    "Incredible piece of work..."

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-03-09

    Pros: Took minutes to get a handle on the UI, for once I didn't end up back at the tutorial looking for answers.
    I could gush over this for days, the authors of this deserve a big round of applause.

    Cons: Ive had some bugs, that were promptly managed by support.
    Full Disclosure my package dependency trees prolly missing a few branches or at least crossing branches threw a mix of cross-distro bloat packages my late nights tend to land me experimenting with, Its a miracle anything really works at all..

    Overall: 12 out of 10 would recommend.
    I'm a bit confused as to how I just luckily stumbled across this instead of it being recommended or seen advertised.

    "Wonderful app"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-02-18

    Pros: - Pen tool
    - Multiple export options
    - Support for multiple artboards
    - Lots of options to generate filler text
    - AI tools such as background remover
    - Free

    Cons: - No raster effects support
    - Some features are obscure such as image masking

    Overall: Kudos to the Lunacy team for making this software available for free. It's a high-quality professional app and runs smoothly on multiple OSes and devices. I have had a great experience overall but would love to see some raster editing/effects capabilities.

    Your review really means a lot to us and helps to make Lunacy even better! As for the raster editing, you can actually edit raster images in Lunacy. Here are some tips on how to do that: https://docs.icons8.com/images/#cutting-out-a-part-of-an-image. However, we hear your point on raster effects – we'll try to add more of them in the future!

    "Excellent program"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-02-16

    Pros: I'm still studying the great tutorial but the program looks excellent. I have tried it on Windows and Linux.

    Cons: It would be great for Android too. It would be possible to use with pencil.

    Overall: I have yet to delve into the program but it seems very modern and well done. Well integrated and focuses on the essentials but in a complete way.

    "Lunacy really Great Tool! "

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-02-04

    Pros: Easy to use, Intuitive, Plenty of Resources
    Easy to create assets with a huge library of icon and images.

    Cons: In the last version running on Mac sometimes it use to crash.
    Improve Collaboration on same file.

    "Great App"

    4 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-02-02

    Pros: I like the fact that you can use it on Windows and the transition from Sketch to Lunacy is seamless.

    Cons: The zoom command sometimes is sketchy, for example you press to zoom in and it zooms out to 10%.
    Sometimes a file can't be opened.

    Overall: A great app, especially if you can't afford a Mac and you need to work with Sketch files.
    Might need some polishing but overall very easy to use and bug free.

    "Great resources with terrible user-experience "

    1 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-12-09

    Pros: The illustrations and mockups can easily be embedded into your artwork. This is great if the app could work. I am disappointed every time I update the app.

    Cons: Lots of bugs. The most basic functions can not be found. There is no information why some buttons are deactivated. Why couldn't I delete an artboard or an illustration?

    Overall: It turned my face to Figma again. I will use my Freepik account to get illustrations and then manually embed them into Figma,

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-11-28

    Pros: It's very easy to just open it and start to design without any difficulty.
    Great folder organization, and very good icons library.

    Cons: None. I actually haven't had any trouble with Lunacy. It's just incredible.

    Overall: I'm really happy with Lunacy. So much incredible, and the best part that i've liked is how it's simple to make it. Me, as a student of mobile and web development, this helps a lot.
    I'm really grateful with this tool.

    "Coming from other tools, i am seriously struggling"

    2 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-11-13

    Pros: The addition of Icons, illustration and UI kit section makes it simple to add items while designing.

    Cons: Kindly see the overall as regards the con of Lunacy.

    Overall: • A lot of things are broken.
    • Cannot Cmd + v inside an input
    • The icons are not enough and the current are not that relevant.
    • I saved a file in my cloud. when i reopened the objects were scattered all around the artboard some items like images, text were missing.
    • Sometimes when you click on something it adjusts its position automatically

    Mayowa, thanks for sharing your experience, it matters a lot! We're planning to introduce the Cmd + V fix in Lunacy 8.1. Considering the auto-adjustment, we had a couple reports about it, so this bug is already on our to-do list. What comes to your issue with scattered objects, we'd really appreciate it if you share a screencast of the issue and send us a link to your file to investigate the case.

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-11-12

    Pros: I like everything about Lunacy. It's an excellent tool in the hands of designers. Well done guys! You've done a very good job in bringing us this tool.

    Cons: Nothing. There is absolutely nothing I don't like in this application.

    Overall: Fantastic tool. Lunacy is an excellent tool in the hands of designers. I enjoy using it. Thanks to the Lunacy team who had designed this tool.

