### "Un pionnier qui peine à suivre ses cadets"

October 1, 2024

3.0

Mon expérience avec Sketch a été mitigée. Bien qu’il ait été pionnier dans le domaine du design d’interfaces, il semble aujourd’hui dépassé par des concurrents plus innovants. Les limitations de plateforme et le manque de fonctionnalités intégrées pour la collaboration et le prototypage avancé rendent son utilisation moins attrayante dans un environnement UI qui évolue très vite.

Pros

Sketch propose une interface épurée dédiée à la conception UI/UX. Sa simplicité peut être un atout pour ceux qui recherchent un outil simple

Cons

Sketch est exclusivement disponible sur macOS, ce qui exclut tous les utilisateurs d’autres systèmes d’exploitation. La collaboration en temps réel est limitée, ce qui complique le travail en équipe. De plus, sa dépendance aux plugins tiers peut entraîner des surcouts

### "Sketch is perfect for iOS and Android app design"

June 28, 2024

5.0

Overall, I'm very happy with Sketch. It's a perfect compact design tool thats great for app design specifically. This is none better for this. If for general design, then perhaps better tools and software exists.

Pros

I've used sketch since 2014 to create iPhone user interfaces, their icons and promotional material. It's very easy to create, share and distribute images and vectors.

Cons

I purchased Sketch outright when I first started, then a few years later they bought in a subscription model. Now I am forced to pay a yearly sub in order to maintain the latest features. This I felt was unfair at the time and still feel a little bitter about. That being said, it still works out cheaper than other design software overall, even when paying yearly. I also think their vector creation tools could be a little better. I have a separate piece of software to make vectors. Sketch is pretty basic.

### "A Powerful and Intuitive Tool for Vector-based Design"

March 12, 2023

5.0

As a user of Sketch, I appreciate how easy it is to create vector graphics and designs using the software. The interface is user-friendly and the design tools are intuitive, making it easy to bring my ideas to life. I also enjoy the large community of users and resources available for learning and troubleshooting. However, I have encountered some issues with the software being slow or buggy when working with large files or complex designs. Additionally, as a Windows user, I am unable to use Sketch as it is only available for macOS.

Pros

1.User-friendly interface with intuitive design tools2.Optimized for creating vector graphics, making it easy to scale artwork without loss of quality3.Large community of users and resources for learning and troubleshooting4.Support for plugins and integrations with other design tools5.Regular updates and improvements to the software

Cons

1.Only available for macOS, limiting accessibility for some users2.Limited functionality for photo editing or working with raster images3.Some advanced design features may require plugins or additional software4.Can be slow or buggy when working with large files or complex designs5.Steep learning curve for beginners who are new to vector-based design

### "Sketch is an awesome prototyping too for information technology agency."

June 7, 2022

5.0

I also solve my web design & development service. When I get any client this time they want a live demo of how to look there website. This time I create a prototype using Sketch. I can create very fast and easily from here.

Pros

Our company offers a full suite of IT Services Like web design & Development, Graphics Design, also digital marketing, so our prototyping needs to run and then hand off to my UX counterparts. Sketch allows us to manage both ends of the spectrum and everything in between, ensuring consistency and collaboration between team members. They then take those and turn them into high-fidelity designs that we use to test with customers. Sketch works great for this.

Cons

Sometimes keyboard shortcuts are not the same as photoshop. This system needs to improve I think. Because maximum designer uses photoshop that why you design your keyboard shortcut like photoshop then much easier for your user.

Because of Simple wireframing, Working with other tools, and Easy to share files. Saves our time Saves frustration, Makes collaboration easier. This cause I choose this.

### "Best UI design tool for Mac"

September 14, 2020

5.0

The most intuitive and effective vector graphic software I've ever personally used. The fact that it's not cross platform may be a deterrent to teams that want to standardize tools, but I don't mind it personally for my own use.

Pros

This is by far the most intuitive user interface design software out there. It is made for screens first, whereas a program like Illustrator has a lot of features built for print first. You can still design screens in Illustrator, but Sketch is built to measure in pixels first and has a much simpler interface. I can quickly mock up a landing page, logo, app screen and more, faster than any other program. They remove a lot from their own interface that I feel can be distracting in a program like Illustator.

