Overall Satisfaction with Adobe AIR

We were using it for HTML content on client websites and other web development tasks, which is a growing part of our business. However, it's no longer being supported by Adobe, which is very unfortunate. So we are moving to something else soon but will continue using AIR until it can no longer be updated etc. or it stops working.
  • Easy to learn
  • Works efficiently
  • Seamless integration
  • Adobe support (when it was still being updated)
  • Would have been nice to keep it supported
  • No updates in a long time
  • Not many tutorials on advanced features
  • Can no longer update it anywhere
  • Adobe reliability
  • Easy to learn for our freelancers
  • Free
  • Enabled us to take on some new projects
  • Was very little ROI as it was a free application for most of it's life
We already use all the other Adobe products so it was an easy choice to use AIR for our programming type of programs. As we used it more, we found that it was very simple to learn/the learning curve was not very steep at all. We honestly didn't look at any other options, because we all agreed that we wanted to go with the Adobe product.

With AIR, we construct apps using Adobe Animate components as ActionScript coders. We also used it to create a game for a client that ran on an intranet a couple of years ago. Since it's a self-contained app, it behaves like a normal program and so it's stable. The interface is Adobe standard so it's familiar and easy to use. AIR integrates with a browser as well, so it's hand for making add-on types of things. While it's a great program, I can't recommend it at this time as it's been discontinued. Which is a shame!
