## NativeScript Reviews
  ### 1. Great Potential

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 29, 2016

**What do you like best about NativeScript?**

Native UX and UI components, the performance (native). Open Source

The cross-platform UI abstractions are great and I really liked the whole .platform naming for files specific to a platform.

**What do you dislike about NativeScript?**

Lack of examples, few plugins, lack of a clearer documentation, slow for development (constant reload of the app), small community.

**Recommendations to others considering NativeScript:**

If you need something production ready I wouldn't recommend native script. But if you're willing to learn something new and check out some really interesting stuff, Native Script is for you.

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

Develop an app. Code once, run anywhere

  ### 2. Looking forward to the better showcases

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thee M. | Project Management Officer, Computer & Network Security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2016

**What do you like best about NativeScript?**

Concept of writing once run any platform.

**What do you dislike about NativeScript?**

No WOW showcase. React native have some awesome app e.g. Myntra which looks professional and working across platforms.

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

I want to write an app that is easy to maintain.