Cons

I'm a Mac user, so this doesn't matter to me, but it only works on Mac's for now. Apparently they are working on a Windows version, but as of September 2020 when writing this, there is no known release date. Does not open layered .eps files, so I either use a web based conversion tool or open it using Affinity Designer and converting to .svg to work with .eps layered in Sketch. I find myself wanting to use this interface to create flyers and other print materials as well. I have to go Google dimensions of regular print items to set them properly. While I know that's not the intention of this software, that would be valuable to me and help this software compete with Adobe on print graphics the way they do with vector graphics.

Alternatives considered

[Figma](https://www.capterra.com/p/175027/Figma/)

Reason for choosing Sketch

Pricing structure. Figma is a montly subscription, whereas Sketch is a yearly license. It allows you to use your current version for a few months before upgrading if the budget is tight, or you don't feel the need to update right away. This allows for more flexibility and keeps the overall cost down.

Switched from

[Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/)

Cost and usability. Sketch is ~$100 per year to get updates. I usually go a several months before updating, and that brings my per-month total down slightly compared to Adobe's suite of tools.

### "Sketch Software: 'A designers Dream tool for streamlining Design Process'"

March 10, 2023

5.0

OMG! I have been able to prototype lots of UI/UX projects and integrate them to other platforms successfully with ease.

Pros

Wao, am in love with the fact that I have intuitive interface, robust layout , plugins/integration for designing and exporting designs and the prototyping capabilities which is just awesome.

Cons

I notice sketch lacks 3D features but with the integration features am just fine.

### "Many great features but needs prototyping"

December 27, 2021

4.0

Pros

Sketch is extremely user friendly because it uses many shortcut keys familiar to MAC users. I have created many wireframes for apps and websites in it to show my company IDEA and as a Springboard student.

Cons

The lack of a prototype feature within this app is actually a big deal to my company. We switch between using Figma and Sketch since Figma has the ability to prototype within the app. It’s too time consuming to transfer art boards to other prototype tools, expensive, and also worrisome. I constantly have to reformat components that didn’t transfer properly. Sketch may lose market share to Figma because having the ability to complete the whole design cycle in one app is important to companies needing to research and bring products to market quickly.

### "Sketch is the best tool for UI/UX designers."

February 28, 2019

5.0

Great software for UI/UX designers, great for sketching, mockups, previews and prototyping. Highly recommend it!

Pros

It's very light weight and easy to use. You'll get the hang of it even if you are a newbie as a designer. The files are well constructed and even if you have lots of screens inside one file, it will open up easily with almost no waiting time. The developers behind Sketch constantly push updates. The pricing structure is a lot different than what Adobe does and I believe this is how things should be. You buy one license per device per year (different discounts are applied for different volumes). You get constant updates through out the year and the interesting part is that when that license expires, you can still use the software forever with the last version you had before it expired. No subscription. You have a big ecosystem of plugins that give you access to some amazing tools like Zeplin.io (for layout exports to devs) and Marvel (for prototyping), but also to independent projects that really make your life easier. Libraries and Symbols are amazing and once you master them, you work will improve tremendously because you won't spend time copying, redoing or modifying repeating UI elements. Exports to different resolutions for iOS and Android UI assets is as easy as clicking three times on a plus button and then pressing the export button. How amazing is that? Such a time saver! You also have prototyping tools inside Sketch to link screens between them, you get missing fonts alert that know which fonts are exactly missing. Overall it changed my workflow completely!

Cons

The image tool needs more work, as it doesn't have too many options to work with. You can fix this with different plugins or libraries. Hopefully more features will be added soon. The preview iOS app worked well in the beginning but now it's just awful. It's worth mentioning that occasionally, when trying to open a file that was created with newer version of Sketch than the one that you are currently using, it won't allow it. This practically makes you upgrade your version.

