I appreciate the toolkit and the implementation of working with prototypes. I like the live preview in the design workspace. The simplicity of iterations allows for quick and easy updates to animations, instantly capturing progress.

It's the best prototyping tool for creating awesome animations that would possibly increase UX & interaction. Give it a try

Pros

After a few years of working with Python, I tried a few apps that claimed to be the best for classic UI designs, but, Principle has been proven to be worthy of it.

For me, Principle is the perfect designer's choice so far. It works flawlessly for animations and transitions with an easy-to-use graphic interface and is ultimately my #1 recommended tool for all UI aspirants.

Trust me, it's super easy to work with and can be very productive if you are creative.

Cons

I totally dislike the overall quality of built-in fonts. They are not easy to use and are not attractive.
