Overall Satisfaction with Marvel

This is a great app for really basic mockup. You don't go for quality mockup but for fast and unconsistent screen that still demonstrates the workflow. When a precise work is wanted, it becomes a clumsy tool. This tool is best used when screenshots are imported and a workflow needs to be created. When you want to design an app from scratch, this is not the right tool.
  • Workflow between screenshots
  • No training needed
  • Really basic design
  • Design of mockups is not enough
  • No major update in a lot of time
  • No "zoom out" -> one screen design at a time, I'll like to see the big picture
  • Workflow of screenshots
  • A bad design tool use as the only design tool of the company, we loose a lot in UX
The managment selected Marvel, the users selected Figma. Thus, we work on Marvel and we have issues with the UX of our apps because of that. Figma enable to zoom out and easily design across several screens. It enables component that have a behaviour in one screen. Figma is a more complete tool. But has a slighlty longer learning curve, that is worth it if you don't like to only use 5% of the tool.

Would you buy Marvel again?

Marvel app is suited for fast prototyping / mockup. It's a nice tool to link screenshot together and test it on your phone with the dedicated app.
However, Marvel is not suited to create designs and has no free plan which is a huge issue for small business that test apps during the selection process.
