wireframe tool

Thought I would pass along a wireframe / flowchart tool I found the other day. Diagrammix is on the MacAppStore for $15. Thought it was well worth this. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the high dollar apps but then again it is only $15. I just used it to create a flowchart for a website I am doing, and it was easy to use. Once you learn the shortcuts it goes very quick. You can also download stencils that have all kinds of images, and design elements. I have a feeling it is going to really help me map out future apps, and should help when working with clients for quick mockups. Just thought I would pass it along, I am in no way affiliated with the developer.

For iOS mobile app wireframing, I use Blueprint on the iPad. Using native user interface elements, one can build screens and specify interactions to transition between screens. It generates iPad and iPhone interactive mockups that can be emailed for feedback from your Clients. With a little time investment, you will be creating interactive mockups. It's almost too good because my Users complain about the parts I had not yet wired up! I then remind them it's just a set of fancy screenshots with hotspots. :-) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blueprint/id405203705?mt=8 If anyone wants a sample, the free Lite version comes with a World Clock project. Also, I can send you one of my Blueprint mockups, just let me know your email address.

MacBoy, That looks great! I was thinking how nice it would be to be able to do something like this right on the iPad.

good stuff, esp that ipad mock-up program. This is a webbased one I've used a little bit. https://moqups.com The way BT works and being able to use a blank plugin screen to draw up a screen on a blank XIB file, that has been helpful to to make mock-up screens in actual demo apps.
