I really enjoy the integrations it has with sketch and other software. The sketch integrations (with the Craft) plugin is the most useful, since Sketch allows for interaction points to be set and designs are able to be automatically uploaded along with those interaction points.
Searching mockups is not always accurate. I have found when searching my mockups within InVision it doesn't always come up with the mockup cards relevant to the search.
Collaboration, streamlining product design feedback and workflow.
The number one thing - it saves me from the days when I needed to send JPEGS to my clients with the designs and where each JPEG to be indifferent hights people would see it very zoomed out. inVision has created a tool where you can preview JPEGS in a web-like form and allows you to link it all together as if it were a real website. The ease of exporting to inVision from Sketch is absolutely great! I love the inspect element function that allows developers to just see the style of everything without me having to babysit them during every step of the development. The same applies for the assets exporting too - straight to inVision directly from sketch.
inVision's customer account service is not great, I was paying for my steam account and then wanted to transfer ownership but they just left me doing that on my own regardless that I was a paying customer.
Better presenting the designs to my clients by allowing them to click through the website as if it was real. Not having to deal with cutting and cropping graphics for the developers or providing them with the style details of all the design elements.
Love that it supports @2x + and I really like how easy it is to make prototypes and it’s incredibly easy to send them to your device via SMS
I wish there were more advanced prototyping options like swipe actions etc. Most importantly to overlay gifs and video
Prototyping and the ability to share with a wider audience and would be great to have an improved feedback feature or implement more features from something like usertesting.com
It’s simple and minimalistic. There is ideal environment for inspiration and design development
Lack of plugins and additional sources such as logos
I had to find extra stuff online, could have been just a plagin
Intuitive layout, Easy to use and to share with the team.
Isn't about Invision properly, but is sad to have only one project to work at a time for free.
As a graphic designer, was complicated to show/explain and simulate internet projects, specially with the developer team. With InVision Is Easy to preview every click or move. The all team collaborate together.
I like that Invision has made it easier for my company to share wireframe & mockup prototypes with our clients. This tool allows us to show the client the user experience without having to flesh out the whole site in development.
I really wish that Invision had an Adobe illustrator and Adobe XD integration.
Before we had Invision we never had a great way to share our mockups to the client. We would have to save out all of the pages into a PDF which made it a nightmare to show the client the full user experience.
The best part about InVision is the capability of creating interactive prototypes using designs imported and synced from the designs application Sketch. It makes organizing and making prototypes interactive with ease.
InVision does require the cache and internet history to be cleared quite frequently in order for prototypes and interactivity to load and function correctly.
Collaboration with other designers to gain more insight into other opinions of how to best execute our vision.
InVision makes it so simple for a designer to sync your mock-up screens with sketch, and creating the prototype is easy and fun. You simply just create hovers and select how you want the prototype to behave from drop down menus. You can also share with your team and have them comment and edit as well.
There are limitations in Invisin, for example, I can not create a carousel side-swipe feature.
How users interact with products
I love that I can provide transparency throughout the org.
I wish I could share inspect without having to link it in a jira ticket.
We have learned to find holes or issues faster by prototyping in invision.
When coupled with Sketch using the Craft plugin, making hi-fi prototypes is easier than ever! Even without the plugin, you can make hotspots right in your browser on Invision.
I dislike the amount of transition options for interactions but what is there is enough for a quick mock up.
Invision allows me to share my vision with stakeholders rather than presenting static screens, I can show the whole flow as it would exist in the real world!
