"jQuery Mobile Is Much Less Useful These Days"

2.5/5

What do you like best about jQuery Mobile?

jQuery Mobile does a really great job with browser support. The project really is the go-to place if you need to normalize development for a wide variety of mobile browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about jQuery Mobile?

With React and Angular and other single-page application frameworks allowing much more declarative styles, much of jQuery UIs page structure and widgets feel old and clunky. It is much harder to develop a robust mobile app in jQuery Mobile than the alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering jQuery Mobile:

jQuery Mobile is amazong, but it's looking long in the tooth. If you are doing something non-trivial, use React or Angular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is jQuery Mobile solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I can't rely on users to have modern browsers or I need to support a wide variety of devices, I often use jQuery Mobile to prototype. That is a pretty efficient process. I don't use it that much for actual development anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Building an hybrid Mobile Mortgage Calculator"

3.5/5

What do you like best about jQuery Mobile?

It's ready to go!

If you have any experience with javascript or jquery, jquery mobile will come natural to you. It's a full package of all the necessary touch gestures, handlers and behaviours you need to build any app. Learning curve it's almost non existent if you have an average javascript background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about jQuery Mobile?

It's really heavy, sometimes bloated with unnecessary options, and not really optimized for the platform was built for. Mobile devices have really limited computing and memory available, and jQuery mobile uses those resources quiet heavily, especially during page transitions and push call.

Laggy animations and jumpy keyframes are almost inevitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering jQuery Mobile:

There are plenty of lighter and powerful alternatives, but jQuery Mobile is packaged with everything you need. I would recommend to use it as a fast prototyping tool, if you don't really care much about performances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is jQuery Mobile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building a consistent UI for multiple Mobile platforms The theming system of jQuery Mobile helped me a lot to maintain that consistency and keep the user comfortable in a familiar environment, independently from the device he was using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"jQuery Mobile is a powerful tool but I feel that it still needs some improvement."

2.5/5

What do you like best about jQuery Mobile?

- Easy adaptability with jQuery and Javascript

- Things made sense given some time and after that, it became second nature to me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about jQuery Mobile?

- When I first worked with jQuery Mobile it took me some time to familiarize myself with the mobile-first approach.

- When it comes to larger databases, it was tough for it to load fast, but that is also can be said with jQuery as well. When you are given so much power and you don't know how to use your code efficiently, then things like this can come up. Thankfully over the years I know what to watch out for but for someone new it may be a difficult thing for them to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is jQuery Mobile solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly work on my own personal apps from time to time and also some client websites. However to be honest, I don't use jQuery Mobile too much anymore since I felt that jQuery itself is good enough. I do like the theme that jQuery Mobile comes with when I first explored it, but now I am so used to customizing my own themes and styling my own containers I don't widely use it anymore. I am just afraid that too much jQuery plugins loaded into my website may slow it down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to learn, easy to use."

4/5

What do you like best about jQuery Mobile?

Lots of demos for me to learn, in a simple WYSIWYG way. I can change little codes to create a prototype of my project. Furthermore, when I meet a problem difficult to solve, I will ask some community like stackoverflow.com for help, and it's not possible to find the answer in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about jQuery Mobile?

Nothing serious. Maybe it is a little hard to upgrade the framework from a major version to another, especially some widgets like Panels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
