### "Nice simple app for wireframing"

January 6, 2024

5.0

Great app and tool, not so great subscription payment terms that are easy to misinterpret.

Pros

Easy, no frills app is great for wireframing low fidelity. Other tools have too many features and you can quickly get stuck down the high fidelity route. AdobeXD keeps you high level.

Cons

Adobe lock-in pricing. Billed monthly but committed for 12 months. Easy to overlook when signing up and not a fun experience when you realise it.

### "Adobe Xdud"

May 17, 2020

4.0

XD has certainly come a long way from not being in the conversation of UX designing Softwares to now closing the gap to a large extent. They have been slow in updating and fulfilling their user's requirements. These steady innovations have brought them higher up in the rankings, but still far behind a much helpful features of Figma. Having new features adding in almost every month but tools like Figma have been blowing it out of water ever since and that may never change. Adobe Xd, for now, is a dud in the UX design software food chain.

Pros

Familiarity with the software having a similar interface as other Adobe Creative Cloud with a tool panel on the left, the main area in the center, layers, etc. on the right. The new features that seem like they aren't going to stop coming real soon like Responsive Resize, Timed Transitions, and Spell Check are quite helpful. I absolutely enjoy the repeat grid feature. No need for multiple copy-pasting objects every time.

Cons

Perhaps the most stressful con is not having a real-time collaboration option. Having separate spec sheets and then to have them republish every time editing the design. One who has used Figma will find it tedious to not have the proper tools like text options, layer effects, and image tools. Lacks flexibility in using components at instances. One cannot make changes to a symbol they're creating. Changing the size of a symbol changes all its instances. If you want to create graphics from scratch you can do it right inside Figma, whereas XD is not equipped for this task, requiring a second piece of software instead (Illustrator/Photoshop). Not linking the assets used in the project like colors, text styles, and symbols create a tiring process.

### "A good offline option"

April 27, 2022

4.0

It offers a simple UI for designing for digital screens but it lacks some powerful functionality

Pros

It is a native app so the performance is great, while collaboration is not executed as perfectly as in similar products

Cons

It does lack some features that the other similar products have

### "Adobe XD is one of the best to prototype "

May 14, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to understand if you are used to using other adobe software or similar. In addition, when sharing it, there are several versions available such as: prototypes for developers, for commenting on the design and for testing with users. I also like how all the connecting lines of the prototypes are not showing, which makes the process of making the connections less confusing.

Cons

It is a little difficult to keep the project organized within the file, as it is not possible to divide it into pages. And it is not very good for creating design systems precisely because of the difficulty in organization and because creating variants of a component is a somewhat complex process. It's also hard to use pluggins with Adobe XD.

I think Figma is better for organization, design systems creation and it is more user friendly.

### "Overall "

August 27, 2021

5.0

According to my reviews which are mentioning above, I satisfy using this app because I can create as much a I want, like creating websites design is in your hand. But I really hope to give more discount for students.

Pros

This application is really good for creating the prototype or related in that fields. Moreover, I do recommend that this is a cool option to create a websites and application mockups. I am studying design and this application helps me a lot while I have a presentation related to my Designs and advertising my products, I can present my product together with how much I can persuade according to my website design. I am not sure about coding or other technology for coding yet I do recommend this application for prototyping of your own website since there are a lot of options to create as much as you want. I had been using other creating stuffs but I recommend this one according to my opinion and usage.

Cons

The only matter why feel not very comfortable with using this application is about price. As you know, adobe are for monthly or yearly plans of using the apps, I can use as the University is supplying us. But I believe it’s worth to pay for that. Beside, please watch out whether you would like to continue or unsubscribe one or two months in advance.

### "The best UI UX desingner you'll ever need"

November 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

It has a clean and intuitive user interface making it easier for even beginners. XD offers collaboration tools such as sharing for review, commenting, and design specs, which facilitate communication between designers, stakeholders, and developers. Designers can create interactive prototypes and preview how their designs will function, providing a more realistic user experience.

Cons

While Adobe XD is generally user-friendly, there might still be a learning curve for individuals who are new to design tools or those transitioning from other design software. Some users have reported occasional performance issues, especially when working on complex and large projects. However, updates are regularly released to address such issues.

### "Adobe XD: One of the Best UI Design Software"

April 3, 2021

5.0

Adobe XD is incredibly useful for designing software and it is clear that Adobe has put a lot of effort into a dedicated UI and UX design tool. There are many advantages in using Adobe XD and it comes with the Adobe Creative Cloud. Personally, I use Adobe XD to plan out an outline of the software that I am going to build. By using prototyping, I am able to create a realistic blueprint of the software that actually has functionality. Therefore, I highly recommend Adobe XD to people who will be working on the design of software, especially those who already have the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

Pros

There are many great features in Adobe XD that make the experience of designing a prototype a lot smoother and easier. For example, Adobe XD follows the same user interface as other Adobe products, making it is very easy to learn how it works if you have used other Adobe products before. Adobe XD can handle very complex designs and can use large symbol libraries. Prototyping is also very simple in Adobe XD and there is also the auto animate feature which makes the prototype even more realistic. Last but not least, Adobe XD has a large growing assortment of plugins and integrations which seamlessly connect users to various services.

