Loved by some of our favorite people on earth.

I was so inspired when I found Ionic. It fills a gap that’s missing when building for mobile and solves many complexities that otherwise require multiple libraries, keeping your code cleaner. Overall, it just makes mobile development fun and fast, so you can build more!

Ionic makes building cross-platform mobile apps enjoyable. Its integration with Angular is seamless, so it has easily become our go-to for mobile.

Ionic is a shining example of a high-quality framework that takes advantage of Angular's power and flexibility, enabling developers to build production-ready mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps, in a fraction of the time.

The more I look at Ionic, the more I love what they are doing. Truly. I wish I had a mobile app to build right now.

Ionic dramatically changes the way mobile apps are built. Their integration with Angular means building functionality is now a breeze and it feels near-native. Your developers and your users will thank you.
