Adobe XD

What do you like best?

Adobe XD allows me to work in the Adobe ecosystem, using tools and icons I'm already familiar with, thus flattening the learning curve. It also provides integration with other Adobe apps, which is an added convenience given that my team relies on the Creative Cloud Library for asset management.

Since Adobe XD is a relatively new app, there isn't yet an abundance of tools, third-party plugins, and other add-ons. However, I'm optimistic that this will change as the app ages and the userbase grows.

If you've worked with Adobe products before, I recommend investing time in learning Adobe XD. The UI is intuitive and wireframing websites without fiddling with CSS is a huge time saver. Integration with Creative Cloud can make your life far easier. Store assets in the library and use across multiple devices or share with collaborators.

I can rapidly prototype responsive websites with transition effects and animations. The built-in grid system and repeat grid tool have sped up my design process significantly. Creating interactive prototypes and handing off mockups that stakeholders can actually use has helped my team showcase ideas in a way that reduces design/branding confusion during the review and approval process.

Adobe XD is the best on the market, in my opinion, as far as UI / UX design is concerned. In a really simple way it is possible to create the design of websites or apps and then move on to the prototyping phase, creating the various links, interactive components, buttons, animations. The sharing phase is also excellent, which allows you to export the prototype to encourage the work of the developers, who will have the opportunity to take a look at the generated css code and can download the various assets.

As XD is gradually implementing more and more functions. For now, a deficit could be represented by not being able to insert video files. The types of animation are still limited, maybe in the future a timeline, in the Bezier curve style, could be added to personalize the movement.

I believe XD is the best for all UI / UX designers or aspiring designers. There are many competing software but I believe that the Adobe brand can make a difference, especially because it allows interaction with other software, such as Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects. It is also frequently updated, including new features and also new plu-ins from other developers.

By now I use it every day for every project dedicated to devices. In particular, I create interfaces for entire websites both on the desktop and smartphone side. I use a lot, with my colleagues, the possibility of real-time co-working. For me, who has been working with Adobe software for years, the possibility of copying / pasting from Illustrator is perfect.

What I like the most is the integrated interaction within the program. All in one.

They have added different states to the components, which helps to carry out interactions on the component without having to change the screen.

The way to make the navigation links between screens is really the most comfortable I have tried.

Editing in real time with other designers allows the entire team to work together on the same document at the same time, a great help during quarantine in COVID-19 times.

- I don't like that I still don't have a timeline to be able to give interaction automatically.

- I'm really hoping that you can hyperlink to another external document, or call a URL from another XD file.

- Although it has an export mode for developers, it is necessary to include more properties to avoid having to resort to pug-in such as Zeplin.

- When pasting a new screen, within the same document, it preserves the interaction links. This is a change that was not there before and has really brought me problems for keeping unwanted links between screens.

Migrate to Adobe XD, I recommend it!

It allows the integration of MAC Apple users as well as Windows PC.

It comes within the Creative Cloud and its use is free to start trying it.

The first day of use you will be able to make quality prototypes easily and quickly.

With Adobe XD I can design prototypes in low quality, and then evolve them to Hi-Fi, always working on the same file and keeping the same link shared with the client.

The prototyping tool is so powerful and easy to use. I also like the ability to share for development - it helps with the detailing of specs that I need to give to my development team, and we are improving our processes because of it.

I would like the ability to edit and iterate a document remotely while other users work on another section of the document. We are able to share documents to review each others' work but only one person is able to maintain ownership/editing of the document at a time. If this isn't the case, then I'm unaware of how to share a document in that way, and it would be nice to find an easier solution to that.

Adobe XD has a lot of powerful features that get updated regularly. It is beneficial to follow industry groups and participate in Adobe XD challenges to learn more about the software and get an understanding of all the features. I've found that these groups directly help me in my daily work in that i learn tips and tricks I might otherwise have never found on my own.

We are solving navigation issues for mobile and web users, improvement of various web elements, prototype testing, and so much more.

What do you like best?

The rapid rate of feature advancement, and the fact that it seems like they are listening closely to user feedback, gives me a lot of hope for this tool

The fact that it can't display Ina responsive matter affects workflow since you basically have to do 2 mockups. One mobile and one desktop vs having a responsive one.

