February 11, 2025

5.0

Pros

User-Friendly Interface: SketchWow is known for its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, making it accessible even for those without design experience.

I haven’t spent enough time on Sketchwow to know all of the great things it can do, but I’m looking forward to digging in to expand my student’s experience.

Pros

The AI capabilities. I can enter any topic and it will create any type of chart or presentation I like.

Cons

Not as user friendly as I need. Partially my fault because I haven’t spent much time in the how to section

### "All the fun of sketching without the need for artistic talent! "

February 11, 2025

4.0

I’ve enjoyed sketch wow. It combines my love of sketch noting with the ability to animate in a fun way.

Pros

I’m a keen sketch noter, and sometimes I prefer to be able to digitise my ideas without having to sketch them myself.

Cons

Limited icons are available. It would be good to cover basic sketch noting iconography.

### "SketchWOW makes it easier for me to share my thoughts with others"

October 19, 2023

5.0

I am loving everything they do. They bring regular updates, and each one makes the product massively better to use. The choice of GFX elements also grows at a great rate. Note: I purchased the Pro version, which I think ships with more GFX resources than the standard one, which justifies the price difference alone.

Pros

Part of my job is to create new process workflows, or to analyze existing ones and improve them. Most customers find it boring to tell them what they are doing 'wrong' in their own workflows, but by using the beautiful graphics resources provided by SketchWOW, I have yet to see someone unhappy. They all appear much more interested and engaged while we discuss the issues and plans, and very often I get asked how I created these drawings. SketchWOW simply transforms the way I talk about boring stuff!

Cons

SketchWOW drawing boards sizes are pixel-based, and font sizes are relative (meaning, if I draw a shape and type some 24px text inside, then increase the shape dimensions, font size will increase proportionally). When I create workflow diagrams, I can't always get the component shapes and sizes right from the get go — but when I then shuffle them around and resize them, I have to then go back and change my font sizes everywhere to keep them consistent across components. Also, sometimes when a drawing becomes more complex, PDF exports open snd redraw very slowly when viewed in Adobe Reader.

### "SketchWow: Create Visually Engaging and Informative Diagrams in Minutes"

October 21, 2023

5.0

Overall, great experience with SketchWow. I love the hand-drawn look, the ease of use, and the constant development and updates. I warmly recommend it to anyone needing to create visually engaging diagrams.

Pros

Fresh and engaging, hand-drawn look: SketchWow diagrams have a unique hand-drawn look that makes them stand out from traditional diagrams. This can be especially effective for capturing people's attention and communicating complex ideas in a clear and concise way.Easy to use: SketchWow has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for anyone to create diagrams, even if they have no prior design experience. The software includes a library of pre-made shapes and templates, as well as a variety of customization options.Constant development and updates: \[sensitive content hidden\] is constantly developing and updating SketchWow, adding new features and improvements based on user feedback. This shows that he is committed to making SketchWow the best diagram software possible.Listens to user feedback: \[sensitive content hidden\] is always listening to user feedback and implementing new features and improvements based on those suggestions. This shows that he is committed to making SketchWow a product that meets the needs of his users.

Cons

None really... The concept is to use a tool that provides designs with hand drawn look. So some people many think it should be more like certain competitors, but in fact what make this software so unique is that it sticks to this concept and it is really good in my point of view.In addition, everything I wished was implemented in the updates after providing feedback to Jason.

### "Sketchwow? More like CONTENT WOW!"

October 21, 2023

5.0

I LOVE SKETCHWOW. My content pops and has made me unique among my peers. I honestly don't use it enough. I have created videos, social media images, elements for other content and website/blog images.

Pros

What I love most about Sketchwow is that FINALLY I can create fast content to explain important concepts to my clients and communities that does not look like the typical boring business graphics. Why is this important? My business is not the typical boring business, and finding a tool that was easy to use but also fits my brand was impossible to find because it didn't exist,

Cons

I've been a user since very early, so there are some places in the app where things don't work as well as they should, and it's frustrating. Selecting and moving objects, for example. I can say that with each update the functionality gets better and better, so I'm expecting a smooth and seamless experience in no time.

### "An application that offers a WOW effect for your customers."

October 28, 2023

5.0

Starting a new role as an information systems architect in my organization, I quickly found that the tools for diagramming were hard to learn, you're always fighting to align arrows on icons and often the icons move when you change a little thing. What's more, the visual rendering is relatively boring to watch. I wasn't actively looking for a new product, but one day, a SketchWow ad appeared on Facebook and I went to check out the site. Well, at first I tried to find out whether it was web-based or not, but it's an application that you install on your PC. I had in mind to edit my schematics with a tablet and a pencil, but I realized that wasn't going to be the case. I wrote to support and was told it would come for tablet support... So I said to myself, there's hope! I evaluated the price and found that the risk of a trial was not very high, and on top of that, you can get a refund. In the end, I've had the product for about 1 year and I wouldn't do without it. I love the models proposed by the application, the visuals and the parameterization offered by SketchWow are mind-blowing, and I haven't found any competitor that comes close, even though it's not produced by a big-name firm.I recommend using SketchWow - give it some love! :)

Pros

Sketchwow can save you a lot of time with a large variety of templates. When you hate to start with a white paper sheet, Sketchwow can help you with a layout.Sketchwow's visual rendering is really cool.Easy to use and really customizableLove the fonts availlable in the applicationFree software updatePurchase with a 30-Day moneyback guarantee if you don't like it, they will refund you.

