## What is Sketch Mirror?

Please note: this is a companion to Sketch for Mac, and requires it to function.

Sketch Mirror lets you preview your Sketch designs on your iOS devices.

After connecting to it from your Mac, you can swipe on your device to navigate between Pages and Artboards. 

Sketch Mirror scales your designs up or down intelligently to fit the screen resolution of your iOS device, and also lets you zoom manually to inspect individual pixels.

You can run Sketch Mirror on any number of iOS devices and connect as many of them as you want to one Mac client. Preview your iPad-sized Artboards on one device while your iPhone mirrors the smaller Artboards.

## Key features

### 2/5 — It’s great when it works which is 10% of the time

*2022-10-28, version 3.3.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-07-05, version 3.3.1*

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

### 1/5 — Gosh, spend some time on it!

*2022-06-21, version 3.3.1*

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!

### 1/5 — Hello?

*2022-06-09, version 3.3.1*

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?

### 1/5 — Always stop working with no reason

*2022-05-25, version 3.3.1*

Nobody knows when or why it will stop working

### 1/5 — Why even release this app?

*2022-05-19, version 3.3.1*

For years… YEARS… almost a DECADE this app has been terrible. Just delete it. Save people the pain of your thoughtless implementation.

### 2/5 — Can’t rely on it

*2022-05-19, version 3.3.1*

When it works, it’s great!

When it doesn’t, it’s always in front of a client. Nothing like the impression I make showing a client a much-anticipated design only to have it show a black screen, only part of a screen, and/or a blurry or distorted screen. Or Sketch and Mirror simply can’t find each other. “Excuse me while I quit and restart everything” is a bad way to start a presentation. 

But when it works it’s great! I like that it can track my current view so i can always (when it works) preview elements on the target device.

### 1/5 — Screens no longer load

*2022-05-18, version 3.3.1*

Screens no longer load after Sketch update 87.1

### 1/5 — Common guys

*2022-05-16, version 3.3.1*

This worked reasonably well, until the latest update of Sketch. 

Before you guys launch an update to the design program, please for the love of god, make sure it’s compatible with this app. It makes it extremely frustrating to design for mobile when the two aren’t in sync.

### 1/5 — Extremely Buggy, and doesn’t work on Sketch 84

*2022-03-15, version 3.3.1*

Sketch just needs to rip Figma’s mirror app off. The Sketch mirror has extremely long load time when it does work.

Currently on Sketch 84 (Mar 2022) this app does not work over wifi or USB.

Honestly ditch Sketch for Figma entirely if your workflow allows you to do so.
