Nowadays, there's an app for nearly everything. You can book a vacation rental, buy your groceries, share a ride, connect with friends, and so much more.

But there's always room for more apps that will make our lives easier.

And, there's a good chance you have the app idea that will be the next big thing. The only problem is, you're afraid someone will scoop up your idea before you can release an app.

The solution? Flutter is Google's mobile app development software. It can help you launch the app you've been dreaming up before someone else does first. Read on to learn the benefits of using Flutter.

Develop an App for iOS and Android at the Same Time

Flutter is a cross-platform app which means its coding language, Dart, works on both iOS and Android platforms. Two app versions can be built at the same time, which will save money and time in the app development process.

You won't need two separate development teams to build an app version for each platform. Rather, the same team can build both versions which will theoretically cut development costs in half.

Also, an app built with Flutter will look and operate the same on older versions of Android and iOS. It doesn't depend on current operating systems to work. So, your app will be accessible to more users.

Use Widgets for UI Development

Good UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) design will give you a major advantage over your competitors. UI refers to the visual or aesthetic design of your app. UX is the user's overall experience when using your app.

Since 90% of users will stop using an app if it doesn't perform well, quality UI and UX design can make or break the success of your app. Always think of the user first.

With Flutter, it's easier to create the ideal user interface because it includes a collection of widgets to choose from. The widgets look great but still allow for customization. So, Flutter helps developers create unique apps without needing to write all the code from scratch.

Update the Code and See Changes Immediately

Thanks to the hot reload feature developers can make changes to the code and see the results in seconds. Hot reload makes it possible to experiment with new features and catch potential bugs early.

Native app development doesn't have this feature. Instead, the project has to be rebuilt to show the changes. This extra step slows down the process and makes it harder to fix bugs that might come up later on in development.

Flutter encourages innovation while saving development time.
