Review Summary

User reviews of Proto.io highlight its ease of use and intuitive drag-and-drop interface, particularly for creating interactive prototypes. Users appreciate the extensive library of components, templates, and the ability to design for various devices. However, some reviews mention performance issues, especially with complex projects, and a lack of advanced features compared to competitors like InVision and Figma. While prototypes are easily shareable, some users find the mobile app necessary to view them effectively, limiting accessibility. While Proto.io is a strong choice for quick prototyping, users should be aware of the learning curve and potential limitations for complex designs.

"Proto.io - A VERY capable application an web site prototyping tool!"

What do you like best about Proto.io?

I was able to prototype an app almost completely. The few areas where I couldn't mimic actual real-world functionality with their "out of the box" components, were otheriwse achieved with some clever workarounds that are made available in their support section.

If that weren't enough, when I did need help, I clicked the in-app chat, and I received support within 30 minutes. I'm sure it's even faster during their business hours, because I contacted them in the middle of the night, and still got that quick response time.

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

The ability to mimic dynamic lists - in other words, adding items to a list dynamically, isn't available. However, I was able to mimic this functionality after learning how within their support section. It wasn't immediately apparent, nor was it exactly easy, but it was achievable with a little effort.

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to show the functionality of our app to investors, and prove the design, all in one go.

"Easily and quickly create a prototype and publish it."

What do you like best about Proto.io?

My users and myself we able to quickly leran the application. It is intuitive

I liked the fact that you have incorporated the Material Design library out of the box. Most modern applications requires this library. It lacks some components however

I also like the ease you can publish the prototype and how easy you can collaborate with stakeholders.

Proto.io spaces is an amazing place to get help, find new ideas and reuse existing projects

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

The product lacks some major components like tables which are needed when building a data oriented application. We solved this by integrating HTML, however it did not provide the real desired experience.

We should allow the community to build missing components and publish them

Recommendations to others considering Proto.io:

when creating a protoype, create reusable containers

check the proto.io spaces where you can find great ideas

work incrementaly

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

we wanted an efficient way to convince management with the new product ideas and show them the benefit of adopting modern UI/UX . We achieved this by using Material Design Look and feel

Also we wanted to test some new UX ideas and without proto.io there was no way to show them and automate it. It looked very realistic to the end results

"Great tool"

What do you like best about Proto.io?

Very easy to use, you can import your own pictures as well, prototypes can be made for multiple screen sizes (phones, tabs, web, etc).

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

The fonts are too small, it would be good if the overall layout was a bit easier on the eyes.

Recommendations to others considering Proto.io:

Definitely worth a try! Good for beginners.

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits wise, its great for showcasing prototypes to clients/prospects. Gives a really good feel and idea of the actual product being showcased.

Problems wise, it can be quite laggy some times.

"Amazing wireframing and prototyping software"

What do you like best about Proto.io?

Proto.io is great for creating wire-frames of what you want your mobile/tablet/desktop app to look like. It lets you turn your wireframe into a prototype that looks and feels like an actual application, letting you input data, interact with objects, and go through screens naturally during a demo.

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

There is a learning curve with some of the advanced features of proto.io, like creating interactive containers. However, no other software that I'm aware of has the interactivity that proto.io has

Recommendations to others considering Proto.io:

Proto.io will really make your wireframes come to life!

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wireframing and prototyping that feels real.

"Proto.io is absolutely unbelievable "

What do you like best about Proto.io?

I like that I can easily create objects, and different screen states that will transition into a beautiful prototype that my developers can digest and then go and build.

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

The quality of the images in terms of exporting the documents is actually kind of poor. Some of the color pairings available in Adobe PS/IN/ILL are not possible in Proto. Proto is easier to use than adobe things so I've actually tried to make things in proto and export, however the images are very poor.... I almost wish there was more training in the beginning, but I've been using proto consistently for the last 90 days, and am struggling to think that far back.

Recommendations to others considering Proto.io:

Has alot of functionality, but not everything. Some things are harder to develop so that's understandable. It'll change how you design mock ups.

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can create my wireframes for a developer, let someone play with it, tell me what's wrong with it before having the entire thing developed. Saves a lot of time and money. Users can feel the prototype without using the full platform.

"Proto.io Review"

What do you like best about Proto.io?

Proto.io has a lot of wonderful features for quick prototyping. The animations are a great buy, especially its is like designing an actual product. Even the export to HTML is a huge help for this product. I like the fact that Proto.io is a web product and not only restricted to the mac OS as many prototyping tools are restricted to mac OS which does not all alot of users who use windows to prototype.

Another great feature is the integration of photoshop, where on can easily just import files and so easily prototype in Proto.io.

Also Proto.io give you the freedom to customize your prototype for any particular screen of your choice and Proto.io is not just limited to web and mobile app. This has helped me alot especially when i do custom designs for prototypes.

The layers option is really great which gives the user the freedom to move layers and groups around in Proto.io makes the user feel at home. Great going Proto.io love this product.

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

Nothing as of now, as there are soo many options and I do not find anything lacking so far. Maybe if they could also integrate Figma would be great.

Recommendations to others considering Proto.io:

Absolutely as this is the best software for prototyping.

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Proto.io helps to make ideas come to life very very quickly and it helps for quick ideating, prototyping and iterations, it also helps to show prospective customers and clients our idea with a live feeling of the app.

"Good looking mock-ups made easy"

What do you like best about Proto.io?

I like the ease of use and the power of this tool. You can build detailed and complex workflows using the online editor and then present the mock-up on a mobile device as if it was a real standalone app. My customers were amazed.

What do you dislike about Proto.io?

Nothing really. It takes some time to figure out the more advanced features but the video tutorials are verdy helpful.

What problems is Proto.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

I managed to convince my clients how a custom mobile app would create great benefits. In a couple of hours I had put something together that looked like a real app, including animation effects.
