"Efficiency Booster for Social Marketers"
What do you like best about Stencil?

If you ever felt you need the speed to start creating fast and well-crafted images for social channels, Stencil may well be it. The user interface is intuitive and ux-friendly. No messy confusion on where to find what. Selecting the font type and images is a breeze. Use their preset template as a starting guide. Stencil comes with a huge library of free stock images and icons. In fact the icon library is not only huge, it comes organized with the related set icons. Oh, they just launched their wordpress plugin to work along within the WP media library! Sweet. And for chrome users, be sure to take advantage of their extension to quickly pull out Stencil's design interface and start designing efficiently.

What do you dislike about Stencil?

The design Templates variety seem a little out-dated but then again, visual design is subjective. Nothing much to complain about.

What problems is Stencil solving and how is that benefiting you?

rather than pulling out Photoshop to design templates for social media, Stencil allows for quick creation. Especially useful for virtual assistants.

"It served its purpose"
What do you like best about Stencil?

It's a good service if you want to develop social media posts. It provides a lot of options and is easy to build posts. It also has a lot of options. But to be honest I replaced it with Canva which is far more robust.

What do you dislike about Stencil?

It's not as good as Canva and even though I bought a lifetime deal through Appsumo for Stencil, my business needs have moved beyond what Stencil can do for it. I think they have a long way to go to match Canva, though they are trying.

What problems is Stencil solving and how is that benefiting you?

A good way to build graphics. Specifically graphics for my social media posts. It's easy to use for that purpose and can be used on my iPad which is important for me.
