This tool is great for a variety of things!

PROS

At first, we used it to make responsive prototypes, but we realized that it could be used for many other things, including sales demos, landing pages, and more. The software is easy to use, helps us get things done faster, and most importantly it doesn't require engineers to be involved!

CONS

It doesn't generate perfect code, but it does save us a lot of time in development

Vendor Response

Thank you Muli!

Great tool for prototyping frontend apps

Experience with Anima was mind-blowing, we have reconsidered our approach to prototyping. We have developed new business opportunities with limited cost thanks to this product. We believe more and more coding languages support are to be expected. This is the kind of tool we wish to have internally and possibly choose to customize with machine learning model or even simply a specific framework snippets. Unfortunately even with all the new possibilities offered by Anima, we have experienced resistance to the change. So maybe we didn't communicate well enough to the team how Anima can provide solid time saving value added proposition to our frontend development workflow. We believe this kind of assistive-tech-tool is going to be almost mandatory in the near future.

PROS

Anima integration with Fygma is a very fluid workflow, even we the free product we knew what to expect. Using the paid product was easy and useful. The UI/UX is good.

CONS

Regarding the code language available, we've found it was too limited for our use-case, we have decided to switch to React with TypeScript support, which has a notoriously hard liftoff phase. At the end we ran out of time partly because of this. Anima should/could provide a low-code view of the generated code, because sometimes it's too long. We would have hoped for faster conversion of the anima project (only page/feature per page at the moment of testing ) Anima may/should add unit tests to the generated code (we may have missed it though) Anima may/should provide a cloud based IDE for peer coding

Reason for choosing Anima

Integration with Fygma

Reasons for switching to Anima

We ran out of time and we needed to have a working prototype asap. Also having an integration with VS code was handy.

Vendor Response

Hey there Etienne, We're psyched to see you're getting the most out of Anima and enjoying your experience! We are constantly working on adding new things and improving Anima. Watch this space we have some cool things coming up! Team Anima <3

I dont know the potential of Anima

I started using Sketch and found out that I need Anima to upload my website. Apart from that, I know that I can use it to collaborate with team (if I had one) other than that I've never really taken the time to learn what else it can do as sometimes the way you try to educate your users is maybe too quick (like a lot of modern programs which show these short videos that bang and whoosh a lot but finding out what I need to do is so difficult or not interesting)

PROS

You press a button and it uploads your website for you.

CONS

I don't really know what it does apart from upload my software.

Reason for choosing Anima

Well im toying with the idea of going back to Adobe Creative Suite becuase I cant get Sketch on my Ipad and I dont know if I can get Anima on my ipad either and because I cant get sketch I wont need Anima.

Reasons for switching to Anima

Everyone was talking about Sketch

Vendor Response

Hey Leszek, thanks for the review! Anima is a design-to-code platform that lets designers create fully responsive prototypes from Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch, and eases the handoff to developers by automatically translating the design into developer-friendly HTML, Vue, and React code. If you need any support to use Anima you can either reach out to support@animaapp.com or reach out in the chat on the Anima platform. Our support reps should get back to you within 1-2 business days. Happy designing

Helping to bring our designs to life...

We've had a lot of fun learning the software and are continuing to try new things and figure out how best to integrate it into our workflow. It's also enabling us to challenge our current workflow too. The support team have been particularly reactive and helpful, which is really appreciated!

PROS

The responsive tools are great and the ability to build in certain functions such as text input, interactions, video etc. has helped us bring our designs to life and present them to our clients.

CONS

The comments feature definitely needs improvement and the software has been prone to crashing for us when syncing updates to projects.

Reasons for switching to Anima

We wanted to try a different tool that enabled our team to take design prototyping to the next level, which Animaapp is helping us to achieve thus far.

Vendor Response

Hi Shannon, thank you so much for taking the time to review us! The syncing time has been under our radar and we improved it A LOT over the past few weeks. Make sure you get the latest version of the plugin to enjoy the fast syncing! Happy designing! Team Anima

Chanty

It is a new platform for me and is working well. Clear to work out. I have had incredible support help from Shira, she has been the best support I have received today. Going the extra mile to explain to me and has been patient and exceptionally helpful. First class on her behalf.

PROS

Easy, clear and straight forward. The support help I have received from Shira has been incredible. I like that the code is easy accessible and easily exported.

CONS

I find plugins sometimes dont work especially on the Figma side. I did get stuck in finding my way around the platform.

Reason for choosing Anima

It was the only platform that seemed to export code in 3 different languages that appeared straight forward to do so. I had looked at Workflow but Anima worked with Figma and that made sense.

Vendor Response

Hey Chantelle thanks for the review! We're super pleased to see that you're finding Anima helpful you and even happier to hear that you're having a great experience with customer support. We're here if you need anything more. Team Anima <3
