Adobe XD is the Choice

After reviewing each platform extensively, I decided to go with Adobe XD as the tool to use for designing the application prototype. First of all, our team purchased memberships to the Adobe Creative Cloud which provides us access with all Adobe products. Purchasing a membership to another platform would be irresponsible as it would waste our funds. Second of all, the creative vectors make it easy for designers to manipulate the look of our application. Additionally, the ability to connect to other Adobe programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator means we can utilize these design aspects in the final product. Third of all, although you need internet access to use the Cloud feature, designers don’t need to rely on the internet to complete their tasks in Adobe XD.
