## Reviews

### "Create Simple, Beautiful Diagrams Very Quickly" — 5.0/5

> **Jon** | *29 March 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Whimsical is super easy to learn and use, and the diagrams that it produces are beautiful.&#10;&#10;It feels like very well polished software; it's not quirky or buggy like other solutions.&#10;&#10;I LOVE the infinite zoom - we can capture an ever-expanding arena of ideas.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't found anything I don't like\!  It's not very feature rich - but it's not supposed to be.
> 
> I'm very glad to have found Whimsical.&#10;&#10;For years, I've been creating simple to moderately-complex architecture and service diagrams using Google Draw.  That process has worked, but it's been tedious and unpleasant.  I spend more time tinkering with the drawing to make it look good than I do thinking about what I'm diagramming.  I found other applications (draw.io, LucidCharts, etc) to have a similar experience.&#10;&#10;Whimsical has been a breath of fresh air.  It provides only the tools I really need, and it looks beautiful by default. It's let me "brainstorm" out diagrams very quickly, which is what I needed: to focus on architecting, not on fiddling with diagrams.&#10;&#10;The output (PNG, share link, etc) is super convenient to use, and it's a breeze to drop into slides and other documentation.&#10;&#10;Thanks for the great tool, Whimsical team\!

### "It's spot on" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *23 November 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Whimsical's perfect for brainstorming ideas, planning projects, and presenting concepts to clients.
> 
> **Cons**: Maybe a few more advanced features would be nice, but for what I need, it's spot on.
> 
> I use it for everything from wireframing and mind mapping to creating flowcharts and user flows. Used to rely on a bunch of different tools, but Whimsical's got it all in one place.

### "Simple but effective" — 4.0/5

> **Sohaib** | *21 July 2021* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is quite good for Wireframing although I did have one dev think that my wireframe created on Whimsical was actual UI I had designed (kudos to the Whimsical team for creating such good wireframing I guess?). But Whimsical is just super easy to use. There are enough elements to create detailed wireframes.
> 
> **Cons**: Its greatest asset can also sometimes be its greatest drawdown. The simplicity means there arent as many features and templates as alternatives like Miro. Miro is like a whole eco-system, but Whimsical is more of a good standalone tool.
> 
> It was good. But I have moved to Miro now as it met all my needs.

### "Honestly the best" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 April 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I rarely get this excited about a product, but Whimsical changed my daily workflow. It is so easy to create easy, elegant diagrams and wireframes. And it's even easier to share - just send anyone a link and they'll be able to access the latest version of what you're working on.
> 
> **Cons**: I can only think of really minor things, like when I'm trying to comment on someone's diagram, some of the elements are not eligible to have comments added to them (like arrows and text).
> 
> Here's an example of one of the times Whimsical saved me: we had a super urgent fix my team needed to make with our software, but everyone kept talking in circles because there were so many different scenarios we needed to account for. I quickly put together a flowchart in Whimsical and sent it out so that everyone could get on the same page. I had to keep updating the diagram, which would have been a huge pain if I were creating a file in Sketch, then exporting it and emailing out each version to everyone. But with Whimsical, I could make all the changes I wanted and anyone with the link could see the latest changes in real time. It made everything so much smoother.

### "Helps teams find the best ways to plan joint tasks" — 5.0/5

> **Mohamed** | *13 February 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Whimsical is one of the best tools for teamwork, as it enables us to interact in real time through the many tools it provides to easily collect, synthesize, and present ideas. It's great how we can gather team input, and our customizable ready-made templates help us a lot, so we can collaborate on graphs, wireframes, and flowcharts and bring them out with great visualization. In addition, Whimsical also enables us to insert and format all the notes and add shapes, images and videos within the boards with ease.
> 
> **Cons**: Whimsical is free of complications, but sometimes when the canvas contains a lot of text boxes, shapes, and arrows, the system becomes slow and this may pose some difficulties in linking and coordinating the components as required.
> 
> It is wonderful how, thanks to Whimsical, we were able to involve all team members in preparing comprehensive dashboards that visually illustrate the workflow charts and models that have been agreed upon, so that all members have the ability to accurately understand the duties, sequence of operations, and required procedures.
