Your consumer rights in Singapore
Cooling-off and statutory rights

- For App Store or Google Play purchases, Apple or Google handle refund requests under their platform rules.

Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Praised for its UI/UX design tools, plugin ecosystem, symbols and libraries, and efficient export/hand-off features.
- Cloud features improve sharing and collaboration for product teams.
Negative feedback
- Seen as relatively expensive for teams needing individual licenses.
- Only available on macOS; collaboration and cloud sync are sometimes viewed as weaker than web-first competitors.
- Limited raster/photo editing and occasional instability with very large files; plugin management can be challenging.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Export and download all documents, artboards and assets you need locally.
- Save any version history or important file copies outside Sketch Cloud.
- Keep receipts, invoice numbers and account details for future reference.
If you purchased through a platform
- Save App Store or Google Play receipts if you need a refund request or proof of purchase.
- Record which account (Apple ID / Google Account / Sketch account) holds the subscription to avoid cancelling the wrong one.
Common mistakes
Not downloading files
Users sometimes cancel and later discover they did not download important design files. Remember documents become read-only then deleted after 90 days.
Expecting platform refunds or a statutory right
Expecting an automatic 14-day cooling-off refund or thinking Sketch will refund App Store/Google purchases are common mistakes. Follow Sketch’s stated refund policy and platform refund processes instead.
