Like

Usability and easy navigation

Like

- Very easy to pick up for any ability level thanks to it's familiar UI and similarities to other adobe products - Jump straight into designing with many differnet template sizes. Another great general adobe feature - Repeating content is great for filling up large areas very quickly with minimal effort!

Like

1. I love how I can seamlessly transition from creating wireframes to interactive prototypes, allowing me to visualize user flows and interactions. 2. Its responsive design ensures optimal presentation across diverse devices and orientations. 3. The interactive prototyping is great - transitions and animations give life to my visions. 4. The software's collaborative framework empower my team to harmoniously contribute to projects, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and efficiency. 5. Also, its seamless integration with other adobe tools underscores its adaptability within comprehensive design workflows.

Dislike

The quality of image rendering in public links is not the best

Dislike

- Very difficult to add more complex animation effects for high-fidelity prototyping. Makes for a very flat experience - Layout of objects is very static. Needs an auto-layout feature - the experience of design to dev is tedious as you cannot export the css in the native version of the application - Scalability of the apps we want branching and version control which we can't do here. -Larger flows are extremely slow to operate

Dislike

While Adobe XD is a robust design and prototyping tool, it's not without its drawbacks. Some of the issues that I have experienced while working with this software are listed below. 1. Sometimes performance can be an issue with larger projects, causing slowdowns and responsiveness problems. 2. While it's great for basic animations, it falls short when it comes to more advanced animation needs. 3. Its support for prototyping complex web interactions might be less robust. 4. While it excels in UI/UX design, it lacks the depth of illustration tools found in specialized software. 5. Also, exporting to some formats might require additional steps or involve challenges.

    I have been using this product for more than 5 years, and that's why I also decided to select it as an essential part of my current job since 3 years ago. Adobe XD is my go-to tool for crafting user interfaces and interactive prototypes.

Its intuitive interface and responsive design features make it easy to create designs that look great on various devices. While it may have a slight learning curve for more advanced features, I appreciate the regular updates that keep the tool current and relevant. Overall, I value this product for its efficiency in creating user interfaces and it is my trusted companion for designing user experiences that resonate with users.
