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

  • 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

  • The design team is outstanding - we continually get compliments on how professional and intuitive our app is - they truly made us look good. The tech dev team is brilliant and solution orientated. All are accessible and willing to help us succeed on their platform. The dev ops platform enabled us to get our start-up off the ground in a scalable way.
  • The power and flexibility of the platform is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a tech stack that allowed us to achieve whatever project we needed to build for our customers, whilst not handling the devops and raw infrastructure. That is all taken care of for us, including all of the security and reliability that we need.
  • The right balance between having control and not having to control everything. We can build pretty much anything but leave the DevOps to the experts. Finding that balance of performance, security, reliability, scalability and flexibility is extremely hard especially at the right price point.
  • For my application, flexibility and performance are the biggest pros of building on PlatformOS. Not needing to manage the infrastructure is also a huge benefit. The documentation is also very easy to use and understand.

Cons

  • The project took more time than expected and we had to give up on some scoped items in the end.
  • Knowing all the pieces to the puzzle to achieve your solution. The control you get is amazing, however that comes with responsibility. I wouldn't say it is a con as the freedom allows us to create solutions we couldn't do on other platforms, you just need to do your homework and know how the pieces all fit together.
  • There is a learning curve but it's 100% expected if you want this level of control and flexibility. They have worked hard to make the onboarding as easy as possible and have won various awards for how they've gone about this. Pricing is usage based and you have to be clear on your own pricing model, again this is expected from a PaaS platform but something to be aware of.
  • Not necessarily a con, but there is a learning curve.
