Adobe XD Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

I think the overall use of the application is very easy. It was one of the early software aimed explicitly at UX and UI designers. Features such as auto animate and repeat vectors make the work easier and quicker.

Nothing to dislike as of now, the only sad part is that adobe is slowly moving from free to paid, basic features like exporting as pdf are not available for free users since latest update.

I have been in the field of UX design for 3 years and Adobe XD is the application I used every day, delivering all my projects with help of it. People also use it for graphic design and content creation.

It helps to create a seamless user experience, best for prototyping.

it does not support designing customized shapes.

With Adobxd we can work on multiple artboards as compared to photoshop.

The thing i like most of Adobe XD software is the quality of the outcome images. The user interface is really pretty amazing. All features and tools that are available in Adobe Xd is so good and well effective. This Adobe XD software is really very easy to use and learn. In Adobe XD Prototyping is really easy.

In Adobe XD software there is no built in animation timeline so it is difficult to go beyond simple animations without plugins.The cost of this software is pretty much expensive. Its gets difficult to control when you have in excess of 90 pages on a similar dashboard.

My experience with Adobe XD is really amazing because I always create my websites and application designs in the Adobe XD. We have used adobe XD as our main tool for web development or application development. I am really very satisfied with the vector drawing tools and other tools.

We use Xd for mock-up works for out technical developments. It is a very helpful tool to show what you are talking about to the stakeholders. thanks to this tool for making everything clear for both technical team and all of the stakeholders. Xd is improving itself with every update.

It may take some time to master the application. The lack of dark mode is an area that can be improved in terms of energy efficiency. Video and animations need improvements

It is a program that can offer very useful and detailed features in terms of establishing a much clearer and more accurate communication on subjects that are difficult to explain in writing.

With XD I can easily add my Photoshop designs from creative cloud. It makes me faster when creating user experience designs for software projects. No UX design tool can beat that!

Sharing UX design files is restricted to paid plans only.

As a designer, having an integrated platform like XD that allows me to seamlessly access templates, collaborate with other designers, and publish to my portfolio is a life saver.

I like how focused it is on UI design needs; comparing with other software like Photoshop, it contains tools we needed for so long, like components and their states. I'm happy with how easy it is to share and maintain them up to date with just a few clicks.

I think that there is some room for improvement with the compatibility between different versions; it is frustrating working with colleagues that don't frequently update their software, or even worst, they can't pay for another month and XD become completely useless for collaborative work.

I usually use it to prototype clients' web apps; I design screens and share them pretty quickly with the tools provided by XD. I find that clients can navigate easily and understand where the hotspots are and how to move between screens because of the simple user interface.

The best thing I like about Adobe XD is its easy-to-use interface. Anyone with less experience can use it easily without any hasle. I can also give transition to my design. I can use it to switch between two design screens of any apps. That is my most favorite feature. I can also customize it. I can also save files in the cloud so I can access them from anywhere. Adobe XD provides updates regularly. The best thing is Adobe XD comes with mobile apps, so we can try our design on our mobile, which gives a preview of the app.

The thing I wouldn't say I like if I want to use the full features of Adobe XD then I have to purchase a monthly plan. In Adobe XD, I can only draw basic shapes. As Adobe XD provides updates regularly; Sometimes, updates come with bugs, which creates problems in design. If I want to generate a CSS file of my design, I have to install plugins separately.

I am creating Mobile Apps designs using Adobe XD.

Es un software de Adobe el cual da la impresión que tiene pocas carácterísitcas, sin embargo tiene las necesarias y más allá. Adobe XD tiene una curva de aprendizaje muy baja, no es complejo. Es secillo de iniciar ya que Adobe se ha preocupado en incrustar videos explicando cada función, lo cual beneficia al usuario sobretodo si llega a haber una actualización y nuevos agregados. La plataforma te surte de un gran escritorio, y en ese espacio gris comenzarás a establecer tu mesa de trabajo. Las mesas de trabajo las puedes seleccionar de plantillas prestablecidad como por ejemplo el tamaño de un ipad, un celular, una web o si esto no te resulta funcional lo puedes personalizar a tu gusto. Sobre las mesas de trabajo crearás tus diseños. En las mesas de trabajo contarás con texto y figuras como cuadrados o circulos para emular menus o partes de cualquier software, incluso ayudan a insertar en ellos imagenes. Adobe XD es compatible con otras aplicaciones las cuales ayudan a complementar las necesidades que tengas. En las mesas de trabajo podrás agregar íconos y estos íconos conectarlos a otras mesas de trabajo para crear la ilusión de estar accediendo a otra pantalla, ventana o pestaña. Es un producto maravilloso y toda empresa que trabaje con windows o iOS y requiera generar mockups para ilustrar especificaciones de de contar con este software. Otra caracterisitca que es muy útil es la nube, todos los documentos se suben a la nube y además los puedes descargar en tu equipo.

