## Reviews

### "Brilliant. More than worth the money spent." — 5.0/5

> **Douette** | *03 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using this software for years now and it is my go to for anything creative. Super easy to master and a lot of fun creating anything from labels to presentations. Using it a lot as a studying aid for my special needs son- the animations change a normal diagram into a interesting easy to remember fun activity. The possibilities really are endless with this ad the AI features have impressed me over and over again.
> 
> **Cons**: I would love for this to be available on me Ipad as well so I can really take it anywhere.
> 
> Amazing software, I use it for EVERYTHING.

### "SketchWow os really fun and easy \!" — 5.0/5

> **Anaïs** | *05 January 2026* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's one-time paiement and is worth it. You can easily drag and drop icons. You can lock arrows and lines to objects so when you move the object, the arrow will move too. It's very good to create timelines, diagrams... I love the hand drawn effect : when activated, you can drag and drop the same icon, it will slightly differ. The icons can be colored, you can add fonts... I love the charts I'm doing with SketchWow.&#10;The customer support is very quick to answer.
> 
> **Cons**: Never enough icons \! I have the pro account, so there are more icons and they recently added more, but still. &#10;It lacks of an auto save feature.&#10;It would be nice to be able to use more than one color for some icons.
> 
> I'm very happy with SketchWow. I love making colorful charts and timelines. It's so easy and fun to use \! The hand drawn effect works very well with my brand image.

### "Psychologist Finds Her New Happy Place With A Piece Of Software" — 5.0/5

> **Katie** | *11 March 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I absolutely love the ease of use as I'm not a graphic designer, or a techie. It's very similar to other drag-and-drop graphics design packages out there which means as a psychologist, I didn't have to spend hours (or weeks) figuring it out in order to use it. I also really love the templates and the option to plug in some ideas you have and get the AI to develop a draft concept. This has come in really handy as I'm currently levelling up all the videos for my clients to make them less sciency and more user friendly so that the necessary foundational, sometimes complicated science slips into their subconscious enabling them to take the actions they need to take to pull themselves out of mental illness and back to a place of being happy.  The hand-drawn and quirky looking graphics completely suit my brand and personality, plus enables my clients to understand that life doesn't have to be taken too seriously, even if you've experienced emotional trauma in your past. My clients have also commented on how easy the videos are to follow on, now they're not 'traditional' presentations. I definitely make a lot of use of the 'draw' function when animating, it is truly one of my faves\! I also experienced their fantastic customer service first hand when my animations weren't saving for some reason (which was thankfully a user error rather than a programme error\!). I have been using it pretty much every day for the last few weeks while I overhaul my video vault and I can honestly say, if I see a presentation, webinar or video not using this software I will feel sad for the person who created it.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be useful to have some more walkthrough videos about what the software can do. Somethings I found out on my own after I'd already done a couple of videos/presentations. I did watch all the ones available - that I could find. So perhaps, think about making them for complete novices/non-graphic design people in mind.
> 
> My overall experience with SketchWow and the StetchWow team has been 100% positive. I was sucked in by the low life-time price and then said yes to all the upgrades before even knowing what I was letting myself in for. I am truly grateful that I did. I genuinely will never make a presentation or video with another piece of software. To all of you at Team SketchWow - a truly heartfelt thank you.

### "Absolutely diabolical, terrible features and UX" — 1.0/5

> **Parul** | *07 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cheap I guess? I didn’t really like anything else about it
> 
> **Cons**: Literally everything. I can’t believe every positive review is real. The software is clunky and has an awful user experience. You can’t open more than 1 window so good luck trying to copy stuff from one file to another\! The templates are so limited and barely have anything canva doesn’t and they are so cluttered and awful. Basically unusable for any of my word.
> 
> Not good I have had to request a refund. Took me too long to learn how to use and I am a fast learner\!
