### "SketchWow - Really WOW!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

What a fantastic program and very easy to use. With the included templates or even built from scratch you can quickly tell your story in a visual format that is easy to read and appealing to your audience. Super easy to generate quick visuals to use in reports, articles and web content.

Pros

Easy to use.Quickly create graphicsQuick loading program. No extra features that just confuse you and you never use.

Cons

Only issue is the latest releases did not work in Windows 7. Maybe this is actually pro as it forced me to upgrade.

### "A necessity for presentations but I use it for lots of other things"

October 18, 2023

5.0

The team at SketchWow is awesome to work with and very community-based. I bought Pro more to support the company than for the extra features just because 1) it was cheap and 2) they responded to my questions quickly and with a great interest in my thoughts.

Pros

Support and updates are amazing. I am a Pro user and really like the additional templates and icons but really a Standard license is plenty to make any infographic or chart get a lot more attention. Almost inevitably I get Clap emoji's when I present anything done in SketchWow. It's super quick to use so I even have started using it to take notes in meetings because it lets me draw and add reminders via graphics. Connecting boxes and drawing arrows is absolutely superior to anything else out there with LOTS of options for rounding, hand-drawn effects, straight lines, etc.

Cons

They have to do a little more with text, like bulleted lists and other similar alignment and formatting things especially as they move more into a Presentation-based program. And we can't have enough icons so that's big.

Reason for choosing SketchWow

They had a lifetime license.

### "SketchWow is Well Worth the Small Investment"

October 20, 2023

5.0

SketchWow has allowed me to get my ideas out easily and present them to others. I am very happy with the results, quality, and ease of use of the product.

Pros

I love how easy SketchWow is to use and build presentations, diagrams, and workflows.

Cons

I know that SketchWow is meant to be different and more about “sketch”ing, but it would be nice to have some options for more refined icons. However, they make it easy to add them.

### "Best kept secret for creating diagrams"

October 25, 2023

5.0

I find I can better communicate big ideas with colleagues, and the ratio of time given to developing diagrams to explain ideas has been considerably lessened.

Pros

The drag and drop process, combined with the ease of matching colours and creating pathway flows most stand out to me. I used to spend hours in PowerPoint trying to make my diagrams 'come to life'. Now I can produce brilliant diagrams in no time at all.

Cons

Over time there have been a few features (such as dynamic alignment of objects), but more often than not, these issues are sorted in subsequent updates, so bravo for listening to and responding to feedback.

### "More Interesting to Present than LucidChart"

October 26, 2023

4.0

Pros

I love the variety of styling options available for the elements. It's really easy to use, and requires far less visual adjustments to make it presentation ready.

Cons

Not really a downside to anything that exists in SketchWow - what's there is really good. But more a feature that would make SketchWow stand out that much more: True infographic building, using datasets from spreadsheets (or even fields to input custom data to generate accurate charts like Plotly, but a less complex version)

### "Creative work flow"

October 25, 2023

5.0

I have fun when using Sketchwow. I often have a bunch of partially finished designs that I sometimes forget about or go back later and play around. I can just play and see what shows up for me.

Pros

The ability to build various workflows and then pull them into the main design. I am not a linear thinker so my ideas come in little bunches. I can create little designs and then move them over to see if they fit in somewhere or redo them.

Cons

No negative comments at this time. How with more use I may see some other needs.

### "Easy-Peasy Graphics... and I Can't Draw!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

For the value, just get it.

Pros

I always wondered how other marketers had such amazing graphics — in the email, on a website, on a video. I thought they probably bought it from a professional artist.But, when I found out about SketchWow a few years ago, I was able to make amazing graphics for my email, my videos, my website, and social media... ...and others were asking me, "Hey! Who's YOUR graphic artist? I want to hire him!" 😉

Cons

Seriously, I don't have any complaints. If I needed some help, the Support replied within a day or less.

### "Perfect to bring across ideas and concepts"

October 24, 2023

5.0

I frequently need to "sell" concepts and ideas internally to the C-level, and the sketches you can draw with SketchWow help bring across the idea !You have the idea, and SketchWow supports you to make the idea/concept look flashy and fresh - even animated.Great ways to get attention and bring across the message !

Pros

\+ Completely free in designing, starting on a white sheet+ Support and ideas from templates+ Many styles to make shapes look like hand drawn ... and much nicer than I would by hand ... ;-)+ "Endless" canvas, expandable if needed

Cons

\- Some shapes are a little difficult to find --> support helped well and quickly

Reason for choosing SketchWow

More "freestyle" possibilities and more playfulFresher looking sketchesMany more hand drawn options over competitive products

October 26, 2023

5.0

I think the company is great at listening to customers and the product is very simple yet valuable.

Pros

I love the ease of use and the power of graphically explaining ideas through the templates. and the great user interface.

Cons

More icons and images would be great, but then I guess that is to be expected.

