Figma for Negative User Reviews
✓ Can’t copy and paste text on iPad 😭Seriously it was perfect until I can’t copy & paste text on the canvas. Please fix this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.Version: 21.13.0
✓ Zoom featureI’d like to be able to zoom in on a prototype..Version: 23.9.0
✓ Figma iPadThis application on iPad doesn’t have all features that we have on laptops this is disappointing..Version: 23.14.0
✓ Does not even workNEVER USE THIS, DOES NOT WORK!.Version: 23.10.0
✓ Not sure how to interact with the app.Open a prototype on iPad, not sure how to quit. Not sure how to enter the preview mode..Version: 21.5.1
✓ It never worksI have to kill the app so many times just to mirror the correct frame. WHY is this such a buggy app!!?? 😫.Version: 21.7.0
✓ Doesn’t loadCan’t even access the app after logging in.Version: 2.8
✓ Worst Experience Always Signed OutEvery time I try to use Figma on iOS I'm signed out..Version: 23.8.0
✓ Buggy and lacks essential featuresI love Figma on desktop but the mobile app on phone and iPad fall short in a big way. I use it almost exclusively for the mirror function and I would have given it 3 stars if it weren’t so buggy. Bugs I have found while using mirror include: - Loses connection periodically - Freezes often and needs to be restarted - The prototype doesn’t always appear exactly as on screen. For example, I had an icon with a transparent container around it and layers that had shadows. It looked fine on the computer screen but on the phone, the container background appeared white and the shadows were applied to the container instead of the objects inside it. - It would be nice to have an option to turn on/off status bar and home bar if they are already on your designs. - Animations are not very smooth. Aside from the mirror feature, I wanted to view and respond to a comment while I was on the go, but I can’t see the comments. It seems all that I can do view my frames. I would really love editing capabilities, especially for iPad. If I could design in Figma on iPad it would save my hand so much from all the mouse clicks. In the meantime, I’m just trying to learn all the shortcuts keys!.Version: 24.1.0
✓ Dont let adobe kill this !!!This was amazing - now im worried!!!.Version: 22.10.1
✓ Nearly there!My main use-case for this app is being able to preview a tablet design, while drawing it up on the computer. Previous versions were restricted to mirroring the currently selected component — not very helpful. Recent changes finally allow for previewing a prototype and leaving it there! However it appears to be a little buggy as every time I make a change It reloads and takes me to the default flow rather than selected flow. Looking forward to trying again when this is running better!.Version: 20.1.1
✓ Can’t share documents/folder structure non-existent and sorts files by “recent” which is uselessThe main reason people may want to use the app is to quickly invite people to documents away from their computer. Also who actually finds sorting by recent more helpful from a conceptual standpoint then a folder structure. Figma you keep doing all of the wrong things perfectly..Version: 22.2.0
✓ Losing to your competitorsI just wanted to share my experience, it’s unfortunate but might help in future feature planning for the iOS offering. I started doing design work and tried your competitor and Figma and Figma won hands down in terms of control of design elements and the ease of interface and pricing. I was a bit surprised to find however that the design tools don’t work on iPad. iPad doesn’t seem to be intended as a platform for designing but rather reviewing and commenting on existing designs. For this reason I jumped ship to one of your competitors and have been using that steadily for months. Being frustrated by the lack of pen tool and specific custom design tools I ended up moving back to Figma happily on desktop. However, I would LOVE to be able to create designs using the iPad and have feature parity with the desktop toolset. This is actually holding me back from cancelling my competitors subscription purchase a Figma subscription. It’s unfortunate because I believe Figma to be the better tool, but I’m terms of portability I have to make a different decision. Are there plans to build in design creation for mobile and tablet devices? I’d have to say this limitation takes it from a 5/5 to a 3/5 :/.Version: 23.15.0
✓ Just not quite thereI don’t understand, but it seems like this app simply never quite works as well as it should. You constantly have to reload it or quit it and relaunch it for it to work properly. Anyway, maybe one day it’ll just work like it should. Until then, this is what we got!.Version: 23.5.0
✓ We need editable Figma on iPadWe need editable Figma on iPad.Version: 23.3.0
