Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome Software" October 26, 2023 5.0 It's been great so far. Pros SketchWow is awesome. As someone who has ZERO graphic design or artistic skills, SW makes it so easy to make really great looking diagrams, flowcharts and graphics. I really should be using a lot more often. I use it for social media posts, explainer graphics (roadmaps, etc.), and org chart. I love the fact that they keep rolling out new features - it's so awesome! Cons Only thing I initially didn't like (more just from not realizing it), is because it's a program saved on the computer and not in the cloud, I initially couldn't access my designs on my laptop that I created on my work computer and vice versa. However, easy fix was to just start saving the files in my google drive instead of on the computer and now I can load the latest design regardless of which computer I'm on. One future feature might be to have a cloud backup storage like Descript so while the files are saved locally, they're also saved in the cloud and easily retrievable on any device.

SAP BASIS E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SketchWow is Awesome" October 20, 2023 5.0 I can create awesome pdfs and image to help my students understand IT concepts Pros The easy interfaces, graphic handwriting style, fonts and export format options Cons Better integration with table pencil.I have a bamboo pencil and it do not works very well with sketchwow Review Source CS Chris S. Marketing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect name for perfect product" October 25, 2023 4.0 I'm not a designer, but I'm a visual thinker. Sketch wow does help me with expressing myself visually without the need of learning difficult programs. Pros I like the simplicity and the large library of elements that are easy to search.I like the large amount of templates to get inspired. Cons There's always a thin balance between missing functionality and keeping the program simple.But in my current version (pro 2.1.5) editing text is still a little cumbersome.Fore example: To edit a text you have to double click. When you start typing and make mistake, you can't undo, you have to go out of edit mode, undo and then go into edit mode again.And I miss the option to save designs as templatesAnd to have standard branding setup. ( I want to use own standard colouring setup and fonts)But hey, this are minor details. And I'm sure it will be fixed soon. Review Source BM Betty M. CEO Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Variety without complexity" October 20, 2023 5.0 I use SketchWow to create my workflows, explain tunnels or explain IT complexities to my clients who need simplicity. I love SketchWow because not only does it allow me to create my diagrams and workflows quickly, but it's also fun to use. Pros SketchWow is a tool that really impressed me with its functionality and simplicity. From the first time I used it, I noticed the diversity of the tools available while keeping it simple to use. Cons There's not much I didn't like, and as usual, we always want more, so I'll say more models. Reason for choosing SketchWow I chose Sketchwow for its simplicity, its price and because I could easily make complex things simple while keeping them fun. Review Source HT HootyApps T. Design Team Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to create workflow diagrams" October 25, 2023 5.0 A happy user that purchased Sketchwow during its launch! Pros Love the whiteboard feature and the installation on the Mac M1 chip for speed. Cons No pain points to share, happy with the continuous upgrades. Review Source CR Christian R. C3PO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love the ease of use" October 20, 2023 5.0 Pros Really love the ease of use, the templates are so helpful to get started with. Has meant I haven't gone back to Visio and our team have a really lower barrier to entry to use the tool. Cons I'd like to see it easier to import and store my own templates or icons Alternatives considered [Lucidchart](https://www.capterra.com/p/146136/Lucidchart/) Switched from [Visio](https://www.capterra.com/p/201133/Visio/) It can take too long to train staff on Visio and we needed something simple to use and easy to share around the team. Review Source LG Laura G. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Easy Button" October 20, 2023 5.0 My experience with SketchWow has been great. I love the updates to the platform that keep making it better and better to be able to help my clients/students learn and retain what they learn through these visual graphics. Pros I love how easy it is to use SketchWow. It truly is the Easy Button when creating visual graphics to help my Success School Holistic Entrepreneurs learn better. It helps me create things much faster and is very visually appealing to my students. Cons I don't have any cons regarding SketchWow however I would suggest having an online community with other SketchWow users so we can share what we create as well as brainstorm solutions. Review Source IC Ivan C. CEO/Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why use something that may or may not work?" October 19, 2023 5.0 SketchWow is my go to software when it comes to creating personalized slides. Best in the business in my opinion. Pros SketchWow looks impressive especially if you're into personalization. I like it because just playing with it an hour made all the difference in the world. Now I understand how to create my own pptx slides, and I use them in presentations all the time. This I consider one of the best investments I've ever made is something that is going to make me money. People ask me all the time, "How do you do all that cool stuff? Tell me more." Cons It's not their fault, but I could use a lot more templates from other users because their templates are great. I just like more diversity, but trust me, if you're not a creative type of person like I am, you could use their templates and wow almost anyone. Reason for choosing SketchWow That's easy. It's simple. It works. Anyone can do it. Review Source RM Roni M. Trainer, Coach, & Neurolinguist Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Life changing" October 19, 2023 5.0 I love it, it helps me market my business, create graphics for presentations, and graphics for posters I can print out for my office. Pros Easy, diverse templates, very efficient in exporting, the whiteboard can be expanded as much possible. Cons Regarding the background templates, I wish there were more options.Not sure if this is a con or something I missed, but I would love it if there is an export to PowerPoint option. Review Source LD Lee D. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Features and templates are added regularly making for easy diagrams" October 20, 2023 5.0 Pros The loads of templates available are my favorite. There's something for every project, and I love the flexibility it offers to tweak and make everything uniquely mine. But the real winner for me is how it makes being creative so easy. I used to struggle with bringing my ideas to life, but with SketchWow, it’s easy and fast. Cons I wish there was a mobile app but it's not a deal breaker. Review Source MR Marcio R. director Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SketchWow is the right choice!" October 19, 2023 4.0 I'm testing this tool mainly to create courses. SketchWow is easy to use, intuitive, offers a wealth of customization options and fast prototyping. Pros SketchWow is an innovative tool that simplifies the creation and visualization of concepts, plans, workflows, graphics and processes. Its ease of use, customization, collaboration capabilities, and resource savings make it an invaluable asset for businesses of all sizes. If you want to boost your business, communicate your ideas with clarity and impact, and save time and money, SketchWow is the right choice. This revolutionary tool is, without a doubt, a valuable ally for any entrepreneur or professional looking for success. Cons I don't see any problems, but more animation features could be added in the Pro version! Review Source DH Don H. Owner/CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source EI Erik I. PO Dir. Customer Experience and Metrics E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source CN Chad N. Product Manager Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source CJ Colin J. Learning Design Director Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Reason for choosing SketchWow n/a Review Source AG Alexander G. CEO Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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) Review Source RM Richard M. Divorce Optimist Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source BT Bryan T. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source PK Pierre K. Chief Business Development Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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 Review Source SF Sean F. Managing Director Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Business Productivity Enabler" 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source ER Eric R. Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome product!" October 20, 2023 5.0 I use it to make complex ideas understandable and fun. Pros I use constantly to improve our client communication and to make complex concepts understandable for lay people. Cons Nothing. It's damn close to perfect. I love it. Reason for choosing SketchWow Price and ease of use Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) Better output, more fun, easier to use Review Source Jhonny L. Technical Architect Program Development Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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 Review Source AN Adelle N. Business Owner Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great find" October 25, 2023 5.0 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.

President Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Visio](https://www.capterra.com/p/201133/Visio/) For these type of dwgs I really like the hand-drawn look.