### "Still better than Figma (for us), great for UI design systems, constantly improving"

September 30, 2021

4.0

We use Sketch to design our mobile app, web apps, website, and various other things. It's a key tool in our team's work. Figma is giving Sketch a real run for its money, but so far it's a better fit for our team. Competition is healthy, and I hope that translates into constant improvements over time.

Pros

Symbols and libraries - these are the core of Sketch's power. Dynamically updated components that allow individual customisations/overrides mean we don't have to have a million different variants of a given component. Colour tinting on symbol instances is a huge timesaver too, compared to the hacks and workarounds we used to have with layer styles and nested swatch symbols. Export presets make asset export simple - I especially love the use of layer names to create folder structures for export. The SVG export gives better results than Adobe Illustrator for example (more decimal places means higher accuracy). Pressing Enter or double-clicking to drill down within groups of elements is super useful - it'd be even better if there were keyboard shortcuts to cycle back and forth between the layers of a group (i.e. next/previous layer). Plugins - there's a very active ecosystem of 3rd party developers, with tons of useful plugins to extend Sketch's functionality and make up for some of its limitations.

Cons

The vector editing tools feel very limited. For icon design I often find I have to jump to Adobe Illustrator to get the exact shapes I want. Illustrator's vector manipulation tools are both quicker and offer more granular control over various operations. Since layer and symbol names are such a key aspect of asset export, I'd love to have built-in rule-based batch renaming features. The popular plugin RenameIt is great, but why not build this in? The new team accounts are confusing and don't work well. The difference between signing in to an individual account vs a shared workspace isn't clear enough - do I need a serial number or a username and password? Myself and my teammates have had multiple issues with being signed out and getting lost in authentication hell, which immediately cuts us off from our files.

### "Best Product Design Tool Available For Mac/iOS"

August 25, 2022

5.0

I really love using Sketch. It's one of my favorite tools to use for mobile app designing. Even though it's collaborative features are not that great, however, it's clean interface, intuitive design, key shortcuts and tons of plugin options makes it one of the best product design tool out there.

Pros

My company primarily uses Sketch to design the mobile application designs and share them using the Zeplin plugin. I have used Sketch to create high fidelity mockups and mobile app designs. I love it's clean UI, intuitiveness, various plugins, pixel perfection. As I am a Product owner and coming from a non-designer background, there has been a little learning curve while learning to use this product but it was all worth it. Additionally, the key command shortcuts makes the design process so easy and productive for me. I highly recommend using Sketch for your product designs.

Cons

One of the biggest limitation of using Sketch is that it is only available on Mac and this limits the collaboration with the rest of the team (which might be majorly on Windows). Additional issue I have faced multiple times is that whenever I am creating Product designs which has numerous art boards (like 60+), Sketch tends to lag a lot and makes it impossible to export the files. Moreover, Sketch is not a great tool for Prototyping.

In my company, Sketch is the preferred tool used for mobile app designing. So for a few Projects where we had to design mobile applications for the Client, I used Sketch for wireframing and UI designing (instead of Figma, which is our go-to design tool for those projects where most of the team members are using Windows machines).

### "Great Tool for Viewing Designs + Constantly Improving!"

November 15, 2022

5.0

My experience is this is an excellent tool for UI design and viewing UI designs. We realized a big benefit with their cloud tool is that now all users on the team can view designs easily. This has helped dramatically to align our teams on the requirements. Now that they are accessible for everyone, we are all much better for it and working as a better team.

Pros

I am writing this review from the perspective of a Product Manager who uses Sketch to view designs for myself and my team. In that capacity it has been a great tool! The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate around. I find myself making small updates to designs frequently, and Sketch makes this easy even for a novice such as myself. Their Sketch cloud tool is constantly improving. Every time I login I find a new feature that wasn't there before. The cloud functionality makes it a breeze to share designs to some team members who do not have a Sketch license. We have been using Sketch for 3 years at my company and I don't foresee that changing any time soon.

Cons

It can be a bit expensive getting each team member a Sketch license. This used to be a big problem at my company, but since Sketch improved upon their Sketch cloud tool we found the need for developers to have Sketch licenses to have dropped dramatically. So if your team can use the free cloud tool to view designs, it could save you a lot of money on licenses for non designers.

