I have been using Adobe Spark as a tool in my everyday classes, for example, like a student portfolio or digital scrapbook where I can check my student's posts and keep track of their creative activities. Personally, I use some of the templates as activities with my students and to share my art with engaiging posts. The free version is very useful, but I recommend purchasing the Adobe package, as it comes as part of it.
Pros
Adobe Spark allows me to create easily all kinds of projects, like web pages, flyers, slides, banners, videos, and much more. It's accessible from any device PC, Chromebook, and even your mobile phone. It already has a lot of beautiful premade designs and templates, The best part is that lets you share them directly on any social media with a predetermined size for better quality. With the free trial app, anyone can download it and use it for free.
Cons
It's not very detailed for video editing but is very easy to make short videos with pictures and subtitles.

It is easy to use, with helpful tutorials and guidance available to help beginners get started. Additionally, the subscription-based pricing makes it an affordable and convenient way to access the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art Adobe products.
Cons
Despite its many advantages, there are some drawbacks to Adobe Creative Cloud Express. It can be difficult to keep track of all the different programs in the suite and a lack of integration can make it challenging to transfer work from one program to another.

Misleading Introductory Random Photo Collage Generator with Multiple Photo Upload Feature

Spark was great, until I committed to using the software and the features I started using Spark for were no longer available, even under a higher priced tier.
Pros
It was very easy to use during prior to my workspace "becoming established." Other
Cons
Adobe Spark initially allowed me to create randomly generated multiple photo collages (which I could upload the photos all at once) for social media posting. This took me less than a minute. I used Spark to put together collages with 10-14 photos weekly for about six weeks. This I learned is available as a website promotion only (https://www.adobe.com/express/create/photo-collage "Design your free collage now"), since randomly generated multiple photo upload collages are not available for established users of Spark once your "desktop is established" according to the Adobe Spark Insiders FB Group. Now every photo must be uploaded individually, and there is no template to randomly generate a collage with pictures of different sizes/aspects, taking more than 15 minutes to do the exact thing I was previously doing in under one. This feature is the reason why I started using Spark. This style template for uploading multiple photos at once to create a random collage should be available to "established users of Spark." I will be finding another platform to use until this tease feature is an actual feature for people that actually commit to using Spark.
