Pixate Studio is a design application that lets you create native prototypes on different platforms. This way, you can create mobile app prototypes that are highly visual and full of effects.
In recent months, the tool was acquired by Google, and the internet giant made the utility free, just when the future of the tool was in doubt.
You can experiment with the app you've created, make necessary improvements, or add new features.
Creating a Prototype
Once you download the app from its official page, you'll notice its polished interface. On startup, you'll see three icons in the center, two tabs on the right labeled “SAMPLES” and “RECENT”, and a button at the bottom to import files. With these features, you can create and edit prototypes.
To create app prototypes, you only need to insert modular layers, so no programming language is required. This makes the platform universal.
To test your native prototype, you'll need to install Pixate Studio on your mobile device (iOS or Android) and then run the app you created on your phone.
Testing and Community
Another alternative we offer from Neoteo is the possibility of downloading an iOS or Android simulator on your computer to run the prototype.
The platform also has a large community that will become collaborators on your prototypes, as they will suggest improvements through comments.
Pixate Studio is indeed a great option for creating mobile app prototypes for short and not-too-complicated projects, since interactions don't require coding.
Paul Colton, CEO of Pixate, said, "The market for design tools is changing rapidly and Pixate is committed to staying at the forefront."
Pixate Studio is a free application available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Android and iOS mobile devices.
