Application screen mock ups

[Lockhouse]

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm just looking for something relatively simple that can show 'what's in my head' as user stories and process maps only go so far for the stakeholders. A picture tells a thousand words, so they say.

Currently having a play with MockFlow which seems ok but, I agree, the likes of AdobeXD requires a bit more knowledge and had me scratching my head a bit!

Another Balsamiq user here. Have mocked up entire system designs using it. Quite clunky but very quick.

Balsamiq if you're okay with low-fidelity mock-ups

Axure if you need pixel perfect mock-ups

What do the learned collective use for creating decent looking mock ups?

I'd like to create something that's a bit better than some dodgy PowerPoint shapes.

Doesn't have to be free, more interested in good functionality.

TIA

Depends what you want out of it and how much you want to put in, most have a steep learning curve.

Sketch, Axure, Adobe InDesign/AdobeXD, Invision

I use Balsamic for quick and dirty wire-framing. If you want something more pretty, but it requires more skill take a look at axure.com. I have heard good things about Fluid UI but not yet used it.

Enterprise Architect does that kind of thing, but I'm sure that there'll be sexier stuff out there.