### "Sketch is the ultimate digital design tool"

February 13, 2021

4.0

I have been using Sketch for many years now. The story is that ever since Photoshop started getting slower and more heavyweight, a tool was needed for fast digital (i.e. not print) design. So Sketch, while a bit simplistic at first, rose to popularity along with industries like UX and modern web & app design. Sketch's biggest competitor is Figma which has many advantages, but for our team, Sketch remains the sleekest and nicest tool for the job.

Pros

Sketch is easy and lightweight. There are many features and enough complexity, but these are all hidden under its clean interface. And that's its best feature, since it makes design easy and accessible. Plus all of its advanced features, like symbols, libraries, styles etc. make modern digital design fun, since you are mostly concerned with what you design, and not working around the tool and its limitations. Sketch is one of those rare cases, where less is obviously more.

Cons

The biggest drawback of Sketch is it is Mac-only. And while for many designers that's not a problem, let's not forget that a) it's communities that have made many design tools and b) since design has become more important than ever, it has become more inclusive and collaborative than ever as well. This means that a Windows version of Sketch could really make a difference in its future. Sketch cloud, while it's getting where it needs to be, development is a bit slow and left behind.

### "Sketch--the swiss-army-knife for web and mobile developers!"

January 11, 2023

5.0

Great experience, would recommend to anybody who's a front-end designer or web/mobile developer.

Pros

One of the things I liked about Sketch was the breadth of the toolset--it was so packed with functionality (much like Photoshop) but catered towards web and mobile app developers. They know their audience and it shows. The price was nice, but if you're using it as a team it gets more expensive. Sharing and exporting was fairly easy, just remember your format and outputs before saving your work.

Cons

I had trouble learning the hotkeys for things, I would have them memorized and then would forget them after updates. A couple of times, updates to sketch would either A) crash my laptop, or B) glitch designs/templates that I created in earlier versions. Not sure they're catering towards enterprise users yet, but hopefully they've worked out all the kinks.

### "It's a good design software, especially if you start small"

February 17, 2024

4.0

It's still a great design software with flexibility and ease of use. If you want a cheap, commercial licence, go for it. A lot of integration and compatibility :) Worth the money for sure!

Pros

It is still possible to edit SVG files; it's super helpful and still not supported in Figma. It's a cheap licence if you start with a design.

Cons

Definitely lost the first seat to Figma. Cooperation online, direct changes, no fuss just design is something that is still hard to work on in Sketch. It simply doesn't work in the big companies anymore

### "Un programma rapido e completo per la grafica vettoriale"

July 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

Innanzitutto, adoro l'interfaccia intuitiva di Sketch. È pulita, organizzata e facile da navigare. Tutti gli strumenti e le funzionalità sono disposti in modo logico, rendendo il processo di creazione molto fluido. Sketch è l'ideale per disegnare velocemente grafiche anche complesse ma soprattutto mockup e idee per app o siti web. In sintesi, Sketch è uno strumento eccezionale per la grafica vettoriale. La sua interfaccia intuitiva, la potenza, la flessibilità, la gestione delle artboards e l'integrazione con plugin di terze parti lo rendono una scelta ideale per i designer e per chi si approccia alla grafica vettoriale per la prima volta.

Cons

Uno dei principali svantaggi di Sketch è che è disponibile solo per i dispositivi macOS. Questo inficia anche sull'eventuale condivisione dei files di progetto con utenti WIndows. Inoltre Sketch è specializzato nella grafica vettoriale e non offre molte funzionalità per la grafica raster. In generale per avere accesso a funzionalità più avanzate e professionali bisogna rivolgere l'attenzione ad un software come Adobe Illustrator

### "Favorite Design Tool!"

January 23, 2019

5.0

I love how quick they are to make bug fixes and that they are always pushing the capability of what the program can do. They also are not shy of plugins and integrations with Invision and Craft which makes them a better product.

