Ionic App Development
Ionic is a leading HTML5 mobile app development framework used by businesses to build hybrid mobile apps.
Ionic Framework
Ionic is an open source mobile toolkit for building high quality, cross-platform native and web app experiences. The same codebase can run as a web application and can also be built as a mobile application and desktop application. This allows companies to reach their customers at a very fast pace as they can maintain a single code base for different platforms. This also helps in faster and efficient development as the skills required to build apps on different platforms remains the same. Ionic helps in reducing the cost of development as organizations need not hire specialized developers for mobile, desktop and web.
Ionic is a hybrid development framework. Ionic’s universal web components pair with any JavaScript framework, including Angular, React, Vue, or no framework at all (just add a script tag!). Ionic apps are backend agnostic, with connections to AWS, Azure, and Firebase.
Advantages of ionic framework
Developer friendly
Developers who have knowledge of building web applications can build apps for web, android, iOS and desktops.
Lowered cost of developing apps
Lowering the cost of developing apps. You only need to work on one hybrid app to deploy across multiple operating systems. This means slashing all expenses associated with creating multiple apps for different devices.
Hybrid Model
As a hybrid model, it means that you can easily reach the target audience no matter which mobile devices the target users are using. This will easily grow the customer base, raise sales, and profitability.
Hybrid Vs Native Applications
Native Apps
Native applications are mobile apps specifically designed for a particular operating system—iOS or Android. For instance, Android apps are written in Java and iPhone apps are written in Objective-C or Swift. The advantage of choosing a native app is that it is the fastest and most reliable when it comes to user experience. Native apps are built using an operating system’s SDKs and can also interact with all of the device features, such as the microphone, camera, GPS, device storage, etc. The disadvantage, however, is related to development and maintenance costs. A bigger budget is required if you want to build your app for multiple platforms (i.e. iPhones and Android) which also relates to any on-going updates needed to keep your native app updated.
Hybrid Apps
Hybrid applications combine features of both native and web apps. They can be accessed via aweb browser and downloaded from app stores. They are written in HTML5 and JavaScript, likeweb apps. For the most part, they are web pages wrapped in a mobile app using WebView.However, they also have access to the built-in capabilities of a device. They are built usingcross-platform frameworks like React, Ionic, Sencha and Xamarin.
The advantage of hybrid apps is that they are typically easier and faster to develop than nativeapps. They also require less maintenance. However, the speed of your hybrid app will dependentirely on the speed of the user’s browser.

Techpearl as an Ionic App Development Company
Techpearl team has been building mobile apps on the Ionic framework for years. We have built and released Android apps, iOS apps and Web apps based on the ionic platform.
Building Apps with ionic
Building UI
Ionic apps are made of high-level building blocks called Components, which allow you to quickly construct the UI for your app. Ionic comes stock with a number of components, including cards, lists, and tabs.
We have also used angular-material to create beautiful and modern applications.
Lowered cost of developing apps
Ionic also has lots of plugins for achieving various functionalities like datepicker, screen orientation etc. We have used many of these plugins along with custom built plugins.
