disclaimer: sound advertisement, have i'm in no way affiliated ionic, happen i'm sharing love it.

ionic more “just” ui framework. ionic allows to:

  • have only 1 single codebase , deploy ios, android, , windows, along mobile web progressive web app
  • generate icons , splash screens devices , device sizes single command: ionic cordova resources. alone saves @ least day of image preparing various sizes.
  • instantly update apps code changes, when running directly on device ionic cordova run --livereload
  • build , test ios , android versions side-by-side , see changes instantly ionic lab
  • share ionic apps clients, customers, , testers around world without ever going through app store ionic upload
  • easily access full native functionality of device using ionic native
  • also, drifty (the team behind ionic framework) building full-stack backend services , tools ionic app live updating (for deploying new version without going through apple review process! - this huge!), push notifications, cloud packaging, ionic creator etc.
  • ionic cli (command line interface) uses cordova in backend , allows build (directly using ionic cli) apps ios , android (just doing ionic cordova build ios or ionic cordova build android).
  • ionic uses angular frontend framework if you’re familiar it, come bonus. yes, newest version of ionic (currently 3) uses newest , coolest angular (currently 4) (which total rewrite angular 1 version)
  • all in all, think ionic framework has bright future, if nothing else – give try bet you’ll ease of making app it.

  • build , test ios , android versions side-by-side , see changes instantly ionic serve --lab
  • share ionic apps clients, customers, , testers around world without ever going through app store ionic share
  • easily accessing full native functionality of device using ngcordova (here use cordova plugin - ionic indeed more cordova per se)

also, they're building full-stack backend services , tools ionic app deploy (for deploying new version without going through apple review process!), analytics, push notifications.

ionic cli (command line interface) uses cordova in backend , allows build (directly using ionic cli) apps ios , android (you doing ionic build ios or ionic build android , woila).

ionic uses angular frontend framework if you're familiar it come bonus. they're working closely angular 2.0 team too.

all in all, think ionic has bright future, if nothing else - give try bet you'll ease of making app it.