✓ Can’t get the original features rightI love that they added file exploration within the app, and decoupled the need for Figma to be mirrored from another device. That said, I feel like they moved on to bigger and better things before they got the fundamentals right. A lot of people do in fact prioritise using Figma mirror, but every time I navigate away from the Figma app (usually to cross reference production or some inspiration) I get black screened and have to exit, then restart the mirroring process. And if I have to keep logging out and back in rather than just getting feature parity with the Mac app to be able to switch accounts - I’m going to go back to Sketch (not really).Version: 21.10.0
✓ Forced to update iOS in less than a yearI dont see why I’m forced to update from iOS 14.3 which is barely over a year old to continue using Figma... I need to stay on iOS 14.3 so i wont be able to use the app anymore... sad.Version: 2.8
✓ ⚠️Privacy warning!!Way too much personal data collected, this is scary as the content I’m working on is confidential!! I’ve uninstalled the app..Version: 21.14.0
✓ Buggy and slowMirror features works once in a while.Version: 23.18.0
✓ What the hell?!This is the company’s software you use to CREATE AND DESIGN APPS and they have this atrocious and lazy lacklustre nonsense they call an “app”?! This is embarrassing Figma! It makes no sense that it’s this bad?!.Version: 22.1.0
✓ Please improve vector editing & ability to copy paste into IllustratorFigma is good at many things, but vector editing is definitely not their strong suit. Neither is photo editing. It is optimized for quick & relatively low skill mocking, but not for creating actual elements of the design, like high quality iconography. So I still very much need Photoshop and Illustrator. Animation abilities are also very limited. So there’s no way to make a realistic prototype with just Figma. Please provide at least an ability to copy paste vector INTO Illustrator, not just from..Version: 21.9.0
✓ UnhelpfulI want to have my mobile designs displaying on my phone so that I can design & see how it looks on a device… but the app is constantly reloading and switching to the first flow starting point every 30 seconds. If it has to reload, that’s fine, but at least stay on the flow starting point that I’ve already specified. Great idea but too buggy to use yet..Version: 22.3.0
✓ Crashes when you login with google accountThe App gets stuck when you login with Google..Version: 2.7
✓ Very problematic appThe iOS experience with this app is about as non-intuitive as any app can be. View a project and there is literally no button or pop up control to exit that view - so it needs to be hard shut down. Try and zoom in on an active project, and the whole view is scrambled during zooming. Hopefully the experience and menu’ing can be improved..Version: 22.1.0
✓ Slow when loading filesLoading files took too long.Version: 23.2.0
✓ I was hoping I would be able to editIt’s a shame that the iPad application is limited to viewing only and no editing or productivity features added. For example add post it notes on a board.Version: 20.1.0
✓ Useless without commentsAs title says.Version: 21.13.0
✓ Figma Mirroring LagFor my use case I mostly use the Figma App to test prototypes and check context of designs on an actual device. The other features feel like nice to haves based on my personal workflow. My frustration with the app comes mostly with connectivity issues. Figma mirror often lags and doesn’t update based on the frame selected on my computer. I often to need to restart the proton or hard reset the app. Would love to see a connection that is allowed through a cable vs WiFi..Version: 24.0.2
✓ Figma files are not editableWhy we cannot edit figma files? What is the point of this app when you cannot edit with it?.Version: 23.16.1
✓ Just a viewerOnly can view work and not build from mobile..Version: 22.7.1
✓ UselessWhy is this just a viewer? At least add ability to annotate designs with Apple Pencil on iPad. Totally useless app. Given how expensive Figma is per user per month this is totally unacceptable..Version: 23.12.0
✓ What are they thinking?I’m new to figma, so I downloaded the iPad app to check it out. The app is read only. No controls, no edits, nothing. The ONLY thing the app does is let you look at your designs on the iPad screen. I could do the same thing by taking a screenshot and sending to iCloud. Until they actually add some functionality to the app, don’t bother downloading, it’s pointless..Version: 24.2.0
✓ Great potential, just not quite there yetI think this app has potential t be great but need to fix all the bugs and glitches. Also add more easy to use editing. A perfect example, in figjam I create a text box with a paragraph in it, if I want to change the color of just one of the words in the paragraph this is an easy editing task, however currently with Figma I can only change the color of every word and thats it. This is one of many minor nuances which need to be fixed before it can be highly ranked, but I like the overall look, feel & interface so if you can work out these kinks it can be great. Look forward to seeing the direction they go.Version: 21.3.0
