Building apps.
Waze
Love this app. Found it by accident and since then I only use this app for navigation. Dumped Google since I found it. I like its simplicity and clear instructions on navigation. I don't use or need any other feature than just navigation and clear instructions so it is perfect for me.

Figma
Figma is obviously the no. 1 choice for UI designers. It has a steep learning curve and it has high pricing which deters me using it for my projects. I prefer apps with one-off pricing.

What needs improvement

steep learning curve (6)pricing structure (5)
Strapi
Strapi has potential. It is one of the best API creation tool I've ever come across. Learning curve is a bit steep though.

What's great

API-first design (2)

What needs improvement

steep learning curve (6)
Adobe Photoshop
Their subscription plan is absolutely rip off. I hate all subscription plan models and for this very reason I hate Adobe and all their products. Photoshop has become absolutely slow on even the most powerful personal computers. Takes ages just to launch and if you edit any large image it runs out of memory. I had to finally dump Adobe and use other tools.

What needs improvement

slow performance (2)expensive subscription (2)requires high specifications (1)
Sketch
After a long hunt for my wire framing, prototyping and design tools I discovered sketch by accident. I've been using it for number of years and I use it almost daily. I like this app and it has potential. The only downside I feel is their price model which is almost becomes like yearly subscription pricing plan. I'm not big fan of subscription pricing. This is the reason I'm still stuck with very old version of sketch. I've been resisting to switch to Figma from sketch but it seems sooner rather than later I'll have to switch to Figma as all my UI designers use it. I always miss some sort of freehand tool for quick drawing, like adding comments or highlighting. It is not for UI design work but for providing feedback on screenshots which I use sketch to do.

What needs improvement

lagging behind Figma (4)subscription pricing (1)
