"Best native structure for mobile development"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

The easy access to the native API opens new horizons for writing modules. Open Source The cross-platform UI abstractions are great and I really enjoyed everything. When we build the app's UI, developers use our libraries, which abstract the differences between native platforms. Platform naming for platform-specific files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

G It's difficult to start. The tooling can be better, but it is constantly improving. React Native has some amazing apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A specialist for each platform will be enough for the development cost to decrease - and that is really impressive for the whole business. This is a huge benefit for businesses because we don't need many developers for each platform. With JavaScript on the backend and frontend now with NativeScript, it's really simpler to reuse a lot of code even on mobile clients. I can quickly create a prototype and an application for the client to iterate and get an app working exactly as the client wants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome product!"

5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

I love how easy it is to get up and start creating native apps. The fact you can use angular is a huge bonus too. I think this product will be around for a lot time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

To start using it can be a little hard, if you are using angular and not come from a web background, but that’s more on the language than native script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NativeScript:

Do an bunch of tutorials before deciding, also make sure what you are trying to do has plugins or you are willing to create, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating web, android and iOS apps with a single code base. Having the whole team able to work with on code base increases productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy app development"

5/5

"Is Aewsome"

4/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

NativeScript enables developers to build native apps for iOS and Android while sharing the application code across the platforms. When building the application UI, developers use our libraries, which abstract the differences between the native platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NativeScript: Fast native cross platform apps quickly"

5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

Out of the next generation cross platform platforms, NativeScript is unique in that it fully allows you access to the entire Native platform. So you have access to the full development libraries as if you were developing a native iOS or a native Android app from inside your code directly. If also has a cross platform Declarative UI which allows you to make your UI once and use it easily on all platforms supported.

You can easily design a cross platform application in way less time than you would if you were attempting to create two separate apps using ObjC/Switft and Android Java. This allows you to have one code base and quickly build out an application meeting the business requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

At the current point in time, multi-threading can be a problem. Some things are by design already multi-threading. But somethings won't be multi threaded until later in the year (2016).

Tooling could be better, but it has been steadily improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NativeScript:

You do need to learn some command line tools right now if you want full control. But they are very simple to use and you will be much happier using everything on your own box rather than the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Building a cross platform applications for clients. I can quickly prototype and app for the client, then rapidly iterate and get a app working exactly like the customer wants. Then from their I can make minor changes (if any) to make it work properly on all the platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Product architect and developer for webapps and thin mobile clients"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

I love that I can use my "natural language" even in mobile development part of the day. Javascript and now even TypeScript is for me the most natural and fastest way to develop applications. I can even reuse some of my code, that I use on my server backend/frontend. Speed of development is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

Sometimes is hard to find how to use something from e.g. android API if it's not implemented already in some module. But it's kind of easy to find proper documentation and just rewrite whole thing into javascript, so in most cases there is not much that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NativeScript:

If your business is building complex applications (mostly web based) with thin mobile client it's the right choice for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a application architect and developer I'm trying to simplify development process by unifying technologies that are used across different parts of application. With javascript on backend and frontend is now with nativescript really more straightforward to reuse lots of code even on mobile client. That's huge benefit for business because we don't need many developers for each platform. One specialist for each platform is going to be enough so cost of development are decreasing - and that's truly awesome for whole business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's finally easy to access native API from JavaScript and build beautiful apps"

5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

Whole framework is based on JavaScript family of tools and distributed via now standard NodeJS package management, which makes it easy to manger, distribute and discover modules. Easy access to native API opens up new horizons for writing modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

The only thing that bothers me at the moment is the lack of a centralised resource for listing available modules and tracking updates. Hunting for modules on Github is the only source of them at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, just not ready yet."

3.5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

The ability to use any core API directly. Also the absence of web view makes things better performance wise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

It's difficult to get started. The core APIs do not cover a lot of ground. Also, the speed with which new functionality is being added to the core APIs is rather slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NativeScript:

It's great to give it a try, but you will find things missing in most cases in order to build a complete application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We build mobile apps for our clients with a focus on faster time to market. It is of utmost importance to us to be able to use standard web technologies to get this done with as much performance as possible. NativeScript brings us (at least promises so) to that goal.

"Great platform to build native applications using JavaScript or TypeScript"

5/5

What do you like best about NativeScript?

You get the speed of a native application but you develop it using JavaScript (or even better, TypeScript). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NativeScript?

NativeScript is still quite new and sometimes lacks a bit of documentation which makes the learning curve a bit painful, but the community is growing fast and contributing a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
