It’s great when it works which is 10% of the time

I need to use this app because it’s incredibly helpful as a designer, however, I can only get it to work when I delete and reinstall the app. When I do that it’ll work for about a day and then I’ll have to re-delete and re-download in order to use it again.

Why?

Why is this app not important to you guys. It’s extremely important yet barely works… boo!!

Gosh, spend some time on it!

Gosh, make the polishing of it finally! It is so f'mmm laggy and buggy...

Sketch team, spend your time to improve experiences of what you have and what your customers already use! Only after chase Figma or other competitors! There is a whole bunch of small experience things needs to be polished in Sketch and Sketch Mirror before any other new functionality you should even think off... This race you are in with Figma leads nowhere. Only loss product quality and stability and, as result, loss of customers because of that!

Hello?

This app has the potential to be a strong tool in developing with sketch for mobile. But it seems the Sketch team just doesn’t care. It hasn’t been updated in more than a year. And as all the other one-star reviews point out, it works half the time. Can you clowns just fox the bloody app?