El incrustar video es mediante una aplicación externa, y honestamente es la parte menos intuitiva de Adobe XD. Lo ideal sería incrustar video desde la misma plataforma.

La presentación de nuevo software al cliente resulta fabulosa ya que suelen impresionarse de ver el software antes de ser realizado. Incluso lo hemos utilizado en la empresa como manual virtual para poder capacitarlos con software de la empresa. Es una gran experiencia para todos.

It's very simple and focused, but not at the expense of powerful features (e.g. smart animated transitions). I also like the way you can publish prototype links for different purposes (e.g. user testing, feedback, etc.) and control whether changes are both saved and published or simply saved.

The process of linking screens to create a prototype is fairly labor-intensive. Also, XD doesn't automatically adapt to the screen size of the device it's being previewed on; you have to tell it how much of an artboard is visible (i.e. define a vertical breakpoint) and the width of the artboard will shrink or enlarge to fit the device. Sketch is much better in this regard.

While we officially use Sketch on our team currently, some of us are leaning on XD for richer animations and for creating prototypes for testing. It's possible that we will switch over fully, but for now we use it to augment Sketch.

Being able to integrate with our companies UX library so that anyone in the enterprise can select standardized UX components to build their products. The hard part is configuring the software but once all the technical work is out of the way designing flows easily. We have also used adobe XD to resize signatures and experiment with color coding. Being able to export CSS after designing so that the developer has what he needs for coding is very useful

Adobe XD could do a better job with in-app guidance and directions on how to use all of the tools available. Getting started with Adobe XD resulted in a lot of time spent learning how to use all the features. Then again, once you learn it then sky is the limit!

The biggest problem for our team was not having a dedicated UX/UI designer. Product folks like myself were responsible for creating low and high fidelity mockups and wire frames. Adobe XD was able to facilitate the need by giving us easy access to our companies UX library. Animating is difficult to do in adobe XD when compared to using sketch.

Ease of use. Also the frontwards and backwards compatibility of the Creative Cloud tools.

The collaborative aspect of XD is lacking. It doesn't (currently) allow more than one person to work on a file at the same time.

Designing interfaces and mapping out solutions for our upcoming web projects.

One can easily use XD without any background of design or anything else. It is easy to use, implement and share.

XD just updated itself and made sharing files and everything hard. Now you have to pay for full version to use all features.

WireFraming, Design, Etc

Adobe xd is very easy to use. It has so many amazing features. We can design user interface and build prototypes. It is very suitable for working in a team. It's cloud based service i.e. your design is saved in the cloud and there is no chance of losing your designs. Backup gets refreshed every 15 minutes. You can easily copy screens, add symbols, text, pictures, diagrams, change colors etc to make high quality designs. We can add all sorts of icons (drop-downs, search bars, zoom in etc.) which are essential things in user interface of any application.

Some features are not so easy to use and require some guidance or training before you can use them. For e.g. In prototype section, you can create the flows of screens. But it's not so easy to use. There could be hints popping-up to better explain the features.

Our company is using Adobe xd for developing user interfaces for certain desktop and mobile applications. This is an amazing tools to actualize our ideas into high quality visual designs so that software development team can very easily understand the requirements of design thinkers.

Adobe XD has been integral in my work at a non-profit, in which resources and budgets are constantly being reviewed. Also, due to IT security structures, I am restricted to using a Windows device and thus, design software compatible for that OS. I have some personal Apple devices that I can use seamlessly for testing and responsive review while my main work completed on the desktop. The integration of the prototyping and team review modes is also assisting my team in creating a better workflow for sharing designs/prototypes remotely for design reviews and Dev handoff.

Adobe is constantly updating, so sometimes interactions have moved or changed to become more robust, which always throws me off a little. But the payoff of these enhancements outweighs my slight, and albeit temporary, inconvenience to learn the change.

I am building responsive enterprise style SAAS with a companion mobile app for accreditation software in the healthcare/medical industry. Adobe XD is helping me solve redesigning and prototyping enhancements to our products with very complex back-end structures, and visually dense front-end data/information for users. I'm utilizing Adobe's components quite heavily, which allow me to quickly build these complex screens in a fairly quick and modular approach. It also has allowed me to efficiently build style guides and UI libraries, so I can quickly get Dev new assets, as well as identify when there is an odd-ball element built by original designers that are either not consistent to the rest of the areas, or do not follow best UX/UI practices.

1. It is totally user friendly. Even for first timers, it will not take much time to figure out the working procedure. 2. Can be shared online even when using free account. 3. Can be exported in a lot of formats according to your need

1. Cannot not directly coded from there. 2. Crashes can be noticed and after reopening previous work is gone. So have to save after every change.

