Every great mobile application starts with an idea.  The effort and resources it takes to turn that idea into a working prototype that you can show to others costs serious amounts of time and money.  POP (Prototyping on Paper) is a cool product that makes the process of demonstrating your idea for a mobile application quicker and easier.  All you need for POP to turn your idea into a working prototype is a pen, paper, and a smartphone.  POP turns your sketches and drawn concepts for an app into prototypes that you can show others on a mobile phone.  You simply take a picture of your concept’s sketch with your smartphone’s camera, and, in POP’s own app, you can edit it to create a functional design with buttons and links to show off your concept to others.  POP is available on iPhone with an Android version in development.  If POP gives you technical issues, smartphone tech support can help you get the app working properly.

Woomoo, the company that developed POP, created the app in an attempt to save designers and developers time and effort when working through early concepts.  Now, the sketches that designers draw on notepads at their desk or on their napkins at lunch can quickly and easily turn into working prototypes for presentation.  POP could also be an efficient way of getting feedback on early design ideas.  Rather than go through a harrowing developing process only to find out that certain functions of your app have design issues, developers can use POP to get early feedback and weed out bigger mistakes early on in the development process.  Developers and designers could potentially save significant time and money avoiding dead-end paths by using POP to test out early designs.  With POP, it will be easier to find app prototypes that are accessible to users and avoid ones that make them immediately call mobile tech support due to unfriendly design.

Developers and designers will always welcome cool products that make their work easier and help them be more productive.  Therefore, POP certainly has a market for its interesting and unique capabilities.  Only time will tell if the folks at Woomoo can capitalize on that market and keep POP successful.
