Adobe Pulling Photoshop Touch From App Stores

For photographers who love editing photos on the go, there are a ton of apps that they can choose from, although given the popularity of Adobe’s software on the desktop, it isn’t surprising that many might go for Adobe’s mobile apps such as Photoshop Touch. Unfortunately it seems that Adobe will be discontinuing the app come 28th of May.

According to a blog post on Adobe’s website, “Sometimes building for the future means we need to make hard choices and today I am also announcing that we are discontinuing Photoshop Touch. For those of you who have been using Photoshop Touch, thank you and please continue creating amazing work with it; while it will no longer be available in stores as of May 28th and we won’t ship further updates, it will remain completely functional on your devices for the foreseeable future.”

Like Adobe said, the app will continue to function on your device, but in the future should any OS updates cause the app to break or if there are bugs spotted, you’d pretty much be on your own after the 28th of May. However this does not mean that Adobe will stop developing for mobile. Instead the discontinuation of Photoshop Touch is meant to open the door to new mobile applications.

According to Adobe, “Photoshop Touch was available across platforms and so I’d like to leave all of you on Android with some good news – we’re actively developing new mobile applications for Android and will share those with you very soon.” In the meantime for those who’d like to get their hands on Photoshop Touch, head on over to Google Play or the iTunes App Store for the download before it is gone.
