"Kivy has no scalability and its also slower for android devices and even crashes too bit."
I like the shorter syntaxes and readable code of kivy as anyone can understand them easily and lots of tools are there and community support is good.

Kivy is the innovative library for python and like an angel to py developers because they just got an UI for their code so it is best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a python developer and have always wanted to deploy my code in the form of an application.Everytime I had to take help of any third party software that would either convert or connect my code to the UI.Instead when I came to know about kivy,i am easily able to develop my end-user application using python itself and withou help of anybody else which is really great.

It would be better if you could only include the required Kivy components for your particular application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kivy?

The online community (IRC, forums) is a great place to learn. The users are extremely helpful and nice.

KV language is great. Kivy is great for building a cross platform application. Easy to port to android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kivy?

A little tricky at times to get the event dispatching and property bindings right, but once you understand it it becomes very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kivy:

It is a great new platform. It can help you create amazing cross platform apps and it's framework is very flexible and robust. It will not, however, create native looking applications. With a little time and effort you can make the application look native. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cross platform application development with main focus on embedded linux and android. It was very easy to build the app for both linux and android. There was no differences in how it ran under each OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
