What do you like best about Lunacy?

Lunacy is stable and multi–OS compatible so I can continue projects no matter what device I have at hand; it has a well–designed interface that allows easy access to the tools I use most. It integrates AI tools that I use to remove backgrounds with a click, generate text and execute smart snippets; it also has offline functionality to keep working smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lunacy?

I had one issue that was fixed with an update, when I used to handle large files Lunacy would sometimes freeze but after the update everything worked perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Lunacy particularly for designing handouts, presentations and classroom resources so I've improved the quality of my communication. It's a versatile tool, capable of handling different file formats which makes–it easy to export my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lunacy?

I love that it is an offline tool and works very fast and efficiently compared to similar tools. It also allows synchronization and working with files in the cloud. One of the advantages I also value is its icon library and its AI background removal tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lunacy?

I find few disadvantages to Lunacy, although it would be great if the prototyping section incorporated new features to improve prototypes, especially in terms of animations and interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lunacy?

I am a huge fan of icon8. I've created many apps using that website. I can say that I am using Lunacy from the beta version. It is like Figma but I can edit images easier and sharing projects is much easier. The tool has almost no limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lunacy?

I would like to have more extensions like in Figma. Lunacy already has background remover, image, and text generator, but as I said I want more public extension. I want to create videos from my designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First I started to use it for my UI/UX design job. Then I started to create posters and ads for my family job. Actually, It is easier than ever. Almost better than canva if we have templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lunacy?

It is an amazing free tool that I use when I have to open sketch files on a PC. Maybe it is not the best UX prototyping tool in the marketplace but it is free that may be very useful for urgency or if your Mac is broken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lunacy?

It is hard to say something negative for a tool that is is free but if it will be better if it could have all the characteristics that the Sketch app has...but maybe then it has to be named Sketch for PC. It has to improve the symbols panel and some other Sketch characteristics to be totally compatible with Sketch files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lunacy:

It is free, what more do you want? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use for opening Sketch files on a PC and I am able to work with those files without almost any issue. It is versatile, fast, intuitive...if you have already used Sketch, of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lunacy?

Lunacy solves a critical problem - editing sketch files in Windows. I was thrilled when I found it because I had no other option to edit sketch files. The team behind the tool has been rapidly improving it. It has all the tools I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lunacy?

I still get critical performance issues when opening larger files, to the point where the app crashes randomly. Plus, there are more than a couple of UI bugs, for example, minimizing and maximizing windows leads to some weird flickering and even parts of the UI disappearing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lunacy:

If you're facing the need of having a solid Windows tool for editing sketch files, then Lunacy is no doubt the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem I'm solving is opening sketch files when I'm not using a Mac laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
