  My experience with ionic has not been very pleasant. I don't know if I did anything wrong, but basically adding something more complex than buttons and text boxes resulted in very bad performance.

  We ended up dropping the framework after struggling to include an interactive map into our app, anything web based didn't perform decently even on high-end devices.

  Another minor annoyance was not being able to quickly reload the app on the device. However, the browser integration made the dev experience more than decent.

  This was some time ago, so I'm curious to hear other people's experience on the matter. Maybe things have gotten better performance-wise!
