What is Mobile App Prototyping?

Mobile app development is a multifaceted process, and at its core lies the critical step of mobile app prototyping. This essential phase allows developers and designers to visualize the design, navigation, and usability of a mobile application without delving into extensive programming. In essence, mobile app prototyping serves as a digital sketchpad, providing a clear preview of an app's appearance and functionality.

Different Kinds of Mobile App Prototypes

low-fidelity-prototyping

Low-fidelity mobile app prototypes

A low-fidelity mobile app prototype is an initial, simplified representation of an application’s design and functionality.
high-fidelity-prototyping

High-fidelity mobile app prototypes

In contrast, a high-fidelity mobile app prototype is a more advanced and detailed representation of an application’s design and functionality

Steps in Making a Mobile App Prototype
