## What is Marvel?

Just had the next billion-dollar app idea? Grab a pen and within minutes your idea will come to life.

Marvel lets you design apps on your iPhone or iPad! Turn sketches, mockups and wireframes into interactive, tappable app prototypes that allow you to demo your ideas and share with others.

Play with your app ideas on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch!

It’s super simple to get started, all you need is an idea and some pen and paper.

How it works:
- Draw your app screens on paper, then take photos or add mockups from Dropbox/Creative Cloud (including Photoshop files!). You can even draw directly on the screen!

- Link each screen together using touch areas to form your app demo…then press play!

-  Ready to show the world? You can share prototypes using Email, SMS or Twitter and send to any phone or desktop.

Everything is synced to your Marvel web account too, so you always have access to your prototypes no matter where you are.

### 1/5 — Abandoned and Useless

*2026-03-05, version 6.32*

Given that the last update was 3 years ago at the time I write this review, I think it’s safe to say that this app has been abandoned by the devs. It’s extremely buggy, and when I closed the “Please rate us” box, my projects disappeared. Was hoping this would be a good Figma competitor, but nope. The devs have given up on this app, and so have I.

### 5/5 — Simples e legal
