Adobe XD is an advanced n UI and UX design platform that can be used to create everything from apps to websites. The tool is popular among developers for creating and collaborating on wireframes, prototypes, and mockups. A platform is a vector-based software that is meant to turn flat images into 3D renderings and create augmented virtual reality experiences. It also offers access to features such as repeat grids, plugins, and extensions.

Very simple layout tools, and integration with brand assers via linked libraries.
On-premise version would be much appreciated. Clients not always comfortable storing assets in the cloud.
Quick and easy layouts for web apps allow for improved project turnaround speed.
The easy to use interface, maybe because it gives you a user experience close to the one you get from using other adobe products.
Still lack some features that are available in competitors
UX design
Very easy to use, easy setup, smooth UI, and works perfectly o MacOSX
I like every little thing. It's pretty easy to use
Create mocking of my websites in effortless steps
It's quick. The speed at which XD loads and moves around, it is so easy to use and navigate. I can do live edits in front of clients while they critique instantly.
Scrolling on the feedback or comment site is slow. Hard to use sometimes. I find myself teaching other people how to use it.
We used to build websites directly in the website builder, but now we cut out unnecessary work by using XD.
Unlike other Adobe products like Illustrator or Photoshop, XD is very user friendly and intuitive.
I would like the ability to import XD documents into Illustrator.
I use Adobe XD to create mockups for new apps and website features for our business.
I like how simple it is to just grab placeholder objects and create a simple wireframe. After the wireframe is made I can easily create repeating grid items and add visuals.
If I want to include place-holder text I have to install a third-party plugin. That's a built-in feature in most other adobe products and seems like it would be natural for this.
It helps to create wireframes and web mockups quickly in an easy to share way.
The best W10 UX/UI software, they have improved it a lot in the last months. Works well as a simple and free version of Illustrator.
I dislike that you need to pay to work with the team. But being fair, it's a business.
I do Facebook Ads assets with XD and UX/UI designs.
I think Adobe XD is the first step made by Adobe towards a easier-to-use suite of tools. They put the best from PS and AI into a very simple tool, easy to use by UX/UI designers for any kind of UI prototyping, wireframe, sketches and even for fast PS-like activities. I prefer it over Sketch for its simplicity.
Maybe some functionalities are missing, they have to work hard in order to reach Sketch but, again, I prefer XD over Sketch for the UI
I produce UIs in minutes, my work is based on this. Also it’s free.
The whole user friendliness of this app deserves a word. It’s very easy and intuitive to proceed with your project. Totally suggest to have a go!
It is quite limited in terms of plugins to download, but if you do find them, then it’s kind of hard to implement.
We are as a team drafting app designs for our clients
Being a user experience designer I have worked with a wide array of prototyping software. Sketch, InVision, etc, etc., but none of them quite compare to Adobe XD. I never thought I'd say this considering I have been an avid Sketch user for many years, but XD truly has come out fast and on top. The application is smooth and so easily integrated with the other Adobe products. A very solid product.
One thing I wish XD had that Sketch does have is the ability to "go back to the last page" during prototyping. This is particularly useful when you have a single page that you can get to from a multitude of other pages.
A tremendous amount of design and user experience problems. This application is so quick and easy, I can knock out mock-ups and wireframes in seconds. Allowing for my productivity to thrive at the workplace.
I love the auto-animate release and being able to copy eps files into XD from illustrator and vice versa.
Shared XD document on cloud is buggy especially if two people are using it at the same time.
I can work a lot faster with the copy eps into XD and being able to prototype the movement of the elements.
In love with how easy this program is to design and pro type a product. I learned how to use the whole program in an hour
I wish we were able to link to external links. This would would really helpful while finishing up a prototype.
I just finished creating a portfolio for a client in less than a week. Super easy to use and even they can go back in and change details they need to.
We love that the development team has an easy way to read and develop directly from an XD file and that assets are automatically embedded! The UX design aspects are great too for client presentations!
We wish that XD had a bit more similarities to Photoshop as far as the auto-palette creations!
We solved a problem with design to the development interface!
I love how simple to use this app is. It syncs with your Adobe Cloud across all your devices.
Sometimes it crashes on windows 10 and it is not supported in other operating systems like windows 7.
Adobe XD helps me creating beautiful web designs to give a better idea to my clients how their websites can be benefited from a newer website.
The user interface is really easy to use, learning curve is short and the tutorials are comprehensive.
Sometimes features are hidden too well, for example object masking.
Wireframing mobile apps and web pages.
AdobeXD is hands down one of the best UI mockup / wireframing tools on the market. And best of all it is free to use. We use it extensively to model our in house tooling systems. It even comes with some wireframing tool kits to get you up and running quickly. Hands down the best feature in the tool is the grid replication to create amazing carousels and lists.
When we started using it, it was still in beta and still had quite a few glitches, but they seems to be sending regular patches.
We needed a wireframing tool to mock up our curation tool which manages our recommendation engine, Adobe XD helped us visualize how all the functions and configurations would be presented to our curation team.
Easy to use, it has many features that make it different from others, such as the effects of transitions between one screen and another.
It would be great to be able to load previews on your own domain. For now you can not insert videos or embed html code.
I have created interfaces for both desktop and mobile websites and for iOS and Android applications
Two different tabs for design and prototype your graphic interface. You can add interactivity between two screens.
There is not touch gestures or menu effects
I created interfaces for iOS and Android apps or prototypes of websites
As a user experience designer, I was using products like invision to help with click through prototyping. The problem with this was that it didn't sync up with other adobe products. I like that XD easily transfers files from illustrator.
I think the capabilities for designing are lacking a little. It would be nice to have more design tools, like illustrator but maybe not as fleshed out.
click through prototyping for user testing, prototyping user pathways to show upper management and teammates, viewing on the phone
The repeat grid functionality is a huge time-saver when working on projects with repetitive elements like lists or card layouts. I can simply create a repeat grid and make changes once.
I've noticed that the learning resources and documentation provided by Adobe XD can sometimes fall short. While the user interface is generally intuitive, I've run into situations where I needed more in-depth guidance.
Adobe XD is solving the issue of seamless integration across design phases. Previously, transitioning from initial design concepts to interactive prototypes required exporting assets and juggling between different software. This process was time-consuming and often led to inconsistencies in the final product.
