"Best and the most useful prototype tool available in the market"
What do you like best about InVision?

I like how the clean, quick interface Invision has and I love how you can import files directly from Sketch or Photoshop. I also appreciate that updates are made in real-time and you can see the changes you've made to hotspots applied on the screen the moment you switch from building mode to preview mode. The freehand is really useful when I just want to draw up a quick idea or even take handwritten notes. If you have a touchscreen computer, you can really benefit from this feature.

What do you dislike about InVision?

One big thing is that you can not add a clickable hover state in Prototype mode! This is a feature people have been requesting for over a year. From what I see in forums, the support team keeps saying they will "send it to the devs to see if it's a feature that can be added" but have never followed through. This is an essential feature that is being overlooked. For example, if you want a dropdown menu to appear when you hover over a menu item AND be able to click on the individual menu items in the dropdown this is NOT POSSIBLE in Invision. You can only have one or the other. As a workaround, I have made the menus appear by clicking instead of hovering but it involves importing transparent menus which is clunky and time-consuming. Please fix this, devs! In addition to the freehand feature, I wish there was an option to prototype with custom wireframes with a tool which allows you to choose from wireframe presets and build your site from the ground up that way. Sometimes, freehanding is not really an option. Also, you should be able to directly import files from Adobe Illustrator and Adobe XD as those are more widely used for web design rather than Photoshop.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am very pleased with Invision and I am happy my design team introduced me to its features and functionality. I have used it in many presentations to show clickable, working prototypes of my designs and will continue to do so despite its notable limitations.

"InVision drives interactive prototype design"
What do you like best about InVision?

The application is effective to build prototypes from scratch, also accelerates the design process as it allows you to upload sketches from design tools like Photoshop. It includes tools that improve collaboration: allows you to embed comments on the prototype, sharing design and project management. InVision allows customers to observe in detail the presentation and decide which aspects you like best and what not. So our team can quickly modify the prototype. In this sense, it saves time as it speeds up communication and improves the customer's visual experience.

What do you dislike about InVision?

It doesn't work badly, it's great for managing multiple projects. Although I would like to have more integrations, I think that would enhance the productivity.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an optimal app to design, brings fluidity to our creative process. It improves the experience since the client gets a unique view of the design. The tools that InVision integrates accelerates the design tests and improves the interaction between collaborators and customers.

"Great tool for making websites "come to life" for clients and stakeholders"
What do you like best about InVision?

InVision has some great features like comments, transitions, and desktop syncing to make prototyping quick, realistic, and easy to manage.

What do you dislike about InVision?

I wish there was more flexibility with modern web design features such as a parallax scrolling. Also, adding functional elements (such as text boxes) would help with UX testing.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing our vision with stakeholders before our developers start working has been incredibly valuable. The ability to iterate quickly in a design phase helps to keep us flexible.

"Interactive freedom in designing."
What do you like best about InVision?

Over the course of a few years, InVision has evolved into a fully fledged platform for creative professionals, building an entire suite of applications targetted towards UI&UX designers. What differentiates them from other competitors in this field is most certainly their latest product: Studio. The easiest way of describing it would be a lightweight and more intuitive version of After Effects that outputs completely interactive prototypes to the web.

What do you dislike about InVision?

Sometimes, the installable program is a little buggy, but at least their support team is very responsive and committed to helping you solve the problem.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Greatly reduces friction between designer and developer/client. Provides a better understanding of the finite product with bespoke high fidelity models and an easy to use communication solution through Freehand and DSM which compliments Studio.

"Great prototyping program! "
What do you like best about InVision?

I like that it is fairly easy to use. InVision has a great free trial as well - I like that adding hotspots is flawless and you can control animations and transitions as well.

What do you dislike about InVision?

I dislike that they don't have a good on-boarding or training to get acclimated with the program. I had to teach myself how to use the program which wasn't too difficult but I also think I don't use it to its fullest capability since I haven't found resources.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the connection between me as a UX/UI designer and the developer. Its easy to show the developer how the final product should function and you can leave comments throughout each screen which helps keep everything in the same place and collaborative.

"Great for collaboration and commenting"
What do you like best about InVision?

I love that I can easily share prototypes with clients and other designers

What do you dislike about InVision?

