Senior designer

I used to love using this for creating UI and visual designs for digital applications. In the early days it was much better than applications like illustrator or photoshop.

It is very simple and practical to use and super intuitive. For those who are used to other applications in the same segment, it will certainly have even better usability.

The plugins available are great so for example you can integrate css with sketch and have great control over your web design.

Overall love using this tool - despite a number of other great options out there on the market.

The user experience is terrible. Also the prototyping feature is poor.

Elevates all the design work we do. Terrifically priced, first rate software.

Assistant digital projet Manager

The biggest problem is that the format is not compatible with PCs, which makes it difficult to work together in certain situations.

Adobe Photoshop

Provides robust agility for designing Application prototyping.

Fancy app design tool

Indispensable tool

I'm using it as a frontend developer, so when i open the document it's already created by a designer. I use the sketch document to get the visual aspect of the app/website, exports visual elements etc.

A nice tool to design apps & websites

I use Sketch as my main design tool for all the new products and features I oversee.

Great for Product Design

My experience has been very satisfactory because I have been able to create good designs for web pages and apps.

The best platform to design apps and web pages

Best UI/UX designing tools

Sketch is a really powerful app that can utilized in many different ways. This is pro software and it has the features for it. I find it most useful when making mockup designs and then prototyping.

Sketch - Prototyping made easy.

OMG! I have been able to prototype lots of UI/UX projects and integrate them to other platforms successfully with ease. 

Sketch Software: 'A designers Dream tool for streamlining Design Process'

Sketch to Success

Sketch is still valuable, but got behind on Figma

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.

Best Product Design Tool Available For Mac/iOS

Using Sketch has been a great experience for me. I've crafted some excellent and quite complex designs for new apps. I will continue to use Sketch going forward.

Best Vector Graphics UX/UI Design Tool For Creating iOS & Other Apps

Personally, I'm a happy Sketch user however when it comes to projects that require more communication and collaboration, I opt for other tools (Figma!) which my colleagues can use too without Macs and without paying for accounts, etc.

I like Sketch but there are good alternatives out there too.

Whenever I need a UI project Mobile or Web I just think of Sketch, it is intuitive to work on those kind of projects and the size of the outputs are really small compared to other softwares.

Great, lightweight tool for UI design

Moving from Photoshop is a bit of a philosophy change, but one you get used to it, the whole design process starts getting much (MUCH) faster. After all Sketch is a design tool and not a photo editor. Functions are being added all the time or fixed or improved and mostly it saves clicks and valuable time.
The only issue are shared libraries and collaboration, which the product clearly was not inteded to have included at the time it has been layed out. But hopefully, this will change in future releases.

Robust and reliable

Pricey but works really well.

Its 2D capabilities are impressive and effective. This software is recommended for those seeking practical and versatile 2D graphic design software for their digital design projects.

Sketch Review

application for companies High

Great software for UI/UX designers, great for sketching, mockups, previews and prototyping. Highly recommend it! 

Sketch is the best tool for UI/UX designers.

We use Sketch to design our mobile app, web apps, website, and various other things. It's a key tool in our team's work. Figma is giving Sketch a real run for its money, but so far it's a better fit for our team. Competition is healthy, and I hope that translates into constant improvements over time.

Still better than Figma (for us), great for UI design systems, constantly improving

Following this logic of order and registration, we create an additional file called "Style" in which we describe all the elements and their possible variations. With this document it is easier for developers to take separate elements and assemble the site. It also helps to maintain consistency in the work of the different members and avoids problems caused by interpretations.


Graphic design oriented to the digital world

Sketch used to be the leader. It's just not anymore. Use Figma instead. 

I've moved on to bigger better things

I use Sketch daily to create user experience designs. It’s really the best tool out there right now. 

Still the best

Best in-class design software for Product designers

My experience has been excellent, with absolutely no complaints about this software, I have really managed to design absolutely all the work I have done with it without any problem and without counting that the software is so well optimized that it does not hang at any time and allows the work to become dynamic, entertaining and fast, in addition to how simple its interface is compared to other software allows you to easily achieve what you are looking for, unlike other softwares where you have to try and try again and again up to achieve what we mentally think.

One of the best vector graphics editors that exists

International Development Manager

Worth the effort, but be prepared to invest some time

Jake B.:                                               I'm Jake, the director of product at an event company, and I give Sketch four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below.
                                                       We considered a couple of other options, other than Sketch. We looked at Figma, but it ended up being a lot more intensive and feature-rich than we needed. And we also looked at Adobe XD, but the pricing and the ecosystem of Adobe was cost-prohibitive and a lot more than what we needed.
                                                       A few of the main reasons why we ended up going with Sketch is because the app has been around for a while. There's a very robust community around the app that supports it with tutorials and blogs. If you want to know how to do something and aren't sure, you can usually find some sort of YouTube video that will help point you in the right direction. There's also a pretty low price point, and we're a small company, and so that's very attractive. And then the development for the app is very continual. They fix bugs. They're quick on new features, but they're added with purpose and a very thoughtful, driven roadmap, which was nice to see that if you're going to invest in learning a new design tool, that you have the support and the features to go along with it.
                                                       Overall, onboarding and integration of Sketch into our business workflow was fairly seamless. It took a little bit of time to figure out some of the billing and getting the rest of the design team on board, but they have a pretty extensive online FAQ and some very helpful customer support agents that were able to get us pointed in the right direction.
                                                       One thing I'd recommend if starting off with Sketch is if you are going to move most of your design workflows into Sketch that you have computer hardware that can support it. It is rather resource-intensive. And so, if you don't have a computer with a lot of RAM and a pretty fast processor, it can make things a little bit debilitating. And so once we made those adjustments, we haven't had many other complaints with using Sketch for most of our workflows.

Principal Content Strategist 

Great tool for designing interfaces and simple vector art/icons

Chris T.:                                              My name is Chris. I am a principal content strategist. I work in the healthcare industry, and I give Sketch a four out of five.
                                                       Other products that I considered before moving to Sketch include the products in the Adobe Suite, Photoshop, as well as some online tools, such as InVision, and also Figma.
                                                       The reasons I chose Sketch are because it's easy to use. I found that it was really quick to pick up on how to use it. There wasn't a very steep learning curve for it. I also found that it does a great job of exporting to other formats that I could use, and also, there's just a wealth of knowledge out there about it because it's being so widely used. It was very easy to pick up, not only how to use it but things that you can add to it to extend your workflow.
                                                       Integrating Sketch into the workplace was relatively easy. I work with designers who were familiar with Sketch. In fact, several of them had worked with Sketch and were eager at the idea of adopting it and making it a part of our workflow. So the onboarding was relatively easy. There were already folks who had experience working with applications like Sketch, but because of its pretty robust set of features and its very low learning curve, it was widely welcomed and received and fairly easy to get incorporated into what we were doing.
                                                       What I would recommend for folks who are considering Sketch is that it's got a lot of great reasons to make it a part of your workflow and a part of your work setup. It's very easy to set up and get started with. The company that makes Sketch they do a great job in terms of providing updates to Sketch, providing resources. There is a great site that is provided that has plugins and kind of add-ons that you can incorporate into Sketch to make it do even more than what it does out of the box, which is pretty impressive because what it does out of the box is pretty good. So that, plus the fact that I think there's such a growing and thriving community of Sketch users that are constantly introducing new techniques and new ways of using it for maximum effect. And the fact that it's relatively inexpensive compared to other applications out there on the market, I think, makes all the more reason why Sketch is a worthwhile addition.
