Question 1

What are app prototyping tools?

Accepted Answer

Prototyping tools enables users to create interactive models of web pages or applications by weaving together visual assets, editorial copy, navigational elements, and other components to create a visualization of a website or app. Key to good app prototyping tools is the ability to demonstrate how various elements, CTAs, and pages link together, thereby demonstrating how a final design should both look and function.

Question 2

How do I use app prototyping tools?

Accepted Answer

Designed for ease of use, UI prototype tools tend to be fairly straight forward, requiring only sign up before a user can begin working on their project. A lot of prototyping tools come with some form of onboarding material to guide users however, more user-friendly prototyping tools (such as Uizard) include pre-made templates and components that can easily be dragged and dropped to suit each user or individual project.

Question 3

What is the best app prototyping tool?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to what is the best prototyping tool, this largely depends on the level of design experience of the user. For users that have little to no design experience, a tool made for non-designers (such as Uizard) is likely more appropriate. For more advanced designers, tools like Figma are a common choice.

Question 4

Are there any free prototyping tools?

Accepted Answer

Many of the leading UI prototyping tools out there come with some form of free plan which allows users to test and try the software before advancing onto a paid plan. With tools such as Uizard, free plans come with more than enough features to help users create prototypes for their products or projects.
