Framework 7 Reviews & Product Details

I like the built in components for both android and iOS. And with their latest updates, they are now supporting Vue and React.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

F7 is a little bit hard to customize, you have to be a novice designer to modify UI appearance. And the support is awful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

look like native with amazing performance

components that cover mostly 99% of native controls.

easy to learn and well documented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

with new version 2.* need just need to go through the documentation again even if you already familiar with v.1.* Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Framework 7 for 6 months for developing Apache Cordova based mobile apps and for someone who comes from web development I think it's clearly the easiest and most fully featured framework to get started with. The strongest point of Framework 7 is definitely the learning curve which is almost non-existent in this case; if you have at least at least an intermediate knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript (and maybe even jQuery) and don't have a lot of time to learn something new, this is most certainly the droid you're looking for. Thanks to the amazing official documentation filled with real-life examples ranging from basic to pretty advanced ones, you can put together an application UI in a couple of hours even just by copying, pasting and modifying code from the examples. Framework 7 boasts a strictly mobile optimized jQuery-like custom DOM library called Dom7 under the hood which is super easy to use if you've used jQuery before - it has almost exactly the same methods and features the same chaining capabilities. The framework performs quite well on lower-end devices too, but it really shines through on mid to high-end ones, especially if you're planning to take advantage of Cordova's pluggable webviews like Crosswalk or WKWebView.

Although Framework 7 is an amazing work of art, being as underrated as it is means that sometimes for more advanced questions you encounter you won't always find ready-to-use answers on the official forums, let alone StackExchange. Although I've rarely came across such issues, it's still possible that heavy customizing of built-in components might raise questions or issues that you actually need to ask about from the developer(s). Although I've seen pretty good response times and a very fair attitude of the main developer, Vladimir Kharlampidi. It's also worth mentioning that some people might regard Framework 7 at the time of my review as an "einmannfirma" (one man firm), as he's without question THE main developer of the project. In other words, it's not an entire development team behind Framework 7, but for one I'm very happy with the way he designed and implemented it, and since the project is on Github, anyone is welcome to fork it and/or submit pull requests.

The documentation would have to be my favorite part. Its difficult nowadays to really know what each framework's purpose is and how to use it. I also really enjoyed the animations. Smooth transitions mean a lot, if it even acts clunky, users will immediately be detracted from it. Keeping everything modular was also a plus, the fact that I can take out what I don't need and repurpose it for something else or even add more than what's required for future features is really nice.

At the time of me using framework 7, there was only one theme that didn't look well on Android devices. Although framework 7 was built around the Apple atmosphere, there's still a large portion of Android users who want the same experience but a little more Material Styled.

Simplicity and documentation of this framework are awesome compared to competitor (aka. Ionic.)

The best thing is that you can use whatever JS framework, especially Vanilla.js :) and the whole product is clean, fast, light and comes naturally in my design and development process. Use the based Grunt files to start development, incorporate Cordova on top of it and you have a perfect hybrid apps machine ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have really bad issue to submit except the status bar management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows you to focus on the logic of the app, because it manages well every aspect of the application: already-done components, routing, templating, DOM Manipulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very easy to switch between material design and iOS theme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Native look for both ios and android UI. Also the developer listens to every requests and develop them freely! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well there's nothing much that I dislike about framework 7! It delivers a clean and native look UI perfectly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Framework 7 delivers exactly what is expected, a rapid and simple framework reliable enough to set up and app from the ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A simple yet noticeable thing is that some form elements aren't aligned with their respective guidelines both iOS and Google's Material Design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the stability of Framework 7. I have heard horror stories from other developers about other services so I searched hard for a good platform. Framework 7 allowed me to save and continue my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was not as user-friendly as advertised. It took me several hours to get the hand of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Framework 7 is definitely awesome if you're making hyper app for cross-platform environment. It's simple to use and can show native UI of both iOS and Android without changing functional code. It's a powerful tool for quick working app prototype development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Framework 7 only supports UI of iOS 7+ and Android with Material Design. If you're making app for other platforms then Framework 7 may not be your choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
