What do you like best about Flinto?

Flinto allows you to prototype workflows on digital applications seamlessly. It integrates with Sketch, so all your artboards are linked up automagically and you can start prototyping animations, tranistions, and click-paths. It speeds up the design iteration process tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

Sometimes it is not as intuitive as I would like. The learning curve is pretty steep. I was on YouTube and watching tutorials a ton until I got the hang of it and even still will have to go back to tutorials and help pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

There are a ton of other competitors out there, but this is the best one I have found from a cost and functionality perspective. It is worth trying the free trial out to see if you like what you can build on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving money on actually building working code prototypes to see how design features work. We can move through ideas and iterations without putting in the engineering hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

It's great for mocking up effects like animations, transitions without the issues of a very heavy program like after effects. I think performance wise, Flinto is great and allows me to incorporate animations and effects into my designs without affecting the overall performance on my system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

When I first started using it, I was still struggling to understand all the tools. I think there is a better way to onboard a user, perhaps adding some visual cues that notify or emphasize on what tools do what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

It's a great solution if you're looking to make quick animations or present specific types of effects for components or interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I am handing off my designs to development, often times - our prototyping tool does not have animating capabilities. I utilize flinto to create those animations and share it with the team so it communicates visually what I am looking to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Flinto?

I love the capabilities of animation for our prototypes. intuitive once you get the hang of it, Free-form animation has its good and bad qualities. Good Qualities being that pretty much any animation style you would like to add to your experience can be done, scrolling, sticky states, spinny icons. the new updated version now allows you to edit text and create additional UI to fill any gabs you come your by whilst connecting your screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

the software is still going through some growing pains it seems. it's not exactly "user-friendly" I wish the "live Preview" was more flexible as far as adjusting screen size, I have had issues when using smaller screens to test prototypes the preview state was not flexible and could not be zoomed in on or adjusted. often times "hover states" get wonky when there are multiple behaviors happening in one zone. sometimes when I add additional content to an art board after behaviors have been added, all of my visuals get wonky and warped into different parts of the page, this is incredibly annoying because I keep having to redo my animations and fix placements. It crashes on me when I have too much animations going on in one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

Take the time to watch ALL tutorials. They will most likely not give you exactly what you are trying to achieve, However it will give you the tools to be able to improvise and figure things out as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

The app is quick and stable, and it's easy to use with a simple interface. I like that it has dynamic panels in the design interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

This app has fewer options and capabilities than its competitors. The lack of graphical design tools is a particular problem. It also can't import files from other apps like Sketch, which presents a problem when working in a mixed environment or with other designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

It's a simple and easy app to use for rapid prototyping, but you may wish to consider InVision or Sketch for a more complete solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to for rapid prototyping simple mobile interface designs. It's a quick and easy app to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

It has an easy to use format. It's very easy to learn how to use when first using the product. The main draw to Flinto is being able to prototype an app without actually coding the app by ourselves. When I used the product, I was in a small group of New Media students designing an app for an academics based project. It was key to use Flinto as a way to show exactly what we wanted in terms of app animation, menu flow, user interaction, etc. Since we used it back in 2015, it looks like Flinto has had quite a bit added to it and may have features that were not readily available back in 2015. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

Subscription based for Flinto Lite. Depending on the project, the price can seem a bit if you're working alone or are purchasing the product to just mess around. We came across a bug or two here and there, but ultimately it did not affect our experience with the product and we were able to do prototype testing with success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

Make sure you have all your assets ready if you're considering starting with the free trial. Essentially for my team, when we used this product we had all the photoshop and illustrator files ready to input into the software. For us, we worked on student accounts and had free versions of Flinto used for academic purposes, but keep in mind the subscription costs when using Flinto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

When creating a test app for a New Media project, we were able to show how the interface would look to programmers we were working with. Ultimately, I think it helps bridge design people and programming people when it comes to developing apps. You can show almost exactly how an app would work and it's a great step after doing an app flowchart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

Making transitions and animations is extremely easy. Much better than Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

It doesn't link up with Invision, unfortunately. But it is extremely easy to create content with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

It's pretty cheap, but I would keep an eye out for Invision Studio which seems like it'll be Sketch + Flinto all in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flinto allows me to visualize my interaction ideas for websites, apps, programs without needing code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

I really enjoy the ease of usability. Animations are no simple task, especially when it's not something you do constantly for your work. I jumped right into the product knowing nothing and was able to complete a really well done animation for a mobile app design in a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

The Sketch import is a great feature, but it can get a little cumbersome. The export options for animations is a little disappointing as well. I couldn't successfully export a higher resolution GIF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

Give yourself a day or two to really familiarize yourself with the product. I was lucky enough to have an employer that welcomed learning new tools, so they set time aside for that. There's nothing like being able to practice on your own time without the deadline of a project hindering your education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a way to show the developers the animations we (as designers) were thinking of in our head. We'd usually succumb to Dribbble shots that (hopefully) showed off what we were trying to explain, only to end up giving in to the lack of software and doing whatever someone on Dribbble already did. With Flinto, we were able to quickly put together animations that were original and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

The ability to quickly mock up multiple screens and create one app prototype is superb! The new behavior designer makes it so easy to create interactions for UI patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

So many bugs! Not sure why but I feel like most products these days are unstable than the past few years. Maybe the team is saving on QA to test based on user feedback? If bugs were all fixed then I would give it a 10/10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

Flinto is awesome when you want to quickly create a prototype hands down! I would strongly recommend this over other prototyping tools such as Framer, Principle, Invision and the list goes on. As a designer that has experience with all of these tools, I feel like Flinto is the strongest and fastest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly mocking up prototypes before development. You save money and time by testing your apps out before actual development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flinto?

I like it because it behaves very well within the range of platforms for prototyping. Good transitions, easy to use, really very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinto?

I do not like that there is a Windows version. I wish there were more opportunities to learn the different variants in animation that offer, more material this style would be amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinto:

Keep working on teaching materials for users, creating new alternatives linked to material design, go very well, I love flinto but still can improve a lot more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinto solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me a lot to show the customer a more realistic version of the application design I'm doing. It is also an amazing guide for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
