VistaCreate Reviews

Exceptional deal. Combined with DepositPhotos (or any stock image site), you can quickly bang out unique imagery using their template gallery. Are the design tools Adobe-Illustrator levels of variety? No (for example, you can't flip an image horizontally or vertically--but who cares, you can do that with your native OS). What you're getting here is a rich catalogue of design schemes that you can play with an customize to make your own. Truly awesome, not sure why I didn't review this sooner.

| purchased the VistaCreate Lifetime Deal and had an issue redeeming my AppSumo code. The support team, especially Oksana, was incredibly responsive and helpful. They quickly downgraded my account so I could apply the code, and everything worked perfectly!

The platform itself is fantastic, offering 200K+ templates and 70M+ royalty-free assets, making it a great tool for effortless design. Highly recommend both the product and their top-tier customer service!

Where do I start?

-Can't edit grouped elements and therefore need to ungroup and regroup to correct a typo.
-No measurements to the page - everything needs to be eyeballed.
-Very limited templates, specifically business related - no business presentation documents.
-Glitchy drag and drop in that it will grab the wrong element.
-Weird highlighting of elements in that it will change the colour on something you didn't grab.
-Accessing layers is a pain and it's limited.
-Background remover is unreliable in that you lose part of image when removing a background.
-No ability to connect a custom domain to brand links
-Search functionality is very limited (e.g. I re-sized my presentation to 11x8.5" and it says there are no templates in that size - really? Nothing horizontally oriented? Nothing at all?)

After asking a question, not receiving a reply, and then reading other similar questions, I learned that they haven't really updated the software in 2 years. Same complaints and requests 2 years later. No thank you.

If you are not the customizing type, then it will be fine. But if you have used something like Canva, prepare to lower your expectations significantly. It says it's an alternative to Canva, it looks like Canva...but it's Canva in 2017 not 2025. I'd rather spend $150 per year on Canva than $80 once on VistaCreate. I hate hate hate products that pretend to be something they are not.

I played around and couldn't believe the ease of use. I place it on the level of Canva and choose to make this my go to app before Canva. I found my designs to be easy to make and I had no problem with designing from any of the templates. I believe out of all the apps that I purchased I'm very happy with VistaCreate otherwise I wouldn't leave a review.

There are nice designs here - but I just lost all the time I had potentially saved by having templates because its just impossible to simply select an object if its behind something else. And text is even more awkward. Sometimes you want to select one thing but it constantly selects any other object, text or photo you accidently touched too and shift and double clicking will not let that sucker go. Just a terrible terrible first impression