I find the UI a bit frustrating sometimes- I wish there were a more condensed view of all the screens for projects with tons and tons of screens.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to share with clients and get specific pointed feedback is essential to our business

"Best Prototype Software"
What do you like best about InVision?

My favorite Invision feature is that it syncs with Sketch so while designing I can easily load pages to invision to view them in prototype form. It is really helpful for me to see how the design looks when scrolling or on a screen prototype. It also helps when I'm putting together user flow because I can quickly see what needs to be changed to make the screens as intuitive as possible.

What do you dislike about InVision?

Theres nothing about the current design of invision that really bothers me but I would like it if it had more screen transition options. It's also nearly impossible to successfully incorporate micro interactions into prototypes as they seem to always bug out after being dropped into the software.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

When using invision I can quickly and efficiently turn my designs into clickable prototypes. I use Invision for all stages of user testing as it is also easy to share links to prototypes and simple enough for participants to open up and use.

"InVision Detailed Review"
What do you like best about InVision?

Everyone should try InVision because it is a very helpful tool for sharing your designs with the client. With this, you can also make clickable and interactive prototypes to share with the client. When shared with the client, they can also comment on the designs then and there itself. We can even share .gf images. If you want to start a new project and want to share initial concepts or references, you can do it with the mood board. With the latest update, I like the on hover feature which makes it feel like a live website while sharing it with the client.

What do you dislike about InVision?

The only thing I am facing problem is the grouping system. If there was an option to group similar products, it would have been easier to projects and easy to find it.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem I was facing is that the clients were giving feedback in a word document, with this I was not able to track as on which page the feedback is related or for which section. But now with InVision, clients are giving online only by which I know where it is related and what do they exactly mean.

"Great for prototyping your websites and apps"
What do you like best about InVision?

The ability to make interactive prototypes with the InVision's built-in tools, the entire commenting system (it's easy to comment, view comments, and resolve), the plugins with Photoshop and Sketch that makes it easy to upload screens to InVision, InVision inspect that allows developers to review design specs

What do you dislike about InVision?

There are some minor user experience issues - for example, it takes a few clicks to copy a URL of a specific screen to share with a co-worker. Switching between organizations is not intuitive and many of my team members were confused at first. I also found some syncing issues when using the Sketch plugin. Sometimes the screens didn't update.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's really nice for designers to be able to create interactive prototypes and share with developers and product managers. It's a quick and easy way to test the proof of concept and deliver the final designs to developers.

"Do you want real apps? Start with InVision."
What do you like best about InVision?

The prototypes that I have been able to do in InVision are fantastic, at this moment I have the availability to access them from any device, whenever it is necessary. InVision goes beyond a model, creates a real interaction between a possible client or user and the application. Through the configurations we can block screens for a certain user role, it is fantastic because it perfectly emulates a web behavior and we love it. Having control over access levels makes InVision always the main choice for today's mobile and web 3.0 applications.

What do you dislike about InVision?

On the InVision board there is a prototype mode, which allows modifications to the web or mobile design that is desired. Being in prototype mode does not allow me to move from one screen to another, which generates great inconvenience because you want the modifications to be made between screens. I have to devise a way to remember the previous screens with respect to the new modification, it is a cumbersome process, but it is the only one that allows me to advance in the projects. The loading and unloading process of .Sketch or .PSD is extremely slow. It is required to do it in a moment of complete speed of internet, more when there are intermediate images (there are usually many).

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

The feeling of satisfaction observed by the customer is undoubtedly something special for the company, all the prototypes and designs made have the particularity of including many interactions and customers are really impressed. For us it is a pleasure to have a tool of this type that will help us in this design process beyond a model.

"Great Prototyping Tool"
What do you like best about InVision?

Invision does a great job of giving users a lot of options for flexibility to create great prototypes. The design is very intuitive and I can build anything that I can think of! I have not encountered a design that I haven't been able to build yet. The integration with Sketch makes my workflow much easier to keep the prototypes and wireframes updated.

What do you dislike about InVision?

It's not so much that I dislike invision, just a plugin that they created for Invision - Craft. It is a great plugin when building wireframes and prototypes in Sketch, but the syncing has some issues. Sometimes it doesn't sync and gives me an error, but it doesn't give a reason, just "something went wrong." When errors are vague it makes troubleshooting really difficult and frustrating, but I'm hoping all of these issues will be fixed with the release of Invision Studio.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Invision for creating interactive prototypes and wireframes for products that I build for clients. It allows me to create animations and interactions that I cannot achieve for a static prototype. Because it is so easy to use, there is more free time for me to user test and develop the product instead of getting stuck in the details.

