"A fantastic framework for hybrid mobile app development."

4/5

What do you like best about Framework 7?

For more than three years, we've been using Framework7 to create hybrid mobile apps for our clients. It's a lightweight and appealing framework for creating hybrid mobile apps. Everything is covered in the documentation, which is flawless and informative. It's easy to get started for new/first-time developers, and it's often updated. Even on low-end smartphones, the built-in apps in this framework perform admirably, and they feel and function identically to native apps. The animations and transitions are smooth and rapid, with no noticeable lags. This framework also has a significant user base, which ensures that it is kept up to date.

What do you dislike about Framework 7?

The Swiper slider, which comes with this framework built-in, is challenging to set up and requires a lot of patience, and it occasionally crashes when other JavaScript plugins are used in the app. Also, even if we discover a significant flaw in the framework, the developer takes a long time to fix it.

Recommendations to others considering Framework 7:

It's simple to get started and set up. All topics are covered in detail in the documentation. The support is also fair; however, the developer takes a long time to respond to questions. Better for developers or beginners who are used to working on other frameworks that require more time to get into. The following are some of the benefits of utilizing this framework: its syntax is very similar to JQuery, establishing a mobile app using Framework 7 is not as complex as creating a website, and it can be used with other frameworks such as Angular and React. There are some drawbacks; for example, the help forums are a bit cluttered to navigate and find solutions, and the developer takes longer to address reported issues.

What problems is Framework 7 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Framework7 makes developing apps simple, and because it's a hybrid framework, it works on almost all modern devices. We use this framework to create apps for multiple platforms, saving us considerable time and effort. Updating apps is simple and fast in comparison to other hybrid frameworks. We tried a few other hybrid frameworks before settling on this one, but it's the most beneficial in reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
