Battery Life

The Famo.us core platform has been carefully optimized for creating applications that can achieve native-like performance when animating elements. And tools like Cordova make it simple to port your Famo.us web application to native platforms.

Yet, despite these optimizations, mobile devices are still succeptible to battery-drain, so it’s important to keep some rules of thumb in mind when targeting them.

Famo.us: A work in progress

The first thing to remember is that although Famo.us has been optimized to solve many of the performance problems with HTML5, it is still a work in progress, and there are still many performance optimization gains to be had. The core Famo.us engineering team is continually working to make Famo.us more efficient, and thereby save battery life for your users. Contributions are welcome!