Cons

One disadvantage of Adobe XD is how you cannot test a mobile prototype on an actual mobile device. This is not too big of a problem but it does take away from the experience. There is no built in animation timeline so it is difficult to go beyond simple animations without plugins. Building on this, some plugins actually cost extra and is not native to Adobe XD which is a bummer

### "Popular design and prototyping tool"

May 22, 2023

5.0

I use Adobe XD on a daily basis the kind of responsive designs and active community it has, made me stick to it.

Pros

I like Adobe XD the most for its prototyping feature. The elements, transition and animation of this software are pretty good. It can be easily integrated with other Adobe tools. Plugins for XD are easily available that extend its capabilities

Cons

If you want to design something for your website so you need to take the help of Photoshop or other editing software. If someone is new to prototyping so the learning curve is steep for him.

### "An excellent UI design app in progress"

July 31, 2018

5.0

Of the tools I've tried (Illustrator, XD, Sketch, Figma, Affinity Designer), XD has been the smoothest most intuitive tool for UI design.

Pros

Adobe has gotten so much "right" with Adobe XD. It's refreshing and encouraging. At this point, Adobe XD has a decently rich feature set, but it has taken a while to get to this point, and a lot of designers have decided to stick with or move on to Sketch and Figma. One of my favorite features is the repeating grid. Take any element or group of elements, press cmd+r, and you can drag to the right, bottom, or both and the item(s) will repeat. You can also quickly click and drag to adjust the gutter, the space in-between the repeating items. Prototyping is also built in. It's not a feature I've used as much, but from my experimenting, it seems to be implemented well.

Cons

Adding features has been a fairly slow process. Ultimately I appreciate the approach as opposed to rushing out poor implementations of features, but it's difficult to adapt XD for projects when the feature set is lacking. I'm diving back into XD after a period of using Figma and the state of features has improved, but I'm still waiting to see if there are key features lacking.

### "Powerful Platform to Create Professional Designs"

March 12, 2020

5.0

I have used Adobe XD in lot of my projects, and I have also taught Adobe XD to my Students at an Educational Institute in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. My overall experience with Adobe XD is really awesome because this software always helps me to design the interface of my webpages and apps. Before the development process, first I design the look and everything of apps in Adobe XD and then I show the interface of app pages to my clients. They approve the app's interface, then I complete the development process. So I really like and Love Adobe XD.

Pros

Adobe XD is a unique platform where you can create designs for websites, mobile applications, games and more. The features of Adobe XD are really powerful like with prototypes you can test your apps and designs in a real way where you can add motion, animation, interactions and more. You can export your designs to Adobe After Effects. The tools are really awesome and the dashboard of Adobe XD is really very light and easy to understand and use. So if you want to design the interface of your webpages and apps then Adobe XD is best.

Cons

According to my experience, the tools of Adobe XD is awesome. The interface is fabulous and easy to use. Everything is available for the designers. Wherewith prototype, design can be created in such a realistic way. So, as far as I know, everything is perfect in Adobe XD.

### "A clean interface is really beneficial for quick work completion."

November 4, 2022

5.0

It is quite easy to add stuff to UI. Drag an image from anywhere, please (folder, browser, etc.)

Pros

I can view the entire canvas from desktops to cellphones as soon as I launch the application. Select the one for which I want to create our UI design, then start.The most useful feature I discovered in this program is the basic introduction tutorial, which is really beneficial to anyone just learning how to use the program. As they do so interactively, they highlight the software's strongest aspects.

Cons

Any design must include shapes. But only circles, ovals, squares, and rectangles can be created in Adobe XD.

### "How to improve Adobe XD"

January 16, 2024

5.0

Pros

Using the Adobe XD we can understand easily about user story and Acceptance Criteria when I build the web application. Or We can discuss more detail with the well-defined UI in the team.

Cons

While I was building web design, I felt that it was a bit difficult to manage the image. It means, it was difficult to download or snapshot image of UI which I want to use. As a engineer, it should be improved to make user experience easily.

### "Adobe XD is a great tool for prototyping and interface designing"

November 4, 2023

5.0

My overall experience is great with adobe XD why because because the i have almost all the tools in one place and can use it for most of my work without going anywhere else

Pros

I like the fact that has most of the tools available inside it so i can use it for multiple tasks and do not have to go anywhere else. I can create wireframes, prototypes, interface designs etc at the same place.

