### "Helps keep our team on the same page"

October 22, 2021

5.0

My team of 3 designers loves using versions for Sketch. I think it works well for small teams but I cannot speak of how it would work for larger teams.

Pros

With a basic understanding of git, Versions is a great tool for teams to collaborate. We love that you can see changes very easily with releas notes and background syncing.

Cons

Sometimes the product is buggy. Syncing will be out of date or versions will tell us that there is a conflict when there really isn’t. That gets slightly annoying. It’s usually relatively easy to resolve, but it nevertheless is an annoyance we have to deal with.

### "Not overwhelmed"

February 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

Easy to receive assets from designers in remote locations. Easy to see design history. Easy to diff history.

Cons

We want to use the same project for iOS and Android but Sympli forces us to choose one platform. Because our projects are set to iOS and I develop on Android I am not able to use the Android Studio plugin

### "Simple and straightforward"

November 1, 2021

4.0

Been using it for several years, it is our main software for sharing UI/UX screens with our dev and biz partners.

Pros

It's simplicity and straightforwardness.

Cons

Trying to organize your artboards. The sorting and tagging are limiting when you have large workflows that may branch many times. If the designer isn't using a robust naming convention for their artboards then dev/biz often have a hard time finding a specific screen they're looking for.

### "Great little tool to get your designs to engineers"

February 27, 2018

4.0

It's simple way of sharing the designs with your engineering team. It syncs well most of the time and the screens can be categorised and tagged in whichever way you prefer.

Pros

It's easy to use and it works really well with iOS designs. I like that engineers have their own login and can browse through the project to find what they need.

Cons

It's a little tricky exporting Android designs as they need to be 'processed' before syncing. Also, engineers keep finding it very difficult to find css details of the design elements.

### "Sympli has been a game changer in my work process in design. It made things easier and faster. "

March 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's very easy and practical to use. With just one command, I can share all my design assets from the source files to the development team(s) in one single place. I can also receive valuable feedback on my designs.

Cons

It's actually very difficult to go back to the "old way" of doing the job: Extracting manually the files/assets one by one, zipping, emailing and again and again... Just thinking about it feels like a chore.

### "I love this app :)"

February 27, 2018

5.0

It makes front-end developing much faster and easier

Pros

1\. Really fast application 2. Easy navigation between different projects 3. Ability to save icons in vector/bitmap

Cons

1\. Navigation by browser history buttons (back-forward). Occasionally when i click back button, I don't get the screen where i actually was. Also I'd like to save scroll position, when I'm on the list of designs, then click on one of them, and then go back to list. 2. Tag-filters. When I click "tag1" and "tag2" I expect to see designs which have "tag1" PLUS designs which have "tag2". It would be better if we have an ability to do like this.

### "Best in industry till now!!"

February 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

Best collaboration platform for developers and designers Support for xcode android studio and photoshop though I have used for android studio only. Much needed plugins for developer once designing part has been completed With the help of this we are doing design and implement UI side by side while developing simultaneously. Drag and drop feature which shows real UI. Auto sync Aplying styling is very very easy.

Cons

Earlier we had lot of issue not by technically but understanding the use of tool and how we can scale the plugins Sometimes while installing plaugin it crashes and no horizontal scroll Apart from that this doesnt have any cons and best in industry Must try!!

### "Best tool for design collaboration"

### "Really simplified our work"

February 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Plugins integration into popular mobile IDE's, really easy to use, all needed platforms supported, all is cool )

Cons

Auto-layout generation is useless, really that can't be used in real projects. Possible will be good to have more pricing models to allow a bit flexible plan.

### "Sympli Review"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

Saves a lot of time with dev handoffs and specs. I've gotten quite a few companies to start using it now with all my freelance and contract work.

Cons

The new pricing structure. It ends up being quite a bit more than Zeplin with this structure for our company and makes it more difficult and time consuming to add and remove users. I've used it for so long and gotten so many companies to start using it, I was grandfathered in for a good deal on pricing, but with the new structure, they no longer give me my pricing. Because of this, I have begin to transition us away from Sympli, but it will take some time.

Reason for choosing Sympli

It's what I was use to and did have a good price and other products didn't offer same features in app, where now they have started to.

I like that it is very simple to use. It alerts you when there are changes in any project you have access to and downloading assets is very easy and simple.

February 23, 2018

5.0

Daily use

Pros

Overall easy to use, and accomplishes what we need for our projects. I like that there are different options for downloading assets.

Cons

Sometimes the manual measuring is difficult. If our UX designer doesn't set up the individual objects to click on, trying to use the ruler is a pain.

### "productive, efficient, simple UI"

February 22, 2018

4.0

it had made the design handoff very easy and increased the efficiency and productivity of the team. Its been helpful, to answer any dev question in context of the designs. Its has helped us even more since our dev team is off-shore and across different time zones. Love the product, its simplicity and seamlessness with design softwares.

Pros

easy to use, plugins are seamless, support is pretty quick, easy to share with team, annotations makes its easy to communicate changes on the versions or answer and dev questions

Cons

1\. tags: organizing projects is not intuitive, sometimes tags don't work as well; selection of tags, it selects multiple tags upon clicking them, so I have to go and deselect every time. 2. Sometime, svgs are not formatted correctly upon download.

### "Game changer"

January 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

\- Awesome Android studio and xcode plugins which ease out designer-developer development efforts - Neat pricing model

Cons

One of the thing that frustrates me in sympli is, measurements really gets messed up if there are multiple components overlapping (especially for android designs)

### "Bridge the gap between Designer and Developer"

November 5, 2021

5.0

As a developer I get all the specifications needed easily and quickly without contacting the designer. I get notifications as and when the design is updated.

Pros

Simple UI, Specs info is great, Grid layout

Cons

No option to remove notation indicators from the design it ruins taking screenshots

### "Sympli"

August 9, 2021

5.0

Overall a great tool, notification functionality is top notch.

Pros

Very easy to share all designs and logic with developers plus due to its online availability I can access it from anywhere. Easy to install and plugin and for story board it's only drag and drop.

Cons

Some times slowness is frustrating and to setup manual measurement it is difficult for UI designer which needs to be fixed.

### "In general good experience, just sometimes found get a little tricky to get the information I need."

February 27, 2018

4.0

I'm always looking at the last mockup version. I don't need the Sketch licence.

Pros

I don't need the full licence of Sketch. Informations are distributed all over the team in one place, and none need to worry to check if it' updated.

Cons

In this last revisions on some objects it was saying Black for a Gray text: I had to ask for the right color. When I need to try different times to select what I'm looking for, but this is not that big problem.

### "Easy upload with Sketch. Great for developers."

February 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

The sketch plugin is super easy to use and takes the friction out of getting designs to the development team. Also love that it is web-based, and can be accessed from my mobile phone or laptop. The Sympli team is also super responsive to user feedback, and I've totally felt supported by them.

Cons

I've never been a big fan of how screens are grouped together. Personally, I'd prefer to set up folders to arrange the designs. But Sympli uses tags. This has been confusing for both me and for my developers -- when trying to see the design for a specific page or experience...