It saved a lot of my time in web designing. Moreover you can just export the design and add it in the webpage directly. Yes, the adding part can be little tricky sometimes.

Being able to present a preliminary image of the user interface helps us to discuss the direction and changes that our project will take. We can take into account all opinions and make rapid changes because it is much easier to make changes in the design stage than in the development stage. Adobe XD saves us valuable time in the development stage because we all already have a clear idea of what we have to do.

There are still features that are not yet available such as collaborative editing and document history.

Adobe XD helps us design interactive interfaces that simulate real user navigation and thus present a prototype of the website to customers and see what things to improve or correct before starting with the development of the project.

I like Adobe xd because, it is a good program for creating graphical interfaces, it allows us to create interfaces for multiple devices at the same time, so that we can see how our layouts adapt to various sizes. It is a light and very powerful software, I love being able to download the graphic packages that this software gives us, they are a good starting point to model our layouts.

don't like the fact that most of the extra tools are paid, but still it remains a good product!

Since I have it I no longer have problems designing and creating graphical interfaces, and in just a few clicks I can adapt them to each format and customize them for every device!

My favorite feature in Adobe XD would have to be prototyping and collaboration. Never before has it been easier to gather feedback from stake holders in your projects.

XD being a fairly new program is still missing a few features that would make life easier for designers. Simple things like swapping sections of a page without having to create a new artboard would be nice.

The biggest benefit we have realized from Adobe XD is a simple way to gather feedback in a centralized portal.

We have been absolutely loving the components and linked assets. Its been a brilliant way to share our design system between teams

I do think the prototyping needs some work. There are lots of funky features but it's lacking some core robust functionality. Only today it refused to sync my pages because everything had to be linked to the homepage for some odd reason, quite limiting.

Collaboration between visual design and UX design.

You can create as realistic prototypes as possible with Adobe XD. The system runs well both on desktop and mobile. Sync is very smooth. When you go beyond prototyping and the developers need to start coding, Adobe XD allows accessing all specs and downloading all assets easily. This is a must have tool for mobile app devs.

Sometimes we have experienced issues with syncing. Sometimes, especially as your files become larger, the app fails to open them. We noticed that this used to happen on the Desktop version more frequently than on the mobile version. Though, recently this problem has been almost gone.

We have accelerated mobile app development and achieved nearly pixel perfect state.

I like how we can create user flows for any web site or mobile application.

The process of making the screens and adjusting the fonts isn't very smooth. I faced issues using that, and i felt it wasn't as fluid as it's competitor figma.

I've been able to present prototypes to my clients quickly and been able to get the feedback early on.

This tool certainly helps in the productivity of website development in regards to design work with clients. I can share my work with clients virtually without having to travel onsite.

This tool should have a better set stand of tools to work with like other Adobe products.

Increased productivity and better client response to design changes.

The level of personalization given to my drawings.

It is not so easy to manage the final propotype, if the drawing is complicated and composed by a lot of colours.

I manage the assets panel better than other applications.

It is the easiest and fastest way to create professional web prototypes.

Being a new platform, sometimes it generates small failures, but often they are insignificant or are fixed quickly and easily, or there is an alternative that avoids it.

At the University of Girona they always ask for a report before doing any work. Thanks to this platform, I have been able to reduce the delivery time of the report to about half of what it usually took.

I like that the software offers both designing and prototyping tools which allows me to create projects without using multiple apps. I like that once created the prototypes can be previewed on mobile devices. Its a very easy to learn software

Installing this software requires a large space on your device’s and it take alot of internal memory. This software has a monthly cost it cannot be purchased outright.

Being able to preview the prototype on my mobile before going live, also being able to share the prototype with customers/members of the team that dont even have Adobe XD installed

The experience I have had with Mockups for web pages with Adobe XD, I emphasize how well it works and the advantages of framing the entire design of an application. The process of designing and developing a web or mobile app organizing the idea of what one wants best. It's much easier.

Like Sketch, XD does not have image editing tools. You will need some Adobe products to edit.

It's not the easiest tool to use. If you know about other Adobe products, many of the tools will be the same or you will feel familiar.

Easy to use and very user oriented. Good impression and as usual a good tool at first said. Need to go deeper to test it but as I said the first contact was good. Adobe standarts.

Pricy licences. But the rest is very good, I need to say that I just use this last version couple of times but impressions are good.

Easy prototype for web page design. Easy to show and rework with users and mobile friendly. Mac and windows compatibility as usual.

I like his versatility in this application in design your website

There are some complex functions useless and can bring bad experience.

Surely with Adobe XD is possible create your site in few steps and very easy to use it.

The best thing about adobe xd is that it allows you to create a prototype whuch is great feature to explain about your product

Masking is somewhat complicated compare to Photoshop.

I'm creating svg icons for my project. To create icon is suoer easy with xd's pen tool easy controls