Watch a few tutorials and stay up to date with their constant feature release

I used to quick prototype on Photoshop and the sharing/demonstrating capabilities were not good enough for clients wanting a more high fidelity concept

What do you like best?

Adobe XD came into design world later than other popular vector prototype tools. But, Adobe XD dev team is one of the quickest dev team I have seen. They are responsive on social media, they take feedback, and they iterate fast (monthly updates). It's easy to use and also leverages Adobe well-known keyboard shortcuts. Also, it works well with other design apps and easy to incorporate into your design workflow. You can easily share the design prototype with others or devs and people could comment as well. And, Adobe XD companion mobile app works great if you are designing for mobile.

Currently, the app is more designed toward mobile development. I would love to see more development for web design. Also, the Adobe Cloud Save idea is interesting, but it needs better file management. It needs to support folder structure.

It's no brainer for any design professionals or design students to try Adobe XD. It's free to use and it's also part of Adobe Creative Cloud app. It runs smooth and works well in both Mac & Windows (you can't say that to a lot of apps and I do use Windows at home) . On top of that, they have a group of dedicated evangelists on Twitter who are quick to response any feedback and solutions. It's also improving at breakneck speed, which is scary.

I use it to prototype most of my design projects. It has one of the lowest learning curve app I have seen and easy to incorporate into your design workflow. It makes my design presentation looks great and it also support sharing prototype with other teams for feedback.

Th best feature is automated responsiveness of your design experiences. Repeat grid feature is another best, which makes all those quick digit changes in your design look so professional and easy to implement.

I don't think there is some generic functionality to loathe on. There can be personal dislikes but I have none.

If you want responsiveness on your design for a better client satisfaction as such, this is THE best option out there is the market. If you are comfortable more on mac and not windows, you can even check out sketch, the greatest competitor or you can say a companion in the market.

Everything which we can make in Adobe XD can be a vector graphic. This is a big issue solved using XD for any designer and not just me.

What do you like best?

I've been using Adobe XD for a few years now and it's grown in leaps and bounds since I first started using it, they release monthly(usually) updates which add new features and improve the programme every time. It makes it easy for me to mock up designs quickly and effectively. Components make it easy to reuse elements and the protoyping features make it easy to show clients or devs how I would ideally want it to look like.

There are a few features I would love to have such as not having to create a new character style every time you just want to change the colour.

Think its a great product to use, especially if you already use adobe's other products as it integrates well. I find its also easier to pick up than some of their other products as it has a simpler interface so isn't as intimidating for newbies.

We're solving the problem of how to create good looking we. The main benefit i've found is speed. Before, designing sites in illustrator or photoshop was a slog but now it's changed the way I design websites for the better. Another benefit is shareability, I can share designs easily and get comments

What do you like best?

XD gives my team the ability to use shared component libraries, so we aren't working from giant Illustrator documents that get out of date quickly. Our developers love that I can share mockups that have all the elements they need to quickly put my designs into production.

Getting started with XD, like most Adobe products, is daunting at first. It would be great if there were more tutorials built into the application that could get new users up to speed. That's especially important as I try to convince my team to switch to XD from Photoshop and Illustrator. If they don't adopt the software, then it makes switching pointless.

If your teams are already in the Adobe ecosystem, it makes a lot of sense to switch to XD instead of Sketch. Especially with the price of XD being included in Creative Cloud!

XD solves the problem of not having standardized and auto-updated component libraries. Additionally, it takes much of the back-and-forth away from the designers and developers, since everything exports in a neat package with everything needed to put designs into production.

What do you like best?

This software allows many pages in a file which encourages consistent designing,colors thus simplifying editing

The software also allows live previewing and file storage and all these are available on various operating systems.

The software has the basics tutorials which are of great help especially to the beginners because they elaborate the application in detail.

In any editing shapes are an important aspect however with XD i can;t design more shapes apart from the circles, squares, oval which limits my level of creativity which has made me to start wishing the developers still have a lot to do.

Well, even though you can design from it, but there is no feature yet to export css from the created design.

The software is awesome it does a lot of stuff ranging from wireframes, screen designs for products that are digital like mobile apps, websites and prototypes. Therefore i recommend that those looking for Adobe XD do look back go for the software its great.

The has helped me so much when it comes to making wireframes, various prototypes. The software has also been important especially in the screen designing for for digital element/products like mobile apps, websites among others
