  • Cross-platform support and development
  • Native Features Access (for instance, reuse of Kotlin and Swift in development)
  • Instant changes in the app
  • Smooth performance, especially for UX
Cons
  • Minimizing the code size (in MBytes), compared to Kotlin and Swift
  • Future support of web apps
  • High entry level - learning Dart language (not very popular one)

  • Decreases development by half, sometimes more.
  • Increases collaboration by providing our developers a shared language and codebase to work with.
  • Generally strong performance, with very few noticeable performance drop-offs, compared to native code.
  • Extremely strong plugin ecosystem and developer community.
Cons
  • Occasionally updates to the Flutter SDK result in wide-sweeping changes that seem to not be thoroughly tested and considered. Flutter sometimes evolves too fast for its own good.
  • While the 3rd-party Flutter package ecosystem is vast and rich, 1st-party support for basic things (audio/video playback, battery information, Bluetooth services, etc.) are lacking. You are occasionally forced to rely on an open-source package for use-cases that other platforms have native support for.
  • Documentation, particularly around testing, is lacking. While there are some great docs, like the Dart Style Guide, many Flutter-focused support documents are lacking in quality and real-world usability.
  • Flutter allows you to architect an app however you want. While this is a great feature, it also adds complexity and leads to the current state of Flutter's state management, where there are 50+ options on how to organize your app, with very little official guidance or recommendations from the Flutter team. For a beginner, this can create decision paralysis.

Mobile Apps are the future of businesses & Flutter is the future of app development

  • It is powered by Google, so a great technical community is backing it.
  • The development of native apps is an easy process using Flutter.
  • As it is an open-source tool, we can use it without paying anything.
  • It provides nice UI options.
Cons
  • It still needs stability, there are too many frequent updates.
  • It requires learning a new programming language, i.e. Dart. However, one can learn it easily if you have previous experience with JS or any similar language.
  • Documentation is too technical.