    "Lunacy... where the rest of us are flocking to!"

    5 out of 5 stars Edited 2021-11-06

    Pros: Pretty much everything. Just read my sincere 'overall' review below. It offers a first person opinion, as a designer for over 25 years.

    Cons: Not very much. I would like to find something significant to complain about but it really boils down to one's personal preferences, and in that regard, it's not consequential.

    Overall: I am a Mac user and I am ABSOLUTELY blown-away by Lunacy.
    I am in shock on how flawless the UI appears... crap even after a freeze quit? It jumped right back in.

    And the freeze? Understandable... it was going online to 'number crunch' one of your online tools (remove background from an image). COMPLETELY understandable.

    But the vector tools are why I'm here (not to mention that your add ons like the avatar generator, image enlarger, icon libraries, image libraries, yadda yadda yadda are ever so cool).

    After years and years with Adobe's products (uggh) and having turned to a tool that just works for my vector work (Intaglio — yes Intaglio) I am delighted to have a tool that is the ALL-AROUND goto tool for everything I need:

    Photo bitmaps, Line vectors, pixel perfect prototyping and so on.

    Great Great Work. An Authentic Game Changer. Lightspeed Ahead Of Your Competitors In Many Many Ways.

    Good on you guys!!

    "Was waiting for Linux version"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-11-03

    Pros: I used it in windows but ever since I moved to Linux, there was no easy to use solution like this. The notable pros are-
    Easy To Use even for a Noob Like me. I just casually need to design interfaces before making a site or app.
    The Icon library is pretty much everything I need. Some premium icos are there since the publisher is icons8. Overall, great experience

    Cons: A little more extensibility, like Figma, would go a long way.

    Overall: Pretty Decent Balanced alternate to Figma/Sketch/Adobe XD. Easy To Use even for a Noob Like me. I just casually need to design interfaces before making a site or app.

    Thanks for your review! It's especially valuable to know your opinion since we haven't received much feedback from Lunacy users yet. As for extensibility, we plan to re-introduce the plugin & scripting features in future releases. Right now we are working on the redesign of these features in order to make them less OS-dependent. It's great that you find the software easy to use. We recommend you to visit our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LunacyQAteam There you can find quite a few how-to's and tips, that will make your user experience even smoother.

    "It should be called Madness! I fall in love"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-10-30

    Pros: 1. One app for mac/win/linux
    2. Low hardware usage
    3. Freedom of seeking wifi / Cellular or sitting at home/office like a prisoner
    4. Collaboration without counting seats
    5. Sketch document type
    6. Answering and fast support
    7. It's all for free

    Cons: 1. Plugins are temporarily unavailable.
    2. Not all features I want are onboard.
    3. Crashes sometimes, but not only this app showing such behavior.
    4. Icons/illustrations list is shorter than on-site.

    Overall: I didn't get any problems after Figma and Sketch. It's very close to them, like a child.
    Even my oldest laptop with AMD A-10 can be used as a host for Lunacy, it's really working.
    I think there is one more problem: not enough guides about Lunacy. I think it's one of the biggest problems for beginners.

    Cama thanks for such a detailed review and for the 5-star rating! Let me comment on some of your feedback. 1. We closed access to the plugin & scripting features for a while. It needs to redesign these features to make them less OS-dependent. This is a must-have point to erase bounds between platforms. You'll see them back in one of the future releases. 2. You can submit your feature requests or vote for the existing ones on our Lunacy forum here: https://lunatics.icons8.com/ 3. Indeed, crashes are possible. But the good news is that we're trying to fix the critical issues ASAP, and you're most likely to experience a more stable work of Lunacy with new updates. 4. Icons are stored locally so that they could be used offline, that's why their library is a bit smaller. As for illustrations, we're redesigning the style bars in order to reduce CPU load. By the way, do you know that we have a YouTube channel devoted to Lunacy? There you can find some really nice tutorials, created by other Lunacy users.

    "It's nice ... "

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-07-17

    Pros: I loved how smooth everything was , but I think there's need for improvement here and there.
    For example, we can't animate in the software like adobe XD.
    Also, allow for creating a location inside the app where all images user are stored so they can be reused.

    Cons: I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a phone mockup of sort while I tried to make a ui for Android or other devices.

    Overall: It's a nice concept.
    Like I said everything ran smoothly.
    I loved how smooth everything was, but I think there's need for improvement here and there.
