Ever had a brilliant idea you know would make a killer app but lack the development nous or budget to pay a boffin?

Fear not, POP is here to help turn your pen and paper ideas into (virtual) reality. 

Pop will app itself

POP stands for Prototyping on Paper, it's a useful app designed to help turn ideas into working prototypes.

And the good news is you don't have to be a programmer to use it – all you really need is a pen and paper.

If you build it, they will download

Simply sketch out your idea on paper and take photos with Pop. You can easily import and crop multiple images.

Then comes the clever bit.

You then add hotspots and links, which allows you to assign functionality. This means if your hotspot is a button saying “About” you can then mock up the “About” page and see how the the app would function in no time.

You can also share the process with other team members, and add features like Gesture Control and transitions such as fades. 

No limit

The good thing about POP is that you're only really limited by your ability to draw – and even those of us who struggle with stick figures can manage mock up a rough outline of our dream app.

Once you're happy with your design POP then allows you to share your design and take your idea one step closer to reality.
