Mobbin

““I’m going to the web app less. I describe what I’m looking for, sometimes with a screenshot of my current design — this is what it looks like now, find me 10 other apps that have solved the same problem — and 2 or 3 minutes later I’m back in Figma.””

““With a few very good designers and the right tools, a small team can do a lot.””

““The designers mentioning Mobbin a lot are mostly junior. You don’t really see senior design leads at big companies talking about it. But that doesn’t mean they’re not using it. References are a key part of the design process no matter how experienced you are. We’re not afraid to admit that we use Mobbin.””

““When non-designers send references, they send the app download link. And I’m like, which part of the app? So we send very specific screenshots instead. You open it on Telegram, you see it immediately, you know exactly what I’m talking about.””

““When we reach a point in our discussion where we need references, we just reach for Mobbin. It’s not like we go on Pinterest or X.””

““It’s primarily for references, inspiration, and ideas. The fundamental need is the same.””

““Maybe having 2× the references actually slowed my process down. But that’s a good thing. Ultimately with design, you want the best idea. The best idea wins — not always the fastest idea.””

““I look at references on Mobbin not just for what to add — but more so, what should I remove? What have other products managed to remove from this flow, but yet still make the design make sense?””

““Mobbin was very useful in the first part. There were a lot of references for app interfaces. For the second part — from what I know, not so much yet.””

““Mobbin just made it a lot more accessible and efficient to distill a large amount of ideas into solving a specific design problem.””

““It’s not like I increased my design speed by 50%. I do my best work when I can discuss or sound off ideas with other designers. I had no one to do that with when I first joined. But the references on Mobbin kind of gave that same type of discussion — in my own head.””

““It was probably the first design tool that we paid for, apart from Figma. I was the only designer. Mobbin made it feel like maybe I had one and a half designers.””

““ If it’s urgent, it’s easy to just go to Mobbin and see similar patterns instead of doing user testing from scratch. ””

““It would be very painful. Going through all those apps would cost extra time. And with crypto and fintech regulated differently in every market, a lot of them I can’t even access.””

““I tried a competitor of yours because they had an MCP. But it didn’t work well. I could only use it in Claude Code, not Cursor, and it just gave me a link to their site instead of showing me the results. It’s like extra steps.””

““I was revamping a feature where users create API keys in batch, more than one at a time. I tried to search for batch-creation patterns, but the keyword doesn’t work that well in Mobbin. It’s a design pattern, but not a common one, especially on app side. It’s a very enterprise-platform thing.””

““AI is still relatively new, so the common patterns on TikTok and the big social apps look the same. I went to Mobbin to find hidden gems, apps I hadn’t used before, with newer flows for changing your photos or profile. That gave me more ideas for the whole interaction.””

““We try to keep daily work well planned, but there’s always an urgent task, or we suddenly need to change something. If it’s urgent, it’s easy to just go to Mobbin and see similar patterns instead of doing user testing from scratch.””

““I cannot get on [a lot of these apps] easily. I cannot even go on the app and use it as a normal user. So I got all my screens from Mobbin to reference.””

““We’d go back to installing apps, taking screenshots, organising Figma boards, and hoping the references were still current. The AI would go back to guessing. Mobbin turns all of that into a research layer we can use in minutes.””

““A good reference doesn’t tell a team what to copy. It gives everyone the same language for what should work, and why.””

““It’s still the best place to find UI inspiration, references, and real product patterns. The library is deep enough that I can go from a broad direction to a specific design decision without leaving the workflow.””

““Students think they need more inspiration. What they usually need is better reference material and a method for studying it. Mobbin gives them both.””

““The exciting part of the MCP is that the AI doesn’t have to guess what a good onboarding flow or pricing page looks like. It starts from real products, and I spend my time directing the idea instead of fighting generic output.””

““I’ve used Mobbin for years because it keeps getting more useful. It’s one of the products my students already know and love, and one of the few design tools I can recommend without explaining why references matter. They feel the value immediately.””
