InVision App Reviews

It was very easy to find dimensions , color codes and Screen configurations for App Screens.

No ability to create a flow diagram out of all the screens available . have to go screen by screen to look for overall flow.

I liked the rich set of templates, the version control and the ability to import sketches and images for inclusion in work flows. The software is intuitive to use with some useful short-cut key assignments.

I would have liked to have seen comments from other collaborators appearing in the design document in real-time. The ability to rotate objects when working in freehand is not supported (a minor annoyance), but it is good to hear that this is a feature that is being considered for the future.

It's easy to use, not complicated, and affordable for teams. It does one thing and does it well. I hope they'll continue to add more templates.

Lack of templates to start with; I hope there will be more templates coming in the future.

InVision is a great tool to show case the new features and tools that our Product team is building. I use InVision to upload my potential product designs to bring to my user interviews. InVision makes it super easy to share a prototype link with a potential user to have them click around what the product might look like and give real time feedback.

The annotation tool is a bit confusing to me. It also is cumbersome to link together all the pages, especially if you have a complex tool that you are trying to piece together.

Indispensable graphic design tool. Great for project Management between remote team-members.

Limit of project numbers you're able to work with.

It helped me to create interactive and dynamic prototypes to present them to stakeholders so they can see the apps before the development process.

It is expensive for designer who is working individually to purchase the full version.
the free version is limitted.

The ability to collaborate, test and experiment with designing templates and ideas on a digital dashboard.

Premium version is quite pricey as users need to spend more to get more features

It's very user-friendly, so it's easy to use and manage the designing tools.

It served its purpose—no complicated issues.

Very user friendly user interfaces. You can view the edit history of the page anytime.

Worked with InVision for several years and don't have anything to complain.

I love being able to create vision/mood boards with it. There's a lot of variety and so much you can do.

This isn't necessarily a con, but it does take a bit of a learning curve!

There are many advantages of Invision and one of them being integrations. It integrates with some popular design tools like Sketch, Photoshop, Adobe XS, etc. Invision also offers a huge library of UI Components and templates so designers can easily customize specific needs.

As of now, I haven't found any cons for Invision. Some settings are hard to take grasp at the beginner level but overall it is perfect.

Ease of use to prototype. Free trial shows basic capabilities, useful for simple projects or draft prototypes.

It is hard to guess additional features provided by a paid subscription by just seeing the free trial. It's unsure if the paid version is worth it.

InVision is a tool that is great to present designs to your clients and communicate with them effectively. Before existing InVision, making a design proposal was a lot of effort: capture a jpg, send it, the client will pass it to PDF, make notes on that document to send it back with feedback All this process, which may sound like prehistory, is relatively recent. However, since InVision exists, you can directly upload the project you are doing, you can update it, and the client can leave comments on the same design.

Another thing that I love is that it allows you to order all your projects in a single screen, as a private portfolio to have everything perfectly organized.

A handy feature that InVision has is that it allows you to update the designs using the integrated Craft plugin in Sketch. Through the "inspect" tab of invision, frontends can access design styles and assets.

I also really like the boards as an inspiration tool, to make a quick portfolio or as a style guide so that the client can know colors, typographies, logos, etc.

The price, because if you are a freelance is a bit expensive and the free version only allows you to upload one project.

A feature called Freehand in which you can theoretically comment on a design with the client live via videoconference, but it has never worked well for me.

I would like the boards could be integrated with other applications like Pinterest or Instagram so that the process of uploading and storing images is easier.

Workflows, I do not use them because we have trello.

I love the Sketch integration. I regularly plot out an interactive flow in a Sketch file, make use of the Craft by Invision plugin and map out all of the interactive elements and which screen they should go to from within my Sketch file, then use the upload button to create a new prototype. I also use the Live Embed feature to place images in Confluence pages. What this means is that my designs are always up-to-date in multiple places. My team mates and stakeholders love the ability to comment directly inside a shared prototype, and this is a great way for me to engage them within a fairly high-context environment and also for them to see that feedback is being addressed. I've recently started using the hotspot templates which has also been incredibly useful for certain scenarios. It also has a similar integration with Adobe Photoshop, but I have never used it.

The biggest thing that is missing with Invision, for me, is that the (web) prototypes are very primitive. They are basically clickable slideshows, with some minor interaction options like layering with animations for menus etc. It unfortunately breaks down the moment I need to prototype anything with independently scrolling divs or sticky elements (not including headers/footers). I would love to see a feature where symbols in Sketch could be used to define :hover styles and generate the additional screens needed for that, to make prototypes feel much more responsive. At the moment, for anything slightly more interactive than a standard flow, I have to resort to coding a prototype in Jsbin or similar (and hosting it)

I love Invision app because it helps me organize the systems I am creating. When I am working with automations, tagging, integrations between systems, and manual steps as well, having a visual map of sorts with symbols and notes helps me keep things straight. I love being able to embed other documents s as well. The free version is robust and the paid is inexpensive.

I am still relatively new to the software but have found nothing about it so far that I really don’t like.

We have been using InVision App for more than 2 years. Its a great tool to easily create prototypes from your designs. It is easy to share within the team, and the comment features are great which helps us in getting feedbacks.

When you view the designs in a mobile version, it is not too easy to view the screens

I really enjoy how easy this product is to use. Having never used it to using it almost on a daily basis, it's become our "go-to" tool for displaying design, communication for annotating wireframes and a method of communication between the company and the client.

I wish that there were the ability to create project folders. Especially when you have a handful of people creating prototypes, it can be difficult to find the prototype you want. When you do request a feature, you get fed back a script of how they will add it to the feature list and if enough people want it, they will consider adding it to the product. When asking about the status of such request, you will not get a straightforward response.
