The Ionic Platform is built for architects, senior developers, and executives tasked with managing app development and identifying solutions that can accommodate their every need—while also simplifying and streamlining the development process.

About Ionic

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.

    "Excellent service"

    Edited 2023-04-05

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

    Cons: In some of the services, the lack of reliability.

    Overall: I have created apps for a long time. Researched and implemented almost all services offered. I really like using Ionic.

    "Ionic Review"

    Posted 2022-12-18

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: 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.

    "Ionic Rocks!"

    Posted 2022-10-07

    Pros: 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.

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

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

    "Single development platform for multiple devices & languages"

    Edited 2022-10-07

    Pros: 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.

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

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

    "Great mobile framework and ecosystem"

    Posted 2022-05-16

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

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