### "Intuitive and incredibly easy to use."

February 5, 2025

4.0

Excellent product for creating eye-catching presentations quickly and easily. Extremely intuitive to use and once you've had a quick tour and a play with the elements, you're off and running.

Pros

SketchWow is extremely intuitive and incredibly easy to use. There's nothing clunky about it. Its grab and resizing retains the integrity of all the elements in the original group - so easy to move things around the page. Colours are great, wide range of font selections and a solid set of shapes and elements to suit most purposes.

Cons

There are probably more variables in other programs - precision grids, custom elements etc - but SketchWow is such fun to use it's fairly easy to create workarounds for specific things.

### "My new go-to for engaging visuals! :)"

February 12, 2025

5.0

I love it! It's been great so far, and SketchWow has become my new go-to for engaging images and diagrams, and I love the option of hand-drawn effects and animation. Really great!

Pros

Simple and intuitive to use but gives me everything I need to create compelling and engaging visuals which really pop!

Cons

I would like to see more great templates added to the existing library.

### "Great Software pays for itself"

February 13, 2025

5.0

This has added a new level of coolness to my presentations and my webinars.

Pros

The various different premade templates and the animation features are top-notch. I love that I can create infographics and then turn them into a video .

Cons

Lack of AI templates. I would love to have the AI templates mirror the premade templates already found in the software. Also, It would be nice to be able to provide already made text that can auto placed into any of the templates whether it's AI or not. Many times I don't need AI to create the copy it's more about placement. More Icons would be nice or the ability to use an Ipad so I can draw the icons myself.

### "I love Sketchwow | Teylor A. Harris"

February 13, 2025

5.0

I really love what your team has done and the overall branding of your company. I love how you let the consumers feel like they’re on the journey with you as you guys grow and get better (I read all your emails).

Pros

The templates are phenomenal and very easy to use and edit.

Cons

I do still find the UX to be a bit ‘crunchy’ at times. The dragging could be a bit more seamless and I would love to eventually see sharing capabilities directly to other platforms. (But don’t rush the process, loyal user here)z

### "Fantastic for workflow geeks like me! "

February 4, 2025

5.0

Love it. I’m a total workflow geek, so this program has had me miss social gatherings because I just want to be at home and play with it, lol!

Pros

It’s intuitive, presentations can look anywhere from super polished, to funny and cartoon-like. And did I mention intuitive?

Cons

That I need and want all the icons and features and that costs a bit extra (I’m just missing one «tier» I think). Except from that, I bought the whole thing. I wish it truly was an app so I could use it on my iPad as well.

### "If you create graphics, you need SketchWow"

February 21, 2025

5.0

Love it! I enjoy how easy it is to use, the amount of templates, and all of the amazing updates. They overdeliver.

Pros

I LOVE creating images in SketchWow! I prefer the handwritten fonts in SketchWow over other design tools I use, and the ability to create arrows and icons with a handwritten look is just.too.easy!! Now with the pan-zoom-wow, animation effects, and AI - it's even easier to create really impressive graphics and presentations! I'm so glad I have SketchWow and the lifetime deal cannot be beat! I tell everyone I know who creates any sort of images that they need this.

Cons

The only thing I kind of wish SketchWow had was a browser-based editor or cloud feature so that I could work on images between my desktop and my laptop.

### "Easy to use Creative Design Tool for Explaining Issues"

February 11, 2025

5.0

It's good to have a cost-effective, easy-to-use tool that makes it easier to explain concepts and processes

Pros

Easy to operate, especially picking from the library of pre-made templates and then updating them to reflect your own situation.

Cons

There are so many possibilities and options; sometimes, you start a Sketch Wow Design and create the expected rather than utilise the creativity of the product. Maybe I need more training on the various features.

### "5 for 5 for visually engaging ai diagrams "

February 7, 2025

5.0

Very happy with this product. It’s rare that I purchase anything out side our vendor group. This product was worth it.

