Reviewers largely praise Flutter for making cross-platform app development simple, fast, and maintainable. They repeatedly highlight one codebase, consistent UI across platforms, an easy learning curve after the initial hurdle, strong community support, and useful integrations like Firebase. User sentiment is especially positive for mobile and desktop work, while web support is the main caveat and is described as still needing improvement. Makers of FlutterFlow and Time Ledger also emphasize its performance, ecosystem, and consistent multi-platform experience.

What's great

fast development (10)cross-platform development (24)single codebase (13)

Flutter is easy to learn and very fast to ship an app. It has a highly committed community, and the dev team is continuously improving the framework. There’s also a large set of third-party libraries built and maintained by the community, and it keeps growing every day. Having a single codebase makes it fast while also highly maintainable. Since it’s cross-platform, the experience is very consistent and there are fewer surprises.

What needs improvement

web app limitations (4)

The web side can be improved, and the development team is currently working on it.

vs Alternatives

React Native

The main reason I prefer Flutter is that the experience stays consistent across platforms. Since React Native compiles to native code, unexpected issues can sometimes occur.

I use Flutter for building and app for more than 3 years, starting from 0 knowledge. It's been a journey, but working with Flutter is a great experience from a developer perspective.
