Is there an affordable Library of UI elements for iOS development?

[inside_world]

Hello,

I’m new to iOS development and I’m excited to start learning with the new Swift language. The language seems straightforward. Unfortunately, I’m the worst at creating good looking UIs with fancy animations for my apps. I’m doing my apps on the side and don’t have all day to code them.

I work as a Microsoft .Net programmer and the company that I work for uses Telerik to build their pretty UIs. It saves a lot of time in UI development. Is there something similar in the iOS world where I don’t have to pay a leg and an arm for it — currently $499.00 for Telerik products. I know there’s free stuff online but I’m wary about the licenses and the lack of updates when new versions of iOS come out.

Any help would very so appreciated. Thanks.
