Polypane has saved me a lot of money and time
Reviewed on 2022/03/15

I am not a full-time website developer but it is within my responsibilities to audit and improve overall website functionality and visual performance. Polypane became my tool of choice for this as soon as it came out.
The simplest way Polypane is saving me money is when I need to evaluate a theme for a website at a marketplace like ThemeForest. I can run any theme demo via Polypane and quickly see if it could work, or is not suitable for the task — just by looking at the desktop and mobile view at the same time.
Before I bought Polypane, I kept a couple of tablets and several mobile phones around just so that I could put a design through its paces at different resolutions and see how well or poorly it performed. In the past, I have purchased many $50-70 theme only to find out later they would not work for me because the menu doesn't look well or something; with Polypane I can weed off the unsuitable themes very quickly.
It also helps me a lot to communicate the work I am doing to my customers. Many people still view their own websites only on desktop and demand solutions that don't work on mobile; a simple screenshot from Polypane allows me to show them quickly where the issue lies, and propose a better solution.
Pros
Polypane is an ambitious project: it combines website design & development, functional testing and accessibility testing (these are often addressed by different tools otherwise, especially the last one).
Feature development is ongoing, and valuable features are added every 3-6 months.
The developer Kilian Valkhof is extremely accessible and very generous with his time. The Polypane website which he runs in parallel with the Polypane app, includes several useful tools and TONS of valuable information within the blog section.
Cons
With 2-3 website tabs open and 4-5 emulated devices per tab, Polypane gets a bit sluggish for my old PC (4C/8T Haswell at 3.5GHz, 32GB RAM). Sometimes synced scroll will not work reliably.

Polypane as a next generation tool for software developers.
Reviewed on 2023/11/18
It's new and professional. I see myself using it a lot in feature.
It's new and professional. I see myself using it a lot in feature.
Pros
I like the responsiveness in terms of moving the pages around and especially the interface.
Cons
I have not found anything discouraging about the App but I have experienced some functional inadequacies like not being able to submit a form across all screen sizes with a click from one screen resolution and struggling to find the settings icon.
Response from Polypane
Thanks for your kind review! Regarding your findings: We explicitly prevent doing multiple form submissions, this is explained in the documentation: https://polypane.app/docs/synced-interactions/#form-submissions-are-prevented
If we submit a form multiple times, that means that your server is going to perform that action for each pane separately. If that actions is for example "Delete the latest item", then instead of deleting one item, you delete an item for each pane, and that would be bad.
Each tool in Polypane has its own settings, they're not put in one large settings overview to get lost in. Hope that helps!

Pros
Being able to see multiple breakpoints that are in sync. The other tools that are for Meta and Accessibility are also clutch.
Cons
Haven't found one yet. If you are looking at it as a dev tool it is pretty great.

indispensable!
Reviewed on 2023/11/26
Pros
With Polypane, pretty much every tool you might need to emulate how the user will interact with your site is right there—the range of accessibility tools is amazing.
Cons
It would be great if it were possible to switch views from the keyboard, like from “horizontal” to “focus”.
Response from Polypane
Thanks for your kind review! There are a couple of ways to switch using the keyboard, detailed on https://polypane.app/docs/layouts/
You can use the shortcut keys to switch to specific layouts (h for horizontal, f for focus) or shift + ctrl + m to switch between horizontal and most recently used.
Hope that helps!

Time saving development browser

I like how packaged the interface is like. You can have the tools in separate services but with Polypane, all is well integrated. You save time and it allow to be more focused because you don't have to switch between tools.
Cons
It require a bit of a learning curve. To be effective you have to explore, try and customize the interface.

It's pretty good to be honest, very sleek appearance, extensive configuration, really great assets for any web developer. Better than LambdaTest in my opinion.
Pros
Speed, Polypane is really fast, handles tabs efficiently and better than some traditional apps. I started using it for the multiple panes feature and I love it so much
Cons
This is a browser for devs, I don't think other users will pay to use it, so maybe if they want other users they should review the pricing.

