Reaction from Beta Testers & Zealous Customers
“XD positions itself very well because I can sketch a
few ideas out, get a prototype, get it on my phone,
and just very rapidly change it in real time. Super
simple, super fast, super easy to use.”
—Marc Hemion
CEO & Founder, Design Inc.

productive I am in #ProjectComet”

—@icraftdesign
“I’ve almost got the rough-
draft prototype done for

three hours.” —@ItsTheSeff
