NativeScript Preview User Reviews

Fantastic

Grate app for NS dev

Worst app ever see

It doesn’t work. Making Fool

Doesn’t work

Nothing works. Eveything is broken, Even demos

Doesn’t seem to work with 18.2

My app worked fine until I updated to 18.2. I made no changes except updating and I get a ton of unfixable errors it seems

No functional

Ain’t working as expecting. You can connect to an app once then you can no longer switch to connect to another app. No guides at all, no setting nothing to understand how it’s working.

Incredible

Very good application to develop in native with NativeScript quickly!

Easy to Use and Super Useful

I’ve been loving using this app to work on mobile apps I’m developing with SvelteNative.

The reason this review is 4 instead of 5 is because a bug which currently exists - if your code causes an error, the preview app will tell you as much. It also tells you that you don’t need to restart the app - once you fix the error in the code, the app should refresh. This, however, does not happen. The only way to fix this is to terminate the session completely and restart (new QR code, new session). That said, restarting the sessions only takes a few moments, so it’s not a world-ending inconvenience or anything: but I’d implore the developers to look into it.

All in all, this is a development workflow tool that I’m super glad exists.

Bug

Their is lots of bugs
And app will crashing many times

Broken

Does not work: running in terminal “ns preview” gives error on iOS devices after scanning qr code

Really wanted to like it

Been trying {N} on and off over the years, really wanted to like it given the impressive features and the ease of playground from the very start. But the documentations and --help results are just terrible, as times completely wrong. Then to add insult to injury the playground app currently at v6 is a behind the v7 boilerplate typescript vue example. Migrating to v8 further causes crash on launch with file:///app/bundle.js:18:83: JS ERROR ReferenceError: Can't find variable: TNS_ENV

How to return to components after app preview

No way return back to preview NativeScript components after we preview app.

App crashing and not updating

All I ever see from scanning the QR code in the playground is a list of available components unless it’s just totally crashing. I’m on iOS 14.2. I have reinstalled several times.

Doesn‘t work on iOS 14

The app is not launching on iOS 14. That‘s really an issue.

Incredible piece of technology

This app has revolutionized how easy it is to get mobile app development started. Sure there are some errors you have to recognize and deal with, but that's what you get when doing development. On some occasions, there are errors that are unfixable generated by your own code (never ending loops, deep underlying errors, etc) but they can be solved by just uninstall and reinstalling. :)

App just crashes

Tired loading up a basic app and it just crashes. Screen shows then either just quits or shows and exception. All the test app did was show a button.

First thing I tried crashed the app

It spit out a mile long error and then says “no need to close the app, just fix the error” and now won’t work...

Good to develop mobile app

When i create/generate a helloworld template app and i run it on preview app, it’s crash (iphone 6s, ios 13.6.1). On the build screen the error say that the version of framework it is not compatible (6.5 vs 7.0). The framework preview app version is too old (could you upgrade the framework preview app ?).

Crashing at opening

App is crashing instantly when opening from playground

Stuck on crash

No way to resolve fatal crash as it loads your last session on resume so closing and reopening the app won’t do. You have to delete and reinstall the app. Maybe send a reset command when then new scan event is fired from the playground app? This way when a new QR Code is read the previous session is completely destroyed. Thanks.
