It’s fantastic. We use it on a daily basis in our project:

Peldi is awesome! We have been using Balsamiq for many weeks now and it has helped us a lot. We have discovered some issues early-on when prototyping our screens and it has saved us a ton of time!

To dror: this tool is best meant to be an offline tool, not an online service. I am not sure what services you want from it that you can’t get from its current “product” form?

I ran into this before and liked it, but would want to see it as a service rather than as a product.

Mockups is bitchin’. Pure and simple. It’s rare to find a tool that both devs and non-devs enjoy using, and use productively together. Huge fan!

I’ve started using Balsamiq 3 months ago. We use it internally to sketch out UI ideas. It’s faster than pen & paper and gets the job done quickly. Peldi is very active in his support forums so you can expect a top-notch service. I’m a fan.

We use Balsamiq Mockups when hashing out ideas with clients. We can huddle around the Mac or put it up on a screen, and roughly determine what the app will look like. It’s especially good because clients don’t expect us to create an app directly from the mockups. That, and we can create them in record time.

Wow thanks so much for the review Mike! I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time, so this is kind-of like Christmas for me. ;)

I am getting ready to ship an updated version (1.5), with a lot of improvements: details and pre-release download links are here here: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop/next

I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. And if you hit any problems or have any suggestions, I’m all ears! :)

Thanks again,
Peldi
