The UI Totally Sucks
The user interface for XD is a complete piece of crap, at least on Windows. Why not just have an actual hand tool, rather than make people try to figure out stupid combinations of space bar clicks, two-finger trackpad drags, etc. What a garbage interface you have made here. I dunno, how about just a fucking scrollbar? The usability of this thing sucks pretty bad --- Steve

Thanks for your feedback. I’d suggest upvoting the issues that address your biggest pain points instead of sending a rant as a ticket.

Just found out XD used to be free. Here's my suggestion. Make it free again until it has scroll bars. Software that costs money usually has scroll bars.

Hey Steve, Its the company's management style that sucks. Every adobe products are unstable. Just say it, name any one it is so buggy. IDK why? You cant rotate artboard in ipad version photoshop which is like not having headhole in a tshirt and tailor asks you send feedbacks as mail in their website. The fault is on CEO just satisfying the shareholders needs and increasing the worth of Adobe. It's not the engineers nor the management team. Its the CEO that needs to prioritize things at a company. Adobe will be next Nokia if they dont change the management style, which again only CEO can do. WOW ADOBE ur inside Forbes 500 list. Congrats to CEO for receiving the awards. Its just starnge. Why create XD a vector based software when u have illustrator that to the same thing. Just fucking optiomize the AI?? Why XD because shit plans man. I'm done. XDXDXD

I'm frustrated with XD because it hangs when I try to open docs that were saved to the cloud. Also, my organization has not enabled sharing which prevents me from sharing prototypes - which is frustrating... I wished there were other ways of sharing prototypes... maybe as a packaged js "jar" (à la processing). My biggest gripe with the interface is the way that the plugins work. Plugin panels should be allowed to become floating windows in the app so you can have more than one plugin active at a time. Maybe I'm using an icon plugin with a wireframe plugin simultaneously. It's clunky and feels unfinished. I'd expect keyboard short cuts to be the same across adobe products. But the command D function is missing. Also, if I wanted to select two corners of a rectangle to only round those two corners - I can't do it. It's all or none. Id agree that the wireframe labels are small. When prototyping, it can be difficult to make connections because the blue connection lines can get in the way. I hope this is helpful.

Totally agree, just moving around the interface is difficult, yes just a basic scrolling bar

I agree, I'm really struggling guys to read the labels especially on a HD monitor.
