Best Everything Android Alternatives - 2025

Google's smart watch technology

Overall, Android Studio is a powerful and feature-rich IDE for Android app development. It is the best choice for both experienced and beginner developers. Here are some specific things that I like about Android Studio: The layout editor is very easy to use and makes it easy to create complex UIs. The code editor is very powerful and has many useful features, such as code completion, syntax highlighting, and error detection. The built-in emulator is very good for testing and debugging apps. There is a large and active community of developers who create plugins for Android Studio, which can add even more functionality to the IDE.

Gboard has everything you love about Google Keyboard—speed and reliability, Glide Typing, voice typing, and more

I was bouncing between Swift, Google Keyboard (before they re-branded it as Gboard), tried also some other new and old kids on the block, none had a level of customization I needed OR multi-language support (including aforementioned Google Keyboard).

Once Gboard introduced two languages I had hard time choosing between a bit sluggish Swift that had 3-language support and Gboard supporting "only" two languages. Then Google introduced a simultaneous support of 3 languages and it was a no-brainer for me going for Gboard.
