Changing your old tool to a new one is a smart way to achieve a better result. If you are web designers, considering a new design tool will be captivating. In fact, there are plenty of design tools that you can use, instead of the most familiar one, Adobe Photoshop. Another tool that we will discuss about is Sketch, it is a web design tool which offers you with a good UI result. But before you are interested enough about trying the new one, we suggest you to read our review below, so you can find out if it is a new tool that you need.
- Bugs
The only thing that is very annoying in Sketch is that it has bugs which happen part of the time. No wonder that some of the designers are always teased to go back to PS as this problem will make them throw out some swear words. Here are some of the bugs which are frequently occurred:
- The whole sentence sometimes disappears as a rendering bug when you type and it only reappears after you finish typing.
- Sometimes the unsaved data will be gone and there is no way to find them again unless you saved them somewhere on your computer.
- At some points, it has slow respond, so you need to click even twice or 3 times before it works. It isn’t as smooth as “forward” and “back” in Adobe apps.
- It is provided with autosaves and version control, but both of them only make a medium large size sketch document works really slow. Therefore, trying to disable autosaves and versioning will make it work better. However, the data loss will still happen every time I do not save my works.
2. Sketch is better for UI Design Products
Even though, Sketch comes with some disadvantages, but still it is better for our product’s UI design since when you try to import SVG into PS you will realize that PS does not open SVGs, you cannot exporting something as the drag and drop feature is not available there for us which makes you need to do more clicks to perform tasks in PS rather than in Sketch. Thus, even though it may contain bugs that occur sometimes but it still feels right.
3. Benefits of Sketch
Sketch is seen as more connected to data, code and development. Besides, while people appraise for the new art boards in Photoshop, Sketch already has it. The sketch community is already working on an amazing plug-ins to combine real live data and integrate code into Sketch when Adobe is working on features that Sketch already has. Therefore, I think Sketch is better as it is always one step ahead from adobe PS.
