Slow to Load and Mirroring Doesn’t Work

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.

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! 🙏

Massive Bug

Quits on open, every time. Literally unusable.

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!

I love Sketch

I know figma is the trendy one currently, but honestly Sketch is so much better! Yeah they used to lag behind. It’s not the case anymore.

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! 🙏

I loved this app

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.

Used to love sketch

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

Where is option to mirror local documents?

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

Full download

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

Disappointing

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.

Very Slow, Bugs here and there, Adding A new art board on OSX requires to restart the app. Artboard Sync mode with OSX selection has no way to use as prototype for selected screen, instead you have to go out and look for the same screen to start a prototype.

The app is full of issues. Sketch team you have to do much better if you want to survive.

Nice design update but crashes on prototypes

I haven’t been able to run a single prototype as it crashes 100% of the time. This is really my only use for the mobile app.

Hello there! That doesn’t sound good at all, and I apologize for that. We are here to help but, unfortunately, many factors may be affecting the App, and it’s difficult to troubleshoot it via this comment, so if you want, we can keep in touch through the productsupport@sketch.com email and look for the source of these crashes together. I'm positive we can get it solved! Cheers.

Mirror App was perfect, this is not.

Do not force us to sign in, use workspaces or any other dark UX patterns – that in reality exist to drive subscriptions. I need to very quickly view the active artboard on my mobile device. Not this bloatware - fix the mirror app so we can quickly design and view pages on mobile devices. You are losing to Figma and these hostile tactics are certainly not helping your cause.

Decent, but no export

Pretty much the only feature I needed was to export a design to png on my phone; and sadly that doesn’t exist.

Pointless

The star reviews here speak volumes. Does your team not do user research and actually find out what Sketch users want? I use Sketch because I like saving files locally that’s the whole point of sticking by you. I don’t need or want the cloud service, so why have you just severed ties with mirroring local documents completely? I’d rather the crappy old app if it lets me test designs locally. This update is thoughtless. Sorry.

Not ideal

Add the ability to clear the cache. If I update the project, it starts re-downloading and the application is already running 5 GB.

Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great idea. We heavily rely on iOS for this task, but I will pass this feedback internally and see if we can study its implementation. Cheers!

Local Sync?

When will the new app start working again with the Mac app through local Wi-Fi, like the old Mirror app? I use Sketch more “offline” and not much in the cloud.

Horrible UX

Literally downloading an entire sketch file locally of 1GB every single time I need to view it. Extremely annoying and misleading that they call it Sketch Cloud. It needs to be immediately accessible like Figma etc. love the max app but the iPhone app is unusable.