✓ The most useless appHow in the world does THIS get 4.5 stars? There is literally no use for this lazy sloppy app.Version: 22.7.1
✓ “prototype too big”The whole point of me downloading this app on my phone was so I could see how my prototype of a mobile app would look on my phone. I thought it would be easier to gauge if my font sizes/weights look fine when viewing it on an actual mobile device rather than my mac. And it was. Nine frames and a few animations later I get a message saying that I can no longer view the prototype on my phone because the file is too big. Seriously? After only 9 frames? I don’t know if this is a bug or not but the app is pretty much useless to me now since I do all the actual work on my mac. So that was disappointing..Version: 22.9.0
✓ MediocreWhilst Figma’s desktop experience is great their iPad app leaves a lot to be desired. The idea of being able to sketch ideas faster with an Apple Pencil sounds great until you realise the app has no palm rejection which causes the pencil feedback to be really unresponsive and litters your art board which heaps of dots from your hand as you write/draw..Version: 21.8.0
✓ RubbishSimply refuses to display currently selected frame. Have logged out/in multiple times trying to get it to work. Please add USB connection functionality..Version: 2.7
✓ Works when it wants toOne day it works, the next it doesn’t. It either doesn’t load and all I see is a black screen or when I click a frame, it doesn’t mirror on the phone. It hasn’t worked for days now..Version: 2.8
✓ New update has caused some issuesI was a big fan of the mirror previous to the newest update however now the app refreshes on every desktop click and defaults to whatever frame was created first, meaning I have to constantly go through the process of getting back to the frame I’m focusing on. It also crashes upon the creation of every new frame which is a lot. Can’t stress enough that I’ve been a big fan of the simple previous mirror and that the new update does introduce some great new ideas but the current bugs are causing some major issues. Hopefully we see some patches soon!.Version: 20.0.1
✓ 😫Please fix the mirror tab. Please..Version: 22.6.0
✓ Desktop Figma is amazing, phone app is a little basicThe desktop Figma is amazing, unless I am missing something (I am new to this) the phone app Figma seems a little limited in what you can do..Version: 23.10.0
✓ BuggyWorks when it wants to..Version: 22.9.0
✓ Can’t work on design filesI downloaded Figma expecting to be able to work on design files without needing to go the website. If adobe can make a downgraded illustrator, then why can’t figma do the same. If it works in the browser, why not an app. Also, You can only use Figma jam which is very limited in its features. There are very few fonts and colors. This app is limited and it’s use as another viewer is pointless as you can use a browser. Unless, this app allows making and editing of design files, then it fails to do a pivotal purpose of why people purchase and use Figma in the first place..Version: 23.17.0
✓ IPad appCan’t design on iPad..Version: 23.13.0
✓ Gone downhill quicklyMirror used to work well but now extremely frustrating to use. - please let us just log into different accounts and quickly switch like on desktop app. Having to log in and out to different accounts just to use mirror is frustrating. - mirror will stop working if it is active and you switch apps for a second. The last active screen will stay on screen and never change until you force quit and restart the app Please fix these issues.Version: 22.7.1
✓ Cant login from appWhen click login , app simply open a blank page and i can’t log in.Version: 23.3.2
✓ No functionality on the phone appI love Figma. But no functionality on the phone app apart from adding comments. Slightly pointless app..Version: 24.1.1
✓ Unreliable mirroringUsing the app for mirroring 90% of the time. Mirroring often crashes or won’t navigate to correct screens after some time mirroring or when app was minimised and brought back (would get stuck on same screen or show black screen; “restart” won’t help).Version: 22.8.0
✓ Slow prototypesPrototypes are slow.Version: 24.2.0
✓ IPad app is like the mobile appIt’s a little disappointing that Figma doesn’t have an iPad app version that is similar to the desktop app version they have. Because what i can do with the iPad app version is very limited.. I can only comment and view others work. I can’t edit or anything. to do that i would have to log into Figma on the browser. It’s a little bit annoying that’s all..Version: 23.16.0
✓ You can’t even edit Figma design files?Not worth downloading unless you only want to view your design files, not edit them. You can edit FigJam Boards, but not design files. I just installed the Figma website as a web app on my iPad (Share > Add to Home Screen). It’s not as user friendly as the app, but at least it has the functionality!.Version: 23.15.0
