"Best companion for design accessibility testing"

What do you like best about Stark?

I mostly use the Figma Stark plugin to check the designs I create for the company I work in. It has a lot of unique features that helps me really get the accessibility right, like the vision emulation (to check, for example, color blindness and touch targets). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

The feature I least use is the auto fix because I sometimes feel like I'm losing control over the designs; I prefer to check the different aspects one by one to make sure I don't miss anything and I can improve the overall design in a structured way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined and Essential"
5/5
What do you like best about Stark?

The Stark plugin for Figma is a game-changer for color accessibility in UX design. Its streamlined interface and powerful contrast analysis features ensure that my designs meet the highest standards of inclusivity. It seamlessly integrates into Figma, making it an essential tool for any UX designer. I appreciate how easy it is to understand and implement, enabling me to use it confidently and frequently in my design process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin. This limitation often requires me to memorize or take screenshots of the values to manually transcribe them into my design. The ability to copy and paste values would greatly streamline the workflow and improve productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hey Sanna!

Thank you for leaving this review. You said: "One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin." → can you say more about this? Right now in the contrast checker you can indeed grab the value of a particular color — even after selecting a new suggestion.

Would love to know what you're experiencing so we can dive into that!

What do you like best about Stark?

I love that stark can easily plug into my existing workflow within Adobe XD. I also like that it doesn't just provide warnings and alerts for compliance issues; it provides suggestions to improve the output. My whole team uses this and together it helps us keep compliant across our brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

For XD, I would love to see a persistant panel where I can always see the status of my current selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple, efficient and elegant way to rapidly test designs for accessibility needs. We've built this into our SOP and is used through the enterprise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like keyboard shortcuts, or a better way to keep the plugin open without it interfering with the canvas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Accessibility Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Stark?

Stark is a super user-friendly tool in Figma, and has been a game-changer for accessibility. I especially love the Scan feature, which I use all the time. It allows me to quickly identify and fix contrast issues directly within Figma. Using Stark definitely streamlined my design process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

One downside is that it cannot determine which contrasts are necessary for specific elements. This means you need to have a good understanding of your design's hierarchy and manually assess which elements require contrast adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cat Noone of Stark

Thanks for giving us this feedback. Really glad Sidekick has been so beneficial for your team. We definitely understand that more complicated design elements require you to get a bit more manual. We're working on a few things to solve this for a variety of complex UI elements.

"Comprehensive tool for a shift left approach to accessibility from the start"
5/5
What do you like best about Stark?

As a plugin integrated with Figma, I can design with accessibility from early in our design process. I often use Stark to evaluate contrast and touch target sizes. In addition to being my go-to tool for checking the basics, I love the annotation features coverage of the web, native iOS and Mac, Android, Windows, and freestyle notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

Due to the extensive range of Stark's design tools, the Figma plugin sometimes has performance issues and causes my computer to slow down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cat Noone of Stark

Vernon! Thanks so much. Glad you're enjoying the annotation coverage and new features.

Certainly going to look into the performance slowing things down and see what could be potentially causing it (from our end).
