    Single development platform for multiple devices & languages

    5 out of 5 stars Updated: Oct 07 2022
    Summary

    Fantastic platform for UX development which supports multiple deployment environments. Go Ionic Go.

    Positive

    When I was looking to build my first mobile application, I really wanted to write once and deploy to both Android and iOS. Everyone told me I would not be able to use native functionality if I did this. But they were wrong and the native integration just gets better and better. I now support web, PWA as well as Android and iOS from a single code base. I also love AppFlow which makes compiling and distributing apps to the Apple App Store easy.

    Negative

    I would love to see better integration to local/native applications. Example download a PPTX and show using a local/native copy of PowerPoint.

    Ionic Rocks!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 07 2022
    Summary

    Excellent! We are very happy with Ionic and hope to continue to see more innovations in building good looking apps like games etc.

    Positive

    Hands down the best tool for ios and android development. Our church team just produced version 2 of our app using Ionic, VS Code and elbow grease.

    We love the ecosystem with Cordova's libraries

    Push notifications are also easier now!

    The speed is lovely.

    Negative

    Honestly nothing yet. Our app is simple but good looking. We haven't needed to push the limit just yet.

    Ionic Review

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 18 2022
    Summary

    I'd give Ionic a solid 8 out of 10. It's a great tool for quickly creating interactive mobile apps, and the drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to use. The only real downside is the lack of native capabilities, so it may not be the best choice for more complex projects.

    Positive

    Ionic has a great set of tools and features that make it a breeze to create beautiful, interactive apps. It's easy to use, with a simple drag-and-drop interface, so even those with limited coding experience can quickly put together an app. It also supports both Android and iOS, so you can create apps for both platforms, and it integrates well with other frameworks like Angular and Cordova, so it's easy to add in additional features.

    Negative

    The biggest downside to Ionic is that it has limited native capabilities. If you want to access device hardware or use native functions, you'll need to use a platform-specific SDK. Additionally, Ionic can be a bit slow and resource-intensive, so if you're looking for a lightweight solution, it may not be the best option.

    Great mobile framework and ecosystem

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 16 2022
    Summary

    It's great to build our apps using Ionic ecosystem. We can develop apps, build and distribute with great articles to help our team.

    Positive

    We use a lot capacitor.js to enable every javascript framework to work well in mobile. Our team currently do not work with iOS, so AppFlow is a great tool to build, deploy and automate ours mobile apps updates.

    Negative

    Some features like .env in AppFlow is a little expensive to small projects.
