Easy to use

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The framework is easy to learn, with an extensive documentation & training materials. The easy use of QML with the entirety of Qt and the best C++ libraries as a back-end. The robust performance, number of LoC, number of supported platforms as well as the integrated theming/navigation.

Pros

  • You can easily build apps without needing to know the entire framework. If you are a beginner, it might take a while to figure out the details, make sure to check out the examples all across the documentation
  • You have the whole world of Qt at your hands when using Felgo.
  • If you search for answers online, also search for Qt related answers and resources, you can use them with Felgo as well.

Cons

  • Examples could have been more
  • Best to create cross platform applications

Likelihood to Recommend

I'm developing MVPs and complete the apps in the record time.

With Felgo on top, the Qt framework becomes much more powerful and allows me to turn around much more complex, time-consuming, multi-platform projects.

No matter what platform, there are rarely reasons not to consider Qt & Felgo for that.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Felgo to develop cross platform application for android, iOS, Windows and MAC. It makes programming easier for cross platform apps, as many things are readily available. Solutions are provided in documentation and also the forum is responsive enough to help the developer-facing issues.

At a personal level I have used Felgo to develop a game and compared to other tools Felgo helped develop the project faster, given that I was already familiar with Qt. Just one request would be Felgo documentation needs to be improved with granular details. Some information is not provided and have to contact support to team to solve issues that should be readily available in the documentation. Also Documentation is not fully updated with the latest changes in Felgo APIs etc. Apart from that, I believe Felgo and Qt combination can provide robust solutions to developers.

Pros

  • Ready available solutions for all platform mobile app development.
  • Live hot reloading of UI and other advance controls by Felgo implemented in Qt.
  • Using Qt underneath provides an opportunity to developers to use it in all kind of sectors like embedded devices, mobile apps, desktop apps, games etc.

Cons

  • Improve documentation for Felgo. APIs and usage of Felgo functionalities are not updated with granular details.
  • More examples would help, there are very few examples available for developers to explore functionalities.

Likelihood to Recommend

Pros: Felgo could be very useful for faster development of mobile apps, games etc. It is based on Qt hence cross platform apps can easily be developed. There are multiple advanced controls and UI elements available to develop apps quickly.

Cons: As it is based on Qt it requires an understanding of c++ and Qt. handling native functionalities of mobile platform requires extra efforts as it is based on Qt, c++ only.

The best tool we use

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Felgo to realize our mobile applications. We have created a mobile currency conversion application. It is an excellent application design tool that allowed us to quickly develop our project. The possibilities are almost endless and it was a real pleasure to work with this tool. Felgo is among the easiest cross-platform tools to use according to a survey done by research2guidance : Qt-Creator IDE with Code Completion, Debugging and Profiling, integrated Quick Help, Version Control and more.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Lot of tools
  • Good communication with the team

Cons

  • QML component / C++ code with hot reload feature.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a very good tool for making all types of mobile and web applications once you know how to use it. It allowed us to realize several application concepts, such as currency converter, pregnancy monitoring, QR code flash for product evaluation. No need for native SDKs, Build in and Install from Cloud with the Felgo Build Server.

Easy implementation and fast development cycles

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am right now creating internal prototypes to test different ideas.

This is really a game changer on how I was planning to go during the first days, learning. We are right now being productive and the Felgo demo apps are real and complete spaces to start from.

My entire dev area is using it to submit fast proposals and iterations. We might even believe that many will stick and be delivered on top of this framework.

It helps us to create a faster approval cycle into prototypes with the internal clients, and we are exploring the functionality that will allow us to make changes to services in our apps without having to submit constantly to app stores.

Pros

  • Easy to learn.
  • Fast development cycles.
  • Can grow from JavaScript plus QML into C++ if needed.
  • Can use existing talent that comes from Web platforms.
  • Has a very supportive community.

Cons

  • Clarify the complexities related Qt and QML licensing.
  • Allow for a better splash screen loading experience with the free license.
  • Correct the ssl problem when installing under Ubuntu.

<p>Felgo shines in rapid prototype development and fast iterations.</p><p>It also has a very short learning curve compared to many other technologies that promise "code once, deploy everywhere."</p><p>It is not appropriate if you are not willing to mess with the licensing related to Qt but I am still waiting for a clear answer on my doubts from the Felgo team.</p>