### "Quick and fast sketch for flawcahrting or diagrams"

October 20, 2023

5.0

I like it, its quick and easy way to mimic a dynamic flowchart or diagram. Customers and clients like it too. It looks professional without spending too much time on it.

Pros

I liked the animations aspect the best. It allows animated/gif like exports of dynamic arrows for flowcharts. This when exported and embedded makes i a lot more eye catching than a simple picture that is not moving.

Cons

Its good, and there are continuously added templates and icons. But one cant help noticing that competitors like Canva has a lot more templates that can be used off the shelf.

### "Loving it"

October 18, 2023

5.0

I love it, I design some of my diagrams there, mostly with initial ideas, also whiteboarding things during meetings and that skecth style of diagrams is helping us to understand that we're in initial phases of design.

Pros

The sketch style of my diagrams is making them really appealing. People is always asking how I did them.

Cons

You have to wait for versions to get new icons. Good library of icons, though.Comic Sans MS is default font :/ Other fonts are great

October 25, 2023

SketchWow help me communicate my ideas in a fun, effective and visual way. Animating my work is a game changer. I can create fun ideas to brainstorm with my co workers or I can create more corporate looking visuals to share in a presentation.

Pros

Drag & Drop prebuilt shapes, Add arrows & speech bubbles and then make it pop with animation and speech bubbles. One can also install it on multiple computers which is very useful when you are at home and quickly need to brainstorm. The team keeps updating SketchWow so it is always current with added new features. Awesome, really!

### "SketchWow is my goto Tool for Illustration"

October 27, 2023

5.0

I really enjoy using this product to create drawings that I put into my presentations, technical papers, and things I give my students.

Pros

I can create drawings for white papers, teaching, and ppt presentations easily and it looks like they are hand-drawn, but neat.

Cons

I have problems selecting things that are on top of other things, and I really could use the ability to creat my own shape libraries.

Cons

To have the ability to search for an icon within the app as Miro doesTo have more Shapes (hatch)In People icons it would be nice if we can choose a skin colorLike Canvas and Doodly have, to have a personal library within the app so the custom images I had imported or created will be available for a future use.

### "Transforming Ideas into Engaging Visuals with SketchWow"

October 25, 2023

5.0

As someone who relies heavily on visual presentations for my business, SketchWow has been a game changer. The hand-drawn aesthetics coupled with the animations breathe life into my presentations and infographics, making them more engaging. The library of pre-made shapes and templates speeds up my workflow, while the drag-and-drop functionality keeps it simple yet effective. With SketchWow, not only am I able to convey my ideas more effectively, but I also enjoy the creative process along the way.

Pros

Engaging hand-drawn aesthetics and animations. Library of pre-made shapes and templates. Drag-and-drop functionality. Regular software updates based on user feedback. Ability to export in various formats (jpg, png, pdf, animated gif).

Cons

The whimsical style might not suit formal or corporate settings, but I happen to love it. May require some time to explore and utilize all features.

October 20, 2023

SketchWow is a great piece of software to use and it is fun to use also. It sparks your creativity and sets you apart from the competition because the drawings are really compelling and impactful.

Pros

There is a lot of diagramming software but SketchWow enables you to quickly create like hand drawn diagrams that have a lot more impact than the standard ones.Also the peoples section is great for using stick figures with nice expressions. It helps you to to tell and illustrate the story in a compelling way. The hand drawn feature is just amazing.

Cons

The interface can be improved and the number of categories and individual drawings can be expanded.

October 18, 2023

5.0

Pros

SketchWow makes actions incredibly easy, that previously would have taken hours in Adobe. It is easy to use and the company is very supportive.

Cons

Several features would have been very helpful early on in my use. However, the recent release has resolved those issues.

### "A Game Changer"

November 27, 2023

5.0

I was skeptical. Saw it advertised on Facebook (I think). Almost didn't buy it as I thought at this price it surely wouldn't be that good. Wow (no pun intended), I was wrong. This has been a game changer in terms of being able to create great quality and fun graphics to include in our workbooks, powerpoints, handouts, you name it. Totally grateful to the SketchWow team for this wonderful tool.

Pros

Easy to use and produces great results. I like the ability to easily switch from producing fun and playful graphics to a more serious and professional look.

Cons

There really isn't anything that comes to mind. It isn't perfect but \[sensitive content hidden\] and the team are updating it all the time. It just keeps getting better and better.

### "One of the best presentation tools I've used"

October 20, 2023

5.0

With SketchWow it's much easier to collaborate clients on how their products should be presented. By first sketching out a layout turn around time is shortened, revisions are less and the client is much happier. It's a win-win for everyone.

Pros

SketchWow is so easy to use. It's very intuitive and the elements offered include a wide variety. I really like the scribbles. They offer a nice touch to the more boring aspects of presenting. I also like being able to present during a conference make any necessary changes, then send the final off to the team to render a finished product.

Cons

I've not found any significant downside to SketchWow. The development team works hard to provide support and updates.
