I love how clean the UX is, the ease of set up and interactivity
Only gripe is that when using for user testing I often hear or watch users have difficultly finding the page/slide arrows. Could simply just be a lighter color.
It's been integral for our user testing and understand how customers use our products
Incredibly simple to learn, a beautiful UI/UX
It crashes more often than I would like (but sometimes it's a browser issue).
Redesigning software, creating a mobile application prototype, and web design layout.
Its integration with Sketch via the Craft plugin is seamless. The ease-of-use within the app is also very easy to pick up and understand. Adding screens and hotspots enables the creation of quick, testable prototypes.
Every so often the service goes down (due to its large userbase). And some power-user features UX issues tend to not get fixed (like selecting a screen for overlays among 50+ screens is cumbersome).
InVision enabled the company to get away from sending JPGs and PDFs and preview designs in a much more realistic format — whether it's in the browser or an app window. This has been a huge benefit to the company in itself. Seeing things in context changes how clients and colleagues interpret and interact with the design — feedback is much more helpful.
I love how it allows the client to see the designs as they would look in a live environment so feedback is more accurate.
Sometimes uploading screens is slow or it freezes mid upload. Also, I have no idea how much storage space I have left at any time and must contact customer support if file uploading is slow to see if file storage is the issue.
It's a much more efficient way to share designs across the company and with clients. Feedback loop is much more quick and accurate. It allows for more collaboration across teams. Removes the old way of emails with screen shots.
I use Invision actively - we don't just use it for UX purposes, but for general design. I love the near-instant updates, GDrive syncing, and the share-ability of the product.
Sometimes syncing is a little off and the onboard learning curve was a bit steep for me with minimal support. I've heard they've rolled out onboarding materials since. Large projects can become very slow.
Less business waste, tracking contributions, and more. Able to be shared to outside dev easily and updated on the fly.
I've been using Invision for years and they are always coming out with updates and changes to make their prototyping and workflow better than before.
I wish some of my non-design coworkers could learn Invision easier, since it takes a bit to learn the tips and tricks, since it's such a powerful program.
Showing non-designers what a product will look like without having to spend all the time to make it a complete one (prototyping). Otherwise, it's the best collaboration program between designers and devs.
I've tested several tools that offer most of the same features, but InVision takes the cake each time. Their experience is extremely solid and the tools are invaluable—not to mention their support is super helpful.
There are some aspects of the interface I don't love, but it's not enough to prevent me from using the product.
I mainly use InVision for the newer Inspect feature, and even though it's only in beta, it's already been working smoother and more solid than other tools that offer this feature-set exclusively.
The ease of use is great, I was able to pick it up very quickly without the need for help docs. InVision also updates with new features pretty regularly. InVision also created craft a plugin for sketch that not only helps connect sketch to InVision but also adds extra features to sketch.
I was hoping for InVision to release a WYSIWIG tool after they acquired MACAW. You cant create a project with multiple screen types (like desktop & Mobile views). It would be also helpful if they added functionality for fixed elements within the page (like their fixed footer/header feature).
I create websites and apps. Invision helps bring the design screens into a user flow.
The ability to download a plugin and use it inside of photoshop, that way when our sales team is in another city, they can help me make real time adjustments to design which in turn creates a quick turnaround and better customer satisfaction.
There is a bit of a learning curve for the other end user, trying to explain to other people on how to use it can be frustrating at times.
I'm the sole designer for my company and this allows me to turn out products faster and more efficiently.
This is a great tool. i love using invision for my projects. Makes thing feel real.
That I need to be connect online to work on it.
Interaction details.
I have been using Invisiom for the past few months now and I am loving it. I have been using sketch software and with the help of the craft plugin I can connect sketch and incision together.
There are few bugs in the cray plugin that can easily mess up your incision prototype so I am hoping that gets sorted out.
Presenting a complete interactive prorotype helps the business understand the whole product and how the users are going to interact with it.
The UI is perfection. It works fast, simply, and everything's clear. My clients love it.
There's not much that I can think of to dislike.
Mockup and design review with multiple clients.
I like how easy it is to put something together from slide to slide. I also REALLY appreciate the fact that you can use more than use the basic file types. They allow for AI and PSDs so you don't have to convert to a bunch of raster images just to upload. It does it for you! That alone is invaluable. I use it mainly for wire framing up website mock ups and connecting each slide is super easy and the Template option to add the same link locations is HUGE so you don' have to add each one over and over. InivisonApp has been a great tool to help communicate my ideas.
I can't think of many flaws with the Invision app itself, and I didn't set it up initially so I'm not sure if they have this but a nice walk through of all the features would be nice. I seemed to figure things out as I went, which was easy enough.
Sharing web design concepts and customer flow. We've been able to come together and work on projects seamlessly.
fast, intuitive, the real look and feel experience. There is simply an easy way to to prototype and InVision got it right, upload 2 images, one as starting point, the other as the end point. Click on the start point, choose the prototype tool, mark the spot, and link the end point. Do this for every possible combination and you have a walk thought.
I sometimes loose track with the many screens it can possible has, that i start making my own drawn maps, I wish In Vision could have a way to see the whole project as a site map experience.
user interface, creating a better and faster experience to become a member of out loyalty program. In Vision not only helped us to create a walk through the new login, but also we showed this to the sales team and other executives outside the project, to test it, with positive results.
Using InvisionSync allows me to design mulitple pages, save my progress, and upload for review just by pressing the save button. Any changes that I make update within seconds. No more exporting each page as a jpg, then combining into a PDF and emailing for internal or client review. This is so much more streamlined.
There's not much to dislike with InVision! We really love this app.
We've saved so much time & money using InVision. We can now comment on designs internally, iterate and present to clients all within one app.
