Why do we like Flutter?

Flutter is the first cross-platform technology in Entexy technology stack. Before that, the studio had been developing only native apps for 4 years.

The Flutter technology was created by the engineers of Google. They have collected positive and negative experiences from all the existing cross-platform solutions and derived a recipe for the ideal cross-platform.

Flutter allows you to save money without sacrificing quality. Developing one Flutter app that will work on both iOS and Android devices costs 30% less than developing two native apps from scratch.

Flutter apps are written on a single code base: testing and debugging is easier and there is less chance of errors.

There is no mismatch of platform commands - releases are released without delay.

Users won't notice any difference compared to native apps.

Unlike PhoneGap, Cordova, Ionic and other web frameworks, Flutter does not render the user interface on WebView. The application is rendered with its own graphics engine and several packages of customizable widgets: this allows you to implement almost any interface design in a short time.

Flutter applications are written in Dart: it is compiled into the native code of the platform for which the assembly is prepared. Therefore, UI elements, animations, and transitions between screens work just as well as they would in a native application.

The human brain perceives a picture as perfectly smooth if the interface is updated at 60 FPS. React Native can't always provide that frequency. For Flutter, this is not a problem - it "outputs" performance up to 120 FPS.

Kotlin Native only allows unifying business logic code across platforms. Flutter allows not only the business logic, but also the UI. This is important: in a typical front-end app, including a mobile one, the UI is a rather time-consuming part to implement.

One development team, two apps, half as many problems, 30% cost savings.

Flutter has access to all the features of supported platforms. Platform channel technologies allow you to access directly from Dart code to open platform interfaces: camera, GPS, sensors, device file system, etc.

Flutter industry is evolving - this affects the situation in the job market as well. The entry threshold to the technology is low: the framework is relatively simple. The language is familiar: Dart is an object-oriented language, and its syntax resembles a mixture of Java and JS. Therefore, more and more specialists are coming to Flutter from related fields: Android, iOS, web.

Entexy team is the pioneers of Flutter in the northern Europe. 

We have seen the benefits of Flutter through our own experience: we successfully launched an internal app for the employees of a food retailer, an internal corporate mobile solution and many others.

Flutter technology has become a real discovery for us. We want to further develop this direction in development. Creating increasingly complex and large-scale apps.
