" April 6, 2018 4.0 Easy to create application screens & very simple to create prototype. Pros 1) Simple to create screens & adding interactions from one screen to other is very easy. 2) Enough UI Elements library to create wireframes & clickable prototypes. Cons 1) Horizontal tab navigation for screens: As the application has horizontal tab navigation for screens, it is very difficult to see all the screen as there is limited space, also adding more screen increases the scroll which slows the working speed by increasing the time to find the screen to work upon. Also, the application always crashes when there are many screens added to to horizontal tab. I would suggest to have vertical left navigation for screens, as available in other prototyping tools such as Axure. 2) Old set of tablet & phone devices for screens: because old iPhone & tablet shells the prototype looks ugly, to avoid that we have to we have insert a image of new nice looking iPhone shell in our prototype manually & inside that we put UI Elements. 3)Not having support to see it on mobile devices with actual size: we can not show the mockup to our stakeholders on actual iPhone like a native application, every time we have to open it in browser window. I would suggest to add a full screen support on mobile devices without browser window. 4) Download as app feature missing: Many times we need to test our mockup on actual devices but there is no facility to download it as an app, I would suggest to add this feature, this feature is already present in other applications like Invision app wherein the mockup can be viewed as an app on tapping the mockup icon on mobile phones.

Usability testing is something which starting to get used in our workflow. Cons Restrictions on Fonts and Libraries pushes me to use Sketch more often and since Sketch is catching up on prototyping ...value of using Indigostudio is getting low because of these limitations Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner/Sr. Software Developer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to get started with a good array of tools" March 30, 2018 5.0 It helps me easily create attractive prototypes to present to management and our product design team. Pros As a software engineer who works on legacy software with an unfriendly UI I thought "I'll bet I can come up with something better." Indigo Studio makes it easy to develop a prototype of a better way that I can present to management and our product designers. I really like that I can easily create not just static mockups, but functional prototypes. And from an engineering perspective, it's nice that there's no code involved so management can't say "It looks great. Ship it!" It really is just a prototype. Cons I wish the included tools were a bit more customizable. For instance, backgrounds can only be one color, not a gradient. Also, the chart control only allows you to set the type of chart but nothing more about it, though that can be explained away as "it's just to show a chart goes here." Finally, it would be nice if the code snippets panel was editable to allow for even more customization. Review Source FV Frederic V. IT Senior Consultant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it to design and prototype business web applications for European Institutions. " March 30, 2018 5.0 Good reputation from peers Easier communication with customers recognized as UX professional Pros Very fast designing process including the magic ALT-click. The concept of State for screens and the associated navigation pane The animation timeline that is intuitive and easy to use. Regular updates that brings new stuffs based on user requests. I really appreciate this approach that most companies don't put in practice. The Sharing functionality that is easy to use and allow us to show and collect feedback of users. In the last versions, the integration of Google Fonts The screenparts that help us to go faster by reusing parts including animations and states Lat but not least, the user support is one of the best I had. Thanks again to these guys! Cons It's still tricky to use it behind our company firewall. Seems to be fixed in the lasts versions but still unstable. e.g. it lost the sign in quite often. The pricing policy is quite expensive so we limit our number of licences. Review Source SB Sheri B. Manager Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for WYSIWYG prototyping and app building" March 26, 2022 4.0 Very positive, saved us days and weeks of time. Pros Ease of use, lots of UI controls for what we needed to build our user interface. The Grid control was really rich easily configured. Cons I didn't like the databinding limitations, we use cloud links that our dev team created - but they have since added that feature, so we are going to use it next! Review Source JC Joe C. Software Architect Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Indigo every day, and while there are frustrating bugs sometimes, it's still the best solution" March 30, 2018 4.0 Pros I love how I can easily add UI elements to the page and how it gives me a tool to tell my developers exactly how I want a page to be laid out. Also, screen parts are very useful and save me a ton of time when designing storyboards. Cons I hate the fact that table cells aren't containers, so if I want to put a button in there, it's just an overlay that doesn't follow the table. Also, there's no really good way to several enter notes about particular UI elements. I can add callouts and notes, but that gets very unwieldy after 7 or so notes. Review Source SS Sagit S. UX Designer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to learn and use. Has some great features that allows collaboration and usability testing. " March 31, 2018 5.0 Pros I love the fact that we can make it so realistic it looks and behaves like the real tool and allows us to test. The creation of a URL we can share with the teams and update is great too. The animations are great! Very easy for the UX team to show the Dev team what we need. Customer support is awesome!! Here is a company that really listens to users and develops features we really need and use. Cons I would like and enhances ability to control fonts (add my own) and also control the look of scroll bars. Review Source sB shahar B. UX designer Wireless Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Desktop indigo studio is much better than Indigo design" October 29, 2021 3.0 Pros The desktop version of the indigo studio has advantages over all the competitors with building and designing interactive prototypes. unfortunately, it's not supported any more in IOS so it lost the most important advantage. Cons In complicated prototypes, there is a performance issue Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of solution Delivery Banking Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "WhT a tool" March 8, 2022 5.0 Conversion to browser interface .. really helpful Pros Love the tool, great ease of use and the results are inpressive Cons Installation - but it worked after an initi struggle but probably down to user error as worked ok when we carefully went through it Review Source MO Mark O. PA Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good but limited" October 19, 2021 3.0 Overall been fairly positive but it seems that infragistic until recently didn't invest much time improving the product. Pros We use the product because its pretty quick to produce a prototype. Looking forward to the new code generation feature for Blazor. Cons The control toolbox is limited and never seems to be updated. The portal where you can find public projects to learn from is sparse and it seems that Infragistics never contributes new ones to review and only has a couple of examples. The customer license portal is limited as well. Reason for choosing App Builder It came with our Infragistic subscription at the time so we used it. Review Source Response from INFRAGISTICS November 29, 2021 Thank you for your feedback! I am glad that you are looking forward to the upcoming Blazor beta release, hope you will like it! As for the toolbox, if you are referring the App Builder one, we are constantly updating the it with new components, check out the monthly release blogs that we have for more information. https://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs As for the predefined examples our dev team has a dozen new samples as part of the roadmap, that are planned to be started next year, thank you for mentioning that!

