PaintCode Review: Dynamic Graphics Made Easy

15 mins

Where to Go From Here?

PaintCode is a well designed and powerful app, that does a great job of converting designs to Objective-C and Swift Core Graphics code.

At the time of writing this article, PaintCode is $99.99. Is it worth the money?

Here’s our recommendation:

  • If you need to make dynamic graphics, custom controls with Core Graphics, or want to make resolution-independent graphics for your app: Then yes, PaintCode is a must-have tool in your development arsenal.
  • If you’ve been getting along just fine without Core Graphics: Then although PaintCode is a great tool, you might not need it in your case – hold off until you find a use case for it. PaintCode is a bit of a niche app; it’s great when you need it, but you might not always need it. Remember, plenty of great apps were made without PaintCode :]

And that’s it – happy painting! If you have any questions about PaintCode, or want to share your own experience of using it, please join in the forum discussion below!
