Overall Satisfaction with Adobe XD
I used Adobe XD for designing wireframes, prototypes, and mockups. I made a purchase of roughly 280 dollars earlier this year after using the free trial version. Adobe XD keeps trying to get me to buy it on the same account I used to purchase it back in February of 2022. Not only are the popups extremely annoying and unnecessary, but sometimes Adobe XD refuses to work as it's meant to; The type tool will either not select a type layer so I can edit it but instead create a new type layer which I really don't want or need for the designs OR it will not allow me to rename artboards or layers. Sometimes I can't even select the correct hex code when I need to change from the default color. To "remedy" this issue, I constantly have to exit and reopen Adobe. One time I had to uninstall and reinstall it on my laptop. It's a serious hindrance to the time I spend designing for my career. It's hardly efficient. I'll be using Figma after I'm done typing this review. I'm incredibly disappointed and I feel like I wasted my money. I would not even spend 100 dollars on this software. If Adobe XD improves, then I MIGHT reconsider using it again.
- Not focus on improving itself
- Making sure some of its design features don't function
- being frequently inconvenient at random moments
- wasting my work time
- telling the customer they used the wrong account when they didn't
- asking for money I already gave
- The Type tool needs to be fixed
- Stop asking to be bought when a purchase was already made.
- Everything but the type tool apparently
- Negative: it wastes my time by having me try to fix it when I could be finishing designs that I need to get out asap. I am weeks behind thanks to Adobe XD.
So far I've had minimal issues with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. All my issues have been with Adobe XD simply not being that great.