Pros

Here's the short list of why I'll never go back to adobe & always use Sketch 1)Command Keys - I LOVE that I don't have to remember crazy key commands to create simple things like textboxes and shapes. In sketch T creates a textbox, O a circle, R Rectangle! So easy to remember! 2) File Size - I can have HUNDREDS of designed screens in a single file and it doesn't take forever to load! The only time I've ever had a problem was with multiple massive photos in a file and still, that was nothing in compared to other programs 3) Symbols - I love not recreating the same button over and over. And that it's easy to create symbols and also change small things with text override. Helps a ton with consistency! 4) Saving! I love auto-save and if I accidentally deleted something I decided I like the revert ability is awesome! I can't tell you the nightmares I had in college because I forgot to save! 5) Plugins - There is an awesome community around this product and they create great tools to make my life even easier!

Cons

It's great they are always trying to stay up-to-date on the latest and best but as they find better ways to do things it sometimes messes up things like symbols and UI Kits which means rework to match the new functionality.

### "Best Vector Graphics UX/UI Design Tool For Creating iOS & Other Apps"

December 19, 2019

5.0

Using Sketch has been a great experience for me. I've crafted some excellent and quite complex designs for new apps. I will continue to use Sketch going forward.

Pros

I love Sketch and use it as my main app design tool. While there is a bit of a learning curve, I think it's worth investing the time to learn Sketch, particularly if you're designing user experiences and interfaces for mobile apps. The ability to create and use templates and components makes it extremely versatile. Also, the design tools, symbol libraries, and editing features make Sketch the best UX/UI design app I've ever used. Further, you can add plugins to add capabilities to Sketch. I use several. One of these allows me to export a design as code directly into Xcode! This saves time when coding a new UI.

Cons

There's little I don't like about Sketch. The only thing I could think of needing improvement is in creating gradients in the Appearance section of the Inspector. While this is extremely powerful, I find it a bit confusing at times.

### "Keeping this short, Sketch is what UI designers should be using - not Adobe anything. "

November 18, 2018

5.0

I adopted Sketch with the free beta years ago in desperation of not switching back and forth between apps like InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Omnigraffle (yup), and other apps that now feel like makeshift solutions to doing proper UI design. Adobe now has XD, but in my opinion, it's too little too late. I'm beyond knee deep in Sketch and far too busy to re-learn what I already know in what feels like OG UI design tool for the modern designer.

Pros

Sketch feels purposeful, like the creators knew there was a hole in the design market that needed a way to do both wire framing and high fidelity mock-ups with ease and the flexibility of Illustrator. Right when you think Adobe's "next big update" is going to make Sketch obsolete, Sketch comes out with the next wave of features, improvements, and 3rd party plugins that just remind you why you've stayed for so long.

Cons

The only con I can think of is compatibility between how Sketch renders vectors with how Adobe uses it. For the most part, you don't have many issues. But once in a while you'll work with some "old school" team that sends you an Adobe file containing assets for your UI project that you'd rather open in Sketch. Then you do, and it's hit or miss. However, a good designer has Adobe, can clean it up and make it usable in Sketch with a little expert know-how.

I started my design carrer with sketch, I like the fact I paid once and had it all the time in all its power but then the disappearings started to occur and new competitors appear on the horizon so I moved my self to figma, nonetheless sometimes when I don't know how to do smth in figma I go back to sketch, I just know this interface the best

Pros

I like the good old interface that is so universal that was probably adapted by all the other apps like figma, adobe xd

Cons

I don't like the fact that sometimes my design after unexpected turn off, just disappeared. It happened to me several times and I couldin't find the copy in the cloud nor anywhere else. It is very annoying.

### "I like Sketch but there are good alternatives out there too."

October 27, 2020

5.0

Personally, I'm a happy Sketch user however when it comes to projects that require more communication and collaboration, I opt for other tools (Figma!) which my colleagues can use too without Macs and without paying for accounts, etc.

Pros

\- Sketch was directly intended for UX people and was a first in the industry for that reason. You no longer had to use tools like Adobe Photoshop which had workarounds but were clearly not intended for UX designers. - You don't have to keep paying for your account. You can purchase it once and keep using it (you just won't be getting the updates but still). They also have student discounts which is how I got started with it a couple of years ago.

