### 3/5 — My prototypes keep disappearing!

*2020-10-09, version 28.0*

Shame, such potential. Let see if the developers reply to this. I’ve got a feeling this app is no longer supported...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2020-05-20*

Mac program never finds that I have the app installed...

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2019-12-16, version 27.0*

Flinto is pretty great.

Allows you to create prototypes that look and feel like real apps.The viewer is an essential part of that.

I’ve fooled a few people into thinking that what I was showing was live.

There’s not much to it, you basically airdrop the proto from your Mac and it gets added to your list in app.  3 tap gesture allows you to exit the proto and most other touch gestures (ie. swiping) are supported in the prototypes.

While the viewer is perfect - I really wish flinto would fix the bug on desktop with layers of the same name getting mixed up in animations.

### 2/5 — Urgent improvements needed

*2019-11-08, version 27.0*

Flinto is a great app and this iOS companion does the job. But we need to be able to control the sort order and to rename files. In these regards, this app lags behind the competition.

### 3/5 — So how do I exit a project to the menu?

*2019-05-25*

When I’m viewing one prototype, how do I close it, come back to the menu, and open another prototype? We don’t just have one project to test, right?

### 3/5 — My first impression

*2018-03-15*

I could not find how to go back to the library/main page once you open any designs.

### 1/5 — No video or audio support?!

*2018-01-23, version 24.6*

Why?!

### 1/5 — No Viewer for iPhoneX

*2017-12-30*

I’d like to view these prototypes on all available devices, right now, the iPhone X is missing

### 1/5 — Last update broke something

*2017-10-11*

Can’t get the prototypes to open in the viewer. Airdropped them instead and even then, they won’t open from the list on my phone. Super frustrating given that I have to give a prototype demo in an hour!

### 2/5 — Still buggy

*2017-09-14, version 23.1*

I created few prototypes for mobile app experience using Flinto. While they worked fine on the desktop, the animation and transition weren't great using this app. Very jerky.
