'Proto' for Figma User Reviews

Top reviews

Great app, thank you for creating

Figma really should have created this as it’s an essential design and testing tool. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this.

This works!

I just have two points of feedback:
1. When viewing a prototype, the 3 tap gesture is way too sensitive and activates the bottom sheet Menu when I don’t want it to.
2. The color contrast needs to better. It’s very hard to read some of the placeholder text.

Other than that, this works as intended and I will continue to use it.

Impossible to read

I cant try the app as the fonts are dark grey on black background so i cannot see the text.

Perfect for easy access to prototypes

Proto provides a wonderful solution to accessing Figma prototypes on the go. It makes it easy to store and pull up saved prototypes without needing to have your computer open. Thank you for creating this!

Typo

When launching a prototype, typo (extra p) in message “Tripple tap anywhere to open the menu.” Review was the only mechanism to provide feedback since AppStore links didn’t seem to offer feedback option.

Response from developer

Thanks :) I've fixed the typo in the latest update.

A buggy mess

I work for a very prominent agency, and the sad truth is that I can’t realistically show clients our work on a phone as it almost never loads. On the odd case it loads up within the app, I’ll have 10sec max before I get a blank screen.

Figma, I love your product so much! But this is a buggy mess and doesn’t seem like it’s been tested at all.

No need

Just no need for this app.

Can simply share link and view prototype on my phone. This app doesn’t show the prototype, just the screens…

Response from developer

I hope one day your projects will get to the point where you'll understand the usecase of this app. Until then: I'm happy for you, that the regular workflow just works 👍

Unnecessary green screen pop up

While testing a ui on this app a green screen pops up anonymously forcing me to restart the app apart from that annoying experience I love the app

Response from developer

Hey, I'm already aware of the green-screen bug. Sadly at the moment I can't seem to find any solution for it. What you can try: If the green screen pops up when switching between pages, check if the page switch uses "Smart Animate" and try switching it to "Fade" or something easier. This seems to have fixed the bug for other users. Sorry for now!

Better than Figma Mirror

It is first time for me to write a review ever. Works perfectly and so easy to use. In few ways this is so much better than Mirror app by Figma. I know they have just made new version of it. But it is still beta. This is really great!!
Performance is pretty impressive too.

Persistent ads and plagiarizing Figma’s logo

First of all, their logo completely plagiarizes Figma. I’m surprised Figma hasn’t (legally) cracked down on them yet.

This is in no way built by Figma’s company.

The app throws up persistent ads the second you open it, giving that nice little hit of “welcome to 1990’s monetization”.

And quite useless tbh. I can use Figma Mirror to view prototypes as-is or literally just open a link from my phone and view it.

Response from developer

Don't worry I'll make sure to ship you personally a version with limited functionality and in-app-purchases in the next update, so it's got that "sweet 2020's monetization" for just 4,99$/month. /s This is not built by Figma and does say so in the title, description & tag-line of this app. If you haven't figured out the use case for this app, just keep using the Figma Mirror app, good for you. Once you've hit the spot that Figma Mirror doesn't cover (or just read the description), I'll welcome you as a user with open arms. I hope today is a better day for you, than the one you've written this review on. :)
