Sketch.IOReviews of sketch.io

It's a fun tool to use and useful if you have basic requirements but it could use more features like other tools have to offer.

The public documentation available is useful for getting started, but I feel is a bit lacking. It could definitely use more sections and go into further detail on how to use things, but it's still a very useful tool to use and learn from!

I like using sketchpad. It's one of the few apps I can use and I like that I can use it in the browser. But there are major glitches that I've reported before to the bug report. Sometimes if you leave the site and come back, it won't open the file and it essentially becomes lost. It'd be nice if there was some way to have a backup file. There's... ways to work around it but it's really tedious and I tend to forget to. It'd be nice if this bug was fixed by now. Or at least add something like drawings are saved to your google drive if you enable the sync. I'm just... so tired. If I could, I'd use something else until this was fixed. It's a good, free app. At least until they fix the many bugs it has. I'm honestly just... sad. I really like the app but I keep loosing progress. I look forward to them fixing this in the future. Edit: Shortly after posting this review, I was reached out to about my bug report. Ryan Reece was a pleasure to talk to and despite the bugs still being present, he did offer some advice and was a great help. Update: It’s been awhile and they have fixed many issues with stability as far as I can tell! Haven’t lost any pieces and have much less anxiety about work being undone! I would like to see more brushes and functions such as alpha lock alongside a better layering system. It’s still one of the main programs I use though :)

First, bug: After grouping some items, the items seem to jump around and won't reset using undo or reload If I move the screen around a bit on the graph, some lines disappear and reappear When using the color wheel, the color picker jumps around from different shades and hues. The rest is pretty good, especially for a free app. There's a good amount of creative freedom with all the functions it has.

I really like sketch.io, its easy to use straight away and dosnt have a steep learning curve like full featured drawing apps. you can just pick it up and use it. It can be glitchy and there is room for improvement. But its at the right level for me... not totally basic like google canvas, but not impenetrable like adobe stuff.
