Ionic: An OutSystems Company Reviews & Product Details

The first and foremost reason I enjoy using Ionic is the ease of use, consistent UI, and tremendously helpful documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is quite a large dependency on Third-party packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ionic AppFlow gives us a way to apply updates to our users quickly and automatically. It is very dependable at doing this. We've never had issues applying an update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have many apps, it can be hard to find them in the ionic dashboard. They aren't listed alphabetically, and there's no search function. This isn't a huge deal though, but it does seem to be a day-zero feature in many other apps, so I'm surprised it hasn't been implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to work with different flavors of web frameworks, my favorite is React and Vue. The support to native platforms using the new Capacitor, which makes it much easier to write for iOS and Android (and even Web/Desktop). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That Enterprise modules for capacitor and Ionic are not available in a transparent way, I personally tried to ask about the enterprise modules and got no answer twice! I understand there is a strategy behind this to make such modules available for big players but I don't like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Html, Css, simple to use for mobile coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ionic doesn't have enough components to help users code quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use the tech stack we already know and love is what is so appealing about Ionic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed at which changes occur is sometimes a bit hard to keep up with, but so is the nature of most modern coding today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to reuse Vue components from our existing web app and reuse them effectively in-app. Having AppFlow has also benefited our CI/CD Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found a good way to automate the incrementing of version and build numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ionic allows you to develop a single application and run it natively on both Android and iOS. The platform comes with UI Components that make it easy to create native applications using web technologies. The platform is easy to use and has a large community that is eager to help if you get stuck Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deploying the application has too many steps and requires prior knowledge of XCode and Android Studio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use Angular and Cordova components built into the itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sorry, I like everything. But the performance of the apps can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a quick learning curve for existing web developers. The ability to write code once and then deploy as PWA, iOS, and Android App is great! Also, using Ionic App Flow for Web Channel deploys for app updates without performing native builds and App Store submissions saves time and simplifies rollout.

With any hybrid solution, there are more dependencies to manage and more parties that can introduce breaking changes. For our use cases, this was an acceptable risk for the reward of developing so much quicker. Performance should also be considered. Ionic apps run in a web view, and this is entirely acceptable for most apps. However, some apps may require the most optimal bare-metal performance, and in this case, a native app would be more appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most crucial thing about Ionic is its adaptability to different platforms by using Js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the configuration of platforms or plugins can be stressful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
