Summary

Sketchize brings lots of freedom in the process of designing mobile, desktop or tablet applications. With the free sketch sheets, you can easily put down your ideas and concepts to realistic wireframes for different apps.

Of course, while many people keep getting inclined online wireframing kits, there is absolutely no problem choosing to start the process of creating lovely apps by drawing on printed sheets. Sketchize is one nice tool that any freelance or professional designer should consider checking out.
