The change is instant and this is a great way to choose the perfect font for your needs.Īll of this is nice and all, and could entice some folks on a budget to try the app out as a means of avoiding an ongoing Adobe subscription, but responsiveness and elegance isn’t really a killer feature. Highlight some text for instance, and as you scroll over different fonts, you can see the highlighted text update before you even click on your selected font. This kind of responsiveness and on-the-fly changes are felt throughout.

Moving an image warps the text instantly, so you can see the changes and be as precise as you need to be, even on an old computer (we tested it on a 2014 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and an ever-dwindling amount of storage space). So, how does Designer actually handle?Ĭonsidering it’s a brand new app, released in late June 2019 (despite the fact it’s already at version 1.7.1), it runs remarkably well.Įverything feels quick and responsive. But an app is more than the sum of its features.
