there are more then 5 actually :)

let’s start with this and tell that nowadays, us, the designers, have the amazing ability to choose throwout different apps for digital design.
you have the amazing sketch app, invision, figma, and many more.

I’m working in Adobe XD app for a year now and I can tell you that this is the greatest switch that I made since long time design wise.

unlimited artboards!

1. Speed

I can tell you that this app is the fastest app in the whole market. the ability of the app to switch artboards or to create new artboards don’t change even if you are designing with 200 artboards at the same file. I recommend you to go and try it yourself, you will not believe how true is that.

prototyping in action…

2. Prototype

One of the important things for us, as digital product designers, or ui ux designers is the testing and prototyping the app or the website we are working on. and one of the amazing things in adobe xd is the abillity to prototype in the app itself, without even go to your browser and search for prototype apps.
it’s one of the most things i love inside the app, it helps me to boost my productivity and work a lot faster then usual.

file uploading…

3. Sharing

Another thing that I’m really enjoying from the app is the sharing ability,
if you want to share your design with a client or your design team, you can do this really in seconds. you just need to select the files you want to share and click on the icon of the sharing on top left and the design will be upload to xd cloud, it’s that easy.

designer, developer, and client.

4. Collaborating

When it comes to collaborating with other designers or developers, adobe xd make it comfortable and easy. inside the app you can find a tab called “assets”, in this exact tab you can find all the colors, fonts, and symbols the designer used with his design. the assets are a really powerful feature that changed the game in the digital design tools. I recommend to you to go and try this amazing feature with your next project, it makes everything faster and more productivity.

symbols applying…

5. Symbols

When it comes to symbols, adobe xd is in the game. inside the app in the “assets” tap you will find your symbols used on all the project, they have some great features there too, such as if you want to edit symbol that you used for in a lot of pages, it edits in all of the pages automatically.

That’s it,
