## What is Sketch?

We’ve rebuilt our Mirror app from the ground up to offer a more flexible, reliable and feature-rich experience with Sketch.

With Sketch on your iPhone or iPad, you can:

→ Sign in to every Workspace you’re a part of (with SSO and 2FA support)

→ Browse projects and explore documents — anywhere, anytime

→ Play prototypes and test out ideas on a real device

→ Mirror the document you’re currently editing on your Mac

→ Explore documents with a full canvas view

→ View, create and respond to comments on the Canvas

→ Browse documents you’ve already opened when you‘re offline

→ Open local documents from the Files or other third-party file storage apps

This app requires an internet connection, an existing Sketch subscription and works exclusively with documents in your Sketch Workspace. This app is not compatible with Mac-only licenses.

## Key features

- Sign in to Workspaces (SSO/2FA)
- Browse projects and documents
- Play and test prototypes
- Mirror Mac documents
- View and respond to comments
- Offline document browsing

### 1/5 — Slow to Load and Mirroring Doesn’t Work

*2026-01-28*

This app simply doesn’t load documents with multiple pages.

When a custom font is included, it simply won’t be displayed on the app. 

Just include the classic mirroring as mode.

**Developer response:** Hello there! 👋 I’m sorry to hear about these issues you are experiencing, and we’d like to help get things running smoothly. If document fonts are not displaying correctly, could you verify whether the custom fonts are installed on your device or embedded in the document?

For more detailed troubleshooting, please reach out to us at productsupport@sketch.com so we can take a closer look at your specific scenario. Cheers! 🙏

### 1/5 — Massive Bug

*2025-11-24, version 2025.3*

Quits on open, every time. Literally unusable.

### 2/5 — Feedback

*2025-06-09*

No offline mode.
Prototype related actions are below the sheet visible area.

**Developer response:** Hello there 👋 We are willing to help with any issues. It seems you are suffering from unusual malfunctions (like the one trying to add new Artboards). We also implemented prototyping improvements with the last releases, so I wonder which version you use. If you want, you can email us at productsupport@sketch.com, and we will be happy to investigate it with your help.

Cheers!

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-05-01*

Pretty good

**Developer response:** Hello there! I’m very sorry you are experiencing some problems trying to use the Workspace to visualize your designs. We now have automatic embedding systems that prevent many of the issues you were experiencing back then. Also, we have improved our technologies, and you shouldn’t see any difference between the app and the web app. If you still see discrepancies, please send us a report to the productsupport@sketch.com so our Team can help you. Cheers! 🙏

### 2/5 — I loved this app

*2025-01-20*

When you’re designing an E-Mail oder mobile Website you constantly check if the typo is right and make small adjustments. The best way is just connect the cable to your phone and check instantly. This feature is now gone. This App is now useless to me if it does not work for local files as well.

**Developer response:** Hello there! We rely on Workspace documents to preview designs, so after uploading your file, you will only have to sign in to the App, and the document will appear instantly there to be viewed. I understand that being unable to mirror local documents may be inconvenient, so I will speak with the team and pass the feedback internally. Cheers 🙏

### 1/5 — Used to love sketch

*2025-01-17*

I loved sketch no matter what came by. Figma, XD and the rest. But looks like it’s time to switch. Very disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hello there! I’m very sorry to see how you feel about us, and we would love to hear your feedback on what is happening so you are feeling like this. We will do our best to help you and listen to your words. You can contact us by email at productsupport@sketch.com, and we will be in touch there. Cheers 🙏

### 1/5 — Where is option to mirror local documents?

*2024-10-08*

The mirroring of local documents was previously possible. With this one it is not working.

**Developer response:** Hello there! We rely on Workspace documents to mirror them, so you must first upload the content you need to mirror to your Workspace. After that, you will only have to sign in to the App with your credentials, which will appear there to be viewed. I know that being unable to mirror local documents may be inconvenient, so I will speak with the team about it and pass the feedback internally. Cheers 🙏

### 1/5 — Full download

*2024-10-07, version 101.1*

Why does it need to download the whole sketch file instead of streaming the artboards like in the web version ?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-11, version 100.1*

Love this app, super handy and helpful!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-06-07, version 100*

Recently switched over from Adobe XD because of their lack of focus on the software and am perplexed why this app doesn’t actually do what it says. Was really excited to use Sketch but not being able to mirror a design directly on the app via wifi or USB-C is such a missed opportunity. The fact that Adobe does this without forcing the cloud functionality shows how bad of a decision to not include this is. 

Please allow us to mirror local documents in real time without relying on your cloud to make changes that sometimes take minutes. It would genuinely make a world of difference.