Cons

This would be cool that SketckWow had a web and tablet version too.

### "A tool that I don't want to miss. Best Value for Money."

October 20, 2023

5.0

I love how simple and flexible it is to use. I use it on nearly on a daily basis to improve my PPT presentations and make them more engaging. You can even use it to graphically illustrate complex topics in a fun way. And even if you don't PPT you can even us SketchWow directly as a presentation software, thanks to the implemented presenter mode. I simply love it.

Pros

SketchWOW is so simple and intuitive to use and even allows for importing of own graphics. The customer support in terms of updates and implementation of requested features is unbeatable.

Cons

Believe it or not... there is nothing to not like about the Software. It is simply gorgeous.

### "SketchWow is a valuable tool for us."

October 31, 2023

5.0

Initially, I was skeptical that SketchWow would bring the kind of value I was hoping for, but it has exceeded my expectations again and again over time.

Pros

SketchWow gives us the ability to produce attention grabbing visuals from handwritten to formal. There is huge time-savings over creating these visuals from scratch.

Cons

This isn't so much a con or dislike - more of a feature request. We would love to be able to export in an editable version (separate assets or layers). Many of our visuals end up being added to slide decks, but aren't editable. This would be incredibly helpful as many of our process visuals are iterative.

Reason for choosing SketchWow

The templates, included assets, and ease of use make designing great visuals accessible for non-designers in our company.

### "Intuitive Design, Frequent Adds/Updates, Sweet-Spot Aesthetic"

October 18, 2023

5.0

I saw SketchWow's ad in my facebook feed and I really liked the 'sketch' aesthetic. As an advisor, I need to communicate concepts and frameworks to my clients. They are over the whole low-effort powerpoint thing, but are intimidated when diagrams are too nice. So the sketch aesthetic allows them to feel comfortable with new things while looking nice. It's hard to make something 'casually look good' and I can do it pretty quickly using SketchWow.

Pros

The functionality is pretty intuitive - vertical navigation on the left, typical controls for right click, select, all that. A pretty flat learning curve. But the best thing these folks keep doing is 1) adding more templates and 2) adding more to the library. I can import svgs, pngs, all that, which is great, but it's just easier when there's already an asset there that's already in line with the aesthetic. Plus, it's easy to stay in touch with them. \[sensitive content hidden\] sends out update emails and they're one of the only emails I read from my product subscriptions because there are always new goodies that come with them. These folks churn out updates to the software and libraries. It's awesome.

Cons

Is this an Affinity Designer? No, so there is some limited functionality because it's a basic tool that gets things done really quickly and well. Would it be dope to have more bells and whistles? Yes, of course. But honestly - for the price and the regular updates plus the communication from the \[sensitive content hidden\] - they have way overdelivered, and I love this.

### "One of the best utility on this Earth!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

SketchWow really wowed me in 360 Degrees. I can now think of endless possibilities of the variety of creations which can be made with it.I have created a jaw-dropping Flyers and Brochures in the past few months.Also i have made the Faculty Profile Visual which was truly unique and amazing!!! Our Higher authorities have praised a lot.Apart from this, I made a very elegant and powerful scientific presentation within no time. The whole credit goes to SketchWow only.... otherwise it would haven't been possible.In one word - it's just "WOW"... and I'm strongly recommending to everyone. Go for the Pro version to utilize it at its fullest.Finally, the support team is spectacular. You can expect their prompt replies... just within a few hours of your sent time.

Cons

As such, minute glitches are there... but they are negligible. And the incorporation of Mathematical Equations would be a crown to this Diamond!

### "AMAZING AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for visualization of complex information to maximize understanding."

October 18, 2023

5.0

I use this tool as a way to create more engaging, more casual-feel pictures to appeal to readers of my forthcoming book sequel that uses imagery to stir up ways to complete a introspection journal.I also use this tool during my day job as an Enterprise Architect where complex information systems can be less intimidating to understand when I use sketchwow to make engaging imagery for raising understanding.

Pros

Flexible, intuitive and well supported. This tool helps me to create imagery on the fly, it contains many great ways to fine tune the images, is very easy to learn how to use and provides great support for multiple graphics formats and customizations as well as support for people who want to learn and generate their own ideas. The cost is SO great too. I am very grateful that this company has still maintained and expanded the product while doing everything they can to manage costs. I use images in my book, presentations, wiki entries and absolutely love the ability to design animated workflows!!!

Cons

Navigation between different element groups can be a little clumsy to work with. It is easy to get used to though and I don't know of any suggestions I can make to improve the experience right now.Only other thing I would LOVE to see (and I'm sure my Sketchwow friends have heard this a zillion times) - when can we have a version for tablets (especially iPad)? ;-)

Reason for choosing SketchWow

Sketchwow has more of the casual "sketch" look and feel that is FAR easier to use with superior customization than other products attempting the same thing (e.g. draw features in microsoft powerpoint and one note).
