Community reviews for Figma

I really like how this tool is accessible to students, even though it is paid. It's great for those that are creative minded and want to learn more about their interests in design. However, it does deal with a high amount of performance lag from large and intricate design files that have more complex and interactive components.

When seeing what Figma has to offer, I can say that it brings the creativity and graphic design of the popular app Canva with the collaboration aspect of Googles Docs and Slides programs. Specifically with this app, I believe the UI is way cleaner than google slides and because of this, will allow for students to have a quicker and more sophisticated workflow.

Overall, Figma is a really good teaching tool, and should be used by teachers. It is a good way to introduce app design and user interface to people that do not know much about it. My one critique is that there is a premium version, but it is good because it is free with most institutions.

As a teaching tool, this resource is extremely reliable. It allows students or people to work with many creative designs, and people are able to prototype entire apps using this website or application. Using this tool, there are endless amounts of innovations that people can make, from graphs, to charts, to even application prototypes. All this access for free? Who can deny it.
