Gerardo B.

Advanced user of Basic4android (B4A)

B4A is a simple and open source platform for the development of Android and iOS apps

What do you like best?

I like B4A because it has support for external libraries, so it is possible to reuse Java code.

It is open source software.

It has a wide community of users, so there is a lot of interesting documentation for the development of different apps.

In addition, Visual Basic and B4A are very similar programming languages, so the learning curve was very short since I am very fluent in that language.

What do you dislike?

I find it unfortunate that it allows you to develop apps for Android and iOS, but you can only install the software on Windows.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you master Visual Basic, you will find that B4A is the same. This IDE is easy to use and install. In addition, it has extensive documentation. I recommend it.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

With B4A I have been able to create apps to test integrations in my organization quickly. The best thing is that I can use external libraries to reuse code from other apps.
