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.

About

The Ultimate RAD environment loved by developers for quickly building high-performance native cross-platform applications in modern C++ and Delphi using powerful visual design tools and integrated toolchains. Smarter code navigation when refactoring. Auto code completion with Tab key. LSP awareness of Include files. Auto restart of LSP server. Class helper support. Array suggestions when assigning arrays. Inactive code highlighting in Code Editor. High-DPI support in the IDE, with full support for the latest 4k+ monitors, and cleaner and sharper fonts and icons throughout. Improved FMX High-DPI support for Windows and Desktop with a visibly superior desktop UI. Reduces the complexities of rapidly building and deploying a multi-tier turn-key enterprise REST API application server with Swagger support.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • RAD Studio is a pretty powerful tool. Clean interface and functionality that has improved my ability to develop across multiple platforms which is usually never fun.

Cons

  • For a while I felt like I wasn't using it to its full potential, but after diving into documentation I was able to get over the hump and take advantage of most of the features that were relevant to me.
