### "An amazingly versatile tool that helps provide visual clarity in many otherwise complex situations"

October 19, 2023

5.0

Having used an endless number of mind-mapping and process design tools, many of which were excellent in themselves, Sketchwow is invariably first to mind when looking to get my thoughts "down on paper" so to speak. It's flexible enough to allow for more formal business-style layouts and outputs, but equally good at producing more casual and 'friendly' presentations too. It's also very good for laying out otherwise unstructured thoughts and ideas which some of the more rigid apps don't handle too well.

Pros

Drag-and-drop simplicity when brainstorming new concepts and ideas is helped by the clean and speedy UI/UX ..... so simple to use.

Cons

It's too addictive - easy to spend too much time playing around and fine-tuning your designs!!

### "All you need is talent and a bit of time"

October 25, 2023

4.0

It's wonderful, with a "but" and that but is: to get the best out of Sketchwow you need some visual skill and talent. But if you spend some time, you could get pretty good at basic mechanical drawing in a style that doesn't look run-of-the-mill

Pros

It does what it says: creates graphics that look like sketches, and it does that really easily and intuitively. The controls allow a good amount of creative control, and - in the style of way more expensive drawing products - bonded lines stick with shapes as those shapes are moved around.

Cons

I could not get my self out of "Present" mode, which assumed that I wanted to present on my screen 1 when I was using the program on screen 2. That seems like a trivial thing, but the help doesn't tell you how to get out of present mode. My first experience was that being in presentation mode tied up my main laptop screen, and nothing I did in my panic made things better or got me out. The help process took me to a web page, which would not have worked on a plane or when I was untethered. And that page didn't tell me how to escape either. I think the presentation problem might be a bug peculiar to using dual screens because, on retesting, when I first went into present, the escape key \*did\* terminate present mode. But after a but of page changing and screen hopping, escape no longer worked. Worse: when I dragged the main screen behind the presentation screen, I lost access to the main screen completely. So... couldn't get out of Sketchwow without crashing it. Oh, dear.How about "settings" so that the screen on which present mode works can be set?Bug report: I think I trapped it. If you go into present mode on a two-screen setup, then click Page 2 on the design screen, THEN click Present, the Presentation Screen changes to page 2. But after that Esc does not terminate Present mode. But further testing suggests it's simpler: if you click "present" a second time while in presentation mode, you can't exit present.

Reason for choosing SketchWow

I haven't switched to Sketchwow as the main tool, and I probably won't. But it has got me out of a few corners already, like quickly sizing and editing mug shots into a gallery.All I need here is talent!

### "Mental Imagery brought to life"

October 20, 2023

5.0

Workflow design and logic charts are essential to our business process and Sketch Wow makes designing them much easier than anything I have previously used.

Pros

Sketch Wow makes it easy to actually make a mental images appear in realtime so that others can view, review and help clarify them into finished projects. The elegance and simplicity of the interface controls nearly erase any interference with or interruption of the work flow.

Cons

There are not any problems that I have run into at this point which have not been easily resolved with a little research.

### "A great app for developing images for presentations "

October 20, 2023

5.0

No more generic clip art or icons (make your own icons for PowerPoint with ease. Easy to use and great results that step your presentation up a notch.

Pros

From the off this app was a great help in developing images to build into PowerPoint presentations but since the functionality that allows more direct “copy and paste” things have got so much easier to use.If you are a developer of training materials this product can save you hours almost immediately. Easy to use and professional results without being a graphic designer. What’s not to love.

Cons

Currently difficult to adjust standard shapes - it would be great to be able to select nodes and move them independently of each other.

### "SketchWow Review"

October 20, 2023

5.0

I have enjoyed the product and it has saved me time and energy explaining complex topics.

Pros

Templates and other premade icons support our educational needs.

Cons

It is a slightly tricky learning curve, but if you watch the videos, that should not be a problem.

### "Time-saving, affordable tool for creating eye-catching graphics"

October 18, 2023

5.0

SketchWow is an inexpensive program that lets me quickly create graphics to illustrate points and create infographics. I highly recommend it.

