Making apps for cross platform is not an easy task, especially with a limited budget. Developers have to brainstorm for ideas to develop applications that provide maximum performance and user experience with restricted resources. The innovation of react native and native script made things easier nowadays. Developers can now build seamless mobile applications using single code base. This article is going to be about the key comparisons and differences between Native Script and React Native’s work, features and which one is more popular among the developers for what possible reasons. What is Native Script? It is an open-source framework, that helps in the creation of iOS and Android applications. It was released in 2015 by Telerik by Progress. With a top rating of 3000 stars on GitHub in just two months. Native Script also supports frameworks like Angular and Vue.js. What is React Native? React native was also released in 2015, by Facebook and its community developers as an open-source framework. If compared with Native Script, React Native takes the lead in being more popular among the developers for the creation of cross platform mobile applications. And not just that, it is also the most widely used framework worldwide. React Native is written in JavaScript, Java C++, Objective-C, Objective C++ and python programming languages. Top-notch app speed, fast iteration, and hot reloading for improved file refreshment are all advantages of React Native for native app development. Which popular applications are built on these frameworks? Although both these frameworks haven’t been in the world of software technology for at least a decade, yet, their popularity is unremarkable. However, both, React Native and Native Script are used to create high-quality mobile apps with the goal of capturing consumers' hearts and minds. So, here are a few examples of apps built with the frameworks listed above. Popular NativeScript apps: 1. California Court Access 2. Portable North Pole 3. MyPuma Examples for famous React Native mobile applications: 1. Sound cloud 2. Facebook 3. Discord 4. Instagram 5. Skype 6. Uber

Hi, I am trying the lean startup method I am a software developer that likes to create a useful program for learning languages. The idea is that a Native speaker will create a thread on some topic that is interesting for him and write a short story, let's say in English. Other students that are learning English will join the discussion and speak with him on a given topic. Will this kind of learning be interesting? What do you think? Would you give a try to this website/mobile app if it would exist? For native speakers it can be something like freelance, so they will earn some money or get some cookies... Thank you in advance for your opinion! King regards, Anton

I'd like to share one of my favourite programs to measure the level of knowledge in some popular European languages. Not an app but I guess I can put it here among apps. I've been using it since ages, and although it has its drawbacks (who doesn't?), it's one of the best free programs to estimate a language level. Not very pretty when it comes to interface but what matters for me is functionality. Dialang needs Internet connection and Java. It has tests checking your reading, writing, listening, grammar and vocabulary, and later on evaluating them against the European Framework (from A1 to C2). You can choose from Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Icelandic, Irish-gaelic, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Here's the link to download it: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/researchenterprise/dialang/about I hope it'll be useful for you.

Just found out about a free program for PCs called Buensoft Lingua and it looks very good. Has anyone tried it?
