Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

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

"Uses standard Java, with low rewrite requirement for existing applications."

"To the best of my knowledge CN1 is better than some of the available mobile app development frameworks such as Xamarin and Nativescript because it gives almost 100% -- if not 100% -- write once run anywhere."

"A few things that stand out to me are a well-documented and pretty extensive API, build server, access to native functionality via native interface, easy extension with third-party libraries, active developer support, and attractive pricing."

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

"Core Java features are not fully supported (introspection, serialization) and many standard functionalities (windows, events) are implemented in an idiosyncratic way, not standard Java."

"Windows Phone port. However, that is actively being improved and should be released later this year if all goes well."

"Testing through a CLI simulator is free but difficult to setup."

Axway

Codename One is a way of creating native mobile applications for Android, iOS, BlackBerry and Windows Phone, using the same Java source code. Android native apps use Java, but iOS, BlackBerry and Windows Phone do not. Codename One makes translations of your Java code into the native code for each of these platforms, sometimes resulting in faster apps than the native versions. Codename One is open source for both commercial and non-commercial usage.
