Extremely useful converter
The quality of the conversion. No other company managed to create such a useful migrator for Swift.
CONSMaybe the pricing. And the fact that Apple did not immediately buy this and integrated into Xcode...
Reason for choosing Swiftify
It works. Produces code that 95% of the way ready. And the web interface is also nice and easy to use.
Reasons for switching to Swiftify
iSwift just did not do the job.

Too expensive for individual users.
I didn't get a good chance to use it, as the free trial only allowed conversion of very small files. The small files that were converted, had been converted fairly well. Again, if the pricing model was more fair for individuals I would have purchased a licence/subscription for myself. Consider offering an individual subscription/licence for this product. Paying per file is not a good model in 2020.
PROSThe software is probably the best objc to swift converter on the market by a long shot. However the pricing model is not very friendly for individual developers.
CONSThe sales model is not all that great. The monthly price for a subscription was extremely expensive/out of reach for individual developers. And their pay as you go model is not very scalable if you have lots of objective-c code to convert. I suggest that there should be an individual subscription/licence available for single users. Maybe $15-20 bucks a month. Or hell, even a one time licence purchase of $100-200 or so would be great.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your thorough feedback and suggestions! We are still figuring out the best pricing model for the service, so I value your suggestions here.

Code is unusable
This product did not save me anytime. I had to rewrite the code from scratch.
PROSIt has an interesting concept and I thought I was going to save time. However the software is an EPIC fail. It maybe good for academics who are converting a small 15 line app from ObjC to Swift.
CONSThe software produced tons of dead code. Functions that aren't reachable, the comments dont exist. It was very frustrating to use. I had to rewrite it from scratch.
Vendor Response
I appreciate your feedback. While it is nearly impossible to automate the conversion from Objective-C to Swift by 100%, our tool was still designed to save your time. We do realize that manual changes after the conversion are always required: https://support.swiftify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000110132 In some cases, even a small but unsupported Objective-C construct may ruin the entire converter output. You are advised to report such issues on our GitHub Issue Tracker at https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify See more on this here: https://support.swiftify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021028092 I am sorry that the tool was not helpful to you at all, but still feel free to send me a sample that does not produce good enough results so that we could review and improve our product.

Regular occasional user
I am generally transforming single functions or classes from a legacy project or code snippets from Stack Overflow into current Swift.
PROSTransforming this Obj-C code to Swift is both educational and time saving. I will either use the converted code pretty much as is, or use it to lean how to do something before starting new code.
CONS1. The resulting translation is sometimes very Objective-C like and not the best Swift-first implementation. That's to be expected. 2. The free conversion via the website is very restrictive in terms of character count. This can normally be overcome by breaking a function into fragments and converting them one at a time.

Review Objc2Swift
As it's an easy to use software there's not much to be said except that the convert function is really simple really great to use, it "just works" it's almost as if magic, I just have to C/P my code and we're good to go
CONSThe limit is really low, I think that's the biggest downside, it takes time to convert a big code because I have to past it chunk by chunk, increasing the limit even by some ko would be perfect

My first go-to when it comes to converting objective-c
As one who started to develop using swift it is amazing to have a tool that converts old solutions to code I can read and also use
PROSThe ease. No need to log in if you just have a few lines of code that needs to be converted. But live that it can also take full files.
CONSSometimes there is bugs when converting, but I as a user can usually convert anyway if I chop large code pieces to smaller chunks

Simply the best objective c to swift converter
Easy to setup and very simple to use on xcode.
CONSSome of the objective c conversions do not correspond to the best option in the latest versiones of swift.
Vendor Response
I really appreciate your feedback. Regarding your report that some conversions do not correspond to the best option in the latest versions of Swift. While we are working hard on generating the best possible output, it will be probably never possible for the automated converter to produce an idiomatic Swift code, which still requires a human being ;) Anyway, we are working hard improvements such as generating "guard let" statements whenever possible. You may post any distinct suggestions for review here: https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify

Objective-C to Swift Converter
I loved this software. It was super easy to use and master.
CONSIt could be faster and more user friendly. Some aspects were confusing
Vendor Response
Thanks, Ryan for your awesome feedback! Could you please elaborate what (in your opinion) could make the product more user friendly? Which of the components (web based converter, Xcode Extension, Advanced Project Converter) were you using most? Regarding the conversion speed, I'd be glad to hear what is your country / location and in which cases you find yourself waiting for too long. P.S. Our Offline Converter will likely solve any performance / speed issues on your side. Let me know if you are interested in it.

