Sketch cloud never seems to work well to sync our files between coworkers > > It's a good software, but if you're collaborating I prefer to go elsewhere ----- ### "Best Product Design Tool Available For Mac/iOS" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My company primarily uses Sketch to design the mobile application designs and share them using the Zeplin plugin. I have used Sketch to create high fidelity mockups and mobile app designs. I love it's clean UI, intuitiveness, various plugins, pixel perfection. As I am a Product owner and coming from a non-designer background, there has been a little learning curve while learning to use this product but it was all worth it. Additionally, the key command shortcuts makes the design process so easy and productive for me. I highly recommend using Sketch for your product designs. > > **Cons**: One of the biggest limitation of using Sketch is that it is only available on Mac and this limits the collaboration with the rest of the team (which might be majorly on Windows). Additional issue I have faced multiple times is that whenever I am creating Product designs which has numerous art boards (like 60+), Sketch tends to lag a lot and makes it impossible to export the files. Moreover, Sketch is not a great tool for Prototyping. > > I really love using Sketch. It's one of my favorite tools to use for mobile app designing. Even though it's collaborative features are not that great, however, it's clean interface, intuitive design, key shortcuts and tons of plugin options makes it one of the best product design tool out there. ----- ### "i love sketch" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 December 2019* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: sketch is possibly my favorite software amongst all that i use regularly. I love the features, functionality and usability of the product. works great > > **Cons**: one disadvantage to sketch is the inability to freehand draw through the program. if this feature was available on sketch i would have absolutely zero complaints > > sketch allows me and those I work with to design quickly and effectively ----- ### "Sketch is an awesome prototyping too for information technology agency." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 June 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our company offers a full suite of IT Services Like web design \& Development, Graphics Design, also digital marketing, so our prototyping needs to run and then hand off to my UX counterparts. Sketch allows us to manage both ends of the spectrum and everything in between, ensuring consistency and collaboration between team members. They then take those and turn them into high-fidelity designs that we use to test with customers. Sketch works great for this. > > **Cons**: Sometimes keyboard shortcuts are not the same as photoshop. This system needs to improve I think. Because maximum designer uses photoshop that why you design your keyboard shortcut like photoshop then much easier for your user. > > I also solve my web design \& development service. When I get any client this time they want a live demo of how to look there website. This time I create a prototype using Sketch. I can create very fast and easily from here. ----- ### "Best UI design tool for Mac" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 September 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is by far the most intuitive user interface design software out there. It is made for screens first, whereas a program like Illustrator has a lot of features built for print first. You can still design screens in Illustrator, but Sketch is built to measure in pixels first and has a much simpler interface. I can quickly mock up a landing page, logo, app screen and more, faster than any other program. They remove a lot from their own interface that I feel can be distracting in a program like Illustator. > > **Cons**: I'm a Mac user, so this doesn't matter to me, but it only works on Mac's for now. Apparently they are working on a Windows version, but as of September 2020 when writing this, there is no known release date. Does not open layered .eps files, so I either use a web based conversion tool or open it using Affinity Designer and converting to .svg to work with .eps layered in Sketch. I find myself wanting to use this interface to create flyers and other print materials as well. I have to go Google dimensions of regular print items to set them properly. While I know that's not the intention of this software, that would be valuable to me and help this software compete with Adobe on print graphics the way they do with vector graphics. > > The most intuitive and effective vector graphic software I've ever personally used. The fact that it's not cross platform may be a deterrent to teams that want to standardize tools, but I don't mind it personally for my own use. ----- Page: 1 / 34\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/263343/sketch?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/263343/sketch) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
