I have been working as an app developer for over 5 years and can give you a couple of useful tips. While all the mobile app development tools featured in this article https://redwerk.com/blog/best-open-source-mobile-app-development-software/ have their pros and cons, they are all capable of developing highly intelligent, usable for the user and customer-oriented mobile applications that have become the order of the day. Each project has its own unique requirements.
