MockApp 1.0 just released: iPhone App design for the rest of us

MockApp_100_sample_screenMockApp, the most successful piece of tweetware* ever made, just released version 1.0, which is a huge upgrade over v0.7. For those who used a previous version of MockApp, you will barely recognize your favorite iPhone prototyping tool given the number of aspects that have been (hopefully) improved:

  • A large number of iPhone UI elements have been added and/or vectorized. I think I can now safely assert that MockApp 1.0 includes the most comprehensive vector iPhone UI library of any easy iPhone prototyping tool out there (no, the SDK is not a prototyping tool that my mom could use).
  • The library file is now organized and commented based on the ultimate authority: Apple’s iPhone Human Interface guidelines. It even shows examples of some UI elements on an iPhone held by Steve Jobs’ hand (OK, maybe that wasn’t his hand).
  • The template file, where you create your mockup, now features a shiny iPhone as backdrop for your app screens with working Home button and all.
  • The template file now supports vertical and horizontal iPhone screen mockups.
  • And a lot more…

And best of all… the price for this fantastic piece of Tweetware is still the same: one tweet or one blog post (or facebook update, etc.) And no: there are no free upgrades: in other words, if you tweeted for MockApp 0.7 or earlier, you must tweet again for MockApp 1.0. But the good news is… this time you’ll actually feel like tweeting! ;-)

Enjoy MockApp 1.0 and do email me with all your feedback, love letters, hate mail, etc. I particularly like hearing from people like my mom who can not open Photoshop or reprogram a TV remote. They help me make MockApp bullet proof for everyone.

* I haven’t seen any other Tweetware yet.

  • Good idea but I see I need a newer version of iWork than ‘08. I’ll have to use the PowerPoint version I guess.

  • Dotan

    Yup… Sorry. You’re not the only one contacting me with this issue. I’ll try and export to Keynote ‘08 to see if it needs any other modifications. If not, I promise to post the Keynote ‘08 version very soon. Hey, I’ll do anything to avoid having people use Powerpoint!
