What is the most designer-friendly and intuitive wireframing and/or UX app?

Check out Lucidchart. They have pre-defined wireframe and mockup (iPad, iPhone, Android) shape libraries, so it’s easy to drag and drop elements into my mockup. It’s easy to import pictures, so sometimes if I want a really sophisticated mockup in the final stages of the design, I’ll import designs I’ve create in Photoshop as images, and use them as drag and drop elements.
Some of the unique things about Lucidchart are:

· Works on any operating system, which is great when developers and designers need to interact (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.)

· Real-time collaboration.  This means that anyone you share your design with can always see the most recent version, and that you can work together with others simultaneously.

· Interaction and Demo mode. There are “hot spots” or linking areas within Lucidchart that allow you to add interactivity to your designs.

Startup Weekend: Five Tips How To Ship

Watching people build their ideas is a wonderful experience. I’ve gone through Startup Weekend myself: I participated in the Los Angeles 2009 event, and learned a lot about working with a team in a time compressed environment.

What is the best software for doing mobile interaction/UX design for native apps?

What is the best software for doing mobile interaction/UX design for native apps?

I would recommend Lucidchart. It’s really easy to do mock-ups of the following:

1. iOS devices: iPhone and iPad
2. Android devices (drag and drop) shapes and templates
3. Any website (wireframing).

You can also add interaction with “hot spots”, which are basically areas that link to other parts of the mockup (pop-ups, other screens, etc.).

Lucidchart has a free 14 day trial so it’s a low risk program to try, and it is web-based, so you can access your files anytime on any device. It also allows you to collaborate in real-time — more than one designer/developer can be working on the design at the same time. I work for Lucidchart, and we are currently using it to mock up our own mobile apps.
