Xiffe – Mobile App Prototyping in a Jiffy

By Anurag Rastogi on March 27, 2015 14 Comments / 7309 views

Hi Everyone

I am happy to let you know that we have launched a new version of Xiffe

Xiffe is the fastest and easiest way to prototype mobile apps. It supports all the 3 major mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and has a easy to use drag and drop interface which lets you create prototypes in a jiffy.

Brief Background

I am the Co-founder of Newgenapps a pioneer in the mobile app development and cloud computing space. We have been developing apps since July 2008 ever since the first iOS SDK (then called iPhone OS 2.0) was released

We have seen the industry evolve and grow exponentially over the past 7 years. Having developed more than 1500 apps, one of the major challenges we faced was of prototyping apps and sharing these prototypes amongst our design team and with clients.

The traditional tools like Photoshop and Keynote/Powerpoint have a steep learning curve and it takes a long time to prototype apps. To scratch our own itch we came up with Xiffe. Xiffe requires absolutely no coding or design experience

The product started as an internal project to help us prototype apps faster. Last year we launched Xiffe as a Web app and have seen immense interest.

We now have users in more than 40 countries (as of today) using Xiffe to turn their ideas into beautiful prototypes

Xiffe offers great collaboration features, Dropbox sync, real time feedback etc.

So check out Xiffe and turn your next billion $ idea into a prototype. It is ideal for

Individuals who have great app ideas. Use Xiffe as a way to prototype your ideas and a digital scrap book
Startups looking to launch apps, showcase app ideas to investors, stakeholders
App Design and Development teams to collaboratively work on app designs and want to save time and increase productivity

Xiffe has a forever free plan which lets you prototype 1 app. The Pro plan includes collaboration features and unlimited apps.

We have a great offer for Rodinhooders. Use the Promo Code TRHS to get an extended 3 month trial, hurry as this is applicable to the first 250 Rodinhooders.

You can also get a free Xiffe Pro Plan for a max of 1 year by referring your friends and colleagues. Details on the website.

Here is a quick video which shows how we created a beautiful Expense Tracking app using Xiffe

Please contact me if you have any questions suggestions etc.

Xiffe is a labor of love and I look forward to the Rodinhoods community to help us make it better by suggesting features, providing feedback and helping us grow.

Thanks

Hi Kinnari

This should not happen. Can you try with a different browser? Pls let me know if you still face the issue.
Anurag Rastogi March 31, 2015, 10:20 am

Pls do, I hope Xiffe works out for you.

Tried with Firefox now, its fine. I recently user MockingBot & like the linking feature there, you should check it out. Rest Xiffe is good to go

Hi Kinnari, Xiffe also allows to link screens, please check the Quick tour Video, you can access it on the Drop Down menu on the top right of the screen. This is a good insight, we need to highlight the product features better, we will work on it. Thanks!

Tool is awesome and prices are also resonable. But as it is in beta version I found few bugs like when i exported my prototype to PDF the images got broken, icons went missing, no text etc. Hope it get fixed by your team soon. Other than that I enjoyed experimenting Xiffe 😉

So I finally got to try it. Definitely one of the most user friendly tools out there, needs some more polishing and work but has ton of potential.

Thanks Rishi. Yes we are working hard to make it better. I would appreciate if you could send us your specific feedback, that would help us make Xiffe better.
