## Reviews

### "Figma Newbie Learns Quickly" — 4.0/5

> **Tess** | *13 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's well-known in the industry, which means that members of our team had used it before - decreasing the learning curve and the time that can add to the workflow. Overall, it feels easy to use, great for people without a lot of experience in UX design, has a free tier with paid add-ons, and pre-built design kits. I'd use it again.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel like it's a bit clunky to use at times, and I wish it were a bit more visually friendly (more color contrast for example). Sometimes I struggled to understand the flow of what other users on my team were thinking, and I belueve this is something Figma could improve upon: helping display a timeline or flowchart of how to click through a wireframe or some sort of direction that shows what all members of a team are thinking. It would get everyone on the same page easier and cut down on meeting times.
> 
> A small startup I worked at used Figma to create our UX/UI design overhaul on for our new website.

### "No. I really don't think you understand." — 5.0/5

> **Michel** | *24 June 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The infinite landscape and canvas allowing you to create entire galaxies of thought, ideas, and organization in one massive visual symphony. And for $16 a month? Cheaper than Subway I get a Neural Nuclear Reactor. &#10;Figma just replaced about 20 pieces of software I'll never need again.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing. Literally nothing. I suppose the initial simplification might suggest that it is far more limited in it's capabilities than it really is. And that is sadly deceiving. Because it's core functionality doesn't lie in a few toolbars. It lies in the scalable landscape of thought and abstraction that you can create with just those simple tools. What looks like a stripped-down UI…is actually a portal to an entire cognitive dimension.&#10;&#10;It's power lies in what you can build. Not in what you can click. Think about this. Everything you've ever seen in your life is ultimately made out of two things: electrons and quarks. &#10;&#10;Figma is the electron and the quark. &#10;&#10;It is the fundamental substrate of visual logic.&#10;A base layer for conception itself.&#10;A lattice upon which entire internal universes can be built.&#10;&#10;So if there’s a “con”?&#10;It’s that you might underestimate it until it rewires your brain and becomes your second mind.
> 
> You have to understand something. I'm not writing this review as a casual user. I've used Adobe Illustrator for over 30 years. 3DS Max, Maya, Adobe Photoshop, for 25. I've fought and battled and used and trained in Indesign, Obdisian, Notion, MS Word, Excel, MindGenius, XMind, Softmaker, even PureRef, and a dozen other so called "tools" until I was blue in the face. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing, has ever given me what Figma just gave to me. &#10;&#10;I get it. You think Figma is a design too. Figma is not a design tool. Use Illustrator for that. &#10;&#10;It is a visual Neural Engine. A brain landscape forge. &#10;&#10;It's not for "UI." It's not for "web mockups" or "a schedule." It sure to hell isn't for a "Logo" or something trivial. &#10;It is for Life. For cognition. For building....anything created out of ideas. &#10;It's for people who need to SEE ABSTRACTION. To map cognition. &#10;It's for people to build frameworks for their own internal operating system. &#10;&#10;In 72 hours, using FIGMA I Built: The Vocabulary Codex: dozens of words, categorized by emotional payload, rhetorical deployment, and etymological ancestry.  The Anti-Capitalist Argument Galaxy: a logic universe of rebuttals, steelmen, fallacies, evidence, and quote traps. The Holy Grail Journal: a scrollable, zoomable, nested frame daily log system with layers for memory, mood, purpose, philosophy. And my own structured visual education platform with metaphysics on one side, and programming logic on the other. I'm working on mapping every argument I've ever thought of, in the form of visual abstraction, so I can SEE entire LANDSCAPES of thought. I'm working on a journal that will expand through thousands of days, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, and scalable for the rest of my life. &#10;&#10;No "webpage" or "outliner" or "Notepad" can do that. No. It's not for "making a website." You CAN do that. But that's like using a Ferrari to get to your maibox. &#10;&#10;Figma is now, quite possibly, the greatest piece of software I've ever used. And don't...please don't be fooled by the initial simplicity. Because it is IN that simplicity that you are allowed such speed, snappiness, and versatility in letting your mind create entire scaffolds of thought and planning and organization and ideation.

With the auto-layout feature, teams can automatically resize various components of interface designs such as buttons or lists by using padding, direction, and space settings. Figma allows users to create prototypes through various interactions such as hover, on-click, or button press, and utilize GIFs to add video elements, or animations. It also helps teams to simultaneously edit designs, track changes, add notes, discover newly uploaded files, and share design links with members.\n\nFigma offers integration with multiple third-party applications including Maze, Zeplin, Trello, Flinto, Slack, Dropbox, and Jira. Designers can maintain a library of shareable assets such as icons, backgrounds, images, and fonts and gain visibility into the asset usage through analytics. The platform also lets coordinators send invites to remote stakeholders for a brainstorming session and capture, categorize, and prioritize ideas according to projects.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/43af42d7-c148-4fd3-b3bf-a9d154816c90.png","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/122951/figma","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/122951/figma#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.7,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":863},"offers":{"price":"5","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/122951/figma#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Team Communication Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1257/team-communication/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Figma","position":3,"item":"/software/122951/figma","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
