“My absolute, hands-down over-the-top new favorite mockup tool is www.balsamiq.com. I have a man-crush on whoever built it. So freaking good”
“I was wondering how you got into my brain and turned my dream into reality? Seriously, your product was made for me.”
“Thanks for an awesome product. I have been using it extensively--worth every penny. Your commitment demonstrated through your website, blog, and getsatisfaction.com add tremendous value. I also love that you work so closely with us users and push out new releases so frequently.”
“Balsamiq Mockups has just received the Internet Magazin "Empfehlung der Redaktion" award, which is similar to an "editor's choice" award. Thanks for you great software, it really deserves this award. It's a great product that deserves to be made known to a huge audience.”
“I love balsamiq. I own a small software company that produces semi-custom software. We used to kill ourselves using spreadsheets, huge visio diagrams and a monster requirements document. Now we have cool mock-ups with some notes. We've wrapped up projects with [redacted for privacy], [again], [again] and many others using it. Our customers love it, our developers love it and our analysts love it.”
“It's really helping me out to make wire frames at lightning speed. As a matter of fact, it even helped me successfully introduce the whole concept of wire framing at the company I work for, so kudos for that!”
“I wish I had known about Balsamiq when I was working on [redacted for privacy]! Would have saved a lot of hours, I think… Thanks a boodle!”
“I have to admit, I was nervous at first in taking the risk and doing this "on the fly" with such little prep time to learn the tool. But, previous design sessions didn't get as far as needed, and I felt we really had to act quickly and do something really different from our approaches. There was no need to worry! We made amazing progress during the meeting itself, creating 5ish mockup screens in very short time. Using the tool really helped keep folks focused and on-task, identifying additional requirements and solving detailed UI design issues right then and there. We were then able to save the versions (thanks to the just-in-time license key!). Everyone was very very impressed with power and ease of use.”
“My wife needed to create a snack list for our kid's day care teacher. We had been using post-its, filled out by hand, but I thought it would be easier to use a Mockup with check boxes. It took 10 minutes and we can reuse it.”
“My Dad enjoyed your product so much, he purchased a copy for me as well. Congrats on making such a great and intuitive app!”
“When I saw this, I said (really) “Holy shit!!!”. And started to play with it. And quickly realized that for people like me, this is the PERFECT tool for creating mockups of the sites I want to work on.”
“My worries about specifying design and workflow of our software UI got reduced to simple drag-and-drop. It is perfect for startups and has become invaluable for our company.”
“The first day I had it, it saved me a ton of time and sold a client that was on the fence. I did 3 mockups in half the time it usually takes me to outline one site. Would I recommend it? Hell YA!!!”
“Wow. It's blowing my tiny mind. Seriously good. And so easy! ”
“Mockups is bitchin’. Pure and simple. It’s rare to find a tool that both devs and non-devs enjoy using, and use productively together. Huge fan!”
“Wow, I have never been blown away in the first five minutes like I have with this software. Very, very impressive. I absolutely love how the mockups look like sketches instead of trying to emulate the look and feel of a specific platform.”
“I thought it was going to be slower than paper but it wasn't. It was better.”
“This is such a coooool tool. I love it. I love it sooo much I want to marry it. :)”
“I've been designing and developing software for 15 years and this is by far the best software I've tried for mocking up screens.”
“this license saves us a ton of money that would otherwise be spent on useless technical documents and PowerPoint mockups”
“We've been using Balsamiq for Confluence for about two week now and I must say that we are so happy and impressed with it. It has managed to make our development a *lot* more clearer and bringing ideas into production a lot more faster! Thank you so much for such a great piece of software!”
“Peldi has built a fabulous application called Balsamiq Mockups. I can’t speak highly enough about how useful and fun this tool is to use. You have to try it for yourself.”
“Mockups is a solid platform for UI testing and creation that software types will love. As I discovered, even non-software types will love it.”
“I have been looking for this kind of tool for EVER”
“Now anyone can easily create a mockup in minutes within Confluence with Balsamiq Mockups' drag and drop functionality. This plugin allows you to bring the whole team together--everyone from product managers to designers, developers and customers-- to collaborate on one mock up before even one line of code is committed.”
“Balsamiq Mockups is an incredible application for creating user interface mockups.”
“I want a user interface mockup tool that is flexible enough to let me illustrate a wide variety of concepts but not at the sacrifice of simplicity. I want a tool that is quick, light, and easy to use. I want a tool that lets me focus on the idea and not the fidelity or polish. Balsamiq is that tool! I love it. Recently I wanted to draw an interface with tree-based navigation -- arguably a very common model. To my surprise I was quickly reminded how difficult that basic task is to do in Fireworks, Pencil, OmniGraffle, and Flash! Unbelievable. What took minutes... literally minutes to do in Balsamiq, was frustrating and complex in the other products. Bottom line, Balsamiq is a winner, I wish I had created it, and it's worth at least twice what I paid for it. So buy it now before they figure that out.”
“fast and fun.”
“It's really simple and basically let's quickly make "back of the napkin" type sketches of your user interface. It's called Basalmiq Mockups and will be released June 19th. Should a great to make quick mock ups of you RIA ideas, or even to pass over to clients to get their ideas and input in a concrete format.”
“É excelente para facilitar a comunicação entre equipas, nomeadamente entre não-programadores e programadores.”
“We have been looking at rapid conceptual prototyping tools for a while, and I think that you have really managed to hit a sweet spot with your approach. Very impressive.”
“You did an awesome job with this. Really meets a need and you implemented it nearly perfectly. I already mocked up a new dialog this morning and sent to my team for implementation.”
“Mockups takes the product design process from hours to minutes... I just mocked up a new interface in about four minutes using the AIR version. So amazing!”
“wonderfully charming”
“I love the “hand-drawn” look and polish — nice touch”
“This is a fantastic UI mockup tool. Great for "Napkin Sketches".”
“That's an awesome blend of WYSIWYG GUI and paper prototyping. Me like!”
“I spent a bunch of time trying to find templates and shapes that would make Visio as easy to use as Balsamiq Mockups. I could not find anything that came close. So, I decided to use Balsamiq Mockups while working in a live session with a client, and it performed spectacularly.”
“I LOVE Balsamiq! Simple to use. Fast. Inexpensive. I especially like the Quick Add feature. And the hand-drawn nature of the elements is brilliant. You are right - it is best to avoid anything too clean or people will get caught up in the design.”
“I often come up with new ideas and want to visualize them, and Photoshop, gliffy, omnigraffle were all a bit heavy and or slow. Yours is the best I have used so far.”
“Balsamiq has released an amazing Mockups application that makes the creation of mockups for websites and desktop software extremely easy”
“@balsamiq can't stop playing with your software long enough to finish my review. Love it. It's coming.... lol”
“Balsamiq Mockups is a freakin' great Adobe AIR application.”
“mocks ups is the best AIR App I have seen www.balsamiq.com ... I might actually buy this.”
“Really a great piece of software for Mockups/Prototyping”
“Used Balsamiq's Mockup application to throw together some layouts for a web app I'm cooking up. Its pretty awesome.”
“Am normally cynical about these, but Balsamiq Mockups seems a fluid, easy to use UI prototyping tool. Video at http://tinyurl.com/5d46hl”
“@balsamiq Balsamic mockups RULEs - so much fun”
“@balsamiq ValeskaUXBoston says, "Absolutely awesome, now that I played with it a little more. I'm gonna use it for my storyboards." re: mkps”
