Sencha Touch has many important features, which makes it a powerful tool used in mobile developing apps:

  • Sencha Touch comprises a set of GUI based components for use within the mobile web applications. Any user specifically optimizes these components or controls for input. This includes buttons with device specific themes and effects; sliders, selectors, and combo-boxes; a list component with momentum-scrolling and an index bar; form elements such as text fields for email, date picker, and address; toolbars and menus; a minimal icon set; bottom toolbars; movable tabs; as well as a map component which supports multi-touch gestures such as pinch and zoom.
  • All the components or controls can be themed according to the target device. This is done using Sass. Sass is a style sheet language built over CSS.
  • Adaptive layouts, smooth scrolling and animations improve the web application experience for the mobile user.
  • Furthermore, Sencha Touch has eight inbuilt transition effects comprising slide under or over the current element, flip, pop, and cube. It supports common touch gestures built from touch events, which are web standards but are supported only by iOS, Android and some other touch enabled devices. These include tap, double tap, scroll, swipe and pinch.
  • Themes that are out of the box and completely native looking, which are available for every major platform are also a key characteristic of Sencha Touch. These enable the developer to make web and hybrid applications match the look and feel of the target platforms.