✓ Mirror Is AwfulThe one thing this app should do well (allow me to mirror my designs in mobile) it struggles big time. Not only is it extremely obnoxious to lose my art board on mobile every time I click off the art board on desktop, but the connection drops or lags all the time and leaves me with a black screen. Really disappointing that someone who thinks themselves the leader in the UX/UI space can’t make a better/more useful app (that works)..Version: 22.9.0
✓ '" You need to create a mobile app that does everything a computer can C hat.Version: 21.10.0
✓ Please fix the low resolution image bugMirror only seems to display preview versions of raster images, which makes pixel perfect design next to impossible.Version: 21.5.1
✓ 真的会谢既然手机端和pad端可以下载这个软件 为什么它不能编辑？？？pad都不行 网页版吊炸，客户端拉垮.Version: 23.13.0
✓ UpsettingI’ve never been more upset with an app. Why does my Apple Pencil work perfectly on other apps, but this one is SO BUGGY. Sometimes it will let me drag a shape with the pencil, then it will completely ignore the pencil as if it doesn’t exist. THEN it will not let me type into the shape or sticky. Even the pen tool doesn’t work, it just makes a bunch of random marks?!? The most infuriating. Would have been better for this app to not exist than bring my hopes up about working on my iPad..Version: 22.0.0
✓ Great product, fix your billing info location.Giving a 1/5 because billing is a pain to find. I spent 20 min so far trying to find the dam thing for accounting reasons. Now I am looking at YouTube videos and documentations which seems to be out of date to find where I can download an invoice. Fix this! I shouldn’t be wasting my time on things like this. It should be in an obvious place easily accessible..Version: 24.0.1
✓ Can’t edit, view onlyCan’t edit, view only. Barely any functionality, kind of pointless of an app. Pretty shocking this is an iPad app..Version: 23.1.0
✓ Solid but there's room for improvementI genuinely think this is the best way to use fig jam, but the lack of support for multiple accounts and the spotty palm rejection can make it annoying to use.Version: 24.1.0
✓ Latest Update Breaks Dynamic ComponentsMade a lot of really great dynamic components that work on computer but as soon as you load it in the app they no longer work. Worked literally yesterday, including animations and dynamic button states with animations, but doesn't work today. Huge disappointment and now requires us to either demonstrate a mobile app on a laptop or use a third party app to demo.Version: 22.2.0
✓ Stopped workingDoesn’t even open anymore just stuck on loading screen. Tried deleting it, rebooting iPhone, and installing it again. Nothing. Can’t work without it.Version: 21.7.0
✓ Good for reviewing work, but…I want to be able to design using my iPad Pro. This is somewhat possible via the browser, but the annoying ‘open in app’ banner never goes away. The iOS/iPadOS app just seems like yet another port of the web app but with edit functionality switched off—why do that? I guess because it’s an imperfect experience? I don’t care, I still want to design with my iPad..Version: 23.6.0
✓ FigJam unusable on iPadApple Pencil is barely supported. Drawing is excruciatingly slow. But the best part is that when using the text tool, whether for existing text or new, at least 4/5 times it doesn’t activate the keyboard. So unless you’re not in a hurry, and have an external keyboard connected, you will not have any fun creating or editing jams on the go. Two stars for the basic utility of (very, very slowly) accessing your team documents, and at least you can cross things out and leave comments..Version: 22.4.0
✓ Where’s FigmaIt’s not Figma AND figjam, it’s just figjam.Version: 21.9.0
✓ App crashes on adding templatesSince there is no way to start a jam from a template on iPad, you need to add templates through the toolbar inside a new view. However if you try this, it soft-locks the application. (Noticed with network map diagram).Version: 21.6.1
✓ SuggestionsI use Figma on the daily. This app has been great for all things white boarding, and early prototype sketching. I rarely use it for the mirror feature, but that’s because my role doesn’t need it. Here are some suggestions to help improve the experience: * Allow for the tool bar in Figjam to be hidden. * Let us pan in FigJam with one finger when using the pen tool - or at least when we have disabled finger drawing * I actually like drag and dropping sticky notes. Right now the Figma side of the app is a glorified prototype viewer. There’s a lot of potential for what you can already do with the Figma side: * start by letting us use the ink and the pen tool to make annotations around the file using the Apple pen * let us add comments to the page itself I hope these suggestions can help with the app’s roadmap..Version: 23.4.1