Pros

As a small business owner, SketchWow is one of my all-time favorite programs. It lets me quickly create professional-looking graphics for websites and presentations even though I'm don't have any artistic skills. It comes with numerous pre-drawn templates for a variety of situations. I've used them to create attractive infographics and PowerPoint presentations. I like the fact the tempates are easily customizable, and if you don't want to use an existing template, you can create your own design. The program comes with hundreds of pre-drawn icons such as shapes, arrows, speech bubbles, and much more.

Cons

The menu structure could be improved. It's a little difficult sometimes to locate things you want to use. But that said, I also have to note that I never bothered to look at the tutorials available. I just opened the program and started using it.

Reason for choosing SketchWow

I wanted an easy way to create designs that were hard for me to create as a non-artist. I also wanted a way to get graphic elements like arrows, boxes, sign shapes, etc as needed without having to use up an image credits to download them.

### "Ease of use for company processes"

October 23, 2023

5.0

I'm very happy with SketchWow and it's been nothing but a positive experience from day one.

Pros

How easy it is to use and create the flowcharts

Cons

Not an issue with SketchWow per se, my company has a strict download policy so getting it downloaded on my work computer was a pain...but more from the IT permission side which was internal at my office.

### "Why SketchWow Wows Me"

October 20, 2023

5.0

SketchWow has become my "go-to" application for creating infographics and content for Powerpoint slides, Trifold brochures, posters, flyers... You name it.My next project is to create a fun business card.SketchWow is different from the crowd. I love it.And, the SketchWow team ane constantly adding cool new features and add-ins.

Pros

I have Young Onset Dementia and I write informative information about my journey.SketchWow is a dream to use. The interface is intuitive, yet powerful. I have all of the tools I need to create fun and compelling copy right at my fingertips, and some of the options are really powerful and allow me to be extra-creative.

Cons

Honestly? What's not to like?I'd like to see some extra sketch graphics categories that arent so business-orientated.There is a whole world of people like me out here that produce infographics for a variety of charities and community projects, and we still sometimes struggle to find suitable visual elements to illustrate our ideas.

### "Feel like a workflow genius"

October 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially in this diverse, remote world. Workflows are worth their weight in gold. There are people out there who learn functionality in their sleep and create dazzling presentations effortlessly. I am not that person. I have been green with envy but was beyond frustrated with other software and did not have the time to commit to extensive training. Sketchwow enables me to create eye-catching workflows and diagrams, making it seem like I spent hours working on a presentation.

Cons

There is a new learning curve with all software. I wish they had more video tutorials. However, their support team is the best and answered (not a generic response) my questions the same day with step-by-step instructions.

### "SketechWow is Wow!"

October 18, 2023

5.0

I wanted to share the concepts with my audience in a visually appealing way. This fits the bill perfectly. The customer service is very responsive. They're always asking what else we need so they can build in additional features. Just a great company. I'm so glad I have it.

Pros

I really like that this is a much more user-friendly option for whiteboard videos which I really wanted to utilize. I've purchased other software in the past and simply couldn't get them going. They were a waste of money and far too complicated for me to easily learn. This is so easy and it's really rich with options.

Cons

Hmmm...Hard to say what I like least. They continually think up features that we want and update the product free of charge. Love that!

Reason for choosing SketchWow

Illustrator is far too hard to learn and too time consuming and complicated. SketchWow is much easier.

### "Far from stagnate"

October 25, 2023

5.0

The SketchWow team are constantly and happily adding new and extended features. Even thought the templates offer quick and easy solutions, the toolkit used well allows for unique and meaningful styles.

Pros

Light-hearted and friendly diagrams and presentations. This makes training and presentations more acceptable and presentable to those with a sense of humor and a desire to communicate with skill and thoughtfulness.

Cons

It is being used for spammy social media ads. The well-designed templates are used so they are obviously created using SketchWow. The downside of this in my opinion is that it is so quick and easy to use that the same templates appear everywhere. Another con is that some too serious business types do not appreciate the unique and personal messages that are possible.

