Provider Description

LiveCode brings three key things to your development process: the interface, the language and live coding. You start with the interface. Get going by opening a new project and dragging items onto it. A button, a field, a scrollbar, whatever your app needs. Play about with them a bit. Resize, rearrange, change the color, add some pretty drop shadows. Make it look funky and just the way you want it.

"Excellent application for creating apps"

4/5

What do you like best about Livecode?

Simple interface for the user, development of fast and efficient code, besides that allows to design our application in a fast way and something similar to the structure of models offered by languages like java or c #. It's fast at performance level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Livecode?

The application is a bit limiting at the time of wanting to define functionalities for the modules that we want to develop. In addition, it has strong competition for those who know how to develop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What an idea! "

3.5/5

What do you like best about Livecode?

It is amazing how nobody has ever thought about creating a platform that can use pieces of code on multiple platforms. As a developer, this has saved me tremendous amount of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Livecode?

The user interface of the platform can be better. If the interface can be cleaned up a bit and allow users to explore the platform with ease, then it will improve the platform's productivity by a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Livecode:

The platform is not perfect but it can save you a lot of time as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem that I am trying to solve is development of complex apps without starting everything from scratch for different platforms such as Android and iOS. LiveCode has solved this problem for me and allowed me to create apps for multiple platforms without doing repetitive work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LiveCode is the BEST!"

What i dislike is that the code can be much better, being detailed you can notice that it is a little archaic. Other than that small detail, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
