Flinto is intended for creating prototypes of entire apps. In this respect, the tool is characterized by the possibility to create projects with multiple screens and transitions between them. Fortunately, the product has a lot of documentation available, including a large number of tutorial videos and support from an extensive community of users.
It is good that Flinto provides you with initial guidance. Thus, there is a welcoming screen from which you can access numerous online tutorials. Likewise, it comes with various templates intended for such devices as iPhone, Apple Watch, iPod, Google Pixel and Nexus, which does not mean you cannot use custom measurements instead.
The app lets you draw every screen just as you would do with any paint tool. Luckily, you can work with layers so it is possible to work with complex designs more easily. Its basic objects are rectangles, ovals, text, vectors and images, which you can customize by changing their colors, line width or adding shadows, for instance. However, this object collection may seem very limited if you compare with those available from other tools of the same type, which also include interactive objects.
Another quite welcomed possibility is that you can apply animations to the objects, for instance, spring and curve. In such case, you need to provide parameters like final position and time. Fortunately, it is allowed to use multiple animations on the same object and even use sound effects. more
