"A fantastic framework for hybrid mobile app development."

4/5

What do you like best about Framework 7?

For more than three years, we've been using Framework7 to create hybrid mobile apps for our clients. It's a lightweight and appealing framework for creating hybrid mobile apps. Everything is covered in the documentation, which is flawless and informative. It's easy to get started for new/first-time developers, and it's often updated. Even on low-end smartphones, the built-in apps in this framework perform admirably, and they feel and function identically to native apps. The animations and transitions are smooth and rapid, with no noticeable lags. This framework also has a significant user base, which ensures that it is kept up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Framework 7?

The Swiper slider, which comes with this framework built-in, is challenging to set up and requires a lot of patience, and it occasionally crashes when other JavaScript plugins are used in the app. Also, even if we discover a significant flaw in the framework, the developer takes a long time to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Framework 7:

It's simple to get started and set up. All topics are covered in detail in the documentation. The support is also fair; however, the developer takes a long time to respond to questions. Better for developers or beginners who are used to working on other frameworks that require more time to get into. The following are some of the benefits of utilizing this framework: its syntax is very similar to JQuery, establishing a mobile app using Framework 7 is not as complex as creating a website, and it can be used with other frameworks such as Angular and React. There are some drawbacks; for example, the help forums are a bit cluttered to navigate and find solutions, and the developer takes longer to address reported issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Framework 7 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Framework7 makes developing apps simple, and because it's a hybrid framework, it works on almost all modern devices. We use this framework to create apps for multiple platforms, saving us considerable time and effort. Updating apps is simple and fast in comparison to other hybrid frameworks. We tried a few other hybrid frameworks before settling on this one, but it's the most beneficial in reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Integrate, Clear Instructions, Super Convenience"

5/5

What do you like best about Framework 7?

It's Free!! Framework 7 provides almost all basic and extra Mobile UI to easily implement on your projects. It also provides some cool controls such as infinite scroll, Lazy Loading, Pull to refresh, Swiper Slider, etc. It is best for developing a PWA (Progressive Web App). It can also integrate with Cordova to build a mobile application by using the HTML, CSS & JS language instead of Android language (Java/Kotlin/XML). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Framework 7?

In the new version of Framework 7 (v6.0), some functions such as Infinite Loop are different from the previous version and it didn't provide clear instructions on how to implement it. Framework 7 online community support can be improved, not all issues will be solved by them. Framework 7 only supports UI for iOS and Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Framework 7:

Recommend to developers who are not proficient in advanced programming languages, as Framework 7 focuses on building applications using HTML/CSS & JavaScript. And the most important thing is, it is 100% free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Framework 7 solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves a lot of time when building a mobile application using Framework 7. Developers don't need to learn new programming languages such as Java/Kotlin/XML (Android IDE), just using basic web programming languages like HTML/CSS & JavaScript. This framework allows developers to build multiple platforms of applications like PWA (progressive web application), Android application, iOS application, and Windows application. It performs well like native applications on almost newer devices and delivers really nice UI designs with high-quality material designs and user experience. Besides pure JavaScript language, it also supports many platforms like React JS & Vue JS. When packaging or building the application APK file, it is 10 times faster than other frameworks.

""Framework 7" Lots of ready-to-use ui elements, easy to customize"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Framework 7?

I worked with Framework 7 when I was getting my first industry experience as a Software Engineer. So being a new user of the framework with less experience with javascript I was able to get used to the framework very quickly. So what I love most about Framework 7 is its ability to quickly create iOS and Android apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with fast and easy learning.

Framework 7 is a well designed free and opensource hybrid mobile app development framework. It can be used with different structures such as, React, Angular, and so forth. Framework 7 provides a large variety of ready to use UI elements that are easy to customize and integrate with your projects. It has a quick set up time due to the amazing and solid documentation with a lot of work samples provided. One thing more important about Framework 7 is its support for React. With React support Framework 7 competes with more popular other frameworks. Also, it provides the best performance and really good quality material designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Framework 7?

What I dislike about Framework 7 is it only supports platforms such as ios and android. Framework 7 online community support was at a comparatively low level. If you are not much good at programming on javascript, HTML, and CSS working with Framework 7 will be a bit challenging but if you follow the documentation properly you can get through this challenge successfully. As Framework7 is mostly built around Apple some times there are chances to face rendering issues on android. Also if you check online forums contribution and discussion threads regarding Framework7 related issues and solutions is a bit low compared to other native platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Framework 7 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I worked with Framework 7 to implement a hybrid mobile application which is to be delivered to the agriculture ministry. This was developed with technologies such as Cordova and Framework7. This application facilitates users and farmers to upload geo locations, view reports, view alerts, and notifications, request for fertilizers and other necessities, etc. The mobile app was the main data entry point. Basic data filtering and rectifying is done by the algorithms running in the mobile app and sends the data to the cloud using an API. Also, I was able to integrate Cutting-edge GUI technologies to represent interactive maps and graphs. Framework 7 based hybrid mobile app was delivered for the respective audience with really nice UI designs with high-quality material designs and user experience.
