"The expanded cross-application integration alone makes it a must-have for the software’s core market—mobile and Web user interface designers."
Pariah Burke, Macworld, May 19, 2010
"When you add all of the workflow and productivity enhancements, the integration with Device Central and Flash Catalyst, and the improved type handling, I think that this makes for a very serviceable release and especially for those who use Fireworks regularly and for those who are looking to take the plunge, that I can very highly recommend this release."
T. Michael Testi, BlogCritics, August 13, 2010
"Without a doubt, I find Fireworks CS5 to be an excellent program, simply a Must Have."

"If you're primarily a web developer who is a bit gun shy with Illustrator, many of the new features will be of immense value."

“The jQuery mobile feature has made mobile prototyping more feasible. In the past, custom themes for prototypes would have taken too much time, or we would have simplified the functionality in order to see the design on a device. Now our design team can create and modify jQuery themes for mobile apps in an efficient and simple way so that we have both the appearance and the functionality in the mobile prototype.”—David M. Hogue, Ph.D., Vice President Experience Design/Fluid Fellow
“At Fluid, we are truly designing for multi-screens, and we use a broad range of the toolset within Fireworks to create wireframes, graphics, and prototypes. For example, we take advantage of multiple pages to provide a complete user experience in one document, and we use states to represent alternate versions of select pages and screens. This makes it easy for our team to manage the design concepts and assets and then to deliver it to our clients in a simple way.”— David M. Hogue, Ph.D., Vice President Experience Design/Fluid Fellow
"Macromedia Fireworks 8 is critical for us to complete our new Internet portal and for maintaining the sites our students complete for nonprofit agencies and community organizations. Fireworks 8 enables us to quickly create high-quality images, move vector and bitmap files between other graphic programs, and build upon our design comps with ease."—Rick Reece, Instructional Technology Specialist, Broward County Schools.
"Fireworks CS3 is at the core of our design process. With its ability to robustly work with bitmaps and vectors, including Photoshop and Illustrator imports, we have a full range of options for creating immersive and beautiful prototype designs."—Lance Christmann, Chief Interface Designer, effectiveUI