March 29, 2018 5.0 \-Was able to significantly impact our project for the better and make it come to life with the prototype design Pros I liked how it was easy to use and the interface was very simple. It integrated common features of an iPhone and was easy to use for other people when interacting with our prototype for the first time. Indigo Design helped our prototype to appear professional and realistic and really helped our project to come to life. The ease of use with integrating outside images was also extremely helpful to our design strategies. Cons There's no option for a cloud based sharing component of Indigo. We were working as a team so it would have been easier if two people could collaborate on the design at one time. It was a bit hard to overcome that obstacle but overall we were able to make it work. Review Source RC Roman C. Asst Lab Supervisor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall, I have enjoyed using Indigo to create various prototypes and taught it to my coworkers." March 29, 2018 4.0 I got to use this program for one of my IT classes in which we had to develop an app prototype to solve or remedy a social program. Aside from this, I have taught the basics of this class (elements, interactions, animations, etc) to several coworkers at my job at Rutgers University. Pros I really like the base version of the software because it is free and has enough features to be relevant and make a good prototype. I like how there is a free version and the chance to get an academic license because students really enjoy using the software to make prototypes and express their ideas. I enjoy the elements provided, features and the options for viewports. The prototype can be as advanced or as simple as the person wants it to be. I like the ability to save my projects directly to my personal workspace which makes it easy to work on the go. Cons The program can be pretty confusing to use if you overlook the tutorials and video that are presented to you from Infragistics. I personally teach a course on App Design Prototype and I use Indigo to do so. I present a demonstration in the class and show the students where everything is and how things work. The students really enjoy the demo and it helps them understand the software. I think that the Indigo Essentials version should still let you share your prototypes with people via links! Is there a way to delete projects I have saved to my personal workspace? Review Source AB Adam B. Senior UI/UX Designer Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful but not easy to create a beautiful, customizable design" October 19, 2021 3.0 We needed to consider two things: the ability to convert our existing design in Figma to a real product with minimal impact on the overall UI/UX design and easiness of use to minimize training time. Indigo.Design did not meet both of those needs for us. Pros The product was surprisingly easy to use, especially building a flexible layout. Cons The customizability of this product is very limited. We're not able to customize the design of premade components and their theme is very limited. No integration with Figma yet. Alternatives considered [Adalo](https://www.capterra.com/p/207495/Adalo/) Reason for choosing App Builder We did not go with Indigo.Design. Review Source MS Michael S. Software architect Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool on the market" March 29, 2018 5.0 Pros We looked at all the wireframing tool on the market, and none have the features that Indigo Studio has. The ability to be able to deploy wireframes as a site is invaluable to our proposal process. Cons There are a few small lingering bugs, but nothing so bad as to stop us from using the product. This mostly has to do with text entered in wireframes. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of eXperience Design, AutoCAD Mobile Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quick and easy to use, intuitive and user friendly. " March 30, 2018 4.0 Pros Intuitive and has the needed features to create most common prototype challenges that me and my team are facing. In comparison to existing products out there, indigo is by far, superior. It is helping us approach users with high end prototypes, fast, accurate and with no development efforts. My design team has become powerful and independent! Plus we are all aligned and on the same page using the collaboration Indigo tools. Cons Rendering is a bit slow maybe due to the Silverlight engine. No palette saving. No typography details. Complex prototypes get really slow and break. Not enough of collaborative design. Still, need some enhancements to compete with prototyping tools that exist in today's market. Review Source MT Mohan T. Sr. UX Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its a wonderful prototyping tool. Easy to do lo to hi fedility mockups" April 3, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of use , the kind of interactions I can showcase and most importantly secure url sharing with clients. Cons Missing gradients, option to switch off changes to child states incase of changes required in parent and improve no of things you can define in central styles Review Source DY Dayne Y. Director Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "LESS is MORE" February 26, 2022 5.0 I made a quick app that i tested and it worked! Pros Its got alot of features and is easy to use. Positive outcomes and quick deployment give me more chances to find an open opportunity. Cons Some of it was not easily understood. Maybe better shortened summaries to explain it differently in some areas. Reason for choosing App Builder I try them all before make any decisions and usually they lead to purchases. Review Source DS Dudley S. BA Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easg" October 25, 2021 