Hypnotherapist Alternative Medicine ### "SketchWow os really fun and easy !" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 5, 2026 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. 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. 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. It lacks of an auto save feature. It would be nice to be able to use more than one color for some icons. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) I still use Canva for documents, social media images, but I love SketchWow for making timelines, flowcharts for my trainings.

FR Fabian R. Teacher Education Management ### "Great for teaching and making videos" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 18, 2025 Overall very satisfied. I love it and I know I will be doing many videos and lessons using SketchWow. Pros I use SketchWow in the classroom. I can take pictures of PDFs and use the Zoom function as I teach. It is awesome. Also, I do a lot of YouTube videos for my AP students. I just did my first one using SketchWow and I love it. It helps you make smooth presentations, once again using the Zoom function. Cons I think the laser can be improved. It would be great if you can select the laser and have it stay active like you do in Notability. In SketchWow, the mouse cursor shows when you are explaining if you do not hold down the laser.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 11, 2025 It is a solid bit of kit. Totally usable, I opted to upgrade to PRO and completely worth it. Will likely use it for at least my own company. It fits us really well and I can create VERY quickly, and less overwhelming than Canva or others. Pros First, Ease of use. I have been creating training material and content for over 20 years. This is hands-down the fastest workflow of any design software I have used for infographics and diagrams. I am shifting all of my IPs to this form of branding just so I can use the software for them all. Cons One: the sketch vibe is great, and usable, but FEELS like a barrier if your client is corporate modern and you need to change all the assets. So, other templates for different styles would be nice. Two: Cloud saves for your projects. I have NO idea where my files are after moving and changing computers. Now I have to go hunt all my backup drives, or start fresh.

Psychologist Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Psychologist Finds Her New Happy Place With A Piece Of Software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 11, 2025 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. 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. Alternatives considered [Doodly](https://www.capterra.com/p/228844/Doodly/) Reasons for choosing SketchWow I wanted something which was going to be more flexible and give me more options than one specific focus.

Cons i wish i could use it in my ipad at anytime. Switched from [Doodle Maker](https://www.capterra.com/p/10009423/Doodle-Maker/) stupid upgrade fees and some shortcuts is terrible. not many template available.

Owner Marketing and Advertising ### "If you create graphics, you need SketchWow" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 21, 2025 Love it! I enjoy how easy it is to use, the amount of templates, and all of the amazing updates. They overdeliver. Pros I LOVE creating images in SketchWow! I prefer the handwritten fonts in SketchWow over other design tools I use, and the ability to create arrows and icons with a handwritten look is just.too.easy!! Now with the pan-zoom-wow, animation effects, and AI - it's even easier to create really impressive graphics and presentations! I'm so glad I have SketchWow and the lifetime deal cannot be beat! I tell everyone I know who creates any sort of images that they need this. Cons The only thing I kind of wish SketchWow had was a browser-based editor or cloud feature so that I could work on images between my desktop and my laptop.

Versatile: Ideal for everything from pitch decks to educational materials and more. Time-Saving: Instead of starting from scratch, I can insert my content and focus on refining my ideas.
