What do you like best about Figma?
It has a bunch of different tools, like slides, design features, a board, an AI coder, and more. Overall, these make it easier for me to create different things and designs in Figma without much trouble.
It also helps that the software has plugins. They’ve helped me add different things in Figma while designing, like icons or placeholder frames. These plugins also helped when I wanted to shift my Figma design to some different software, like Framer or Webflow, although the transfer doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes things change on their own, like the auto layout, shapes, or positioning.
When there’s no internet, I personally didn’t realize I was working offline, which caused delayed syncs with other people working on the same project. For pricing, I’m on a student account, so I’m not having to pay anything as such, but I do feel the pricing is probably high for a designer in India.
Overall, the app didn’t feel too hard to use. There have been a few confusing moments, like when making slides and switching between slides and design/edit mode, but I guess I’ll get used to it later on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Figma?
I think the app could benefit from having some integrated plugins in a more accessible spot, so I don’t have to keep going back to the Plugins tab and reopening the one I just closed just to get a clearer view of the app. It doesn’t take a lot of time, but it does distract me a bit. For example, it would be nice if I could pin a plugin—like the Phosphor icon plugin—into a side tab myself for quicker access.
Other than that, I haven’t really run into many issues yet, since I’m still exploring the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
