"Amazing platform to Learn UX/UI Design and other skills related to UX"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

The gamification of the entire learning process makes it easier and faster to learn. Creating leaderboard gives each individual the competitive boost to frequently come back to the site and finish their courses or any other activities, which helps the user to be consistent and make the process fun as well. I have already recommended a lot of my colleagues use Uxcel already! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Pretty much none of them I dislike. Just maybe the job portal could have more variety of jobs offered, which can help new and upcoming designers get decent job. Not criticizing here because having a job portal on its own is a very big deal, with time it will definitely grow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gamification at its best!"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

I love the arcade option in Uxcel- it is an excellent practice to train a designer's eye.

Gamification presents a wonderful challenge to do more and excel. It is gratifying and satisfactory to learn this way.

I also love the additional tips after the explanations while answering questions.

The overall UI of the website is pleasing and very intuitive. I find myself easily breezing through the material. Scannabiliity is on point.

The Beta version of the Designr in mobile app is a great way to learn and apply what we learned on the go. These small challenges help build skills and are so much fun.

Achieving the perfect score motivates us to do better every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Nothing so far. They keep updating new courses and lessons. So looking forward to see more courses on design tools & technical aspects like SEO etc., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Only platform that focuses on quality"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

Uxcel provides a wide selection of excellent courses and educational programmes. I saw the challenges that were more like those in the real world as the cherry on top. They really helped me understand where I stood as a UI designer, which was helpful because I'm a rookie. With its captivating, game-like approach to UX design education, Uxcel excels. Learning doesn't feel like a work when it's broken up into manageable chunks and interactive tasks. I really love the way I learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Although I like Uxcel's self-paced learning approach, there isn't an integrated component that allows you to connect with mentors or other students. With a community or mentorship element, this platform might be helpful for self-paced learners, particularly newcomers who might run into difficulties and need advice. For a more comprehensive educational experience, I want to see these collaborative aspects added to the platform in the future. The job board is not that good, it could have more features and opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing for UX designers of any level"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

With Uxcel you can get a deep understanding of a wide variety of UX/UI subjects in a fun, interactive way. One of the best things is that the lessons are bite-sized, which makes it easier to comprehend the topic and progress in your education relatively quickly.

Another thing I find valuable about Uxcel is how it gives you a detailed skill graph that depicts your current strong areas and the ones you could improve. Based on this analysis, Uxcel suggests different lessons to help you build on your "weaker" skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Until now, I can't say I have found anything negative about Uxcel. It's a great learning platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My favorite learning platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

With recent changes at my work I found myself transitioning from Technical Writing to UX Writing and UX design.

I already had some experience but wanted to learn more so I could adapt and excel at my new role.

I tried a free lesson and right away purchased a whole year. That's how much I liked it.

I love the following things:

- Short focused lessons

- Easy to save important things for later reference

- High quality information and sources

- Awesome interface

- The iOS app is great for learning everywhere

- The certificates are recognized in my company and apparently everywhere

- The skill chart because it gives me a clear interpretation of my skills and the areas I need to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Not everything is available from the app. I mostly use my cellphone to learn in Uxcel and the fact I can't access things like the skill chart is annoying.

Additionally, in the app, there are no clear cues that tell me there's another option when I'm making a test so I have to scroll by counting the options, and sometimes the timer is covering the text of an answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall a great tool for learning"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

Already from a designer's persective I thorouhgly appreciate the clean interface that Uxcel has. It is easy to find what you're looking for, they have a helpful universal search, and each page is easily readable and digestible.

The gamification can be fun, though I moreso appreciate the extensive library of courses and lessons that Uxcel has. Seriously - you can find just about anything you might be looking for related to design/research/etc. on there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

Like I mentioned, the gamification aspect can be fun, and I understand the idea of 'challenges' especially when you sign up with your team - though sometimes I feel this has the opposite affect on me then what the Uxcel intended. Sometimes I get competitive and it motivates me to get on and practice, but sometimes if I've fallen behind that week due to a busy work week, I feel as if I've been slacking off, etcetera. This isn't necessarily anything that Uxcel did wrong, but just a note that this kind of method works for certain people, so just be aware of that. :)

The questions on your assessment to see what level you're at/develop your skill graph also seems to be luck of the draw. Some assessments I'll have really easy questions, and some I'll have questions with concepts I've never heard of it. I'm not sure what the logic is behind the assessment, but sometimes I worry it's not a very clear picture at your overall skill level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy learning"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

The platform offers a comprehensive range of courses, covering everything from the fundamentals of design principles to advanced techniques in user research and prototyping. What sets Uxcel apart is its interactive approach to learning, with hands-on projects and real-world case studies that allow you to apply what you've learned in a practical setting.

I've personally benefited greatly from Uxcel's courses, and I can confidently say that it has played a significant role in my career development as a UX/UI Designer. If you're serious about mastering UI/UX design, look no further than Uxcel on GoodWork." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

One aspect that I found slightly lacking is the diversity of course topics. While the existing courses cover a wide range of fundamental and advanced concepts, there could be more specialized courses tailored to specific niche areas within UI/UX design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Uxcel way for continuos learning"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

Uxcel made my role as a Design Lead way more accessible by providing the evaluation tools and guided upskilling my team needed. No other tool helped me understand each of my team members in detail and allowed me to mentor them as Uxcel does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

As it grows, I must keep up with every update and adapt my plans accordingly. It's getting better, helping me stay focused on each of my team members' progress. I'd love more ways to manage and visualize each one's progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for learners and teachers alike, any level of experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Uxcel?

Uxcel is my favorite way to learn and brush up on design principles. The material is presented in short form cards with a casual exam format, prompting users to thinking criticallly before being presented with additional context and qualifying evidence. The format makes it quite easy to do it a every day, taking just 5 minutes or less to maintian a streak and make measurable progress. There is a great community avalibable through Discord as well.

I quite enjoy the visual way questions are proposed with the short paragraphs following. It helps both me learn, and also junior designs who I work with. I have often shared my screen and gone through a lesson or two to educate a team member on design principles relevant to designs we discuss. The training and education portion of Uxcel is where it truly shines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Uxcel?

However, after using Uxcel for approaching 2 years now, there is not an infinite amount of content. There are some infinite, arcade style challenges available, but these will not provide enduring value for most people. However, I do still go back to lesssons and visuals for occasional reference. There are also design challenges, many of which I haven't done, as I disagree with the critieria with which they can be graded and are completely subjective to the reviewer.