Pros

The ease of creating smetch diagrams, well it has never been easier. As someone who sells software with educational content as tbe front end of the funnel, our courses have been elevated in ways that can only be visualized. Having a visual to explain a complex topic is now as easy as copying the course content, pasting, pressing a generate button and getting hundreds of studio quality flow charts, info graphics and diagrams. Very well done product and I am glad I have the lifetime access version.

Cons

Downloading animations on a Mac is cumbersome.

### "My secret weapon"

January 31, 2025

4.0

I consider SketchWow to be my secret weapon. I use it to create unique images and animations that get people thinking, "How'd she make that?!"

Pros

What I like most about SketchWow is how creative you can get. It offers so many different elements, from icons to sketches, that you can then animate. The templates are also great places to start creating your own images and presentations. You can also use them to get inspiration for your own designs.

Cons

It can sometimes be awkward to use because the interface is not similar to other design tools that I use.

### "I need to remember to use SketchWow more often."

February 11, 2025

4.0

I probably don't use it often enough (maybe every 3-6 months) but when I do have a concept that I'm finding hard to get across in say a powerpoint presentation and I DO remember that I have SketchWow - it doesn't take too long to remember how to use it and come up with a really useful concept. Imagine how good I could be if I used it more often - LOL.

Pros

SketchWow is an awesome tool. Its pretty simple to use (even for a non-tech head like me). I love the drag and drop and animation features. The templates are really useful as well to get started.

Cons

For me it is a bit of a pain that my designs aren't stored in the SketchWow app and that I have to download them (maybe I missed something but I've never worked out how to save them to reaccess them easily). Also more starter templates would be awesome.

### "The Best Softwate I Have Ever Purchased"

February 5, 2025

5.0

The software is brilliant, and it has helped me be more creative. I love the different ways of presenting information.

Pros

I love how the sketches look, making my articles and presentations stand out as different from others. It is such an easy software to use; the AI element speeds you up and makes what could be work enjoyable. The best software I have bought

Cons

Very rarely, the AI versions can be challenging to edit, but other than that no issues with the software

### "Way to Overdeliver!!"

February 14, 2025

5.0

I always look forward to carving out time to use SketchWow to improve my worksheets and presentations.

Pros

What I like about SketchWow is that you can watch 1-2 how-to videos and then begin to experiment. The fact that you can look at templates to generate ideas for your own presentations is awesome. The well-thought-out workflow and features make creating and editing easy and fun. Some of my favorite features are the Hand Drawn Effects slider, the Scribbles and all the animations. Way to innovate and overdeliver!!

Cons

When compared to how difficult similar programs are to use, I have no complaints about SketchWow.

### "Loved the tool."

February 8, 2025

5.0

I have loved the tool, at forst I thought I have paid hefty amount but seeing the development being done and new features being regularly, I feel that down the line I would be replacing ppt presentations with sketwow to create my slides to teach and inspire my students.

Pros

The animations and mostly the draw animation that I have been using alot, the ppt mode is something which makes people awestruck.

Cons

The animations and timing them is kind of challenging if you have multiple objects.

### "Best of Both Worlds!"

February 11, 2025

5.0

Overall a fun and engaging experience. \[sensitive content hidden\], and his team project a lot of creative energy as befits this type of product. It’s never a dull moment as a customer of SketchWOW!

Pros

This is the sketching tool I’ve been searching for all my life. Why? All the others a soul-less! They SCREAM computerised, over-perfect, sanitised, boring and dull. Death by Slidedeck style! But with SketchWOW you would be hard pushed to spot that ANY computer got anywhere near your beautiful drawings. It all looks totally hand drawn, organic, alive and fully engaging. But given that LOTS of computer smarts lives in the background to achieve this in a digital place, you’re getting the best of both worlds! Have your cake, eat it too! Tuck in!

Cons

Only in a minor way, the learning curve. It’s not really that steep, but it does take some getting used to. Well worth the investment of a little extra time to understand all the bells and whistles!

Pros

I love the ease of use and originality of the product and what you can produce in just minutes.

Cons

SketchWow is fantastic. I've had great feedback from its results, too. The templates are super-engaging and highly relevant. Plus, they're not overwhelming. And the enthusiasm of \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team is first-rate.
