✳️ “24 month pilot”: What happens after two years? Will students continue to have access to Adobe Express Premium?

Short answer:  we don’t know yet.  Access for students for these two years is being done as a test “pilot” program, and we have to see how this goes.  To that end, we really want to hear from you about your experiences using Adobe Express Premium.  Love it?  Hate it?  Indifferent?  Please let us know!

We also want to hear from any of you who try out Adobe Express Premium to contrast it to other apps you might be using! How would you compare the apps? What are the strengths and weaknesses?