✓ Not actually usefulI’m a product designer who works constantly with Figma and FigJam. I love using my iPad and my Apple Pencil to sketch on FigJam, it’s so practical and easy. But the fact that I still can’t use Figma on the go on my iPad is ridiculous. They claim to be listening to the community but not only they’ve sold themselves to their competitor ignoring the entire community, they’ve also ignored this request from lots of professionals for years at this point. It’s a shame and a waste of potential, but it’s also wrong..Version: 22.10.1
✓ Do ppl at figma even use this?I’m so shocked by how buggy this app is that I have to write a review. Mobile designers rely on the mirror function heavily, but it is barely usable, the toast at the bottom never dismisses, it loads slowly and often disconnects, or loads the wrong page and you have to deselect and reselect the frame on computer to trigger the refresh, it ignores your frame selection if u have a flow on this page and will just keep playing that flow… I have no idea who made and approved this, and I’m just simply afraid to touch the open file feature. Also no real iPad apps in 2022. Hello??.Version: 22.6.0
✓ Great in theory, execution needs some workI have been using Figma for a while now. Desktop version is great, iPad version is buggy and often infuriatingly limited. No option to edit design files, and the figjam service is full of bugs, especially in split screen view . Figma has so much potential on the iPad, but for some reason is clipped. Magic Keyboard and wireless mouse on iPad seem to not want to communicate well with figma and often just stop working after about 2 or 3 operations. It has so much potential, but definitely needs a lot more refinement to become what is possible..Version: 23.1.0
✓ Useless.IPad and phone, it doesn’t let me do anything. Shows me a wifi icon and suggests I can log out, but that does nothing as well. I have a bunch projects and designs in my Figma account, but absolutely nothing shows here..Version: 2.8
✓ Slow connection from AustraliaRouting might needs optimization since the loading time is significantly slower and it’s affects our productivity.Version: 22.12.1
✓ Prototypes turn blackI only use the app for mirroring and viewing prototypes while designing. Prototypes turn black anytime I background or switch apps, and the only way to restore them is the exit the prototype and reopen it. This gets really tedious after a while..Version: 23.18.0
✓ View OnlyUsing the app on an iPad and it is view only. Using Safari on the iPad also leaves many features unavailable. Using the iPad to sketch things out would make it easier to quickly move from one to the other. Unfortunately, with Figma not making this a priority, means that I have to find a work around..Version: 23.12.0
✓ Used to be such a good appThe prototype/mirror function is so useful and mostly used by me, however, it just keeps on crashing on me or straight up freezes on one screen even though I’m pressing on other frames…please fix this issue..Version: 23.4.1
✓ Can’t change sharing permissionsFor mobile app, it would be useful to change sharing permissions. Use case: I am away from my computer and get an email from a client saying they can’t view my design. It would be great to be able to add them as a viewer without going to my computer..Version: 22.3.1
✓ Does this app even work?Has not opened once on loading, gives this strange wi-fi icon and a log out link despite having a good wi-fi connection. Even the log out link doesn’t work.Version: 2.8
✓ Mirror not workingAll of the sudden this afternoon, the mirror functionality stopped working. I tried rebooting my Mac, deleting and reinstalling the Figma app on iPhone and still unable to use the mirror functionality..Version: 21.9.0
✓ Does only half the jobIt’s fine for ideation, but can’t do the actual designs. So only half the job. It’s 2023 and we have desktop class processors in most iPads yet we’re let down by apps like this..Version: 23.4.1
✓ Missing functionalitySeems like they forgot they have the app. Why I can't swipe between frames? Every time I need to click on every frame differently in order to reflect on the phone. Really often glitches are happening when I change something on the frame. Group or elements are duplicating each other in the mirror. So I need to close the app and open it again, click on the frame again, and now everything is refreshed. Maybe it makes sense to make pull to refresh? Well, guys, please don't forget about this app it is really useful in the design process..Version: 2.7
✓ Sorry but still completely useless.Waiting for the day that I could actually provide feedback for my team on an iphone..Version: 23.1.0
✓ Can’t edit my Figma files…I don’t get it… what is the point of this app? I don’t use Figjam… this should be the FigJam app as you can’t edit your Figma design files. I expect more, let’s hope Adobe fix this!.Version: 23.0.0
