What do you like best about SketchWow?

I love how quick and easy I can create an eye-catching graphic to go with my blog or social posts. The AI tool is decent and the templates are good. But it's so easy to put a URL of my post in and hit the button for a graphic I can easily edit and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

More graphics. The library is okay but I find myself uploading my own graphics more and more. It's easy enough to do, but a better graphics library would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Huge time saver! I write a lot of articles and it's so easy to feed the info or the URL to create a graphic fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about SketchWow?

SketchWoW’s expressive and engaging hand-drawn imagery adds warmth and personality, making visuals more engaging and approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

None noted to date. If I had to nitpick, the sheer number of templates might leave some spoilt for choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I found that many design tools produce visuals so polished they felt almost too slick for the audience I wanted to engage. After a bit of hunting around, I came across SketchWoW, gave it a go, and here’s my experience.

This design tool takes a refreshingly different approach—turning standard presentations, mind maps, and social media posts into something more relaxed yet still engaging. Its hand-drawn aesthetic adds warmth, personality, and just the right amount of imperfection, making content feel inviting rather than soullessly corporate.

The interface is intuitive, and the ready-made templates mean you can create something rather good in minutes—without the usual faff. It strikes a splendid balance: professional enough for serious presentations, yet relaxed enough for social media, ensuring your message remains clear, credible, and refreshingly unpretentious.

In short, it helps me get my message across in a way that’s both visually striking and effortlessly effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

Sketch Wow is very user friendly, and provides a rich and deep portfolio of tools. The creation process is easy, but requires some time to master given the richness of the options available to the user. The creation process is quite intuitive and easy. One of the things I most like about it is that the visual language of the software is very friendly for people of all ages. It is not linear, and animations are easy to use and/or include. I have used other tools such as Canva and Miro, and find that Sketch Wow exudes "creativity" versus a more formal and business templatuzed approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

There is little to dislike about Sketch Wow. I think that one of the "downsides" is that there are so many new featurebeing included, expanded, or introduced that one has to spend time catching up. This is actually a positive, yet somewhat challenging aspect for those of us who are in business, and not necessarily in the creatived fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is allowing me to move away from the more traditional presentation and design platforms, making the messaging more accessible to a broader, intergenerational audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I bought SketchWow Standard with the Pro upgrade back in May 2022. Then, I purchased SketchWow Animate+ and the Monthly Templates Club in February 2024 because I was so happy with the software.

Jason and his team have been amazing in enhancing SketchWow since its initial launch, evolving it into what it is now with presentation function, animation, and AI integration, making infographic creation even faster and way more creative. Users can also add audio files to animate infographics with sound effects.

Overall, SketchWow is easy to use, with plenty of templates to choose from and customize for various uses. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

- It doesn't have many presentation effects or transitions yet, as it’s primarily designed for creating infographics rather than serving as a full-fledged presentation tool like PowerPoint. Typically, users create infographics, download them, and then incorporate them into their PowerPoint presentations.

- It is available for Mac and Windows only. There's no mobile app or cloud version yet as of February 2025. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work as a marketing manager and e-learning course designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

It is unique and offers elements not found in other software currently available. It keeps things simple, offering a real organic vibe, very easy to use, yet offering creative potential usually reserved for more complex software. I enjoy how it inspires me to explore my creativity and quickly and effectively create unique projects for my business. It's the missing piece- fills the gap perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

At this point I find the switching between projects a little awkward, it may be due to my own familiarity with the process- but to that point it seems the UX design has room for improvement to be more intuitive.

I would love the ability to have more than one project open on tabs, with an ability to simply switch from one to another- and to copy/paste elements between each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I enjoy the aesthetics and the animation options with the ease to bring my own elements into the designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I've been using SketchWow since the early days, and it's become a critical resource for me in my work. I do a lot of presentations, mainly with my graphics and custom models. It's the easiest and quickest way for me to capture my thoughts and work out something that will get the job done. I like that it's designed to give me that "hand-drawn" look and feel I want, especially when I am early in the ideation process. I won't immediately know where I want to get to and need to test alternative designs and approaches. The stock components help me go quickly from a thought to something visual quicker than doing freehand drawings or using more complex graphics/drawing packages. In all, it's a serious bargain for the capabilities it provides, and I cannot imagine not having this tool in my workflow! I enthusiastically endorse SketchWow! They do put the WOW! in my creative flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

The only thing I dislike about SketchWow is that it does an online license check every time you open the software. This isn't very pleasant because you must be online to use it. When I travel, there are times that I'd like to work and may not have network connectivity. In those situations, I'm currently out of luck. I hope that the vendor addresses this limitation in future releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is my go-to tool for doing mock-ups, initial concept designs, and constructing/refining models.

It benefits me by helping me stay focused on doing the work and not having to worry about the mechanics of the drawing tool. Its ease of use and flexibility are unmatched for this use case. I've tried a lot of different products, and this one is the best for my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I love the animations the most. The animations breathe life into presentations, transforming static content into engaging visual stories. I can create animation that captures and maintains the audience's attention. I love the animated dotted lines and dashes that help guide the audience as I go through a presentation. Customer Support is excellent!

I also enjoy reading the emails, I must say! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

The only downsides are the learning curve and the time to create the animations. It's not very intuitive, so this causes me to have to spend more time than I would using PowerPoint. I would like to see an upgrade to the animation tool to apply settings to speed up the time it takes to create one animation slide and less fingering, which can tire out the hands. I am hoping with time, that it will become easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am still learning to use SketchWow. My plan is to eventually us this for my weekly presentations that I create as a teacher/trainer and as a content creator for social media posts and video presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I create a ton of presentations, documents and training materials. When I start with a new client or on a new project, one of the most time consuming tasks is getting to a common vision for the look and feel of the materials. SketchWow has made this a more efficient and pleasant process by providing a quick and easy way for me to generate a lot of different samples in a wide variety of styles. Then, when the client finds something they really like, it's easy to generate elements to insert into the final products. Even if the SketchWow materials don't end up as part of the final materials, I'm using their templates as inspiration. A real time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

There are a lot of features, so I've only been able to just scratch the surface! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the past, it's taken a lot of time and effort to generate a wide variety of visual design samples. Now, I just pull from the templates, tweak them to put them into the customer's context, and I have a great showcase for my clients. They've all been very happy with the options I can provide, from professional looking to more informal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I find the templates better than Canva. I find the two products together make everything that my InDesign Specialist at work takes a week to do. I find the programme extremely fast to make my graphic ideas come to life. It was easy to start using. I am doing presentations at work all the time and this makes me look highly skilled and creative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchWow?

I'd like to be able to export into power point or Canva. I would like to be able to have my brand colours and fonts easily useable similar to Canva. That would be a perfect world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It gives me more options in how I can present my technical writing thoughts in an engaging way. I write tenders for the contruction industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SketchWow?

I was skeptical for months, wondering if their product was as good as what their marketing proclaimed. I did purchase knowing I could change my mind, but actually once I saw and starting it, I was hooked.

The AI tool actually works! Once you start using the tools, you will see that your old presentations are now like plain oatmeal.

Go from using boring internal documentation to having documentation that people axeuallt want to read and can follow. Your presentations have never been the same. I even using it organize my thoughts when I creat - skeptical for months but I have zero regrets purchasing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
