Great product, very good for quickly making smaller apps or prototypes

If you need to develop a fast prototype or a smaller app - I would try doing it with Shoutem.

Pros

You can drag&drop components and build your app very quickly - and it runs on Android, iOS and as a HTML5 web app. Many things that come out-of-the-box, like location-based services, push notifications, and multiple content integration options a real time-savers.

Cons

It takes a bit of time to get used to their UI, and I don't like that their pricing doesn't have an iOS only option (the have Androind only option).

A Drag and Drop Mobile App Builder Great for Basic Apps to Go

When I have a client that needs more than just a site to mobile conversion, but not a full mobile app build, this is a great solution for creating something professional to present to their digital community. If the price isn't an issue, I highly recommend for simple apps.

Pros

Ease of use. No coding skills required. Just jump in and do it (with a bit of basic planning) you could have a mobile app up and running in a few days.

Great for a Starting App

Pros

It was great to get my company going as it's affordable and easy to use. I loved that it had location info and message boards for my users to access. The simple design was great for me as an early designer.

Cons

Wished there was more options with the design. Limited to what you could do. Their team didn't always get updates out that they said they would in a timely fashion.

Not easy

Pros

The only good thing about the system is that they upload your app to Google and Apple stores for you. You save money and time

Cons

Many things. The first the system is not friendly at all. The customer service is really bad. Everything is based on emails and you have to have a lot of patience to be answered. Currently, they have two versions and both are complicated. I do not recommend it unless you have a very good team of designers and programmers who support you

Alternative tool for cross platform application development

Pros

- Good for quick prototyping and MVP product - Its great useful when the user wants to create multiple platform apps in very quick time

Cons

- The pricing is too complex and you need to opt for the highest plan to build for all types of devices - Features need to be improved

Built some Basic Apps - But not as extensible as I required

Pros

Shoutem allowed me to build some very basic white-labelled apps for my clients. I didn't need to know a lot of code and it was easy to mockup designs.

Cons

The monthly subscription model was not profitable for me as my clients were not keen on a subscriber model for their custom apps
