Great addition to CC!

I started using XD when it first came into beta. Glad to see that it's s full-fledged product now. It's great to have this kind of design program in my Adobe toolset. Way faster and more streamlined workflow than working in Photoshop & Illustrator. Great for making a quick vector graphic, or designing whole screens. I used XD for a large iOS app design project when it was in beta. It was a little buggy then but seems more robust now. I love the addition of real-time feedback on your device! Keep up the good work!

Void of basic UI controls

First, I can't understand the 5 star reviews of this mobile app specifically.

For starters once you choose a prototype to view, it fixes to the art board viewport leaving black space around board. If you extend the viewport in XD desktop and republish to full vertical, the artboard appears as a narrow strip in mobile app. That would be ok if the app supported ZOOM. You can't zoom in on any artboard like all other prototype apps in the market do. Zooming is an intuitive must have for any object. Second I found it almost impossible to go back to the prototype menu. I tapped everywhere on screen to try to access their limited menu drawer. A few times it appeared but I don't know what I did to access it. Still a mystery.

Many of us would like to use XD for web design, not only mobile apps. Clearly Adobe has not really considered web designers as a user of XD. For one they don't support color management making any color you design completely off when deployed in this app. Adobe start by observing your competitors and copy their base functions that we users intuitively expect. Then throw in your Adobe Sensai to give you distinction. The lack basic functions makes this workflow inferior in every way.

Thank you for the feedback, I will forward it to the team. Also, please post it here: https://adobexd.uservoice.com

Good, but so much more potential

Often this app is very slow and does not even allow me to preview documents, which is currently its only functionality. Since it can't do this, I deleted it. Is this going to be fixed? I am using an iPad Pro, and it doesn't work on my Google Pixel phone either.

For me the features that would take this to the next level would be the ability to create wire frames and prototype them right here on the iPad Pro and have a seamless sync into mechanism across iOS and desktop software so that you could create on both devices whenever, and wherever.

Hi,
Can you send more details on the inability to preview and slowness to xdmobilefeedback@adobe.com? We have not been able to reproduce, even for very large files on lower end devices. Perhaps it's something specific to your project. One thing to watch out for when loading from Documents tab/cloud are excessively large bitmaps(bigger than the resolution they will be displayed at). Big bitmaps mean long download times if you are not on WiFi

Thanks for your feedback on editing capabilities in the app, I've forwarded on to the engineering team
