I like the fundamental idea of a common javascript codebase for all our front end apps. I like Angular so it's a match made in heaven.

I love Angular and therefore love that Ionic uses the Angular platform. Ionic is very intuitive for an Angular developer.

Easy to use and lots of references and easy to find on the internet.

It's a handful to install and configure, both on Android and iOS. Did not make it easier with a beta release installed of Xcode.

We have developed 2-3 application for the inhouse employees such as for Sales People, Management People for their day to day activities. Overall experience is very good.

I like the Ionic CLI which makes all configurations quick and makes it very easy to troubleshoot application issues. Cross-platform UI option that works on the same device and supports Angular.

Very suitable tool for fast apps where native mobile app capabilities are not required. This app is very poplar, has very good documentation and some good third party libraries.

Inadequate plugins although, more plugins are being added.

Great flexible development platform with a huge potential.

Itnis easy to use and the learning curve is not too steep.

Integration is a bit tricky at times, but the documentation makes it manageable. It's a very widespread option, user friendly, meets expectations.

Also the setup process for a new team member once your app is large enough gets stupidly complicated.

Feel like a native application is one of the key feature Ionic is having. Its feature to code once and deploy multiple times is very useful and saves lots of efforts in terms of money and time.

The Doumentation and pricing structure were cheap and well maintained.

The benefits are many: integration with libraries and frameworks on the market, plugins, the fact that a single project can run on multiple platforms (IOS, android, web), documentation with examples.

Took a long time to install and get all operational, but time well spent as it looks like. Hope to deliver a great app to the designers to dress up my basic app but should be a breeze.

As web app, I can develop and test fast. And it's great that you can deploy it as native mobile app.

Easy to use and build the app and the capability to deploy the app on different platforms.

Easy to use, fast to build with, would highly recommend.

With knack we have have saved an immeasurable amount of time and resource.

Limited options for customization in the dashboard.

Also, having problems with the rules and parameters disappearing randomly on forms has been a problem for my organization.

One of the best options for rapid database centric software development.

There are great custom developers that can build entirely or help out with integrations as needed.

Amazing - the software itself is really easy to use but also the customer support is great. They're happy to jump onto your app and figure out your objective and then help you resolve your issue.

Building the system was extremely frustrating at times, as fields and properties would sometimes refuse to update, or the system would just hang and not do anything.

Great online builder with a very easy learning for it. They offer get webinars that demos a lot of the You can get up and running in minutes not months once you have a plan.

The pricing model makes it an easy sell to get started.

With limited resources for programming, I learned how to run the builder myself and set the program up for my team.

Love the ability to customize with CSS and JavaScript and connect to other software through Integromat.

One more point can easily be gained by paying attention to the community, which are the fans of their business. The other point can be gained by adding better standard features and design features.

Rules to display and update screens/records. Easy to add rich functionality to an application.

The customer service team really cares and the product is actively evolving.

It is extremely helpful in tracking donations (and donors), restricted grants (and foundations/organizations who provide grants), and complex volunteer jobs for a non-profit.

Knack has been a huge help for our company. We were looking for a online database solution that we could customize for our unique business.

Super tool for developing multi-user database focused applications. Per developer pricing (as opposed to per user).

There is so much cross talk of data between those who provide it and those who need it that than an online, customizable, easy to implement data management platform is the most optimal solution.

You can quickly create software to solve your organization's needs.

The support team are responsive in the chat interface. During the two years I have been using the product there have been continuous upgrades which have been excellent.

My biggest concern is that our app has become complex enough that it will be difficult for it to be handed off to a new user in the future.
