Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably already know about Dribbble. It’s a lovely community of all of designers that share the work they’re either currently working on or have just released to the public. It’s a great place for designers to tease their work and get feedback from other designers and at the same time, generate curiosity towards the design. It is also one of our recommendations for sources to follow for design inspiration.
While the Dribbble website works great on the iPhone and iPad, a native experience is always preferred. Using their API, a lot of developers have introduced Dribble apps in the past — including some fantastic ones like Play by Play, Swish, Dribbblr and Nibbble. Balllin’ is the latest addition to that list.
Balllin’ (yes, that’s three ‘l’s in there) is a beautiful new app for iPhone and iPad that gives you a native experience while browsing Dribbble. The app looks amazing both on iPhone and iPad and features a beautiful use of gradients, UI elements and glyphs. You can browse through the popular shots, debuts, everyones and if you have an account, shots from people you’re following. Tapping on each shot pulls up the comments on that shot next to it along with the number of views, likes it has. Balllin’ will also pull up any rebounds that shot has and a list of ‘more shots by [user]’.
Balllin is available on the App Store for just $0.99 and considering it is a universal app, is a great choice from the already fantastic list of Dribbble clients for iOS.
