Axway Appcelerator requires better installation guidance due to its heavy reliance on Android or iOS SDKs. Documentation appears outdated and API calls require refinement. Users encounter issues with company support and outdated tutorial videos. StoreKit's support for In-App Purchases is buggy and problematic for production. Development tools like Titanium Studio occasionally ignore changes and hinder console messaging. Animations and performance, particularly on Android and graphic-intensive games, need enhancement, and the app building process could benefit from speed improvements.
- "Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
- "Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
- "Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
