This time we resume with the 10 most popular Ionic apps of 2019. But first, let’s recap what Ionic is all about.



What is Ionic used for?

The future is all about cross-platform frameworks, and here the Ionic framework comes in handy! Originally launched in 2012, around the same time when web-based technologies like JavaScript started to be used for building extensively to deploy native apps for iOS, Android, and other popular mobile operating systems.

 

Ionic is an open source framework used for the development of cross-platform apps and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), based on the HTML5 programming language. Furthermore, the framework features a wealth of front-end building blocks, which helps with the development of highly user-friendly mobile apps. Apart from HTML5, Ionic also uses CSS and JavaScript at its core. Additionally, in order to run your app on multiple platforms it has to be wrapped with Cordova or PhoneGap. This makes Ionic a perfect option for web developers, who are the target group to use Ionic for their next app.

 

Nowadays, Ionic is one of the most popular cross-platform mobile development frameworks. Just to exemplify how popular, there are more than 5 million Ionic apps, powered by developers from over 200 countries that are supporting and improving the framework every day. So without further ado, let’s look at the most popular examples of Ionic apps out there.
