Considered Both Products
Apache Cordova
Chose Apache Cordova
We selected Cordova since it provides ease of doing business and ease of use. The best thing about Cordova is that you can code once and run it on multiple platforms. Cordova provides add-ons that connect your code with native features of various mobile platforms. And you do …
Chose Apache Cordova
PhoneGap is another viable option but lacks the amount of support Apache Cordova receives rendering it worthless.
Chose Apache Cordova
Apache Cordova is the mother of all other frameworks. The Ionic developed framework is well suited for development but most of their features are offered by paid services.

As Apache Cordova is open source and has a license to modify it, it has no legal problems to work with it. …
Chose Apache Cordova
We have not found competitors to Adobe Phone Gap that allows us to be able to code and transfer into alternative languages. The only alternative is to write in the languages required by apple and google in order to launch our apps on their devices and in their app stores. Using …
Chose Apache Cordova
I have worked on Appcelerator Titanium and also on Apache Cordova and I find Cordova is a much stable, easy, performant and cost effective solution to developing hybrid mobile apps. I will go with Apache Cordova over Appcelerator Titanium any day.

Chose WompMobile
We had interviewed a few other vendors who offered similar services. When it comes to integrating anything with an E-commerce platform there is always potential for major problems. When we asked each of the vendors the simple question of "Can you explain how your service works …
Chose WompMobile
We reached out to a number of different mobile site providers. Some responded, some didn't. WompMobile's CEO called me directly 5 minutes after I left a voicemail.

I viewed the other mobile site builders efforts as fairly generic looking and even in the selling pitch stage it …
Chose WompMobile
We have reviewed and met with two other products prior to WompMobile. In the end, we didn't do more a extensive RFP since the low investment cost prompted us to take a leap of faith. We also talked to WompMobile's reference customer, and they were extremely happy with …
Chose WompMobile
I have no basis of comparison. I stumbled upon WompMobile from a mention by This American Life (I think), and worked it out with them. Looked no further.
Chose WompMobile
When we started the process of finding a mobile solution, all of the products we saw were not very tolerant towards us and the industry. When we reached out to WompMobile, they walked us through everything and explained everything in great depth which was of great benefit to …
Chose WompMobile
The only similar alternative I found was Mobify, but they were extremely higher priced in all aspects.

If you want to teach your team or students how to program and learn programming languages, you would not want to utilize Phone Gap software. The Phone Gap software creates an easy fix to avoid learning every programming language for mobile devices. This creates a learning curve for some programmers because they no longer need to learn every language to be successful. However, for personal growth, this could pose an issue if programmers need to change jobs and are only capable of programming in web languages and then translate them using Phone Gap. Adobe Phone Gap works wonderfully for what our company uses it for. We use it because we have app launch deadlines and our programmers are invested in the company; therefore, they are aware that output is our goal, not actually learning the various languages, but more making sure the client is happy

Overall WompMobile is a great company, and it would be a great fit for 99% of companies out there. For us, we wish WompMobile had a POP in China to provide even faster page performance for CN users. To keep the cost down, a few enterprise anemities cited ealier will cause large enterprise to have reservations.

  • Honestly, we haven't experienced anything that would need improvement. As a company we are learning what we want and need to update and they have been there to support since day one.

We selected Cordova since it provides ease of doing business and ease of use. The best thing about Cordova is that you can code once and run it on multiple platforms.

We had interviewed a few other vendors who offered similar services. When it comes to integrating anything with an E-commerce platform there is always potential for major problems. When we asked each of the vendors the simple question of "Can you explain how your service works and integrates" many of the vendors could not answer this question from either a high level or a technical level which left us very concerned. WompMoble was able to explain their service so everyone on the team including some very seasoned developers felt comfortable moving forward vs. moving forward with another competitor

Return on Investment
  • Development timeline for making Cordova apps targeting multiple platform is lower than developing individual native apps for each platform.
  • Its easy to learn and set up. Coming from a native app development background, the learning curve for me was fairly small to get started with my hybrid app.

  • Our customer base is older, and we re not as reliant on a mobile site as some stores, but I did notice that our organic traffic rose in the wake of becoming mobile friendly. The Google penalty was noticeable, but now it is not there.
