Ionic

Unlike other hybrid platforms, it comes with many complementary tools, like Ionic View and Ionic Publish, with more libraries, and it’s optimized for Angular.js, one of our key areas of expertise and a framework with a solid future.

Testing tools like the cloud-based Ionic View allow us to keep our clients up to date with the development process, to show them how the app will work and look like before the live version, and to easily upload our products on Android and iOS markets.

A great example is the mobile version of a web-based app that enables users to find the location of boats that are moored in USA, Canada or Australia berths. We developed an app that comes with multi-variable search options, delivers lists of boats and owners, allows users to select individual search results and view details like the boat owner and their contact details, as well as email or message the owner directly from the application, view the boat’s location on Google Maps, or view all boats around the user’s location at any given moment.

Using Ionic for this solution enabled us to build 2 applications (for Android and iOS) in the timeframe that would have been necessary for one, since we’ve used the same code for both. Not only is it faster to develop this way, but the apps are easier to maintain and benefit from Ionic’s real-time support, growing volume of online resources and rapid updates to keep up with new versions of related technologies, such as Angular 2.0.
