If you’re a technology fan or just like new things you probably have read websites like TechCrunch, Wired, Engadget and Forbes. You must have noticed new smartphones and tablets coming out every month. Bigger, faster, thinner, lighter…


The same is happening with the mobile software. It’s amazing. If you compared what we had in 2011, just five years ago, and today, you’d notice that we don’t need to use our laptop or desktop computers for many tasks anymore. You can order food, travel, rent a place, meet new people, learn, teach and do things you never imagined you could do, all from your mobile device.


Despite the dominance of key players (Google and Apple) in the mobile devices industry, we’re seeing new players and products entering the market every year. And even amongst the goliath Apple, once known for its uniformity in devices, we’ve seen them launch several different shapes and sizes of mobile devices in the market now. Android is well-known for its thousands of different form factors and screen sizes. So what does it mean for the app developer? It means there are big questions about what kind of apps to develop, what OS to optimize for, and ultimately tools and platforms to use in the design and development process.



Over the past couple of years, along with the growing needs of app developers, the app development platform and tools market has evolved and grown as well. A few years ago you needed a team of highly-skilled mobile developers and designers to create an app. And you were building it from scratch in an IDE (integrated development environment).


But today, seasoned and aspiring developers can both access numerous of types of tools that enabling them to create and launch apps faster than ever. Most important, you can now create cross-platform apps that will enable you to reach more users no matter the location, income or device type. Best of all, most of these tools let you focus on what matters most: delighting your users.


Let’s take a look at some of the latest cross-platform app development tools available in 2016. If there is a tool I missed, make sure to leave a comment or a tweet.
