Whimsical

The best charting software I've used to date

What do you like best? I found the options for colouring to be plentiful, the connectors do a good job of remaining connected to elements as you move them around...and the ability to seamlessly switch between the structure types for mixed-use diagrams was excellent! What do you dislike? I do wish that it were easier to align/merge connectors between elements and make the arrows connect at consistent points each time. It doesn't matter much for internal work, but for anything to be ...

Much needed software for Information Architecture

What do you like best? I was on a lookout for “that one software” which eased my pressure to deliver what I wanted for creating INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE and having tried out various other software’s which has been available in the market since almost decade didn’t actually deliver compared to what whimsical does. Especially the minimal tools offered which can almost do anything, starting from the User Interface of Whimsical, The bright default colours and shapes gives a modern ...

This app helps us design our service from scratch

What do you like best? The app has three options in order to work with flowcharts, wire frame and sticky notes. Working with the flowcharts is really great because allows us to generate new procedures and try it, before we can bring it in practice. The wire frame allows us to show our services online and by sending it on email to our customers, according the requirements asked. The sticky note is really easy to use, just include a small message to your co-worker. What do you dislike? ...

Beatiful, simple-yet-powerful ideas tool

What do you like best? A lot of Whimsical "just works" – you create shapes, you connect them, things snap satisfyingly into place, and you can get your ideas down quickly and accurately. It's like a whiteboard, an infographic, and Sketch had a baby. What do you dislike? Some more smart snapping would be awesome once you start doing more complex things like aligning different shapes together, changing their sizes, etc. – it works, but needs some finagling. What business problems ...

an amazing new design and planning tool

What do you like best? Whimsical was introduced to me by my design team and has since changed my life. I used to use power point or google presentations to design work flows - programs like visio were too complicated/feature bloated. Whimsical makes it incredibly intuitive and easy to use to make work flow diagrams, with automated connectors and design tools. What do you dislike? Sometimes, trying to pull connectors to the spot you want can be difficult and you end up augmenting the ...

Whimsical makes Workflow Diagrams easy

What do you like best? It is every easy to create workflow diagrams and then share the same with the team. What do you dislike? 1) Limited number of free boards that they provide:-) 2) I should be able to change the font size and type and not just mention S/M/L 3) Ability to crop the image that is imported Recommendations to others considering the product: Explore the platform, it is very self explanatory and easy to use. You should be able to put together your first ...

Easy-to-use online mapping tool

What do you like best? I like that the tool is online, just by opening a web page and logging in you can access to the tool. I like that you can create a team, different workspaces with different boards within. I like that there is also the possibility to have some private boards. What do you dislike? I don't like that the free boards are very limited to a small number. I don't like that the export file type is just .png. I would like to have different ones, including .PDF. I also ...

For a fast prototypation is one of the best solutions

What do you like best? I love Whimsical because is really straightforward and lets you create mindmaps, wireframes, flowcharts and sticky notes in a glimpse. The look&feel of the software is nice and there are enough customizations available with colours, dimensions of the text and shapes. What do you dislike? Sometimes you can find some bugs related to drag & drop and is annoying to reallocate the items on the board. There are very few free boards available. The export is not ...

Prototyping like magic

What do you like best? Easy to use, good collaboration options and incredibly easy wireframing. Can't even imagine how we lived before that. I have to admit that we didn't use any prototyping tools before that and went straight from paper and google drawings What do you dislike? The customer journey mapping is a bit clumsy and almost impossible to view from a laptop, surely requires a professional monitor. Obviously, it's not a problem for designers but a lot of stakeholders that ...

Interesting tool to share and collaborate on flows, wireframe and mind map

What do you like best? Dead simple, clean and zen like UI: it makes it easy to start creating What do you dislike? Collaboration not so easy: finding how to share documents + creating a team work and so on is not straightforward What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? A shared team workplace for graphical documents
