Flutter Reviews & Product Details

Flutter is an open-source framework developed by Google for building natively compiled applications across multiple platforms, including mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices, all from a single codebase. It empowers developers to create high-performance, visually appealing applications that maintain a consistent user experience across different platforms. Key Features and Functionality: - Single Codebase: Developers can write one set of code and deploy it across various platforms, significantly reducing development time and effort. - High Performance: Flutter compiles directly to native ARM or Intel machine code, ensuring fast execution and smooth performance on all devices. - Hot Reload: This feature allows developers to see the results of code changes in real-time without restarting the application, enhancing productivity and facilitating rapid iteration. - Customizable Widgets: Flutter offers a rich set of fully customizable widgets that adhere to both Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-style) guidelines, enabling the creation of visually consistent and adaptive user interfaces. - Extensive Ecosystem: With a vast array of packages and plugins, Flutter supports integration with various services and APIs, extending its functionality to meet diverse development needs. Primary Value and User Solutions: Flutter addresses the challenge of developing and maintaining separate codebases for different platforms by providing a unified framework. This approach not only accelerates the development process but also ensures consistency in app behavior and appearance across platforms. By leveraging Flutter, businesses can reduce costs, streamline workflows, and deliver high-quality applications to a broader audience efficiently.

"Great tool for cross-platform developers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Flutter?

This program allows us to work very quickly. It offers cross-platform solutions, so we just need to work with one codebase which works both for IOS and Android. We are able to reuse a big part of the code between platforms. Each platform has its differences, but with the cross-platform support, it is easier for us to implement the same functions for IOS and Android. Additionally, it's less expensive than building separate apps for each platform. Another positive thing is that we are able to get access to more people as we can post our apps in both stores. In conclusion, we work better with Flutter than developing different apps for each platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flutter?

We are not able to develop apps with the same performance as native developers. We do not think it is a problem since every device has decent hardware nowadays. Furthermore, we need to wait more than native developers to implement the updates that Google and Apple implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flutter:

I recommended it to beginners or middle-experienced developers. It's easier to work with this program but it is true that you will get better results with native developing programs. However, this does not mean that you will get an awful app, in fact, in some cases you will get better results than native developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Flutter to deal with our clients' orders. We have not developed a private app for our company, but I am sure that if we do it in the future, we will use this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Promising"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Flutter?

Lots of widgets available, promise of unified development environment that will cover many platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flutter?

New/unfamiliar SDK to learn, and another player in a large pool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flutter:

Start with a quick app, get familiar with deploying and interface to the ever-annoying Apple certs process. Don't try to go big and deploy until after mastering all the admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Can focus on programming and less on differences between platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best suited for hybrid development"

4/5

What do you like best about Flutter?

It's a widget that makes a difference with respect to other hybrid technologies, and its tech support is also top level. There are lots of Flutter communities available on the internet which are very helpful for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flutter?

One thing I feel Flutter somewhat lacks is accessing device-oriented APIs like GPS, Bluetooth, proximity sensor, etc. However, Google devs and communities are working hard on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flutter:

Yes, if you are looking for such hybrid technology in mobile application development, then Flutter is a very good option. You have to go with it, try some hands-on. Easy to set up and start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used Flutter basically to develop hybrid mobile applications for both Android and iOS. One has lots of benefits of working with Flutter, but the very important one is a single code base for two OS-based applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best application for developing hybrid applications"

One of the best platform for developing hybrid applications with wide range of widgets and large number of communities that can help a beginner a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using it for developing hybrid applications that can work both on IOS and android that too quite easily and flexibly due to its vast range of widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really, Truly Cross-Platform Compatibility"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Flutter?

Outside of a few one-time configuration items, there is NO platform-specific work required to get your app running on both Android and iOS. After the small learning curve to get up to speed on Dart and its use of Futures, the language is very familiar as a C# developer. Layout is very easy, because it's all code-based. There are a ton of available add-ons to increase functionality, and the community is VERY active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flutter?

The learning curve of Dart is a little bit of a barrier, but it's not terribly steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flutter:

Stop consider, and start using Flutter NOW! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy cross-platform development of mobile applications becomes a breeze with Flutter. I released an app to the app store and play store after working on it part-time for just about a month, and that's starting with ZERO dart/flutter experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for flutter"

5/5

What do you like best about Flutter?

I most like about this software is it's an open source project and easy to write single code based apps for android and iOS. I am currently using this software. I love the hot reload option which enables us to check how my app looks like while coding stage only and make changes accordingly.It headed in the right direction which the coders wanted.The way software works and the way it is improving is really help us keep building new apps in easy way for both the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flutter?

It works fine but there are not much examples about the software to build apps as its in beta version it may improve in the future as community develops.But as of now there are dependency’s issues whenever we are connecting with firebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flutter:

It’s an good software for beginners to start with building apps for iOS and android.No much familiar programmers can also start with coding just by reading documentation of the flutter.I would suggest to go for it as it’s free and most are implementing the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

It reduced time and cost of building apps by providing single platform to code the iOS android apps.It also helps with readymade widgets card and many such features with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works for multi platform - iOS and Android"

4.5/5
