Pretty happy overall. Native iOS and Android output just works and instant over-the-air updates bypass store reviews. Complex apps may still require developer expertise can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is aPI and backend integrations — handled better than most — and accessible to non-developers on the team. Dependent on the Digia platform and runtime is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: real-time push updates to live apps and outputs true native apps for iOS and Android. On balance the feature set — especially real-time push updates to live apps — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Q&A

Can I really push updates without going through App Store or Play Store review?

Yes. Digia supports real-time over-the-air updates, letting you push changes to live apps instantly without rebuilding binaries or waiting on app store review. This is ideal for rapid iteration, experiments, or apps with frequently changing content and logic.

Do non-developers on my team need coding skills to build apps with Digia?

No, Digia's drag-and-drop visual editor is designed to be accessible to non-developers and supports collaborative team workflows. However, more complex apps may still require developer expertise, particularly for advanced backend integrations or custom logic.

Does Digia produce true native apps or wrapped web views?

Digia outputs true native apps for both iOS and Android. That said, you'll have less flexibility than writing fully custom native code, and your app depends on the Digia platform and runtime to function.
