Kivy Reviews & Product Details

The Community support of kivy is awesome and the ease and fun with which we can create various applications attracts me a lot. I learned a lot how easy it is to develop an app using kivy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to finally get an apk for your Android using windows. There should be some easy features for windows users too. As every begineer doesn't use linux system. Rest of the things I found fine in my view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't remember anything I liked about Kivy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of dynamic support; the inability to debug the code using standard Python debuggers; the attitude/unhelpfulness of the experts in the community. (Again, it's been 5 yrs since I used Kivy, so these things might have changed; additionally, I was tasked w/ doing things with Kivy, by someone who didn't really appreciate its limitations, that it wasn't really designed to do, and I think perhaps the unhelpful experts didn't want to tell me that outright, but also didn't like that the issues I was having were exposing design limitations.)

I liked the easiness of the language used in it and also the interface which can be developed by using kivy is much good looking than tkinter library. It seems to be like languages like css which makes keywords more rememberable. Also it liked it to be a platform independent app as my friend uses kivy on his windows system and I use to work on Mac and we didn't feel much difference. I liked kivy for being adjustable as automatically manages its size according to available window it gets and also resizes its text which kind of amazes me. There are many libraries but kivy in a short span of time becomes one of mt favourite library to use with python programming language by its simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

According to me it should use less processing power. Apart from that its all good . Also installation can be made easy (not necessarily) but everything needs improvement or can be improved. I disliked the the fact it sometimes during my execution of code it crashed which can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the shorter syntaxes and readable code of kivy as anyone can understand them easily and lots of tools are there and community support is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it is very difficult to package the application to apk and ios because they crash too many times. The look of kivy applications looks very old style. Kivy MD is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kivy being an GUI library also has a sister project, Plyer. The one which I contributed to and the best part of that project is that it is build on top of buildozer (another sister project) which provides it the cross platform functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
