Pros
  • Ease of Use: The application is very intuitive and needs no to minimum hands on before actually using it.
  • Support for different screens: As the application provides pre-built templates for different devices (web, Tablets & Phones) it saves a lot of time in re-mocking the same UI for different devices from scratch.
  • Good Amount of Wireframing Aid: The application supports an exhaustive list of UI Controls, Icons, Images & Templates which helps in saving time while creating wireframes.
  • Ease of File Managements: Its easy to manage the created Projects.
Cons
  • Black & White UI: the application UI is very boring in terms of color. The entire application is in mostly Black & White which can cause eye fatigue after some time.
  • Lack of colors also leads to lack of muscle memory and hence making the app less intuitive.
  • Conversion from Low to High Fidelity wires: if there was a feature which converted Low Fidelity to High Fidelity wires it would have been great.

  • Quickly getting your ideas on paper.
  • Preventing you from overthinking design details and keeping you focused on the big picture.
Cons
  • No collaboration ability, would be much stronger if web-based.
  • Support for images is awkward and a bit clumsy.
  • No ability to share files via the web.
