What are big and highly used apps that use Flutter?

Google Home is the first thing that comes to mind. See here: https://flutter.dev/showcase https://flutter.dev/showcase
- msoad 4y ago
  From all those apps Google Home is the only I had to use for my Google Wifi router and it crashed a bunch of times!
  - trey-jones 4y ago
    It's very spotty connecting to my Chromecast as well, but the UI is cool!

  Google home is my most-hated mobile app. It’s slow, janky, buggy, and has terrible UX.

    Every action requires waiting. Its so frustrating. Open the app, spinner. Click themostat, spinner. Change the temperature, spinner. Its so frustrating. I use Home Assistant now as my primary home control app.

      I just noticed that. Opening the Settings menu shows a spinner! Are they downloading the list of settings items from the internet?!!

  Home is so buggy on my iPhone, it's strange that it's part of the showcase.

Canonical have specified it as the default development tool for their apps (e.g. the Ubuntu installer)

They have a showcase page that details large brands that use Flutter: https://flutter.dev/showcase https://flutter.dev/showcase There's also there own website: https://itsallwidgets.com/ https://itsallwidgets.com/

Philips Hue is fully Flutter since a while now (v4). There were issues with (pre-rendering of) animations but those have been resolved in Flutter.

My app [0] isn't big, but it's highly rated and uses Flutter [0] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-three-one/id1560266240 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-three-one/id1560266240

  Do you have an Android version?
  - LocalPCGuy 4y ago
    Doesn't appear to based on the website, which is just sad considering it's almost zero effort to create an Android build as well. I'd consider using this app also.
    - strongpigeon 4y ago
      I could indeed build it for Android, but since I'm using the Cupertino components, it would look and feel like an iOS app. As I said replying to the parent comment, I'm currently waiting on the Material 3 components to be available before I do that.
      - LocalPCGuy 4y ago
        Sounds good, although a bit sad I can't try it out, even if it felt more iOS-like. But you gotta prioritize your app and what's best for it. Good luck!
  - strongpigeon 4y ago
    Not yet. I'm waiting to use the Material 3 components which hopefully should be out soon.

My app[1] has 5 figure daily users (if that's considered somewhat big) and is written in Flutter. I love Flutter. It made all this so much easier. [1] https://stockevents.app https://stockevents.app

  Your app looks good! I'm curious, what did you use for the charts?

  This is really nice for testing. It uses most of the pretend-native components I was interested in. Right off the bat, I notice stuttering animations everywhere: Scrolling, swiping back, etc... This is on an iPhone 13. In one section, the keyboard opened on top of a text-field so I couldn't see what I was typing. The components are _just_ different enough that I feel something is wrong, but for the most part, I can't tell what it is. Then there's a bunch of minor stuff. Switches become slightly larger when they change. You cant swipe down modals. You can't drag & release over options in the sheet. I feel like I'm missing buttons more often. Overall, I get a vague cheap feel. Not so bad that I would outright dismiss the app as a customer, but I would definitely look for alternatives. This isn't a critique of the app. I think all of these issues are flutter-related.

  Just trying to be honest here, but using this as an example on my iPad Pro with magic keyboard... flutter apps do not feel great on iOS IMO. Animations have an initial low fps/jerkyness to them. Lot of weirdness when trying to use an the iPad trackpad, horizontal directions seem to be inverted. Scrolling inertia and feel just feels off in general to me. I'm sure flutter is great on Android and all but it still feels like they have a bit of work to do on iOS in order to really cross that uncanny valley gap. Regardless I'm sure what you have is a great app here so hope you don't feel like I'm targeting you or your app directly here, and at the end of the day if flutter allows you to make your customers happy more power to you and hope it works out the best for you.

Google Ads uses it on mobile which is responsible for literally billions in revenue.

Our app probably falls into those categories. Millions of downloads between iOS and Android, and has upwards of 50 different pages. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tracker-network-stats/id1287696482 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tracker-network-stats/id128769... Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.tracker.app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.tracke...

Nubank’s mobile apps are built using Flutter. They’re the largest neobank in LATAM (>50MM customers).

I believe the Sonos mobile app is Flutter.