### "Awesome"

October 18, 2023

5.0

Pros

It is crazy easy to use once you've grasped the basics (it has its own way of processing things, it takes a little experimenting at first but it's over pretty quickly) and it provides you with a huge number of possibilites in terms of icons, drawings, shapes etc.It also provides you with a lot of pre-made templates, which are particularly useful for people like me who are the opposite of creativity.I've been using it for my activities as a trainer/teacher, and although I didn't need to use exceedingly advanced features it certainly helped me a lot when needing to create schemes and flowcharts that were both easy to read and pleasant to the eye.Also, it costs so little I can't think of anyone who might not want to buy it AND updates are both constantly delivered and contain actually useful functions/items. Huge, huge work done by the creator, props to the team!

Cons

The only issue I have found to date, is it is not actually integrated with Powerpoint so if you want to put one or more elements on a slide you need to export the whole page as a picture, which is a bit of a bummer if you only want a few elements. Though it may just be me, I only use SketchWow every once in a while so I would not say I'm actually good at it.Other than that, I can't think of any real issue with it.

### "Great for diagramming and visual explanations"

October 26, 2023

5.0

I really enjoy this software. It pairs really well with my Wacom tablet for drawing and diagramming ofr my classes.

Pros

I like that I can get all of he features of monthly subscription software but only paying one price. I also really like that the software keeps getting updated and getting better and better.

Cons

I want to be able to create my own little gifs or ibjects to use in future sketches. This would be especially useful if I didn't really like the built ins, but I didn't want to have to create them from scratch. I also want to be able to create my own templates to make future sketches quicker to create.

Reason for choosing SketchWow

It provided more while costing less. It is very intuitive to use. It is very customizable.

### "SketchWow really wows my audience."

October 18, 2023

4.0

Somehow I not only feel like a user of a product, but as a fan of a movement. The tone of voice of all the interactions with the people behind SketchWow is great and you really feel like you want to help them along. I hope to remain part of the SketchWow 'movement' for a long time ;-)

Pros

SketchWow really enables me to create more personalized presentation material, that really wows my audiences. I have received the question "did you draw these diagrams by hand" so often and people are always surprised to hear that there is such a mature and great tool as SketchWow to help with that.

Cons

The only thing in my opinion that might need some improving is the design of the user interface. Not the functionality, but the design. I would appreciate it if the user interface resembles the way SketchWow deals with diagramming, i.e. with a bit more fun!

### "Great for Students"

October 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

SketchWow is extremely easy to use. I learned about sketch-noting when trying to figure out studying methods for pharmacy school, but I am not always the most artistic and I type way faster than I write. SketchWow allows me to be artistic and creative with my notes and organize effectively while making sure that they are efficient and readable. I love that it was a one time fee versus a lot of other platforms that want a monthly subscription to use their service (being a college student means having limited funds)!

Cons

There have been a few issues of running some software on my laptop that causes SketchWow to not work properly until I uninstall and re-install the product. However, customer service is always very helpful and quick to respond!

### "One of my favorite pieces of software!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

I've introduced several people at work to SketchWow and we're actually using it in our HR dept to create flyers, etc. It's taken postings that people used to walk right by and ignore and made them eye catching and attention grabbing. We've had people comment about how much better they look than the ones that had been created previously.

Pros

SketchWow is incredibly easy to use and makes creating fun, whether it's for diagramming, creating visual workflows, or even flyers, etc. Price point, even after upgrading is well worth it.

Cons

I'm really trying to think of something I dislike or that needs improvement and I'm at a loss. I think the software is brilliant. My one dream would be to see this as a mobile app so I could design on my iPad. I think this software with a touch interface like that would be game changing!

Cons

Pros

The product is incredibly user friendly allowing the teams to get up and running without any delay. We love having creative options as we create discussion diagrams and workflows for our teams and clients, and standing out from the crowd of "regular corporate visuals." Showing our personality is part of our brands and makes what could be less exciting meetings and decisions into more intriguing and creative conversations. The diagrams themselves spark creativity.

Cons

We would like to see more visuals to choose from so that we can present even more variety to our clients in our presentations and strategic displays.

We use this to make graphics that look different than our competitors' graphics, and to make them look more approachable for teens and young adults. It works perfectly for that.
