What do you like best about Principle?

I like how principle is straightforward to learn and use, I accidentally make the trial and I was amazed that is an excellent app an I spend 20 minutes to animate my first user interface, it is elementary to use, export and share animation an also have a reasonable price in the market.

Another thing that I want to highlight is the way that you easy import from sketch es like magic, and also how it put the vector graphics in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Principle?

When you import form sketch you need to be careful about the names of the shapes, because they will animate the elements with the same name so is confusing when you´re a beginner because when you play your frist animation you´ll se elements mooving in a ramdom approach if you named it badly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Principle:

If you´re using User-Centered methodologies to do your projects, you should use Principle to test iterations in a fast way to have the most valuable experience in a short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed to build small iterations for developers but also for customers to see how the apps will animate in terms of transitions, illustration, and even behavior of the buttons, principle helped us doing that in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Principle?

The options that it allows you to animate the design prototypes straight from the sketch. The smoothness that the animation comes out. The ability to export in .mov and .gifs straight out of the Principle Preview. The different easing options that the animation builder allows you to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Principle?

It's not very straight forward and easy to use. Sometimes you get confused when building animation and sometimes even though you know the software you don't know how the animation would turn out. The logic between linking different artboards is a bit confusing and needs a lot of practice to get it right, but eventually, once you do turns out to do magical things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Principle:

If you need to bring a design to life and showcase it's interactions it's a great tool to use to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to bring designs to life in real-world prototypes that you can hold in your hand on your mobile device and experience it for yourself. It solves the problem of not only viewing a static design but also seeing it's interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Principle?

I like the ability to turn artboards into quick animations. I can import these artboards from Sketch or make them on my own in Principle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Principle?

This program isn't ideal for making large design systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Animation and interaction is an important part of making digital products. Principle is also an easy-to-use tool for making animations for social media and presentations to stakeholders. It has also been really good to use for developer handoffs. When I present my artboards, I provide the images and specs of each, but I also provide animations of how they should interact together.