Very solid and reliable swift conversion.
Overall, this tool has be incredibly valuable in helping me learn swift.
PROSSuper easy to convert a lot of my older ObjC code to swift. Also, has done a great job keeping up with the latest version of swift.
CONSSuggestion: don't autofill the left ObjC panel with sample code. It would be quicker to start with a blank panel to paste in my code.
Vendor Response
Hi James, Thanks for your awesome review and suggestions! One of the reasons we've been filling the left pane with the sample code is to demonstrate how one can join contents of interface and implementation file(s) into the Swift output. While you are encouraged to use the Xcode Extension (which is just more convenient, and won't fill in any sample code), I'll think about changing the left pane to a very minimum, or just blank code!

Best way to convert the code from Obj C to Swift
Overall I recommend this to everyone who wants to try their hands on iOS/ Mac development. Its a basic tool for all developers working for apple development.
PROSThe best part of this software is that its convert the code in fraction of seconds, sometimes the codes do face some error because swift keeps upgrading and so is this software. The pros are as follow : It makes switching of code easy. Almost 98% of time it does convert the code well Its available on both web as well as Xcode extension.
CONSCons : Not all code are convertible , for eg : Alamofire is a pod developed by a third person and if you use this code in swift and try to convert into Obj C it will either show the same code or may not change. (Still it just happen only 2% of time and I am sure that its developer will get this solved soon)

This product is a life saver

PROSEase of use. IT ALWAYS WORKS. Covers 98% of my code. Web interface is a must to have. Its always available, which is most important.
CONSAlmost no Cons. It misses at most 2% of the changes. 98% of the code is converted without issue.
Reason for choosing Swiftify
It works better than other products out there. It converts almost all of my old code.

Teaches you Swift
I almost bought a subscription a couple times, but did not because, so far, I've not had a substantial project to convert, so I'm able to skate by with the free version. But if I ever do have such a substantial project to convert, I would buy a subscription.
PROSIt works well, for what it does, and the publisher keeps it updated, so that, while reviewing its results, I always learn a few new things about the latest version of Swift :)
CONSIt's not quite as smart as a human Swift pro. The last time I used it, a few months ago, I saw that in some places it would employ a bunch of unwraps in a block of code instead of enclosing the whole block in a guard/let. But that's understandable, and after you see it a couple times you know what to look for

Swiftify
Saves tons of time in converting to Swift. I used to have a policy of writing new code in Swift, but maintaining existing code in objective C, which meant a slower migration. Now I'm willing to convert old code, because it's not such a big time investment.
CONSIt has some quirks about how it handles certain scenarios. Also the finder interface just stopped working, and can't find much online troubleshooting help.
Vendor Response
Thanks, Tim for your valuable feedback! I am more than willing to hear you suggestions about quirks that you have mentioned. Either reach to me personally at alex(at)swiftify.com or report any issue(s) at our GitHub Issue Tracker: https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify Regarding the Finder Extension, initial suggestions are: 1) Look for the "Swiftify" menu both on the top level of file or folder context menu, or under "Services". 2) If this cannot be found anywhere, a clean reinstall of the app from the macOS App Store usually helps in such cases, because this is the way to re-index extensions. Hope this helps. I'd appreciate a quick follow-up if my suggestions resolve your issue.

Great for converting older projects
We converted several parts of an older code base to integrate it into a rewrite of the basic project. This was easier with Swift Converter since it saved us from having to rewrite big parts of our code.
PROSGreat trial features allow you to convert single classes quite easily
CONSConverting single classes sometimes gives you very weird looking code that needs optimisations before it looks like proper Swift. Still better than having to rewrite everything.

Vendor Response
Thanks for your incredible review! While a 100% correct conversion nearly impossible to automate, we aim to save your time and efforts. Since we have already invested more than 4 man-years of work in the converter, the reverse converter may be a huge project that would not pay for itself. Xcode allows you to see Objective-C declarations generated in a mixed Objective-C + Swift project anyway. Regarding implementing functions from Pods, could you please elaborate by replying to this email?
