It’s sometimes a struggle when a developer can’t quite convey their ideal app UI to a designer and ultimately leads to compromise or major office rows. Fortunately, Australian app developer Froggie, maker of games including Paper Shot and Hexed, has a solution.

Originally an in-house tool for mockup design, Froggie has now released Dapp for the wider community to use as an iPhone app for UI design.

The $9.99 tool works on the iPhone and allows developers to create mockups of their ideas before passing them over to their teams as a PDF layout or as code.

Alongside the benefits this tool provides developers looking to quickly design apps, Dapp also offers a unique way for beginners to learn how iPhone app coding works. iPhone GUIs can be customized within the app with a number of tools available to adjust colors, lists and images and the app adheres to the Apple UI Standard as a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool.

While it’s not as simple as just dragging and dropping buttons, images and text, Dapp looks to be a useful tool for any developer who wants to speed up their workflow or has difficulty communicating with designers.

More information and basic tutorials can be found at the Dapp website including the quick video tutorial embedded below. Dapp is available now on the App Store.
