Can’t access creative cloud files and missing fonts
Can’t access creative cloud files!! And fonts are sometimes missing and sometimes available..Lindamxin
It ready for prime time
Although the desktop version looks promising, this mobile effort doesn’t feel fully implemented yet. There was no clear way to get my desktop file over to the mobile. And there is no way to make prototypes from scratch on mobile. It says use the cloud or connect to the desktop computer, but my work machine cloud ID is different from my mobile and the work machine is locked down so I cannot connect they mobile to the desktop. Adobe’s walled garden is not ideal. Avoid until they work out the kinksShow lessmartoon
Needs Editing Capability
When I first saw that XD was available on iOS I was excited that I would have yet another platform I could edit my design in, keeping my process inside the Adobe suite.
I am completely disappointed that the app is little more than a viewer. Having an app that would allow me to effectively develop interactions on iPad would put Adobe on par with its competitors.Show lessEnigmaverse
Used to love this app but...
With the latest update, I know longer have any idea how to exit a specific project, or even view all the screens in the current project.
I used to be able to do both these things with a simple long press on the screen, but now all this does is have a blue bar appear on the very top of the app, which I assume is meant to signify some sort of voice command?
Anyways, this app is unusable in its current state, and i will leave my 1 star rating until something changes.Show lessJoshadik307

Hi Josh, I'm guessing you didn't read the on boarding graphic that came up on first load of a document :). We use a three finger tap now to bring up the menu rather than long press. Long press is now used to activate microphone input for voice triggers (which you can author in XD desktop). In the future, the trigger for microphone will be configurable, and you will be able to use long press to trigger other interactions. We choose 3 finger tap because its less likely to conflict with future author defined interaction triggers. Hope that helpsNice start. Needs work
I was elated when Adobe announced this tool. I was hoping it would be more robust. I’m sure they will continue adding new features along the way. But as for now. Too many crashes, bugs and lack of features to call it a “prototype” tool. Looking forward to the next updates.Mattcat187
This app is pure garbage
How is this app 5 stars? It is virtually unusable. It caches old art boards that are impossible to purge and restarting the app does not help. Working on your prototypes/wireframes is a nightmare with this thing. Also, you already have a developed product that is 100% identical! Adobe Preview works great on Photoshop! So why not use it in XD? Why creat the same thing twice, but making the second version absolute trash? Just use Preview in the desktop version of XD! Your company is NOT efficient!Show lessstan_alexander
Good, but so much more potential
Often this app is very slow and does not even allow me to preview documents, which is currently its only functionality. Since it can’t do this, I deleted it. Is this going to be fixed? I am using an iPad Pro, and it doesn’t work on my Google Pixel phone either.
For me the features that would take this to the next level would be the ability to create wire frames and prototype them right here on the iPad Pro and have a seamless sync into mechanism across iOS and desktop software so that you could create on both devices whenever, and wherever.Show lessaberrantartist

Hi, Can you send more details on the inability to preview and slowness to xdmobilefeedback@adobe.com? We have not been able to reproduce, even for very large files on lower end devices. Perhaps it’s something specific to your project. One thing to watch out for when loading from Documents tab/cloud are excessively large bitmaps(bigger than the resolution they will be displayed at). Big bitmaps mean long download times if you are not on WiFi Thanks for your feedback on editing capabilities in the app, I’ve forwarded on to the engineering teamExcellent!
This app is such a vital tool for our design process. It works flawlessly and lets us see exactly what our designs and UX feels like on a device.StarlaSaz
Interesting...
I see some glaring additions that would make this more solid. Having that being said, I really dig the ability to view on devices while laying out, it’s crazy easy...dancamera
This doesn’t work
Adobe has been pushing a lot of crappy updates recently. This is just the latest. Once you preview an XD file in this app you are locked in. There is no getting out of that view. Not to mention that the view couldn’t display custom fonts and the layout wasn’t even close to representing what I designed. Agile doesn’t mean push crap and fix it next time.Show lesscardmac
