Review on RubyMotion by Chris Chincuanco

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Incredibly quick and productive tool for developing cross-platform apps

I like how easy it is to get started with this framework. It's simple enough that you can just jump right into writing some code without having any prior experience but also powerful enough so that you don't need to worry about getting stuck or confused when things are more advanced than what you're used to. The documentation could be better at times, though - sometimes they seem to have outdated information, which makes figuring out where something has changed between versions difficult. That said, if you stick around long enough (or ask questions), someone will usually help point you towards the correct answer. If you want an extremely lightweight way of building mobile applications quickly, then using RubyMotion should definitely be considered. We've been able to build our first app in less time than we would normally expect from doing native development.

Pros
  • We're able to jump right into coding with no fuss
Cons
  • Sometimes the documentation is out of date, and the support forum at times gets quiet, so it can be difficult to get an answer to a problem when searching for help
