Viewst Reviews & Product Details

Back in the "olden days" (pre-internet) I used to publish classified ad newspapers using WordPerfect macros. Once set up, it was 1 click publishing. By accident, I discovered during my walkthrough with the founder that I could do the same thing with Viewst.

My workflow goes like this.

I build a "shell" of my design from one of the inbuilt templates or from scratch in Viewst.

I export the elements I want to be used in my advert or graphic into a csv file.

Name, price, photo link, and description, etc.

I then "link" the photo in Viewst to the photo in my spreadsheet. I do the same with any changeable items.

Then I simply export either ALL the different graphics or just the current one.

Then I upload each into my auto posting software, and I have months of posts ready to go.

Simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot. The software is new, so it should have its little quirks. A couple of times, I pointed out issues I was reassured that the Viewst team was aware and working on fixes. The learning curve is dead simple for my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Viewst is my first HTML5 creator. This gives me unlimited downloads for HTML5 Banners which is a big plus. I have several grpahic desiging SaaS but none of them give HTML5 Banners. Is worth the price for this feature alone. Also it gives multiple size reiterations for a given design. So you save a lot time here by getting the desired size configurations at a single click. Video banners are a big plus. Animation is as easy as doing a regular Powerpoint. The interface is well organized and very clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now they have very limited ready made templates. Also for custom sizes I could not see the option for adding a template to start your work on. So they really need to add a lot of designs to compete with the big guns in this category. However, this should not be a limitation for a designer, who can design from scratch.

The ability to animate your design PER design! I mean, wow! Really useful and I love it. I use this for all my clients. When a user uses viewst he can quickly see that one design will be applied to all other designs. It kinda mimicks the position. Everything can be altered on 1 design and updated in the others.

Not really anything. It really is awesome! There is always room for improvement in any software, but with this tool I haven't found any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very intuitive and it took me about 10 minutes to create my first design

It is new, but I think that is is very well designed, with a good user interface and enjoyable user experience.

It is designed to help one to get to work quickly and there is good onboarding.

It allows designs to be created in multiple formats, and the animations are easy to use and quite pleasing on the eye.

The web app works quite quickly, which is refreshing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it took some tinkering to figure out where the templates were - and they are still limited, but growing quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very clean and user friendly UI. - I also like the fact that it is not overwhelming with a bunch of options in templates. I firmly believe that once anyone adds their photos and elements that any template becomes your own. There are only so many templates needed and this software is spot on.

There is nothing I don't like. It's perfect for my team as it allows organization of projects and the interface is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the marketing and branding of Viewst. I think that they did a really great job on the usability of the software, which goes a long ways. I find that it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of functionality differs from software like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, however, you can still create nice quality banners for your marketing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is very very simple & powerful to use. Even though it's new, I haven't encountered even a single bug till now. I love the UI/ UX of the app. I love the option of adding multiple team members so that my teammates can have their own access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specifically that I dislike but I would love to see an option to send designs directly to ad networks. This feature is in their roadmap so it should be coming soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that the interface of the app is neat and clean. It is super easy to navigate around, finding the right tool to do things. There are many cutely designed templates to choose from right to start a "Project".

The design tools are plenty and rich. Text can be easily applied, and illustrations / photo can be easily located for a great design.

The animation is simple, yet effective. It can be applied via timeline, with lots of useful effects, including animation, transition. It is a balanced combination of Powerpoint and Video Editor animation, making it easy to do from simple to advanced actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app may crash sometimes in the Chrome browser. No loss of data because automatic saving, but it may be improved for better experiences.

I also expect there would be more animations (though it is enough now). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to export HTML5 banners.

They provided a variety of significant network sizes to work on it quickly.

Able to import from Photoshop

Able to export as PNG, JPG, animated GIF, and MP4.

Simple and straightforward editor to work on the design and animation.

Team members feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No library of stock assets to use, but you can import yours.

It needs more templates, but they are increasing the numbers.

It needs more editing functionality on the animation editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the UIUX and the step of step intro of the platform when you first sign in. Never liked to make ads because I have not been creative. With the templates available, it's just so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need more templates and more animation options. What about looping animations? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
