How to Share iOS Mockups

Upstage

Upstage is a mobile application for developers and designers which allows you to easily share iOS app mockups with team members and clients.

It solves a need iOS designers and developers have to keep track of ideas, screens and approved designs all in one place. And a need to clearly and quickly communicate which designs have been approved for development and which are still in progress. Upstage makes all this possible.

General purpose tools like Google Apps and 37Signals' Basecamp can be used as project management tools, but it's easy to lose important messages about design approvals in various message threads. Upstage is a single-purpose app designed to address just this specific need.