✓ Completely different from websiteWhiteboard and view projects only, I thought I would be able to make posters using Figma easier with the iPad app and it turns out you can’t do ANYTHING with this app. Hot garbage..Version: 23.10.0
✓ New app update badI seriously don’t understand why the previous app had so many bad reviews. It was way more functional. All this app needs to do is mirror designs on the phone. This new update is so convoluted and messy. I have to close the app every time I want to get back to the homepage because the “go back”functionality is almost non existent..Version: 20.0.2
✓ User interface untenableUnable to perform the simplest of tasks without immense frustration on the mobile app (iPad Pro). It’s actually considerably easier to work on the website. Would give fewer stars if I could..Version: 23.5.0
✓ Horrible appYou cannot cancel the app on the mobile version, and mobile web redirects to the app..Version: 23.13.0
✓ Unusable for my workflowIPad version fundamentally can’t handle a moderate to high number of images on one page, in fact it says as much when it inevitably crashes. I guess it’s nice for people who are mostly reviewing simple vector work but for anyone who interacts with many raster images on one page it’s totally not workable. I don’t really understand why they couldn’t integrate some kind of low-res display mode, or selective loading of just certain images, or something more than “Sorry can’t be done.”.Version: 24.0.2
✓ Don’t get this on mobileFigma is great, but the reason I rated this 1 star is that Figma is meant for desktops or laptops. If you want to download this, download it on one of those, not mobile..Version: 21.14.0
✓ Can’t remove or add access to files or prototypesOnly useful for viewing a prototype.Version: 23.4.1
✓ Great update but it still has the same bugIt is good to see new functionalities in the Figma app. However, the double tap bug still persist in the prototype view. Every tap is registered as a double tap. When the tap heat map are located at the same place in multiple pages, it skips to the second page. This is a major bug that needs to be fixed ASAP. This bug has been on Figma since 2018..Version: 20.0.1
✓ Buggy and jittery when viewing prototypesMirroring is so unreliable. Always freezes, and the only way to fix it is to close app & reopen. And prototypes are sooo jittery. Long way short of the quality were used to from the desktop experience.Version: 21.12.0
✓ Apple Pencil support is poorI was excited by figjam coming to iPad. But the Apple Pencil drawing support is dreadful. It’s really laggy and not very responsive. Not smooth at all like other iPad apps..Version: 21.2.0
✓ Good idea, bad execution.No matter how I love Figma, this mirror app is performing very bad. Due to its cloud-based nature, there is extreme latency between me modifying a design and the app reflecting it. It usually doesn't load images at first. Apps like Flinto for iOS, Sketch Mirror or Adobe Device Preview work well because they can be connected via Wifi or USB. This would help a lot to enable people to design properly. Or a paid Figma plan which would guarantee better latency, bandwidth for these solutions to work well :).Version: 2.3
✓ Many crashes on Prototyping, still doesn’t workIt’s getting more stressful that I guess it’s my fault then change prototyping but seems like working on Mac. Urgently fix please before adding more new features 🙏.Version: 23.8.0
✓ Love Figma but the app is pretty hard to loveLong term lover of Figma. Amazing desktop service but this recent update to add more functionality than the simple Mirror Frames task feels like a waste of potential. I’m sure they’ll fix it but currently it just feels so unreliable to actually use for Mirror prototyping, which I used to do a lot of. It’s current state is just a half baked progression that I can’t use anymore -.-.Version: 20.0.1
✓ Read OnlyThe app is really only for reviewing files..Version: 22.0.0
✓ I have a dreamIt’s where design software is not judged by the amount adobe paid for it, but how well its mirror functionality works..Version: 22.11.0
✓ BuggyMirroring is such a basic feature that has been so neglected here. Have to re-sync constantly, and can't adjust the scale-to-fit zoom to be 100% which is annoying when you mostly design for a 375w screen and have a larger device. @figma Please give this app some love..Version: 22.6.0
✓ Why can’t I edit in the app?I don’t understand why there is no functionality to edit files in the Figma app. I can open Figma in a web browser on my iPad and make edits there, but that’s more of a hassle than just being able to use the app. I don’t view prototypes or use figjam as often, so the app is kind of useless as it is now..Version: 22.6.0
✓ Cannot log in after updating the appHi, I could not log in into my account after I installed the latest update. I tried changing my password, reinstalled the app. everything works on my desktop. The app doesn’t provide a system respond on what’s wrong, just shows the log in page. Doesn’t say if password or email are wrong. (Which they are not). When I press on Log in button, the focus state goes on passes field (which already has my password). Please help..Version: 20.1.1
