Play: Create Better Apps

Published by: Rabbit 3 Times

Description

Play has been awarded the 2025 Apple Design Award for Innovation! We're honored to be recognized with one of Apple's highest accolades.
If you’re designing a mobile app, we’re building Play for you. Play combines a familiar design canvas with the power of Apple's native iOS elements, access to device hardware, and interactions that use Core Animation. Play takes a new approach to app design by giving you access to the native materials of the medium, but design and prototype from both your Mac and iPhone.
Play’s Features
— Design with native iOS elements like Apple Maps, Swift Charts, SF Symbols, Materials, input text fields, date pickers, switches, steppers, modals, and more.
— Design interactions that are performant, interruptible, and use Apple's Core Animation to render your prototype with the same technology as a finished mobile app.
— Tap directly into the powerful capabilities of Apple hardware with features like the camera and haptics.
— Design collaboratively on your Mac and your iPhone, all synced in real-time.
— Already have designs in Figma? Easily copy and paste right into Play to continue working
— Designs and prototypes are responsive by default in Play. Easily view your work across every iPhone device with the tap of a button.
— Use SwiftUI code that’s generated in real-time based on your designs, letting engineers easily layout views in Xcode.

I have been trying to figure out this app for about 1 hr and it may just be me but i got stuck on moving text all the way to the top of the page. If you can. Learn fast and understand things easily I would recommend this. But Devs can you make the UI more understandable but don’t change where you have to swipe left to get to the items I LOVE that feature.

Keeps crashing

MacOS app looks solid. iOS app needs to be responsive. I hate when I open up an app on my iPad Pro and it’s fixed to a portrait aspect ratio - as a user I immediately feel that this app is then not for me on this device.

Is it safe to use

I had the opportunity to discuss with a team member the potential of implementing this software on an iPad as an alternative to a MacBook for those who already own an iPad and an iPhone. The idea was to improve workflow efficiency and accessibility, particularly for users who don’t have access to a MacBook but still require a seamless design and development experience. However, at this time, they are not interested in exploring this option. That said, I believe that broadening the scope of implementation could significantly enhance both workflow and market share. By optimizing the software for iPadOS and ensuring it works seamlessly across Apple’s ecosystem—including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks—developers and designers would gain more flexibility in their work. Many professionals, particularly those in creative and technical fields, are adopting iPads with accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, making them a viable workstation alternative. Additionally, integrating cloud-based development environments or leveraging platforms like Swift Playgrounds for iPad could provide a gateway for designers and developers to work remotely and efficiently. This would not only improve collaboration between design and development teams but also expand the software’s reach to a broader user base, including students, freelancers, and professionals looking for a mobile-first workflow. By taking a more forward-thinking approach to implementation, the company could tap into an underserved segment of users who need robust design and development tools but prefer or rely on iPads. Investing in cross-platform optimization would ultimately drive adoption, enhance productivity, and position the company as an innovator in the industry.
