Actual Device Testing will help a lot. It will cut the time for mockup to test-drive, so this will be an improvement.

There are several features which make prototyping with Proto.io a no-brainer for me. But the one I like the best is the ability to test the prototype on the actual device. This is key to getting buy in from stakeholders. For some of my clients, seeing a prototype on their laptop, desktop or from a projector doesn’t make it as “real” and give them the usability feedback we need to make the product better. Thanks!

As a Human Factors in Information Design grad student at Bentley University, having one tool for prototyping on any and all devices would be incredibly helpful. I’ve heard great things about Proto.io testing and look forward to trying it!
Justin Lee

I am interested in the giveway and in Proto.io for a number of reasons, but the feature that stands is its handling or prototyping for any device – that is certainly worth a serious look.
Aaron
November 6th, 2012
Honestly I think that I would utilize every feature of proto.io, but the one that stood out to me as being especially awesome is the ability to test your prototypes on any device. Proto.io seems like an incredibly powerful tool. I’d love to try it out on my next project.
Ian Butterworth

I am most interested in the dynamic behaviours.
David Barker
November 6th, 2012
Having used Proto.io in the past the feature I find most interesting is actually their ability to release new features and updates regularly. When I was using Proto.io and I found a tricky scenario, I had to come up with a work around. In the next release there was an update to do it!
katopz

actual device testing is super cool :)
Brad
November 6th, 2012
I’m really interested in being able to test on the actual device to get a better sense of how the interactions and gestures will work.

I think the feature I’m most interested in: Actual device testing – Test your prototype directly on your mobile device.
Bianca
November 6th, 2012
The most exciting features of Proto.io for me are the actual device testing combined with the sharing and collaborative features. PRoviding a URL-based approach to allow the prototype to be tested on the actual devices makes it so easy. It also means that using prototypes in a presentation becomes a simple matter. Combining that with the ability to invite people to review and comment in the interface itself, means that early stage feedback can be gathered quite easily. This will be invaluable too mobile app developers.

Thanks for any other excellent post. The place else may just anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal method
of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am at the search for such info.

I like prototype test (https://proto.io/en/features/actual-device-testing/). Captivates at first clients views
Xavier
November 6th, 2012
Great & very useful contest ! :)
To me, the most insteresting feature of proto.io is for sure the fact that you can test your prototype directly on your device. Customers are really reactive to this kind of live “real-like” demo.
You know, if a picture is worth a thousand words, the value of a live demo is infinitely more valuable !
Alex

Prototyping fo any device and export function to HTML, just awesome!!
Benedikt
November 6th, 2012
I’m most interested in the collaborative features, especially the comments. They seem to be a great option to let my teammates review a prototype.
Dermot
November 6th, 2012
Proto.io looks great – I’m definitely interested in being able to deliver prototypes with functional animated screen transitions.

The most attractive feature for me is the ability to preview the prototypes on the mobile device. The rest seem to cover pretty much everything I expect such a tool to do.
Michael Saganowski
November 6th, 2012
Hi There Jacob,
In answer to your question, I would probably say that one feature I would certainly be interested to try out is the “Version history and rollback”. I can’t stress how significant this type of feature could be for someone that is doing wireframing on a daily basis.
Greetings from Poland,
Michael
Charlie Key

The PRO feature of Proto.io that I look forward to is the export feature. Able to export to HTML5 and have it offline to preview and the ability to export zip files containing all the screens so that I can incorporate them into my presentation.
Ali Kamran

Some features I interested in:
- Prototype for all devices
- Wonderful UI libraries
- Share and comments
- Publish and export to HTML
Annamalai Nagappan
November 7th, 2012
I like the variety of libraries used.Export to HTML is another feature that i am impressed.
Giorgos K.
November 7th, 2012
Of course the HTML feature and the fact that it works for any device.
Kadir Selcuk
November 7th, 2012
As I work in a bank, I plan to use Proto.io to design ATM screens. I am not in the design team myself, so I plan to apply my ideas on Proto.io projects and and share them with the UX people and the designers. So the best feature for me is “sharing and adding comments”.
I also have a plan to use Proto.ui for my personal Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 projects which I design, code, test and publish from end to end. So actual device testing and prototyping for all devices will also be useful for me in the near future.