Cons

\- It only works on Mac. (They are working on adapting this but their \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has a happily Mac-only approach which is not helpful.) Sketch is the reason I bought a Mac in the first place but it makes collaboration a challenge. I can use Sketch, but not necessarily the whole team. - Speaking of collaboration... You could not collaborate simultaneously or even in general at all. This is again something they've been working on fixing but it's not great so far and there are better alternatives for this unfortunately.

### "The price and 3rd party integration wins"

December 4, 2018

4.0

Remember how you dreamed how you could have an illustrator like software that's built to build websites? Well you do, and it's quickly becoming the industry standard for web design, I don't know a single product design studio, web design agency or startup that doesn't require their designers to know sketch. It seems everyone is getting on board. The only creatives out there that don't use it are ad agencies that for some reason are still stuck making websites in photoshop. Oh well.

Pros

How seamlessly SK integrates with invision, the workflow is flawless. I love how sketch (unlike Adobe) really emphasized integrating with 3rd party software. Just create the web comp in sketch, synch it with invision and watch how all the assets flow into your project, along with invision inbuilt ability to create a prototype out of your design and let team members comment it, it's truly the best web design work flow I've seen.

Cons

No direct selection. It drove me crazy, that objects are can't be easily selected and manipulated like they can be in PS/AI. And god help you if try to import any vectors back into illustrator. (crazy nonsensical shapes). Which means the only way to establish a coherent work flow with illustrator, is AI into sketch—never the other way around.

February 14, 2023

5.0

Pros

Toutes les fonctionnalités proposées par Sketch, notamment la notion de composants m'on permis de gagner énormément de temps de la création et la mise à jour d'interface d'application web et mobile.

Cons

Ce logiciel est disponible unique sur macOS, ce qui est clairement un frein dans l'adoption et le partage de maquettes d'interfaces

### "Master software for apps development "

November 27, 2022

4.0

It's an amazing software very especially for digital icons creation. Beginners of mobile app creation can start with sketch and will definitely love it. Navigation is and user interface is undoubtedly great

Pros

Its focus is on digital designing. Thanks to its prototyping features that allow me collaborate with other masters of app development especially when I need help. I love most its content creation that do resize automatically. It's an amazing app when choosing a software for app development.

Cons

You won't love it if you want a print design as well as illustration. This software is limited to only holders of Mac machine which is not a good idea to me. There must be a flexibility in its platform.

### "Still top of the line."

May 18, 2018

I can work quickly, integrate with other software, and stay on-brand with my team.

Pros

Where Adobe towered over the creative software world with established workflows and complicated interfaces, Sketch reimagined the world of UI design in a brand new, simpler way. It paved the way for many of its competitors (Figma, Adobe XD, InVision Studio) by helping the industry see what UI design should really be like. Though some of those competitors have introduced new and exciting features, I've still stuck with Sketch because of how quickly I can work in it is not to mention the low price point. I threw away my Adobe Creative Cloud license and replaced it with a simple Sketch license. Because of its popularity, Sketch also easily integrates into many other ecosystems (like Zeplin and Framer). This makes it an easy choice for a team to begin supporting design within their organization.

Cons

They've been a little slow to react to industry changes (increased prototyping capabilities, increasing importance of design systems) and are setting themselves up to get disrupted just like they did to Illustrator.

### "Great product for UX/UI design"

July 17, 2019

We use Sketch to mock-up web and software interfaces.

Pros

This software is pretty easy to start using and offers a lot of great features for mocking up user interfaces. I love the built in templates for different screen sizes and the UI packs for iOS and Android. Using these starter tools gets your design started quickly with minimal effort.

Cons

I dislike having to subscribe to an annual contract to continue getting updates. Overall the price isn’t terrible, it’s just crappy to feel so left behind if I don’t pay the subscription. I also dislike the new color palette system. It was a lot easier to get to my global colors before. Now it’s like I’m constantly adding them over and over.
