Adobe Edge Reflow

Adobe Edge Reflow supplies web designers with useful and comprehensive tools for creating sites. It is wrapped in a modern, attractive and clear-cut interface that makes the entire task more enjoyable.

In order to work with this app, you need to log in with an Adobe ID to download it and every time you want to log into Adobe Creative Cloud. The installation procedure is relatively fast.

Made from a large window with a predominantly dark theme, Adobe Edge Reflow lets users get started with a project by adjusting settings related to the grid (e.g. columns, gutters, opacity), layout (e.g. size, margin, padding, float) and styling (e.g. background, borders, shadows). Modifications can be previewed in real time.

You can use a selection tool, draw boxes, add a text box as well as insert image and buttons easily and arrange them in the project via drag-and-drop support. Meanwhile, the right side of the window includes panels with the elements existing in the project to seamlessly select them, the asset library and pages, along with plugins for Adobe Edge Inspect and Photoshop.

Visual styles can be copied, pages can be duplicated while drawn objects can be arranged, aligned, grouped and positioned in the background in any way. It is also possible to zoom in and out, show a grid and enable snapping, as well as enable shiny web features when it comes to filters and CSS regions. Once completed, the project can be exported and prepared for the code editor.

We have not come across any issues in our tests, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It uses low CPU and high RAM, and may take a while to execute commands, though. On top of that, we expected more features. Nevertheless, Adobe Edge Reflow comes packed with handy and straightforward tools for putting together web designs.
