Alex Ross (ID: 000000c0b428d730) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 I use Hexus to send demos to our B2B partners to make it easy to understand our product. It's super easy to record user flows and send guides. Setup was a snap. Highly recommend!

Emily Wall (ID: 000000a38629f761) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/01/2023 I am exploring Hexus myself this semester to vet it for use in my spring university course on Human Computer Interaction. I am finding it super easy to use for creating system walkthroughs, so I'm planning to have students use Hexus to communicate the intended functionality of their designs. That will help me factor in both intention and execution when I grade UI designs.
