Introducing PhoneFinger

icon

PhoneFinger is a small app I wrote to solve a frustration I found early on in developing iPhone software: the simulator makes using the interface you designed look way easier than it really is! PhoneFinger simulates a human finger (complete with smudges) to help expose hidden usability problems.

I wrote it a couple months ago but decided to release it now as freeware because it was sitting on the shelf too long. I’ve used it for testing and to liven up demos for clients. It’s also a fun prank. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