"The software that designs creatively"
What do you like best about InVision?

It is a very impressive software and it has all the necessary tools. InVision to be so easy to manipulate helps me to make much more creative designs. It shows a much more modern and fresh image to the company as well as helping to increase the potential of the business. Everything can be customized the way you want. The option of labeling is very good, as well as integrating other applications.

What do you dislike about InVision?

InVision is usually very slow. Almost always the option to integrate other applications has problems. It also has problems when loading very heavy files. The interface is somewhat complicated to manipulate too, which makes it very annoying. Customer support has been an incredible support and has helped me with any problem that presents, which gives me pleasant experiences and avoids any inconvenience whatsoever.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to this software that gave me its tools, the image of my business is much better. Using this software you can create a variety of very creative designs. My clients now think that sharing prototypes is something much more interesting. The benefits have been many, integral InVision to our daily work, create, manage and organize designs based on a participatory work that has made each creation much easier.

"Best prototyping app I ever used."
What do you like best about InVision?

Who doesn't know InVIsion app? it's the best app for UI designer to collect app feedback, brainstorming, create a rough idea. inVision create a plugin in called Craft for both apps (Sketch and Adobe Photoshop) to make designer easily when upload design to inVision plus they also add some feature such as, name, address, article generator, generate images

What do you dislike about InVision?

One thing, I don't like from inVision , it was subscription price a bit expensive for Asian designer.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Yeah, of course. the inVision resolve the gap between client and designer when collecting a feedback and know the flow and interaction.

"Great for design collaboration"
What do you like best about InVision?

Ideal for sharing designs to get feedback from stakeholders. Easy to generate public sharing links. The commenting and tagging features are great. The interface for presenting designs is superior to most other sharing platforms. I have also yet to encounter a better alternative to generating clickable prototypes and hotspots. Invision also has great functionality for creating and sharing moodboards. The Invision Craft plugins for Sketch are very useful. Excited to see try out the additional tools coming out of the Invision ecosystem, including Studio and Design Systems Manager.

What do you dislike about InVision?

Syncing files from Sketch to Invision is often problematic and the tech takes a long time to sync. Invison Sync also frequently crashes or does not perform with large files or a large number of artboards. It's gotten to a problematic point where I mostly push updates in Zeplin.The interface is also sometimes buggy and slow, especially with drag and drop. I wish Sketch artboard names would also update with Invision sync.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Invision allows the various product teams to collaborate on design ideas, catch UX holes, and create a better product.

"Awesome!"
What do you like best about InVision?

Easy on the boarding and simple for the beginner prototypist. Well, how it syncs with sketch. Yet it still has all the hoods and bells an advanced designer wants. Good simple transitions, lots of nice templates.

What do you dislike about InVision?

So far nothing has happened that makes me feel unhappy with this software, they are doing very well.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's fantastic for the usability testing, as customers may see what a working application looks like and yet the modifications are fairly simple to deploy and try again.

"Excellent web design prototyping software"
What do you like best about InVision?

Whether you design mobile apps, responsive web pages, or detailed graphics, InVision allows you to collaborate with your teammates and show your clients prototypes in a professional environment. Now InVision has a plugin for Photoshop and Sketch to make your work easier.

What do you dislike about InVision?

The monthly subscription cost is high, if you do not do a lot of prototyping. However, the out of pocket cost may be small if you consider the cost of developing your own automated prototypes or the effort involved with other prototyping methods.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

I developed a responsive website for a client and used InVision to show the client how the website will look on a smartphone. I could do the same with different types of prototypes. InVision allows you to create hotspots, letting you tap buttons as if you were using a fully-developed app. You can build the application flow right into the prototype.

"Fantastic tool - highly recommended "
What do you like best about InVision?

Easy functionality, perfect for being able to allow me to demonstrate our latest designs to clients before we push them to production to ensure they are happy. Allows our teams to view content in the same place.

What do you dislike about InVision?

Not a huge amount I dislike here, the loading times are sometimes fairly slow, but that could be due to the size of our projects.

What problems is InVision solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to demonstrate our latest designs both internally and then externally with clients is a real benefit for us!
