A stable and easy-to-use product that provides seamless integration

The best thing about the product is that it provides seamless integration. I can use my Microsoft product on my iPhone, so it's good for work and personal use. I can use it across devices since it's synced up. AirDrop and iCloud are the most valuable features of the solution. The solution is easy to use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Applications developed through XCode are highly secure and stable"

"This solution is a really easy and straightforward to use for development, and provides a lot of opportunities to test applications on a simulator before being released."

"The best thing about the product is that it provides seamless integration."

"The SDK is very stable."

"I have been working on iOS and Android for more than a year now and I personally found iOS SDK to have more to offer than the Android SDK."

"The iOS SDK is well documented, and generally allows for relatively easy creation of stable applications within the iOS ecosystem."

"The apps developed using iOS SDK are known to be highly stable"

"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."

"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."

"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."

"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."

"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."

Cons

"We would like to see more development and support for the AI features of this solution."

"A Mac is required for developing. Development is strictly restricted to Mac."

"My major con for this is that it's Mac specific; if you don't own an Apple computer, you can't (legally) develop for iOS, which is incredibly small minded of Apple."

"Built on a closed source operating system, so no flexibility to modify and extend the SDK"

"We would like to see more development and support for the AI features of this solution."

"Objective C is different from C/C++ and is difficult to grasp for beginners."

"The share password menu doesn’t come up easily when I want to share passwords between my devices."

"Only mac users can develop applications and games for iphone, and for ipod touch"

"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."

"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."

"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs involved in its use."

"The hardware is quite expensive."
