Pros
"Omni-channel banking is valuable."

More Appzillon Digital Platform Pros →

"Ionic's best features are its hybrid app development, design, and tags.""The solution is secure, reliable, and packed with features so we can easily implement apps even in the most complex situations.""I like that I can place the code and escalate data storage. I also like that it's user-friendly. Nothing is complex in Ionic.""The most valuable feature is the one code deployed to all solutions, which means you do not need to have multiple teams.""What I like the most about Ionic is live reloading, which enables us to develop new features without having to build the application again and re-check the functionality.""The solution can support many languages.""Because it's a hybrid mobile app framework, it is easy for us to develop iOS as well as Android apps for our customers with the same resource skills. We didn't have to have separate iOS teams and Android teams to build the apps. We still have to use the Apple Xcode for iOS, but the main development happens with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. We don't have to write separate code bases in scripts for iOS and Android. We create apps using web-based technology.""Being able to have one set of code is valuable. I don't have to recode for different platforms. I don't have to recode for Xcode, Angular, or Android. So, the biggest feature for me is that it's a hybrid system, and I can have one set of code, and then the tool sets that are in there convert my code for Xcode or Play Store. It makes work a lot easier."

Cons
"Development ease should be improved. It should be easier for developers."

More Appzillon Digital Platform Cons →

"Ionic would be improved with dynamic design features.""The documentation could be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have a little more support for the desktop environment. Currently it is still focused on mobile devices.""It would be better if it had a speed niche system. There are a lot of things we need that weren't in the latest version. But I think they will be adding something.""It would be good if the mobile version uses something other than JavaScript and HTML.""There could be better support for augmented reality and other things. Geolocation and background app activity are some of the things that are a little more clumsy at the moment and could be improved.""Ionic's UI component doesn't always look like the native mobile app.""The navigation within this solution could be improved; it is currently quite complicated to move through the different tabs."

    Overview

    Appzillon Digital Platform is an award-winning low-code application development platform designed to help enterprises transform their legacy systems into future ready digital solutions. The platform offers enterprises a cutting edge approach to building digital solutions. It provides unique capabilities that provide agility, flexibility and scalability while building any type of digital solutions.

    Ionic is an open-source UI toolkit for developing high-quality mobile and desktop apps with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Ionic focuses on the frontend UX and UI interaction of an app – UI controls, interactions, gestures, and animations. It is simple to learn and can be used without any frontend framework by utilizing a simple script inclusion.

    While previous versions of Ionic were strongly connected to Angular, version 4.x of the framework was re-engineered to serve as an independent Web Component library, with integrations for the newest JavaScript frameworks, such as Angular. Ionic works well in most frontend frameworks, including React and Vue, however some frontend frameworks require a shim to enable full Web Component support.

    The official Ionic CLI, or Command Line Interface, is a tool that enables developers to easily construct Ionic apps and offers a number of useful commands. The CLI installs and updates Ionic and also includes a built-in development server, build and debugging tools, and much more. If you are an Appflow member, you may manage your account and carry out cloud builds and deployments via the CLI.

    Ionic Features

    Ionic has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • One codebase: Ionic is the first mobile app stack that allows web developers to use a single codebase to create apps for all major app stores and the mobile web. Ionic apps look and feel natural on every device thanks to Adaptive Styling.
    • High performance: Ionic is designed to run and behave well on the latest mobile devices, using best practices such as efficient hardware accelerated transitions and touch-optimized gestures.
    • Simple, clean design: Ionic is built to function and display well across all popular mobile platforms and devices. You'll be building in style thanks to pre-made components, typography, and an attractive (but flexible) base theme that adjusts to each platform.
    • Native and web-friendly: Ionic uses native SDKs and emulates native app UI guidelines to combine native app device features and UI standards with the full flexibility and power of the open web. Ionic operates as a Progressive Web App in the browser or deploys natively via Capacitor (or Cordova).

    Ionic Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing Ionic. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Cross-platform: Create and distribute apps with a single code base. Apps run natively on iOS, Android, desktop, and the web as Progressive Web Apps. Publish once and go anywhere.
    • Based on web standards: Ionic is developed using cutting-edge web APIs like Custom Elements and Shadow DOM on top of reliable, industry-standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Ionic components have a solid API as a result, and they aren't subject to the whims of a single platform vendor.
    • Good design: Ionic is made to operate and look great right out of the box across all platforms. Start with typography, interactive paradigms, pre-designed elements, and an attractive (yet extensible) base theme.
    • Simplicity: Ionic was created with simplicity in mind, making it fun, simple to learn, and available to almost anyone with basic web development skills.
