my experience with wireframing or low fidelity prototyping tools is pretty bad.

All of the tools is used seemed extremly time-consuming and limited in terms of creating.
You always have a fixed set of elements to choose from, fixed layouts and always a drag & drop system which makes it really slow.
Furthermore I couldn´t find any tool that works good or rather fluent and intuitive on a tablet.

I have tried balsamiq mockups, omnigraffle, axure, pencil project, mockflow, wireframe.cc and lucidchart.

I´m normally starting with sketches, mind maps, etc. to visualize the concept first. Afterwards I want to transform it into digital wireframes or low-fi prototypes which I want to use for early prototyping to get feedback about the structure, the logic the navigation and the app in general.The tool doesn´t need to have prototyping features, since I can do this with inVision or proto.io, but I need a quick solution, thats easy to work with and if possible availble for tablets

Did you experience the same problem or am I alone?
Can anybody please recommend me tools that are different and could fit my needs?

Thanks a lot!

in my experience it is best to draw these up using good old pencil and paper. I find that using a digital tool too much really doesn't get to the core of the wireframe and usually end up with the same result for each website.


Gather your notes
Grab a pen and pencil
Draw out some ideas on paper
Once happy and have a clear view then use a tool like Balsamiq.


This should speed up and have a more defined approach to your wireframes.
