If you’re making a great app chances are you’re going to want to know who else thinks its great. This an be determined by how many people are using your application, what they are doing within the application, or how long they are using your application for. This data can be tracked in iOS and Android using Google Analytics. We are lucky enough to be able to use Google Analytics within an Ionic 2 mobile application.

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog you’ll know I wrote about using Google Analytics in an Ionic Framework 1 application. This time we’re going to see how to use Google Analytics in an Ionic 2 application with Angular.

Being able to scan a barcode is a convenient way to share bits of data. Whether you’re using QR codes to share contact information or traditional barcodes for product information, being able to scan an image is more convenient than either entering a long code or similar.

Previously I wrote about scanning barcodes using Ionic Framework 1, but with Ionic 2 being all the rage I thought it would be worth revisiting for Angular.

Recently one of my subscribers asked me if I could refresh the social media sharing article that I wrote for Ionic Framework 1 to work with Ionic 2. Since I’m already in the process of rewriting all my posts to Ionic 2, I figured now is a good time to do so.

In case you hadn’t seen my previous post, it is still worth checking out. In either scenario, the goal we’re going to accomplish here is sharing messages, images, and links via social media outlets on Android and iOS within an Ionic 2 mobile app that uses Angular.

I’ve written a lot of Ionic Framework and Ionic 2 blog articles and have answered even more questions and troubleshooted more problems. When it comes to Ionic Framework, if I had to estimate, I’d say about 80% of the time the problems were related to the Ionic Service solution that the Ionic team offers.

I’ve written a post similar to this before on the topic of properly testing your Ionic Framework applications, but since it’s alarming how many people are still running into these issues I think it is worth bringing up again.

So you made a shiny new app and want to earn some money from it. The paid revenue model may not be the best fit for you, so instead you might want to consider ads. The more popular Google Admob solution makes advertising incredibly simple and best of all it can be used within an Ionic 2 Android and iOS application.

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog, you’ll know that I wrote about using Admob in an Ionic Framework 1 mobile app a while back. Things have changed since then, both in the framework and the particular plugin used.

Have you ever wanted to build a mobile real-time chat application? Previously I demonstrated how to build a real-time chat application using the CEAN web stack using Socket.io. This is essentially part two to that tutorial.

We’re going to take a look at what it takes to create a chat application using Socket.io and the mobile web framework Ionic 2.

Continuing to freshen up my popular Ionic Framework tutorials in preparation for the release of Ionic 2, I figured it was time to revisit how to determine network availability in an application. Previously I showed how to check for a network connection using Ionic Framework 1, but this time it makes sense to do the same using Ionic 2.

We’ll use the same Apache Cordova Network Information plugin from the previous tutorial, but this time we’ll evaluate how to use it with Angular.
