"Unique experience-- mostly great!"
What do you like best about Xojo?

This is a very different software than most as it allows you to create an executable applet using simple GUI tools. It is actually quite easy to use as many of the tools are simple drag and drop stuff. It integrates well with all three major OS of Mac, Linux and Windows and actually allows to create for even older versions of the OS. The help section is marvellous actually as it is like coding documentation, so good customer support. A single button compiles and runs the file making it super easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

It is not as dumbed down as a bit of coding is sometimes necessary for customization and the jargon can seem overwhelming to beginners. The software is also not fully free but has academic licenses so convenient to test out and play around. It actually has a complex looking UI as it has so many things on a single page, but most of it is useless and is not super hard to get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

Smaller user community makes finding freelancers more difficult.

The quailty of the new API 2.0 is abysmal. It should have neverbeen relaewased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Xojo - After 20 Years Use - I'm Disappointed - Goodbye Xojo"
What do you like best about Xojo?

Nothing as of lately. The framework has grown clunky and with the advent of API 2.0, Xojo is a nightmare to use. They keep changing syntax and code to the point you must re-learn the language with each new release. After 20 years, we're leaving Xojo in the dust... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used Xojo to create an app sold worldwide with no prior object-oriented programming experience"
What do you like best about Xojo?

Xojo is a very easy to learn programming language, yet still capable of creating commercial apps for both Windows and Mac from a single set of code. C++ is like building a house from piles of 2x4's, plate glass, nails and other raw materials. Xojo is like building a house from pre-assembled frames, joists, windows, doors, etc.

I was looking for a cross platform development tool to have an app idea developed by another developer. As I looked at Xojo's examples I realized "hey, I think I could do this myself." I'd never done any object-oriented programming before. The last programming I'd done was with Apple Basic in the 1980's. Xojo used to be called Realbasic, so that made it much easier to grasp, but it has a robust set of object-oriented programming tools for developing complicated apps very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

While easy to use, the tool set for custom user interfaces is not as flexible as it would be if you created every piece of it yourself. A single set of code complies to Windows, Mac and Linux, but the user-interface is more generic and not what users might expect to see, especially on the Mac.

"It is a very modern platform and is essential for our graphics and BD servers."
What do you like best about Xojo?

I really liked Xojo because it has a very useful community forum in which users participate frequently. Even it could very well be very strong in the utility of the network and the MAC operating device, it offers a clean interface and a simple syntax. This tool also gives me the possibility to compile everything for a different structure, just as we have noticed that this program will be very strong in the coming years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

I dislike it because with Xojo I can not create Android applications, since I must use another multiplatform program. With this software we have learned how to manipulate a large amount of data that has been automated today, obtaining significantly faster than the use of the X code, with the obvious advantage that it is also compiled for other structures. The best thing is that RTF support is minimal and PDF support is non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" An excellent platform can be of great use."
What do you like best about Xojo?

Implementing and experimenting with the creation of a program from scratch using XOJO can be much faster, I know there are many programs to nest and develop compiled structures, but this tool gives you the possibility to compile everything for different structures. Creating a program with xojo is much faster than when using the common programs to which we are accustomed, becoming familiar is fast and it is best to compile for many structures. This program will be very strong in the coming years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

I have nothing negative to limit, familiarize yourself with this product, one of its main advantage is that its development is multiplatform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Observations on the Xojo"
What do you like best about Xojo?

Excellent for the rapid and accurate development of multiplatform applications which you can code and then implement to the different SOs, with this program you can intuitively edit, drag and drop the user interface in which you are developing for that moment.

One of its main advantages is that its platform is very modern and is essential for its graphics and BD servers. With this tool you can build everything you want, keep a balance with your work with this professional development software, you do not need to be a great developer to make programs, its debug mode makes programming easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

I must use other development programs because with xojo I can not create Android applications. I hope you can keep it in mind for your next release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Observations on the Xojo"
What do you like best about Xojo?

Tool for the development of applications that can help advance technological codification tests and then be implemented on desktop platforms. Create CSS controls in applications where you can establish a large number of styles provided by the editor. It is a multiplatform program; with the Xojo framework, you can create new native devices for iOS-based devices. You will find a set of libraries and great news that will provide better feedback to the structure, maintaining compatibility with existing lines and codes.

Keep in mind that when we use a tool for the first time to solve a problem, we must become familiar with it, try several tools, and design prototypes. When you find it convenient, one of them will surprise you because it will be sufficient to be final. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

Certainly, everything is not good; there are compatibility issues that may pose disadvantages for new developers when making decisions about developing new applications. For now, we must use other types of tools for development, keeping the future in mind to integrate all the projects into one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Observations on the Xojo"
What do you like best about Xojo?

A good tool for the development of applications, as such we can create instances from a web button to a visible property, it is multiplatform which you can deploy on several operating systems from the same source code, you can make modifications and adaptations depending on the complexity of the programs. You can make the mobile application you want or the company that hires your services. Simply having the knowledge you will get very far. It is a rapid development application.

Although it seems easy, has many environments which we must study to adapt to modern capabilities, it is possible that when we want to perform a procedure is manual and the compiler of the program can not help us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

Currently and in each update has improved a bit, the bad is that it is not compatible with androit. I hope they solve soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good App development platform"
What do you like best about Xojo?

Developing a software program using Xojo is considerably faster than using X code, with the simple gain that compiles for different structures. Developing a software program using Xojo is dramatically faster than using an X code, with the apparent advantage that it is compiled for other systems. Software development using Xojo is noticeably faster than using X code, with the obvious advantage of which also compiles for other structures. The development of software programs using Xojo is appreciably faster than the use of the X code, with the obvious gain that compiles for different structures, since Xojo could very well be very strong in the utility of the network and the MAC operating device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xojo?

The relative delay of the new features compared to Xcode, that means that once Apple presents new features, it takes a long time before they are covered in Xojo. The actual delay of the most recent functions compared to Xcode, that means that when Apple introduces new capabilities, it takes much longer than they are protected in Xojo.
