Overall Satisfaction with Swiftify

Swiftify helped us greatly in refactoring our legacy iOS applications and porting from Objective-C to Swift.
  • Good at Objective-C to Swift project conversion
  • Helps with Objective-C code refactoring
  • Has a decent app with automated conversion
  • It lacks general performance and availability
  • It doesn't handle Objective-C macro well
  • Overall conversion speed expected to be much better
  • Helped to reduce churn and to improve our delivery cycle a bit.
  • Refactoring took some time because it isn't really suited for complex projects.
There's not much to compare - we haven't found any proprietary like it. Existing OpenSource solutions are unmaintained and Swiftify supports the latest versions of Swift.
Swiftify is good converter, there's a room for imrovement, but it helps a lot.

Swiftify is well suited for porting of really old legacy Objective-C projects to Swift. The simpler the project - the better, 'cause it doesn't handle macro well.
