User interface/experience design - collaborative and creative
I have ordered figma and figjam maockups in the past from freelancers and contractors for web apps, Uis, and mobile paplications. I have been able to successfully import them all into Pixso with 100% original design functionality. This took less than a minute to do. This is a matured product, i am suprised more people havent purchased it. I purchased T3 Boardmix, which was also made by this team, which I use everyday for brainstorming and mindmapping porject ideas / book notes & videos. THis has the whiteboard fetaures of boardmix, in addition to being able to make fantastic web mockups, ios/android app simulatoins, and design killer UX. It's truly a no-brainer. If you have boardmix already, I'd still at least get the introductory tier, as it's simply too good a software to pass up. Is it perfect? No. Is it near-perfect? It really is. They update constantly and take user feedback very seriously. Great team. Active Discord. Telgram was good for awhile, but users kept spamming it with basic questions and treating it like customer support, which it wasnt for. Discord is great and well-organized though.
In short, simply amazing!! Besides having almost all the design features of Figma, I love whiteboarding, project collaboration features, importing files from other tools, among others... I wish the Pixso team the greatest success because it is a great project!!! At least take a look and you will see the potential :)
Normally , I don't write any review OR comment because it is hard to built a good tool and we should appreciate the work, I am using Broadmix and this Pixso as well. And Almost love your products... However when we start the project or file it take time to load, it can be improved little bit which can make a big difference.. May be I am in Australia and you don't have any server around this side of world. if you can do about this. it would be appreciated.. By the way best of luck .. And Keep this alive :) DONT just disappear
I bought this a few minutes ahead of a meeting where I had realised that this type of tool might be really useful for the current scenario. No time to test it, or even learn it before the meeting, so I just flew by the seat of my pants, documenting the scenario we were trying to address, and found this a fantastic simple to use tool that got us to where we needed to get to.
I’ve a number of other uses already in mind for this because of the speed to allows me to create what I’ve tried.
Have I tested every feature? No. Have I found anything confusing, and been unable to fix it, yes, but totally my fault I suspect. Some of the features are really cleverly done, to make a simple end user experience. I’m very happy with my purchase and I look forward to exploring the product further moving forward.
Thanks for coming to AppSumo.
I know this tool is generally cheaper than Figma, but I wouldn't recommend it for the following reasons:
1. It has the most frustrating AppSumo activation setup experience I've ever encountered.
2. There are pixel issues with circles, where strange lines automatically appear around them, making all designs look unappealing.
3. Each time you launch the macOS app, the login box appears every time.
4. It is not possible to export as a Figma file, which makes collaboration with other users difficult.
5. There are some DMS/Proxy issues; when I try to use it over the workplace network, it continuously loads without granting access to the files.
6. I miss the iPad app; currently, you can only work from a browser on your iPad.
7. The overall performance is poor; it seems to move slowly.
This tool is easy to use. And the pricing is fair. I bought because I get similar value as Figma but without the recurring fees.
Pixso is has a near-identical interface to Figma, making transition seamless for designers who are familiar with Figma. While Figma is starting to restrict usage on free plans, our decision to invest early in Pixso's unlimited team projects and file pages looks promising.
Ok, so I’ve been using this app for a while and since I’d used Figma before for a years, picking this up just felt natural, for the most part. There’s some bugs to work out and I’d like to hear more from the team, like I do from other products like Boost.space and Webstudio. They are usually very responsive, but I don’t get that from here, so the community helps one another.
Gripes aside, it’s been an amazing app to use and would definitely make me forget about Figma entirely. It’s been great being able to import Figma files from templates in this app, and then there’s the plugins that just compliment your work and help your workflow.
I’d buy this again and promote if they had an affiliate program.
For the first time in years I'm considering stopping my Figma subscription.
I switched years ago from sketch to Figma and never looked back, but then arrived Adobe to make everything worse.
Since Figma has become an Adobe product I haven't seen a single upgrade that was meant to make my "single freelance working by myself" work easier. Everything they did was for teams and teamwork, and I couldn't care less. And the reason of course is XD! Adobe always try to split their market on different products, and they decided that Figma is the tool for design teams and focus their efforts on this.
I would have switched before, but the alternatives were not on par with Figma. I've tested all of them.
This is the first time I see a product so good to consider the switch.
Yes, I know, the UI is strongly "inspired" to Figma, but who cares? The software has been developed by scratch by a different team, so I'm sure that after the smart move to start "on the shoulders of giants", it will take the distance in the long run.
For example, it already integrates a good "design 2 code" plugin to generate flutter and Swift code, ready to send to the developer; and it's far more than what Figma has done after all these years of development with their silly "developer mode". Why am I saying this? Because if Pixso was just a Figma clone, they would never prioritize this tool over other features.
Thanks Pixso for the effort, and please keep on with the good work!
Pixso is not only faster, but it also boasts incredible responsiveness, a user-friendly interface, and a lightweight design. It outshines Figma in terms of power and doesn't experience any lag when collaborating with multiple users.
