Introduction
What is Design Feedback & Review & Why it Matters
Design feedback and review is the process of evaluating creative assets, collecting stakeholder input, and refining designs before final approval. It requires clear communication between designers, clients, and project managers.
Traditional methods, like scattered emails, static PDFs, or endless presentations, often lead to confusion, misaligned expectations, and project delays.
BugSmash centralizes design review with contextual annotations, version management, and flexible sharing, ensuring feedback is actionable and approvals happen faster.
Challenges
Common Challenges in Design Feedback & Review
Collecting and managing design feedback can quickly become inefficient without the right tools. Here are the biggest obstacles teams face.
Scattered Feedback
Feedback spread across emails, chats, and slides makes it difficult to track.
Lack of Context
Comments often lack clarity about which design element they refer to.
Version Confusion
Stakeholders sometimes review outdated files, causing duplicate or conflicting feedback.
No Prioritization
Teams waste time debating which feedback matters most without a clear system.
Slow Approvals
Waiting for stakeholders to review designs drags out project timelines.
Misalignment Between Roles
Designers, clients, and managers often work in silos, slowing progress.

“I recently used BugSmash for a website project where I needed to gather feedback without the hassle of scheduling meetings. The platform allowed me to record an asynchronous video using OBS, which I then uploaded to BugSmash. Clients were able to comment on specific timestamps of the video as I posed my questions, and surprisingly, even those who aren't very tech-savvy managed to provide insightful feedback. I had previously attempted similar processes with other platforms like Loom, but BugSmash stood out since it requires no sign-in (optional)—users simply add their name. Overall, the value and affordability of BugSmash make it an impressive choice for anyone needing a comprehensive review solution for PDFs, images, audio, video, and live websites.“
