Play is one of the only reasons my iPad gets much use these days. Its such a clever tool that enables designers to think in context and with developer constraints. Is there a better way to design for mobile than on mobile?? Cheers to the team making this happen!

@justanothersidd Thanks for much for the kind words Sid! We're so happy to hear Play is a core tool on your iPad!

Impressive demo! You're also pushing the "norms" by making the creation tooling mobile first. Have you received pushback from designers that are used to doing this on a computer?

@rrhoover Do you think this app can become Figma for iOS?

@rrhoover Thanks for the question! We believe there is still an important role for the desktop—we'll be making some exciting announcements on that soon! By starting with the phone it gave us the opportunity to rethink how to use the actual device we're designing for as more than an afterthought in the design process. We're really excited with how the iOS platform will work with other mediums (like desktop and tablet) to create a fresh approach for what a modern product design tool looks like.

Designing for mobile on your mobile device? As with all good design, it seems obvious once you see it. Will definitely try this.

@todaviamal It's definitely surprises a lot of people how well it works on iOS!

Dan & team's approach of "designing with real materials" is an inspiration!

@jsteneros Thanks Johan, Bravemark looks like an interesting product as well! Different context, but we're thinking a lot about the handoff process at Play too. Let us know what you think after you've played around with Play a bit! We'd love to get your thoughts / feedback.

Glad to see "mobile first products" are coming back. I've tried "Details pro" before which is similar product to this and it was lil buggish, I gave up the idea of building prototypes on portable devices. I am having high hopes on this 🤞 Kudos to the incredible team 🙌

I was lucky enough to test this years ago in the early stages and almost everything I wanted to be improved on the Play team delivered. Congrats on the launch guys!

@tashawnjones_ Thanks Tashawn! Mind sharing what else is on your list of desired improvements that we can take a look at?