I highly recommend Polypane to any web designer who wants to create responsive designs quickly and efficiently. It is easy to use, packed with features, and the browser extension is a huge time-saver. The only downside is that it is a paid tool, but in my opinion, it is well worth the investment for the benefits it provides.
Pros
Polypane has been invaluable in helping me create responsive designs for websites. It provides a variety of tools and features that make it easy to preview how a site will look on different screen sizes and resolutions. I particularly appreciate the ability to see how a site will look on multiple devices at once, which allows me to test and adjust the design more efficiently.
Cons
One area where Polypane could be improved is the authentication process. Currently, it involves sending a key to your email, which can be a bit of a hassle. However, this is a relatively minor issue and doesn't detract from the overall usefulness of the tool.

The developers sidekick
Reviewed on 2022/02/09
Pros
Polypane has become a mainstay of my website design and building process. I can't imagine working without it.
It's a really great tool for creating websites across different viewports. Synchronised scrolling makes it really easy to see how the site will behave.
The accessibility tools in Polypane are outstanding. It's something I've always tried to get better at but Polypane really does feel like a superpower.
With Polypane, I can make sure that the websites and apps, I'm building will work right across any kind of device.
Cons
I don't have anything bad to say about Polypane, it's a really great tool.

I use Polypane for all of my web development procedures. From debugging all the way to deployment, it's been great so far. The pricing is fairly reasonable for what it's offering and my experience has been positive with the overall software.
Pros
The best part about Polypane is that it allowed me to seamlessly migrate to a new experience from my existing platform of development. The client login procedure is minimalistic and perfect.
For web devs like me, the responsive view by default is beautiful & there are tons of features that I am sure developers will find helpful.
Cons
The Linux client of the software (one I am using) is not the best performing browser at least on the Debian (x86-64) platform. Performance optimization is much required.

Polypane has dramatically increased my development productivity and I've only scratched the surface. I'm rewriting a legacy web application to improve accessibility and Polypane has made my job a lot easier.
Pros
Switching between device sizes while writing HTML is frustrating. Polypane solves that problem by letting you look at different device sizes at one time.
Cons
Not their fault but it's all Chromium based. So if there are issues with Webkit, you may not see them.

I started with the free trial and immediately knew it was something I needed to include in my workflow. I have a bunch of tools bookmarked to handle various tasks, but now pretty much all of these have been replaced by Polypane, built directly into the browser.
Pros
It may be cop out answer, but I like all the tools available! Multipanes to display various screen sizes, accessibility testing features, helpful SEO meta information, even just the small feature of being able to open a separate website from the devtools pane is super helpful!
Cons
I have no complaints so far! I have a few ideas for feature requests, however the team behind Polypane seems great and quick to respond!

The only limitations I've experienced were the level of design skills I brought to the task. Polypane makes the job so much more efficient for discovering how to improve my own skills. For those who are well versed in how to attain their objects, this app will make your flow fly!
Pros
If you create responsive designs, Polypane is sure to make your life easier, your designs more precise, and your workflow better than you imagined possible for this task.
Cons
Polypane is so feature rich that finding them all is a pursuit, in itself. But [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is an exceptionally responsive and generous developer, and if the extensive documentation on the Polypane site doesn't get you where you need to go, he's very attentive to users' needs.

Overall, I love everything about Polypane! As a front end/software engineer, I can develop and test my work pretty quickly with all the tools around. Every time I use polypane, I find something new which is super fun. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is also a really nice person and responds to my emails and he was super helpful. He works hard to make sure other developers(us) have a better time developing!
Pros
I like the accessibility features the most because usually I would need many different extensions to test accessibility stuff, but Polypane has it all in one place.
Cons
Sometimes it's a bit slow especially when there's multiple windows/panes open. I usually have around 3-4 panes of different sizes open and that's a good spot, but when I want to fully test the responsiveness of my work, I open around like 10 panes and it gets a bit laggy(it could be my laptop)
