"Building mobile apps the cordova way"
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

Simple to follow steps to create Android apps with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It allows developers to build mobile applications using web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) that can be deployed on multiple platforms, such as iOS, Android, and Windows, saving time and effort by leveraging a single codebase. Cordova provides a bridge between web technologies and native device capabilities, allowing developers to access a wide range of native features like camera, accelerometer, contacts, file system, and more, using standardized JavaScript APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

Cordova apps are essentially web applications wrapped in a native container, which can lead to performance issues compared to fully native apps. The performance can be affected by factors such as UI responsiveness, animation smoothness, and access to hardware resources. However, this gap has been closing with advancements in hybrid app frameworks and device capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used Apache Cordova to build a wedding event mobile application."
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

We can run the code once and run it everywhere. Multiple platforms can be supported. Debugging capabilities are better than other cross-platform developing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

There is a risk when developing with third-party native plugins because it can be outdated or have limited support. It was a challenge to install requirements to start development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An embryonic framework to develop prepossessing hybrid mobile apps."
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

You can call me a fan of the platform and the fact that we can leverage the framework without acquiring any new technologies and instead rely on the tried-and-true html, css, and js, with the potential to create completely non-traditional designs. The other major benefit of using Apache Cordova is that the majority of the code can be reused across different platforms for which the app is developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

I like the flexibility of the platform, but the only problem I noticed is the apps made with it - if not optimized to their best, have sluggish performance sometimes. We can be overcome this by just investing more time into optimizing the app. Overall, I'd suggest it for modest to medium-sized projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An easy choice to develop a Mobile Application"
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

There is a lot of functions to develop a mobile application. You can develop with HTML5, Javascript and CSS easily. You can control a lot of sensors of your mobile app easily and quickly. Also, you can export your app for Android or for IOS version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

The java mobile application can run faster than the apache cordova application. If you want to have a beautiful GUI environment you can use a framework like a Framework 7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cordova , is one of the best"
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

it's super easy to learn, very simple, if you are a front-end developer, it would take you 1 - 2 weeks to get the base of how to do an application with it. it's based on javascript, HTML. it has a very large community with awesome documentation . also from 1 code, you can export to multiplatform ( IOS, Android ). I would recommend that for small to mid applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

it's cross-platform, it doesn't export your app to native code. it would be slower than what the native has.

for certain scenarios, you may still need to get support from some native library to get your work done, that's why I would recommend it only for small to mid projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice tool for having 1 code base and native apps"
What do you like best about Apache Cordova?

I like that it allows you to have 1 code baes and use that same code base to make native apps and web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Cordova?

Some things take a lot of troubleshooting to make them work. Perfformance is not as good as a native app because it uses a webview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
