## What is Play 1.0 Legacy?

If you’re designing a mobile app, we’re building Play for you. Play combines a familiar design canvas with the power of Apple's native iOS elements, access to device hardware, and interactions that use Core Animation. Play takes a new approach to app design by giving you access to the native materials of the medium, but design and prototype from both your Mac and iPhone.

Play’s Features

— Design with native iOS elements like Apple Maps, Swift Charts, SF Symbols, Materials, input text fields, date pickers, switches, steppers, modals, and more. 

— Design interactions that are performant, interruptible, and use Apple's Core Animation to render your prototype with the same technology as a finished mobile app.

— Tap directly into the powerful capabilities of Apple hardware with features like the camera and haptics.

— Design collaboratively on your Mac and your iPhone, all synced in real-time.

— Already have designs in Figma? Easily copy and paste right into Play to continue working

— Designs and prototypes are responsive by default in Play. Easily view your work across every iPhone device with the tap of a button.

— Use SwiftUI code that’s generated in real-time based on your designs, letting engineers easily lay out views in Xcode.

### 5/5 — Приложение бомба

*2024-12-14*

Сделайте пожалуйста оптимизацию под айпад, пожалуйста.

### 3/5 — Great potential, but needs improvement and a free trial/demo

*2024-09-26*

Great potential, but needs improvement and a free trial/demo

I've been exploring Play as a design-to-code tool, and while it offers some inspiration and useful templates, I have a few concerns:

Paywall: I believe the app would benefit from offering a free trial or demo. As someone who is willing to pay, I'd like to see exactly what I’m getting before committing, especially when other tools like Figma already cover many of the same needs.

Figma Integration: When copying screens over from Figma, the dimensions and elements should be an exact match. Currently, they aren’t, which creates more work for the user. If Play wants to differentiate itself, it needs to streamline this process so that it saves time, not adds more.

SwiftUI and Animations: One major area for improvement is SwiftUI animations. If Play could show how animations are integrated into SwiftUI, it would provide real value beyond what Figma offers. Right now, it's not clear how animations would be applied, which limits its usefulness.

Time vs. Effort: If it takes longer to set things up in Play than it does to code directly from Figma, then there’s not much incentive to use it, aside from finding inspiration. The app should focus on being a true time-saver rather than just a tool for reference or inspiration.

Overall, I see a lot of potential here, but until these issues are addressed, it's hard to justify a full purchase when other platforms are already doing a similar job.

### 2/5 — Interesting Idea, clunky and buggy UX

*2024-08-14*

disclaimer: i'm a developer not a designer. 

I saw this in a youtube video and it looked pretty neat, so i had to check it out. I just spent an hour or so using this to to design simple app I'm working on. Honestly I'm pretty dissapointed. 

Pros 
- Library of beautiful UI components to choose from. 
- Option to easily add components to stacks
- Ability to create components
- Allows code export (Part of the pro version, but looks pretty neat)

Cons: 
- Serious Bugs
a. Undo action skipping over recent changes and undoing changes from the start of the session.

b. clicking on a component sometimes causing it to reset to its default appearance (incredibly annoying)

c. dragging components causing them to be hidden behind other components(usually would reappear on release but sometimes not)

Clunky:
a. Basic options unnecessarily hidden behind multiple menus (please let me change the color of a border without clicking through several menus!)

b. Unintuitive drag and drop, I spent so much time trying to insert a stack into a view in the position i wanted, with other components jumping into the space i wanted to fill instead. 

Verdict: Has some good ideas, but its pretty halfbaked.After losing about 30 minutes of design work from a component resetting with no way to undo, I won't be trying the paid version. Even without that issue, I wouldn't recommend it. It just doesn't really offer anything besides the code generation, and as a developer it's honestly easier to just write the code. This app needs major work if it's going to compete with something like Figma.

### 1/5 — Login problem

*2024-08-06*

keep Showing Could Not Connect, Make sure you are connected to the internet.

### 3/5 — Cute, definitely not for pros

*2024-07-29*

I have tried using this app to create something worthwhile. 

Unfortunetaly, you're better of using figma or whatever you already know how to use and then importing into this stricly for the code copying aspect of it. Interations don't work half the time, or are glitchy. The design parameters are limited and have little control over things like gradient direction, mesh, materials, border gradients, so many other things missing.

Now I get that 99% of useful features are pay-walled, but seriously... Why?

The app is promising, but adopting that premium feature model early-on, is a sure way to make people like me, who just want stuff to work, not want to use the app. In fact I already don't wanna use it, it was pushed on me by a YouTuber, and I thought "Hey why not" Then saw the pay wall and remembered what world I live in.

This app makes me wanna make my own app just to make it free with better features and take your market honestly 🤷 Guess when you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-07-28*

It appears for me at least that the latest update version 1.11.1 has just broken the app as it no longer opens just faced with a loading click wheel and nothing happens.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT APP!

*2024-04-29*

I've been working on this app and its amazing how easy can deploit my ideas on it, it's really intuitive and interactive.

### 3/5 — Figma X Play is Lacking

*2024-02-27*

Really wanted to love this prototyping tool for communicating ideas based on the designs I'm working on in Figma, but every time I try to paste a design from Figma into Play, I encounter an error. Until this issue is fixed, I will continue to prototype in Figma for the speed it offers.

If this gets fixed I will give this a 5.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2023-12-21*

Im a product developer with almost 20 years of experience, was one of the sketch early adopters, later switched to figma, this thing feels like framer for ios apps. great job great support, and educational materials.

### 1/5 — Can't creat account
