    I have used Pencil Project for a couple of projects and it is good for app designing.

    It is a very nice tool but Axure allows you to add interactivity to the wireframe/mockup. It is possible to insert behaviors: Pencil, which I often use with satisfaction, is little more than a slides editor...
