InVision Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

Being able to create quick and easy prototypes. I also like the freehand tool to create and collaborate with others

The limited choices for interactions and animations for prototyping and linking content

User flow and user interaction

I like the direction of the company and the company's desire to innovate and push the boundaries.

I dislike the lack of flexibility and how slow integrations are. The prototypes seem to suffer depending on the web browser used.

Creating wireframes and helping developers understand what the finished product should look like.

Invision Studio is a perfect tool for creating amazing-looking prototypes. It is very intuitive when coming from Sketch or Figma and yet it offers powerful tools for UI animation.

The user's experience could be a little bit smoother. Sometimes it feels a little slow when working from my laptop (2013 MacBook Pro).

I can easily try and test beautiful UI animations. Before, I used to code my prototypes, which was very time consuming. InVision Studio helps me to quickly try if the idea works or not.

Ability to prototype and sync directly from Sketch

Inability to preview interactive prototype within Sketch, having to go into Invision to preview and realizing there are changes to be made back in Sketch

Designing a system for content management

Spec mode is clearly the selling point of this product. It makes hands off to developer an ease.

Prototyping tool features are very limited. Have to separate mobile and desktop screens is a hassle. Asset syncing is very unstable.

It helps to reduce the amount of work to set up style guide and UI specifications from designers to developers.

It provides great feature to sync and publish Sketch Files which could be previwed on browser.

Invision lacks in interaction as it seems like its just a page to page link but no option to add dynamic capabilites and animations for transitions.

Solving the Customer Experince problem by designing intutive latyouts in sketch and publishing it in invisong for devs to code.

Expressing design iterations and ideas for rapid exploration.

Buggy, sometimes things do not work as expected.

Communicating visually without having to write a bunch of code, focusing on design.

From my point of view it is a wonderful software, which provides the necessary tools for the development of a good business image. All the designs I've done with InVision are very creative thanks to the easy way to manipulate this software. It makes the image of my company much more modern and beautiful, while increasing the potential of my company. Everything I can customize it by my way. I also find the option of labeling very good, as well as adding other applications.

InVision most of the time is usually very slow. As well as most of the time the option to add other applications has problems. Another problem is that it can not load very heavy files. It is also a little annoying its design because it makes it a little difficult to manipulate.

Using this software the image of my company improved a lot. Through this software you can create a lot of very creative prototypes for your business. Now it seems to my clients that sharing logos is fun and entertaining.

Easy prototyping tool with simple drag and drop elements. Makes prototyping easy. Growing list of features coming up soon.

Buggy software, things disappear or stop working. Really unreliable.

Easy prototyping software, speeds up workflow when compared to Axure.

Ich mag die Tatsache, dass ich Prototypen aller Art erstellen und testen kann. Ich kann es mit meinem Team teilen und Feedback bekommen.

Für mich ist es ein bisschen kompliziert zu benutzen.

Ich benutze es, um meine Design-Prototypen zu testen und Meinungen von anderen Arbeitern und Kunden zu erhalten.

Its integration with Sketch makes this tool super invaluable. It's dev inspector makes designing for devs no effort at all on both sides. The sharing features and the prototyping capabilities are super useful to impress any client.

I think the organization is a bit off. With even a small project the ui of the website starts to become pretty overwhelming and unwieldy. The Sketch upload integration can be buggy and cause quite a bit of frustration. These things have actually made me seek other tools, but there just aren't perfect tools out there yet.

Prototyping, dev specs, project sharing. It does these things really well. It makes prototypes look and act like real websites and apps. Clients have been totally blows away in presentations. More than that, it acts as an excellent research tool, letting users click through flows and giving us a great tool to observe their instincts.

The collaboration options: it's easy to comment and discuss design projects. The sharing options: easy to understand and simple to use The option to create click zones to mimic a real website.

It's not possible to browse mockups when the commenting mode is activated. I haven't found a way to display pictures in their original full size. Updating designs is too complex. Most of the times, we end up creating a new project instead of updating an existing project.

Working on product and website prototypes.

Quick-prototyping UX flows/presentation.

Like I mentioned in the title of this review, it makes itself indispensable, but having said that, I do have some qualms. The craft plugin will crash Sketch if I try to use real data other than the names feature, the comments and conversation UI leaves much to be desired—it's clunky, and feels like there wasn't much testing done in a real-use scenario.

