@LucaMs There are always good and bad things said when evaluating a product, and I don't think it is unfair what has been said. I'm just very happy B4A is mentioned to a wider audience and I find the overall review definitely positive!

But in that article you notice that there is one thing common to all the different tools except b4a, commented with: "The other big drawback is...".

Thanks alwaysbusy for the article link.

Adam Sinicki has written a good and elaborate detail of different options available for Android development. Though he could have added like "the apk build runs ‘natively’ on the device and gives you more control over things like memory" for B4A too.

Still he put up the biggest plus of B4A, "our community". This one factor is enough for a serious developer to join B4A.

I'm happy to see this article. Overall he wrote good things about B4A and I'm sure that it will bring new visitors.

The article never mentioned Delphi, which now supports Android, iOS, Mac, Windows & Linux (server). I guess he either couldn't afford it or he didn't have the time to learn how to use it. IMHO, Delphi for Android/iOS is pretty expensive for the average (non-corporate) developer. B4A is the best development platform for the money hands down.