4.0 Generally good Pros Its really easy to use and learn and to pick up Cons Templates could be better, and could be more interactive Review Source Response from INFRAGISTICS November 29, 2021 Thank you for sharing as a positive the product ease of use! We invest a lot in UX improvements whenever needed. As for the templates, the present one are meant to help boostraping a quick layout and start your app from there. We also provide a premade examples that we consider more as mockups with common interactions rather than real-end apps with dynamic logic. We hope that you will enjoy using them as well. SC Sascha C. Founder Computer & Network Security Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Underrated" August 31, 2022 5.0 Pros Its getting better by the month. The usability is fine. Cons API integration still very poor and there is no entry pricing plan. Reason for choosing App Builder Ease of use and very consistent overall platform from UI/UX up to code generation. Review Source JB Jeremy B. Direct Support Specialist Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Indigo Studio is remarkable software as it allows you the opportunity to prototype an app seamlessly" April 1, 2018 5.0 My team and I were able to demo an idea that we needed to illustrate to a panel of judges for an IT project in my college. This software helped my team win an award in an end of the semester competition that we had with plenty of other groups. The judges enjoyed using our prototype and it helped provide an interesting outlook on how our idea would function if it were actually made into an application. So thank you to all who helped develop it, especially on behalf of my group! Pros What I like most about the software is that it saves massive amounts of time when it comes to showcasing a product because you can share your vision with others without actually having it created through extraneous amounts of coding. It's a very cost-efficient option that comes with amazing depth and variety. The interface is also very user friendly and simple to use. Indigo's quality is top notch, as it can provide prototypes that already look like finished products. It is a go to for any developer seeking to extend their unfinished vision in an illustrative way. Cons What I like least about the software is simply that it can be sometimes difficult to understand how to locate and use everything properly. But, thankfully the tutorials and customer service easily clears up a lot of the confusion if utilized. Review Source LH Leobardo H. Programmer/Graphic Designer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Indigo.Design; a Quick and Easy App for Prototyping" May 18, 2020 4.0 Overall, I was asked to look into this product as a means of cranking out a bunch of different little models to present to the rest of the programming team to get a visual on how an app was going to look and behave. Indigo.Design scratched that had-to-reach itch with gusto and we were all very satisfied with it. Pros The product is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. I cannot overstate that fact any more if I could. Viewing and mapping out your actions leading to other views makes knowing where you are at a given point simple and straightforward. The addition of tools that bridge the gap to Visual Studio coding is amazing, to say the least. Cons The only gripe I have was the addition of a tool called Screenparts after my trial had expired and I was not able to use without buying a license. It seemed to have been exactly what I had needed to not have to create the same toolbar of buttons that needed to go to the same screens. The buttons and everything were copyable between screens, but the functionality was lost. Review Source JH Jordy H. Full stack Developer Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use Indigo Studio and it alows use to create richly designed mockups. Easy to use & great support" March 30, 2018 4.0 It helps us to communicate our mockups more clearly to our target audience. Pros Easy to use and contains a lot of functionality and elements to create and test our mockups. It also great support platform if we run into problems. Cons I would like to see that the elements to be used in the software are more and faster up-to-date to current standards. For example there are a lot of icons, but no Google Material Design icons. Also Material design screenparts would be nice. Review Source JRden 'Jake' F. Web Developer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" April 2, 2018 5.0 Pros \- Interface is great - Easy to use (I can easily add elements and navigation to the page) - Shareability is also okay (I just hope that the reviewers can comment on the actual element itself similar to Invision) Cons \- I hope it is not dependent on silverlight - It crashes when there are a lot of elements being used (but not all the time) Review Source NA Natasa A. UI Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to make prototypes" May 19, 2020 3.0 Pros It is very easy to use. It has a lot of functionality. I can safe my work very easy. Cons There are some features missing. Icons are missing, aligning things together, Review Source Atif U. UI Designer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Using Indigo as a UI Designer on Developers' recommendation" April 21, 2021 4.0 Pros I tried the Indigo App builder a couple months back, it was recommended by the Development Team's lead. I loved the concept and as a UI designer, I know it's going to make a lot of lives easier in product teams. Cons I did notice something though: the design options (elements) aren't very flexible. It was probably because I'm used to Sketch and Adobe XD and creating elements from scratch. Anyhow, I'm sure Indigo's product team will figure something out. Review Source Similar Products Featured
