Template vs Starter?

You might be wondering what is the difference between a template and a starter. Here’s the general classification of App template vs App starter :

An app template is simply the UI of the app made in a particular language. This can be Android, iOS or hybrid technology.

A starter, on the other hand, includes features more than UI. E.g. A Taxi booking app which allows you to create a booking and accept booking on the Driver side, is not just a template, it is a starter.

Let’s look at the amazing app starters and templates to jump-start your app development. These apps are made in Ionic and React Native, so you can create both iOS and Android app from the same source code.
