80. © 2016 CapTech Ventures, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Adobe must overcome a big
functionality gap to allow for
comprehensive UI design
capabilities in Experience
Design
InVision must release the
Craft Prototype plugin to
allow for native prototyping
in Sketch
THE BIG QUESTION
Which app will be the first to deliver comprehensive
UI design AND native prototyping capabilities?
