RubyMotion

What do you like best?

I loved it was a ruby syntax and based on what ruby developers know. It was easy to understand, but methods and patterns were not exactly the same, but native mobile methods ruby made.

What do you dislike?

How they just stop in time, stop evolving and just lose against the competition, we stop using it.

At the beginning it was great, the competition was those ugly web-based mobile frameworks, but this was just fancy enough to get it to the market with no pain.

But eventually, other cross-platform solutions emerged and did it way better, sorry.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend RubyMotio for quick POC, it is great to build apps with no effort, simple apps, no big feature, no use of complex native radios or APIs, when you have to start creating complex bridging, and supporting more than one code base, then it just lacks its initial purpose.

If you stay to the basic, it works. But for now, try first checking other platforms.

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

We used RubyMotion to deploy superfast POCs or Sample apps to test possible solutions.

We are Ruby on Rails experts, so finding a solution that we can build mobile apps using ruby was just magical for us.
