### 5/5 — Great idea

*2025-05-16, version 6.31.9*

Fun way to make ideas flow between paper sketches and a functional digital app

### 4/5 — Good software to generate what I need

*2024-06-03, version 6.31.9*

Great for what I need. There are a few features that could be a little more robust. But I understand I’m on free version so I can’t complain!

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-04-26, version 6.31.9*

Super easy to use great for prototyping apps as a beginner. User interface is the highlight of this app

### 4/5 — Useful, but could be better

*2024-04-21, version 6.31.9*

Definitely a useful tool for any UXer, but I wish it had more options for device size and type. It’s also a little finicky with the image cropping and may cause the prototype to not show all of the image on the screen at one time if your device does not match the one selected for prototyping.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2023-10-22, version 6.31.9*

Great app for prototyping and quickly get a feeling for a UI and app flow before committing to the actual development stage

### 5/5 — Great for lo-fi Prototyping

*2023-09-06, version 6.31.9*

My UX design class recommended this app and it is an easy to use way to make lo-fi prototypes from paper wireframes. It has a great user interface and is a very simple but powerful software!

### 3/5 — It’s great but…

*2023-08-05, version 6.31.9*

I can’t get my ACCIDENTALLY deleted project back. :(
Maybe make a deleted section so you can recover your deleted projects or permanently delete them.

### 5/5 — Comentario

*2023-07-26, version 6.31.9*

Excelente herramienta

### 4/5 — It’s a great tool.

*2023-03-31, version 6.31.9*

There was a little bit of learning curve but once you know it it’s a breeze.

### 5/5 — Amazing tool!!

*2023-03-22, version 6.31.9*

I’m learning UX Design and was referred to marvel for easy method of transferring paper wireframes to digital. I didn’t know what to expect but I started a new project and have created paper wireframes for it and wanted to see what it was like using marvel. I am beyond pleasantly surprised at how easy it is!

You take pictures of your drawings and try cropping them to just the image you want to use. It won’t be perfect but it’s just to give you an idea. Then you can add links so you can create a prototype using the drawings on your phone. This has made test driving the buttons so easy and fluid so I know if I need to make changes.

Absolutely recommend this for anyone who spends a lot of time and care with their paper wireframe. Now I’m off to see if I can export any of this to Figma to see how it’ll be at making purely digital lo-fi wireframes to prototype.
