"simple to use, functional. recommend for everyone except large enterprises"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codename One?

works on iphone and android, i am not learning swift. and code is simple and works, no extra setup hassle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codename One?

1. a lack of documentation. sometimes there was documentation, but didn't include everything and so i couldn't compile it. sometimes i would have to guess and i was lucky enough to guess correctly. if it's simple enough to guess, it should be simple enough to document

2. not 100% functional. sometimes i would have to write error checks. would recommend for everyone except large enterprises

3. some discrepency between ios and android. again not 100% functional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codename One:

stick to using just 1 ide, it sometimes functions differantly based on ide. also remember to keep a backup because sometimes you can't get access to the older version of codenameone and then your code stops working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codename One solving and how is that benefiting you?

was making a gps app. benefits: way faster devlivery, lots of features, easy to learn, straight forward overall but not 100% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