✓ Can’t view files on iPhoneFile is too big to view on iPhone even though there isn’t much in it.Version: 21.5.0
✓ Great but not so greatOften nothing happens and you’re just clueless as to what to do. Definitely missing an option to allow to reload or re-sync or at least instructions or hints instead of empty screen with no option or action..Version: 2.8
✓ Doesn’t function as you’d hopeI find this app to be counter-intuitive and unfit to be a proper companion to the desktop app. I am not expecting full fledged editing ability, but my basic expectations about what I should be able to do and see with a mobile Figma app are not met. It also has performance issues that require me to restart the app far more than I’d like..Version: 23.1.0
✓ App não roda é muito pesado, consome muita memóriaNão compensa ter um programa que é muito pesado e não abre. Você precisa ter uma memória de um gamer para conseguir acessar! Tenho o IPhone 15 com 2 TB e ainda assim não funciona, diz que o programa é muito pesado..Version: 23.18.0
✓ Figma Dark PatternsThis is just a comment on Figma as a company. But their model is shady, and it’s clear why they’ve made so much money. They trick designers to not know that any invited editor gets billed to their account. $15 each. Even if the other has a pro account. This means if you have a pro account, and the invited person also has a pro account. You still get charged $15 the minute they can edit your file. This is not collaborative and makes me question the real “game changing” collaboration model they claim to offer. They’ve limited the free experience, which is fine. But to be shady to paying Figma users is messed up. Be more transparent, and fix your business model. You have enough money to do so after the $20 Billion dollar purchase from Adobe..Version: 22.7.1
✓ Has become very inconsistent, brokenIn most cases mirror does not mirror what’s on figma, it crashes all the time and it’s very slow. The core usability of it has been getting consistently worse. Focus less on new features and more on what everyones needs which is for it to predictably work..Version: 22.5.0
✓ Weird appCan’t preview anything and can’t log out.Version: 2.8
✓ Not much useThis app doesn’t include any of the editing features of Figma so it completely misses the point..Version: 24.1.0
✓ Can’t handle large boardsUnable to open any boards on the app as it constantly says the file is too large..Version: 23.14.0
✓ Read-onlyApp gives read-only access to boards, unable to edit anything even as the owner account. One of the most useless apps I've ever downloaded..Version: 21.9.0
✓ Be great if mirroring works!It was reported as of June ‘21 that mirroring doesn’t work from the desktop app to mobile in iOS 15. 7 months later Figma has seemingly abounded their customer base..Version: 20.0.2
✓ BuggyI cant even log into the app.Version: 23.13.0
✓ Crashes a lotKeeps crashing and performance is not the best. Often it wont connect properly and I have to restart the app to get it to connect to my desktop Figma..Version: 2.8
✓ DisappointingI got this app about 2 years ago and it’s been great for quickly evaluating designs on a device. The main problem is that it automatically scales designs to fit the screen, so a design meant for iPhone 5 looks ridiculous on an iPad. It’s free, so I can see why it’s not a comprehensive solution for testing on mobile, but in 2 years nothing has really changed. I think it’s been somewhat forgotten about..Version: 2.7
✓ Basically just a document viewerI open up the the app to find that I can’t work on Figma files. It does, however, have a button for creating a figjam file. I hit the button and am taken to a blank page where nothing is responsive, there’s nothing for me to do. So I can’t work on Figma files, and figjam files are totally broken..Version: 22.1.0
✓ Terrible user experienceThe experience of the mobile app pales in comparison to the desktop app and/or browser experience on a desktop. I can’t seem to open up existing comments, the screen just bugs when I tap on a conversation out, and the comments aren’t displayed..Version: 23.10.0
✓ Missing key collaboration featuresAs a product manager I need the basic ability to view the designs and comment to give feedback on the go. If this is not one of the main value propositions of the app, what is?.Version: 21.10.0
✓ Can’t drag landscape modeI would like to try my prototype in landscape mode and I need to drag to navigate. That’s a shame we cant..Version: 21.14.0
✓ Great app, but crashes to black screen a lotReally good for presenting prototypes and showing how the app works. Frustrating that it crashes a lot, but great when it works..Version: 23.16.1
