Great Designing tool
Reviewed on 11/02/2023
Pros
Good design tool to make prototype and work on your project. It's great that It allows converting your design from various apps like XD , Figma directly to usable code.
Cons
Many elements made using this has wrong dimensions in comparison to your display size. And the workspace is quite hectic to use plus it needs to be faster and optimized .

Experience with Anima was mind-blowing, we have reconsidered our approach to prototyping. We have developed new business opportunities with limited cost thanks to this product. We believe more and more coding languages support are to be expected. This is the kind of tool we wish to have internally and possibly choose to customize with machine learning model or even simply a specific framework snippets. Unfortunately even with all the new possibilities offered by Anima, we have experienced resistance to the change. So maybe we didn't communicate well enough to the team how Anima can provide solid time saving value added proposition to our frontend development workflow. We believe this kind of assistive-tech-tool is going to be almost mandatory in the near future.
Pros
Anima integration with Fygma is a very fluid workflow, even we the free product we knew what to expect. Using the paid product was easy and useful. The UI/UX is good.
Cons
Regarding the code language available, we've found it was too limited for our use-case, we have decided to switch to React with TypeScript support, which has a notoriously hard liftoff phase.
At the end we ran out of time partly because of this.
Anima should/could provide a low-code view of the generated code, because sometimes it's too long.
We would have hoped for faster conversion of the anima project (only page/feature per page at the moment of testing )
Anima may/should add unit tests to the generated code (we may have missed it though)
Anima may/should provide a cloud based IDE for peer coding
Alternatives Considered

Response from AnimaApp
Dear George,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. We truly value the feedback and loyalty you have shown over the past 2.5 years as a user of our Anima for Adobe XD plugin.
We understand your frustration regarding the discontinuation of support for Adobe XD, following Adobe’s decision to stop its development. This directly impacts our ability to provide compatible updates and features. Our goal is always to offer our users the best experience and most robust tools, which now increasingly involves focusing our resources on platforms that are actively evolving.
We highly recommend transitioning to Figma, which is fully supported by Anima and offers advanced features. Our team is here to assist with this migration so you can leverage all the capabilities Figma offers.
We are sorry we couldn’t help here and we were happy to refund you for the last few months of your subscription. Thank you again for being a valued member of our community. Warm regards,

It is a new platform for me and is working well. Clear to work out. I have had incredible support help from Shira, she has been the best support I have received today. Going the extra mile to explain to me and has been patient and exceptionally helpful. First class on her behalf.
Pros
Easy, clear and straight forward. The support help I have received from Shira has been incredible. I like that the code is easy accessible and easily exported.
Cons
I find plugins sometimes dont work especially on the Figma side. I did get stuck in finding my way around the platform.

It was the only platform that seemed to export code in 3 different languages that appeared straight forward to do so. I had looked at Workflow but Anima worked with Figma and that made sense.Response from AnimaApp

We've had a lot of fun learning the software and are continuing to try new things and figure out how best to integrate it into our workflow. It's also enabling us to challenge our current workflow too. The support team have been particularly reactive and helpful, which is really appreciated!
Pros
The responsive tools are great and the ability to build in certain functions such as text input, interactions, video etc. has helped us bring our designs to life and present them to our clients.
Cons
The comments feature definitely needs improvement and the software has been prone to crashing for us when syncing updates to projects.
Response from AnimaApp
Hi Shannon, thank you so much for taking the time to review us!
The syncing time has been under our radar and we improved it A LOT over the past few weeks. Make sure you get the latest version of the plugin to enjoy the fast syncing!
Happy designing!

I just create one component and want to learn React code for doing the component. If it is only 15 screens then I will run out of the option as I just want to see how individual components created in React. Can you please clarify more on this topic

This tool is great for a variety of things!
Reviewed on 24/07/2022
Pros
At first, we used it to make responsive prototypes, but we realized that it could be used for many other things, including sales demos, landing pages, and more.
The software is easy to use, helps us get things done faster, and most importantly it doesn't require engineers to be involved!
Cons
It doesn't generate perfect code, but it does save us a lot of time in development

Honestly I don't think we could have progressed as we have without it. It's been a great journey.
Pros
I love being able to make a creative, custom responsive website in Sketch... and then, publishing it with a custom domain and boom it's live and it works. With contact forms, embedded media, and interactive components. Our dev uses the code generated from Anima for more complex sites. Makes our whole process smoother and more flexible.
Cons
I feel like Anima could do more with education on how to use their product, and also have live updates on their site about features that may not work right away after a design software update -- and when they will be ready. Their customer service is great though.

I started using Sketch and found out that I need Anima to upload my website. Apart from that, I know that I can use it to collaborate with team (if I had one) other than that I've never really taken the time to learn what else it can do as sometimes the way you try to educate your users is maybe too quick (like a lot of modern programs which show these short videos that bang and whoosh a lot but finding out what I need to do is so difficult or not interesting)
Pros
You press a button and it uploads your website for you.
Cons
I don't really know what it does apart from upload my software.
Response from AnimaApp
Hey Leszek, thanks for the review!
Anima is a design-to-code platform that lets designers create fully responsive prototypes from Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch, and eases the handoff to developers by automatically translating the design into developer-friendly HTML, Vue, and React code.
If you need any support to use Anima you can either reach out to [email protected] or reach out in the chat on the Anima platform. Our support reps should get back to you within 1-2 business days.

The overall experience was great. We tried different applications of code generating for UI components and Anima was the best one, so that's the application we eventually decided to use for our purposes.
Pros
It's very easy and intuitive to use, even for users that are not part of the high tech industry. The interface is very friendly and explanatory.
Cons
Sometimes the UI stuck and the connection between different components wasn't defined well but it was solved when we tried to connect the components once again.

Useful, quick and dirty web mockups but too clumsy and inaccurate to be able to design a full website using this software. So a useful process tool but not for the final design.
Pros
It allowed me to show others some quick and rough web design ideas which could be shared on a mockup web page.
Cons
It is does not convert everything and still requires some hand tweaking--but because I did not create the HTML, this is more difficult than if I had started from scratch.
