About

Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Paint your app to life in milliseconds with Stateful Hot Reload. Use a rich set of fully-customizable widgets to build native interfaces in minutes. Quickly ship features with a focus on native end-user experiences. Layered architecture allows for full customization, which results in incredibly fast rendering and expressive and flexible designs. Flutter’s widgets incorporate all critical platform differences such as scrolling, navigation, icons and fonts, and your Flutter code is compiled to native ARM machine code using Dart's native compilers. Flutter's hot reload helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs faster. Experience sub-second reload times without losing state on emulators, simulators, and hardware.

About

The Ionic Platform allows you to bring your apps to market faster with an integrated app platform built on the leading cross-platform mobile SDK. Build, secure, and deliver new mobile apps—and transform existing ones—across iOS, Android, and Web platforms from a single codebase. Full scalability—Grow from prototype to production to enterprise-scale, without having to think about capacity, reliability, or performance. Better apps, everywhere—Slash your development time and costs with a platform that lets you write once and deploy anywhere—iOS, Android, and Web. The core of the Ionic development experience is Ionic Capacitor, a cross platform native runtime that runs equally well on native iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as any web browser. The big difference is that, unlike traditional native development or cross-platform approaches, the UI of a Capacitor app runs primarily in the browser.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It is an easy-to-learn framework that helps in creating mobile application with beautiful UI. - It helps in creating cross-platform application with single code that shortens the development time drastically. - It has numerous widgets readily available to create user interface with lots of customization. - It has a great community support.
  • - It helps in building deeply optimized cross-platform application for both Android and iOS with single code base. - The application created on Flutter as fast, if not more, than the application build on the native platform. - The community is really supportive and increasing rapidly with time, so there is a rare chance that the developer gets stuck on an error or bug.
  • 1. Flutter makes it quite easy to build a cross-platform application with native features and functionalities. 2. With the recent Flutter 2.0 update, Flutter now also allows the users to create stable web application along with mobile apps. 3. The application builds on Flutter is as fast as application build on native platforms. 4. There widget available for almost everything in flutter. 5. It uses Dart programming language, which is pretty easy to learn if the user has a prior knowledge of any OOP language. 6. There is a huge community present on the internet for helping out with errors.
  • Flutter helps in creating android, iOS and web application with a single code base. It uses a programming language called Dart, which is extremely easy and intuitive to learn if you have prior knowledge of any OOP language like Java. It has a huge community of support for discussions or to get help if you get stuck.
  • 1. Flutter can be used to develop cross-platform applications as it can create applications for both Android and iOS with a single code base. 2. The most unique feature of Flutter is "Hot Reload". When using hot reload the developer do not have to wait for minutes to build the application after every change, it saves the change and rebuilds the application in less than a second.

Cons

  • - The web application created on flutter is not as stable as the mobile applications. FEEDBACK: - Flutter team should focus more on perfecting the mobile application instead of introducing new development platforms like web application and Windows Application.
  • - The updates are rapid, and it creates problem in the form of dependency deprecation, so to tackle that the developer has to be updated about the new features and functionalities of the framework.
  • 1. The iOS application build on flutter is not as good as the android application in terms of native support and performance.
  • The only problem in using Flutter as an app development tool is that it is still evolving and growing and because of that after every major update the old project's code gets deprecated which sometimes is a huge hassle to migrate to the new syntax.
  • 1. Flutter is fairly a new framework and there is not a lot of tutorials of it available on the internet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The constant improvement, the community, the ease of implementation, how well it works on devices.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Cons

  • In some of the services, the lack of reliability.
  • 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.
  • Honestly nothing yet. Our app is simple but good looking. We haven't needed to push the limit just yet.
  • I would love to see better integration to local/native applications. Example download a PPTX and show using a local/native copy of PowerPoint.
  • Some features like .env in AppFlow is a little expensive to small projects.