Cons

Installing plugins and sometime the compatibility is very very hard. Cause you have to have adobe cloud app installed on your machine to use it with full functionality and install plugins. It should be stand alone and i do not want to dedicate my whole laptop to one family of softwares.

### "The industry standard for planning, casting vision and making people believe"

December 7, 2018

5.0

Adobe XD allows me to quickly design prototypes and share them with clients to give them a completed vision of just why they hired or will hire me.

Pros

Adobe XD gives designs the ability now to not only quickly create a mock up of a design but also a prototype that allows everyone involved to get a clear picture of the direction headed and what a final product could look like and operate like. It is the ability to go from zero to 60 quicker by skipping some of the long labor intensive steps that used to be required to sell a vision. Pros: - Quickly create a visual working prototype of a design, app, website, and so on - Make voice overs to be able to sell a vision without even being there - Easily preview design with your smart device and integrated app -Quickly be able to make animations to be more convincing of a real working project.

Cons

There really isn't much bad to say about XD. There is a bit of a learning curve but Adobe as well as many others have provided many tutorials to get you going.

### "Quick mockups"

April 29, 2019

5.0

It's not perfect, but XD gets me darn close considering I wasn't a UX designer at all until I was hired to do some UX for a startup! I was able to transfer design skills I use in other Adobe programs and get up to speed quickly thanks to this tool.

Pros

XD helps you go from 0 to 60 real fast. It's my preferred software for UX design. One of the reasons is it really feels like it works with me. It's loaded with pre-sets and makes intelligent, helpful decisions along the way that saves me time and thought. It's fast and easy to get from design concept to a testable prototype. And that's huge. There's always tweaking that has to be done along the way, but at least with XD I'm not starting from scratch every time there's a problem. I can quickly execute changes across the design and re-export with no problem. As someone who is a native of Adobe Illustrator, it was a pleasant surprise to find that Adobe had yet another great design tool in its suite.

Cons

Collaboration, while supposedly a selling point of XD, has been a weak spot in my experience. It's not intuitive to share and edit a file with others on the team. But since I'm mostly working solo that hasn't been a huge problem. The other con is that the prototype is not live and testable outside XD. It's a huge bonus when you can actually run a design through its paces not only on the screen you designed it, but on a phone and elsewhere to see where the tripping points are. This is one thing that makes XD inferior to some other prototyping software out on the market.

### "Easy to use when you are an Adobe user"

May 2, 2023

4.0

Adobe XD is really good when it comes to making prototypes and wireframes. It easy to use for most designers because it relies on the Adobe system that every designer learned to use.

Pros

For someone who has used the Adobe suite for a long time, Adobe XD is really easy to get used to. It is great for UI and UX.

Cons

It didn't really manage to catch up with other softwares like Figma, but now that Adobe bought Figma, I don't think it needs to. There's actually room to make something different out of Adobe XD.

### "The Incredible and Best User Interface/User Experience Tool"

May 6, 2020

5.0

Adobe XD is my favorite User Interface and User Experience design tool. This tool is really incrdible for my projects. Through this Adobe platform I have created and designed a number of beautiful interface designs for my websites and applications. I really like the animations which I can apply between elements across the different artboards. My overall experience with Adobe XD is awesome, because I really like the tools and interface of this software.

Pros

Adobe XD is one of the best UI/UX design tools. If you want to create a design for your website, application or game then Adobe XD is perfect. You can prepare design first for your clients. Once they approve the designs then you can proceed. You can apply incredibly unique look to your design with vector design tools, colors and character styles. Prototypes is the best way to link content of different artboards. So you can easily show the clients how the text links and images will work in the website and applications.

Cons

According to my experience, every feature and tool that I used in Adobe XD is awesome and perfect. So there are no Cons in this Software. Adobe XD is really professional software for designers including web designers, mobile application designers and game designers.

April 19, 2022

5.0

Great experience using Adobe XD in general. So all Adobe product in general, it rarely disappoint if you know what you want to create from it.

Pros

You can easily create prototypes to visualize the end-view the user will have while using your app. What's great is that you can really create a customer-journey based prototype, to make sure your designs are on point in terms of UX/UI. Plus, it's a very easy to use software once you know how to find your way through it.

Cons

It's just for design, which means, transitions and else are pretty basic. It's a great tool in terms of design and having an upfront idea of what you will get once you use the App. So more going toward UI than UX itself.

### "Typing Bug Makes Search Based Navigation Impossible"

August 1, 2021

3.0

Pros

XD has many unique features such as auto-animate, scrolling within containers, and component states.

Cons

A long-standing typing bug prevents users from being able to search vast component libraries, completely breaking focus and flow. Essentially, typing in any text field only works 10% of the time. This prevents users from achieving a number of simple tasks, such as searching for components (the library navigation is based on search), renaming layers, and typing in CSS/style values.