Testing the prototype on a real device sounds really nice…
Vasile Catalin
November 7th, 2012
Hi!
All features look promising but prototyping for all devices, exporting to HTML and then testing on your own device could save a lot of precious time. Proto.io looks like the greatest tool i would use for creating interactive mobile app prototypes.
Hannes
November 7th, 2012
Definitely the Export to HTML.
wezyr512
November 7th, 2012
Animation, touch events! Components from multi UI libraries and works on all devices is great! That what make Proto.io unique
Emil
November 7th, 2012
Great UI Tools, thats what makes a difference.
Phil
November 7th, 2012
Hi,
I’d love to be able to create custom widgets and interactions.
thanks,

Export to HTML looks like a really nice feature.
Jon Darke
November 7th, 2012
My favourite features would be the ability to use gestures, not just taps as well as add in much needed transitions to simulate a more realistic and expected experience when building interactive prototypes for clients and testing.
Oliver
November 7th, 2012
Testing the prototypes on multiple devices would be awesome!
Denver
November 7th, 2012
Actual Device Testing FTW! I mean, what is a mobile device prototype without the ability to run it on that device. ♥
Sajan
November 7th, 2012
Actual Device Support and Prototyping is good.
Margarida Carvalho
November 7th, 2012
The features that i’m most interested in are: the fact that you can invite coworkers and clientes to collaborate on the prototype; and the fact that you can run prototypes on the most popular mobile devices. Really handy too is Proto.io being 100% web-based.
David VanHook
November 7th, 2012
My favorite is kind of a combination of two: the ability to rapidly build stuff (with no code needed) across multiple platforms, and then to be able to export that prototype to actual HTML. And being able to see the actual prototypes working on the actual devices themselves is a fantastic feature, too. Seems very exciting.
Jorge
November 7th, 2012
Only ONE feature?
I like that I can export my project to HTML5
Ivan Ereiz
November 7th, 2012
The fact that Proto.io supports all major mobile gestures and touch events like tap, tap-hold, swipe, pinch, and zoom is huge! It’s the one thing that has prevented me from using any other prototyping tool on the web because they lacked it.
Danielle
November 7th, 2012
The feature I am interested in that will help me with my current role is ‘Realistic UI component libraries’.
Justin Edelson
November 7th, 2012
I’m excited for the publish and html export options.
Gregory
November 7th, 2012
The feature I’m most interested in would have to be “Prototype for any device”. Having the ability to prototype for any device that’s out there is a HUGE advantage and help!
Raphael Isaacs
November 7th, 2012
Mobile device previews is probably the feature that interests me most.
John

Actual Device Testing is something that should help a lot our non technologically driven customers understand how their apps will actually look like and feel.
I have worked personally with HTML based mockup tools, and some are Powerpoint presentations but non of them feels like it should on a tablet or device.
Tim Elmore
November 7th, 2012
What feature of Proto.io am I most interested in?
It’s hard to beat the HTML export.
Sean
November 7th, 2012
Hard to choose just one but I’d have to go with the preview on a mobile device ability.
David Mermelstein
November 7th, 2012
To me it would be being able to have the ability to preview, test and gather feedback on all the major devices.
Sorin Stefan
November 7th, 2012
It’s so fast. For me that’s a very important feature which differentiates it from other prototyping tools.
And it has everything that I need to convey the message from an interaction design perspective.
thx a lot proto.io :) keep up the good work
Valentin Squirelo
November 7th, 2012
I want to use device testing with my clients to iterate fastly
Steve
November 7th, 2012
Favorite feature: Leaving comments easily (and literally) on specific UI elements will reduce time and confusion when clients are trying to give feedback.
Vladimir
November 7th, 2012
Greatest feature is it’s a running cloud based system, one that gets updated regularly. Can’t stress how important it is to be able to do your work no matter where you are.
Rowan Winsemius
November 7th, 2012
Love the ability to test your own device, what an awesome way to show off to the bosses!
Ivan Zidarov

I must say “Prototype for all devices” is a keeper. Hope to win one of them subscriptions :)
Mike
November 8th, 2012
Animations – hands down.
Until today I had never heard of proto.io. After checking out the feature set and the site I would say… the ability to prototype this fast is so cool it makes me want to puke my face off.

Proto.io really is an indispensable tool for building apps that provide real user experiences, helping designers to connect their ideas with the coding. I can create prototypes and test them quickly without wasting time and money, I think what makes the difference between using Proto.io over other alternatives is fluides their transitions and intuitive interface editor. Proto.io is amazing!

“Prototype for all devices” is one of my favorite features! So this is a very usefull service for Android AND iOS prototyping!
Few month ago I had to design a prototype app for a presentation in the university (iPhone/Galaxy SII). It took hours build them with photoshop and other programms… unfortunately I didn’t know this service before :/
Perhaps my next prototype will be done with proto.io!
And thanks for this giveaway!

The storage space and unlimited reviewers. I have a few projects I need to work on simultaneously and really need the ability to share with various groups of people.
Angel Ceballos
November 13th, 2012
I’m currently using the platform for a quick mock for a project, but some of the main features i love so far and will continue to use is the ability to Prototype for all devices, UI libraries, sharing, adding your own assets like custom UI elements, export to HTML, and all the interactions.
Hope I win and continue to use this platform like everyday :)