I use InVision every day. I like that I can hook it directly up to Sketch via the Craft plugin, and it's really useful for quick prototyping; ruling out UX flows/finding problems we might not have discovered, before. It's pretty widely used, so I can send it to clients and they have either already used it, or can quickly onboard themselves just by following a share link, and following tour points.

A fast and reliable solution with the ability to give and receive feedback. Easy collaboration made easy.

It is a web app. No mac app available as of now. Hoping it is on the pipeline with the release of Studio.

Giving and receiving design feedback

I like that it has the features to collaborate with other departments within one another.

I dont like that it's kind of messy. It can be difficult to find certain things after a while.

It's hard to add others in a conversation when it's already been going on for a bit.

Invision is really great for creating quick app prototypes. You can also easily share your work with your coworkers

I wish invision had more mockup phones like Samsung s8. Sync up with photoshop

Apps and websites protoypes

I like how simple it add hot spots. Also being able to share quickly is great.

Sometimes it's laggy once I replace thumbnails. ails and duplicates by accident

Quick for testing and showing team, for review sessions. For potential stakeholders it saves time than go to dev.

I like how craft plugin allows you to hook up Sketch to InVision. One click of a button and your artboards are in InVision. It's then super easy to link your artboards together to show the user flow of your designs.

I dislike how unless you have to design with specific devices in mind. E.g, make sure you create space for the iphone/android toolbar along the top.

Trying to demonstrate to my colleagues/bosses how certain components of a design would work when built out with code.

InVision is a great tool for those who are just beginning in the world of web and app design. You are able to easily and quickly begin mocking up your designs and help your audience understand the flow of your designs.

While it is a fairly quick tool to learn, it's hard to get answers the the questions you need quickly

We are able to show our designs to each other quickly and easily

Great for conducting realistic user tests, prototyping flows, and providing insight into ongoing features.

Sometimes unreliable – lots of downtime. Also, the enterprise plans available do not make sense for a small startup. Either everyone needs a personal plan, or you need to pay for more than you need.

It provides coworkers outside of the design team with insight into the process and progress.

How well connected it is with sketch. I have a plugin that exports my files directly to an art board. making it easy for me to keep my team updated with the latest design. Its Easy for them to give feed back through the product also. Myself and my product owner have found the free hand function really handy lately.. its quick easy to share

Prototyping flow is a pain. Change screens is clunky. Sometimes when you centre a design and click for this to be the default it either doesnt apply or its glitchy.. its can cause jumping

Prototyping, file sharing.

It's easy to use and offers a free trial.

There a lot of app functionalities that it does not offer.

Allows me to generate rapid prototypes to gain user feedback.

I like using Invision to display my designs in browser to a client before development.

I can't think of what I dislike. I only have a basic knowledge of how to use it.

Invision helps clients feel like the designs are more engaging.

The simplicity of use and the high fidelity designs I can mock up quickly

Lack of responsive web features and advanced functionality

Quick prototyping and mock ups

InVision App provide most usefuly function for designer new ideas for bussines and store for any fields

More flexybility on desktops apps e mobile apps

Prototiping for any platforms. Prototiping for any platforms.

I love how simple it is to use and the syncing feature from Sketch App. I also love that it is browser based and it is easy to share to others and gather comments.

The ability to create a high fidelity interactive prototype is still not supported or requires a lot of additional work (such as creating many states of a screen). The biggest obstacle comes from the fact that it is page based rather than layer based interactions (though there is some support, kind of, with laters - i.e. overlays).

I think the biggest business problem Invision solves as being a great communication tool. Not only can you communicate ideas to stakeholders but you can also gather feedback from those stakeholders in real time!

Using invision has helped immensely with showcasing my work to other teammates. After creating a project, it is the best way to show it in real time and a place to have all your work in one place.

I dislike that when you are trying to create a board, everything shuffles around and can get kind of confusing. I end up losing my place.

We are creating libraries in invison for teammates to go in and look at standards for design etc. It is great that we can also drop in working files for people to download

ease of use overall. The company provides great resources to learn about the program and how to use all their features

as of right now there's nothing that i really dislike about the program it has been a great help.

we prototyped our entire new interface on this and it also allowed us to share the design with people not directly involved with the project

I like the ease of sync projects easily and collaborate with other people

I cannot do many things in my prototype, like vertical navication, i cannot make a sticky menu on scroll

It's solving the good communication that i can with a client by commenting or previewing prototype. Clients are happy and can understand a very first view of their product

Ease of use. Once the assets are saved then it's quick to use.

Inability to fit in current workflow. We use other products.

Helps do prototypes
