Pro Native prototyping
Deploy prototypes on any device right away. What's the point of prototyping mobile apps if you cannot deploy it on your mobile devices easily?
Pro IoT, Interactions across devices
Create prototypes e.g. chat platforms, payment apps etc. and deploy them on multiple devices and have them communicate with each other.
Pro Utilizes sensors very easily
Easily control the sensors of smart devices in your prototype, such as tilt, sound, compass, proximity sensor, vibration motor and 3D Touch sensors.
