters, etc…
It isn’t overly complicated to use, yet has many features that are useful.
Cons
I’d love to see Adobe Creative Cloud Express be able to save a customized brand theme, so I don’t have to enter the colors by hand each time.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think this is a great tool for people wanting to create items with great graphics who don’t have the skills or knowledge to utilize higher-level graphics programs. It is also a lower-priced alternative that is accessible to smaller companies and nonprofits.