✓ Every time I open this I have to loginSo tired of the trash world of “apps” and this is one of the worst contenders, literally never remembers my login details, like guys just save it somewhere in the app, what’s so hard about that? I know your developers are capable because the desktop version is great. Just save the login token like a competent app dev would..Version: 23.4.1
✓ App doesn’t let you open local figma filesAs said in title.Version: 22.12.1
✓ Mirroring is slow or brokenI want to love this app, because I love Figma and the care they usually taken in product development. This app often crashes or gets frozen when I try to mirror my designs. It’s hard to understand how we still can’t make mirroring a fast and stable experience..Version: 21.2.0
✓ Lacking Something Huge!I was very disappointed when I found out that you can’t interact with a prototype within this app, I really hope you could add this!.Version: 2.5
✓ A bit flakyI’m not entirely sure who the audience is for this. I use it as a way to keep track of designs and comments on Figma, but there are enough rough edges that I hesitate to open it. 1. Comment functionality was added (yes!), but you can’t find new comments within the file. You have to close the file, go to the alerts section and tap the comment there to then re-open the file to the new comment. Opening the file can take a minute, so this is really inefficient. 2. Within a. Few minutes of opening the file and zooming / scrolling around, the system seems to forget how to scroll and every swipe, two finger or one, activates the zoom. You have to force-quit the app to get it working again, and within a few minutes it’s back to zooming on every touch. I think the team need to focus on why this app exists. I would love if it was for my use case—non-designer that needs to review mocks and make comments—but even if that wasn’t the goal, it needs some clear workflow definition..Version: 22.3.0
✓ Does not work like desktopThe figma app on IPad is subpar. You cannot use it very well or intuitively on any device that isn’t desktop. Eg buttons will be disabled randomly, you wont be able to view multiple pages in the same file (the button will be disabled). When colleagues invite you to work stations you are redirected to desktop and not the app. Overall a very poor experience which has impacted my ability to see the files I need and utilise this properly at work..Version: 21.3.0
✓ Major design flawConverted to figma from sketch. Program is a nice upgrade. But one huge design flaw that I can’t get over. When I run my prototype to present, figma loads my assets one by one, it causes an issue because assets should be completely loaded before starting a presentation. Common sense. When you first run the presentation let the loader ACTUALLY load the assets then start the presentation. It is embarrassing. What is the point of showing you are loading a prototype if your assets are not actually being loaded.I don’t want to have to tell my client oh wait for your assets to load. That’s unprofessional. Doesn’t matter if the asset is large or not. Load my assets first before presenting. This is huge because if I am presenting to a team, they should not see anything in the presentation other than the intended first frame not have the prototype assets load one by one like a website they can click on things before ready. Doesn’t matter if I have large assets or not. When you load a presentation. Load it. Show a spinner. But don’t show the actual assets loading. Automated actions fail to show and overall is not good practice. If this is fixed this program will allow me to stop my subscription to my other programs. It’s too embarrassing to load my prototypes to my clients right now. I hope this is fixed so I can centralize my programs I use to figma..Version: 22.0.0
✓ FrustratingAs a designer, I get increasingly frustrated with how unresponsive this app is when I’m trying to work. Having to always refresh/hard close the app really creates friction in my workflow. Other than that, when it does work, it’s great..Version: 22.10.1
✓ Great startFigma build amazing products but this one needs work. Crashes, pen is wonky & won’t load a large file. Looking forward to future. Releases!.Version: 21.8.0
✓ Not workingThe app is half-finished. There is no way to go back after you press the Present button etc..Version: 22.4.1
✓ Minimum, not ViableMVP... the V = Viable. This product is not that. It should be possible to load a prototype and click through your links... this does not seem to be possible? You need to click frames on your computer and that frame is mirrored on this app... this is pretty pointless IMO. Also, it's very slow to load new frames! This app is just not useful..Version: 2.3
✓ Interactive prototypes don’t workSeems like interactive components don’t work so this app is pretty useless right now..Version: 22.8.0
✓ Love this all but unusable on iPad stillHey guys love the app but it keeps freezing on my iPad m1 latest edition. I have to then close and re open the app which is super frustrating! Please fix this! 🙏🙏🙏.Version: 21.2.0
