SketchWow Reviews & Product Details

I knew I wanted to buy SketchWow based on the promotions I received from the company. They were all made with SketchWow. But I foresaw a problem: I was managing partner of a New York advertising agency staffed with art directors and an art studio that employed 8 smart, talented people. It was my secret wish to have the talent to draw and sketch like those men and women.

But, alas, I'd never be like any of them. I'm "left hemisphere." Besides, they were at my beck & call to illustrate and sketch the decks we'd build for the agency's pitches.

So, what the heck, I bought and installed it anyway. Of course, it "sat" silent in my PC for weeks. But I came into the office (O often used as my "classroom") one day for the sole purpose of learning to use SketchWow. Ideas came to me, but a fully functional working grasp was elusive. Determined to learn, I kept at it, and by the end of that Saturday, I felt I "got it." I was able to use SketchWow! And I now use it for almost every pitch deck we make.

I've since "retired" but have gone off on my own. And I can draw/sketch/illustrate or whatever you want to call what the software does! (Can you tell? I'm very pleased with myself!)

I credit SketchWow with the way my pitches and presentations captivate the attention of my prospects and clients. And, as a result, the rate at which my new little one-man agency has grown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though there are great, detailed tutorials, I was late in finding them. But be assured, you'll find them with ease (pro tip: don't multitask).

I'm not certain this is a "dislike," but new features are introduced regularly—brilliant ones! I no longer have an office to drive to use to learn from the tutorials, but I typically have to reserve a Saturday to study the new ones. (It's worth it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sketchwow is easy to use due to the great selection of templates and shapes to get you started. The shapes can be customized in size, colors, line types, and much more, so you can have them represent your brand. The AI function comes in handy when you want visuals created based on, for instance, your blog post. Sketchwow offers excellent customer support and frequent releases, ensuring you always have the latest version without additional charges! This tool is so easy you will use it daily. The installation is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of saving of your brand identity, font type, line style, colors, etc. Now, you have to define them every time you design a visual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
