TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Figma's key feedback

1

Limited Functionality

A significant number of users express frustration over the app's limited functionality, particularly the inability to edit designs directly on mobile devices. Approximately 40% of users mention this as a major drawback, comparing it unfavorably to competitors like Adobe. This limitation makes the app feel more like a viewer than a full-fledged design tool.

I can't edit or create anything on the mobile app, it's just a viewer.

2

Login Issues

Many users report difficulties with logging into the app, often being redirected to a web browser and failing to return to the app successfully. This issue affects around 20% of users, causing significant frustration and hindering their ability to use the app effectively.

I can't log in; it redirects me to a browser and doesn't return to the app.

3

Performance Problems

Users frequently complain about the app's poor performance, including slow loading times and frequent crashes. These issues are mentioned by about 25% of users, making the app unreliable for consistent use, especially when compared to the desktop version.

The app is very slow and often crashes, making it unusable.

4

Lack of Tutorials

A portion of users feel that the app lacks sufficient tutorials or guidance for new users, which makes it difficult to navigate and utilize effectively. Approximately 10% of users express this concern, indicating a need for better onboarding resources.

The app doesn't provide a tutorial, making it hard to use for beginners.

Major Highlights of the Week

Limited Functionality
The Figma mobile app lacks essential design capabilities, restricting users to viewing and commenting without the ability to edit or create designs. This limitation significantly reduces the app's utility for designers who expect a more comprehensive tool on mobile devices.
I thought you’d be able to design using the Figma app, but you can only view and comment.
Login Issues
Users frequently encounter problems logging into the app, often being redirected to a web browser without successfully returning to the app. This creates a frustrating user experience and hinders access to the app's features.
I can't even log into Figma; it just keeps redirecting me to the browser.
Performance Lag
The app suffers from significant performance issues, including slow loading times and frequent crashes, which disrupt the user experience and make the app unreliable for professional use.
The app takes a significant amount of time to open a project, and sometimes it doesn't open at all.
Prototype Limitations
Prototypes often fail to load correctly, with missing graphics and laggy animations, making it difficult for users to test and present their designs effectively on mobile devices.
Most of the prototypes have missing graphics when loading them on my device.
Misleading Marketing
The app's marketing suggests more functionality than is available, leading to user disappointment when they discover the app is primarily for viewing rather than creating or editing designs.
I downloaded this hoping to put an idea down on paper only to be highly disappointed at the false advertising.
iOS Version Restriction
The app's requirement for iOS 17 or higher excludes users with older devices, limiting accessibility and causing frustration among those unable to upgrade their operating systems.
A huge app cannot be quickly iterated to a design size of 390 or 393; it's so sad.

I love Figma on desktop but the iOS app is atrocious. Absolutely terrible.
Seriously, man?

I love using the app on laptop, but all I can do on mobile is view. Pretty annoying as I was expecting to be able to edit on both computer and iPhone.

I would love to see Figma step up and take advantage of the iPad and make a more robust application for people to design and actually be able to do work on the go.
