- Flutter App Development
Over the last few years we have developed our mobile apps using various different programming languages and technologies. We made use of Java for the Android development but after a while we knew we wanted to develop for the Apple platform. The luminous apps team has strong skills in web technologies (namely JavaScript and CSS) and so we took a deep dive into Cordova. This allowed us to write our code once and release apps for both Apple and Android. This was great for a while due and allowed us to expand our audience nicely.
Google launched Flutter Framework 1.0 towards the end of 2018 which offered similar advantages as Cordova, write once, deploy on Apple/Android. Apps developed using Flutter offer native mobile app performance, this is where Cordova for us was lacking (the app is wrapped within a webview), some of our apps written in Cordova had large lists which became sluggish and not so nice to use. We rewrote a few of our iOS mobile apps using Flutter and we are much more pleased with the performance and also the development experience (hot reload is simply a huge time saver!). Expect luminous apps to focus on more app development using the Flutter framework for rich quality mobile apps for you to enjoy.
- Birding App Updates for Apple
We released a significant update for the Australian, North American and UK Birds Sounds Apple apps. This update improved the performance and stability significantly thanks to the use of a new app engine. We hope you enjoy the update and your feedback is welcome as always.
- Apple Dinosaur Sounds App Update!
We have released an updated version of our Dinosaur Sounds and Information app for the Apple app store. We have replaced the app framework with a native solution and this update therefore includes significant performance improvements and several bug fixes!
You can download our Dinosaur sounds and information app from the Apple app store from here:

- Australian Pelican Sound Updated
We have updated the sound of the Australian Pelican on our Australian Birds Sounds app. The previous sound included a large amount of background noise and the new sound is much more audible.
- Birding Section Added!
We have introduced a new section to our website for birders that includes over 11,800 bird species! This is very similarly to our Birds Complete Reference Guide Mobile app (which can be found on the Google Play, Amazon and Apple App Stores). Birds are grouped by their family and also by countries. Links are included to various media sources for birding sounds, images and videos too.
