ionic-framework: Navigation is extremely slow on Android

Ionic version: (check one with “x”) [ ] 1.x [x] 2.x

I’m submitting a … (check one with “x”) [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or http://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior: Navigation back is very slow on Android. Works perfectly fine on the browser on my desktop.

Expected behavior: The speed needs to improve by order of magnitude to make it usable for my client (and I believe or others).

Steps to reproduce:

You can get access to the full code on my (public) GitHuB repository: https://github.com/gdoron/rotter-hybrid The code is really trivial and small, 3 pages app with nothing but showing data in lists (it’s a forum).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the app (the client is from Israel and the app is in Hebrew, but it doesn’t matter)
  2. Click one of the items on the list
  3. Click one of the items on the list in the next page.
  4. Navigate back.
  5. Navigate back

The navigation back is horrifically slow on Android.

I decided to quit ionic, it’s slow for me and for everyone else using it, tested with extremely small app with 3 screens. I don’t see any reason to continue to invest resources in ionic.

My company will use other technologies.

👋

Steps to reproduce:

Click on the first row in the first page: (“סקופים”) Click on a thread that has more than 100 comments (“תגובות”) and go back. The navigation back and fourth is very slow.

A nice guy over slack from the community just experienced the same slow when he ran my app. @jgw96 I don’t think it’s a “support” issue, it feels like something is fundamentally wrong with ionic, but that’s you to decide.

god, i was thinking that it was something to do with the device. Sigghhh if only i knew that the ionic application is slower on tabs 😕 i would have remade the application in other.

I’m not sure the issue in the form is the same as I experience, but just in case: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/very-slow-navigation-with-android/50557
