Essential for website quality assurance and front-end development

Our desks used to be full of devices – iphone, android phone, ipad, macbook and windows laptop. Refreshing all the screens to see if the client's website looked great at different viewpoints took time. Probably 40% of the build time is QA and testing. Polypane solves this problem by letting you view multiple viewports and set guides/rulers to see if everything lines up as you scroll.

PROS

The passion of the creator and constant improvement. We mostly use this for testing website responsive viewport sizes side-by-side, but there is so much more here.

CONS

The refresh icon was on the right side of the address bar (a hang over of previous browser UI), but this changed last year. The expereince is seamless coming from using F12 in Chrome.

Reasons for switching to Polypane

Abandonware. With browsers changing all the time it's vital to invest in software that gets updated.

Mobile Development Must-Have

Polypane is an amazing developer-centered browser with a ton of tools for UI/UX developers.

PROS

Being able to see all screen sizes simultaneously, and being able to judge CSS breakpoint changes immediately is absolutely a game changer. It's sped up my development immensely.

CONS

The only quibble I have with Polypane is that I'd like to have the ability to stack the panes vertically instead of horizontally.

Reasons for switching to Polypane

Price, ease of use, and instant results.

My thoughts on polyplane

Overall the experience is pretty good, I'd say value for money.

PROS

I liked the that I can view different screens at once, and there's a browser that comes in handy when I need to troubleshoot / read docs on a library

CONS

I think it does have a learning curve, and takes some getting used to.

Polypane review by UI/UX Designer

PROS

I liked that i could check the website across different screens at once without issues. This sped up my developer review tasks significantly

CONS

Other browsers are usually free, while i can't find extension for the feature i like yet, it may be available eventually. For that i think $9/month is a bit too high

A reliable tool i can highly rely on in my front-end development job

PROS

The ability to view my website in both the mobile, tablet and desktop view has made me and my clients happy when working. Previously I used some other browsers which of course didn't show some of the bugs in the design/development process. All I can say is, it has saved me a lot of time and money, all in one!

CONS

There was an inability to scroll in my panes but hopefully this bug will be fixed in the next release.
