Nice looking tool...50% off right now...anyone using it? http://www.appcooker.com

It looks nice, and the price is just right. I bought a copy of 'Balsamic Mockups' last year when I was contracting out work. It was around $80, so appcooker seems like a steal. However, since I started doing my own code, I barely touch it. Wireframing is nice for someone who doesn't know how to code, but I think it wastes my time. I've found "Interface Builder" to be a better solution for the actual screen design; I don't have to do it twice and I can see the results immediately on my device, or simulator. If it's for a client, I use 'Clarify' to provide the documentation on each screen, with a screen shot of the simulator, with arrows and stuff to explain features or points of detail. For App 'Concepts' I've been using a free 'Mind Map' software called 'Mindix' that does a pretty good job of allowing me to rattle off a bunch of screens and ideas, and put them in an organized manner later. It's not pretty at all; it looks like a half-wit's organizational chart. But it works for me :) They're all tools though. If it works for you, or provides a solution to a problem, then $20 isn't much to pay. Cheers! -- Smug

They have a set of free PNG icons there...grabbed those for later use! Mark

Took me a while to find those, lol! http://www.appcooker.com/overview/sketch-draft-design-ios-icons/ Waaaaay down at the bottom of the page... Cheers! -- Smug

LOL...you sneaky guys :-) Here is a direct link: http://www.appcooker.com/wp-content/uploads/AppCookerIconsPNG/AppCooker%20Icons%20PNG.zip

Any thing similar from the mac store?

@feraco. Here is a free one: Pencil Project (open source, cross platform) http://pencil.evolus.vn/Default.html Otherwise, just search the Mac App store. Enjoy :-)

Darn it, AppCooker is $50, was it for $25 just a day ago? I use Blueprint on the iPad. It works really well as a means to send Users an interactive mockup. Blueprint Lite is free: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blueprint-lite/id407188253?mt=8 I've seen the Pros charge hefty consulting fees, all they used is Blueprint and AppCooker during the Requirements-Design phase! -- Niraj

Briefs is the newest mockup tool for the Mac GiveaBrief.com On the Mac App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/briefs/id626221782?mt=12

@Niraj. Yep, looks like AppCooker went back up to $50...was 50% off. Try following me to see my posts more quickly :-) Have you tried the open source Pencil Project (open source, cross platform): http://pencil.evolus.vn/Default.html Obviously doesn't have all the bells and whistles of AppCooker.

Those icons rocked! Although, they did not have a News icon for my current project :-( -- Niraj

@Niraj. AppCooker has dropped down to $19.99 again :-) I grabbed it. Will see if I end up using it (if I share mockups with others then they can use the free AppTaster to view them). Cheers

Niraj, What kind of 'news' icon were you looking for? Cheers! -- Smug

@Smug -- found a news icon in one of my other icon folders. It looks like a flat version of the normal upper-half of a newspaper. - Niraj
