### "Efficient Code Migration with Swiftify"

January 19, 2024

5.0

Pros

Swiftify makes moving code from Objective-C to Swift easy. It's user-friendly, accurately translates code, and lets you customize the process. The helpful resources and responsive support team add to its appeal. Swiftify stands out as a great tool for developers tackling code transitions.

Cons

Swiftify generally excels, but minor inaccuracies in code conversion occasionally require manual adjustments. While customization is feasible, some users might desire even more advanced options. Enhanced handling of specific code patterns and increased customization depth would further elevate the tool's overall excellence.

### "Best Tool For Code Conversion"

January 19, 2024

5.0

Pros

The tool is very fast in simple to complex code conversions and give almost accurate codebase for the inputs.

Cons

The tool was offering a free to use feature which included 10 code conversions for free per day but now, swiftify has started to charge for this feature as well. There should be a free plan as well.

### "It Sorta Works"

August 1, 2019

2.0

Pros

It's good for quickly translating objc into swift.

Cons

You have to go over almost every line of code it translates and fix something. It still doesn't do simple things like adding "override" before viewDidAppear in viewcontrollers for example. Also, it's way too expensive. One day the price just doubled and they told me they never changed the price since they launched so it's ok. It's not ok, it's way overpriced.

Review Source

Response from Swiftify

August 2, 2019

First of all, thanks for trying Swiftify and your constructive review! Regarding your comment on adding the \`override\` keyword. The \`override\` keyword is properly added, but of course, only if your class derives from UIViewControler (or a superclass that also defines this method): http://swiftify.me/huz23h Thus, you have to include the whole class declaration in the conversion for this to work properly. If you convert a selection in Xcode, and the selected text does not include the class declaration, the converter would not know what the parent class is. As regarding pricing, we are still looking for the best pricing model and I'll consider your feedback. If you don't like the subscription model, you can pay for an individual conversion by uploading your zipped files or project at https://objectivec2swift.com/#/converter/project/ Anyway, I hear your feedback and I am open to any suggestions to make the product even better.

### "Excellent tool with great functionalities for ObjC to Swift conversion"

February 18, 2023

4.0

Swiftify is a useful programme for translating Objective-C code to Swift code. When we work on older projects, Swiftify comes in quite handy. Also, I was able to utilise this to quickly convert some older projects I was working on into Swift by using it instead of just reading the documentation on my own, which helped me save a tonne of time. Swiftify is an excellent service overall; it assisted me in better understanding Objective-C when I was learning mobile programming and while I was working on some real-world projects.

Pros

Your objective c code may be converted to swift using this tool extremely effectively. I appreciate how the staff is always improving and responding quickly to any problems that may arise. The Swiftify Plugin for Xcode is simple to use and beneficial. The tool is really easy to use, quick, and accurate for the most part. Ultimately, I just had to spend a few days reading through all the code and examining the changes after transferring millions of lines of code.

Cons

Some of the generated code has to be optimised since it is wasteful. One time when I migrated some code, I saw many compiler warnings, but they were simple to fix. I experienced a conversion failure where several lines of code were to blame and the entire section of code below those lines were not converted at all. Several items didn't move entirely, but I was able to rapidly repair them, so they could be solved now.

### "Easy Conversion in a click"

July 10, 2019

5.0

I love it and its my first choice to convert code. Easy to use and understand. one click operation.

Pros

easy copy paste options, option to select different swift versions. support for xcode as plugin and project conversion.

Cons

copy paste limit on website. no support for dark mode. should add support for other editors.

Review Source

Response from Swiftify

August 9, 2019

I appreciate your feedback! 1) Indeed, the free version allows converting code blocks up to 2 KB. This should cover occasional usage like converting one method at a time, however. If you need more, you may upload one or more zipped file(s) on the Converter -> Project page. The rates to pay for an individual conversion are pretty low, so that should be sufficient for occasional usage. 2) The macOS app fully supports Dark Mode. We are featured in the Apple's list of Apps with Dark Mode support and on https://darkmodelist.com/. Could you suggest where are you still lacking the Dark Mode support? 3) Which other editors (s) would you like supported? We could consider your vote for our later development.

### "Too expensive for individual users."

October 13, 2020

5.0

I didn't get a good chance to use it, as the free trial only allowed conversion of very small files. The small files that were converted, had been converted fairly well. Again, if the pricing model was more fair for individuals I would have purchased a licence/subscription for myself. Consider offering an individual subscription/licence for this product. Paying per file is not a good model in 2020.

Pros

The software is probably the best objc to swift converter on the market by a long shot. However the pricing model is not very friendly for individual developers.

Cons

The sales model is not all that great. The monthly price for a subscription was extremely expensive/out of reach for individual developers. And their pay as you go model is not very scalable if you have lots of objective-c code to convert. I suggest that there should be an individual subscription/licence available for single users. Maybe $15-20 bucks a month. Or hell, even a one time licence purchase of $100-200 or so would be great.

### "How to convert most function from objective c to swift"

July 2, 2019

4.0

I use when there is some part of code in objective c that needs only to be converted in swift.

Pros

It’s very easy to use. Just copy and paste objc code and press convert: the magic will happen. All API name converted correctly and only some adjustments to make it work.

Cons

Some c classes are not converted correctly. Should convert in some more swiftly way some code.

I really appreciate your awesome feedback on the product. Regarding mixed Objective-C + Swift apps, they are indeed supported in the Advanced Project Converter, which is the part of "Swiftify for Xcode" app in the Mac App Store. Feel free to follow me up with any questions or suggestions on this matter.

### "It converts but the quality..."

February 22, 2020

2.0

It was good to try, it's a nice project to make it work but if you want to have quality Swift code you have to write it yourself (or hire a professional)

Pros

It gets the job done, it does convert Objective-C code to swift although you have to handle the result with a grain of salt

Cons

Converting Objective-c code to Swift is not a trivial task that can be automated (otherwise software engineers wouldn't have a job). It does convert the code to swift but I'd not use any code of that in production

Review Source

Response from Swiftify

February 24, 2020

Thank you for your review and valuable input! You are completely right - the task to convert Objective-C code to Swift is almost impossible to fully automate. However, we have spent 5+ years on the development of this converter to save time by automating the routine part of the process. This does not replace intellectual work required to further refactor the code to adhere to the Swift coding standards. If you have any particular improvement suggestions, feel free to report them at https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify/issues Alternatively, write back to me at alex(swiftify.com).

### "My first go-to when it comes to converting objective-c"

July 2, 2019

4.0

As one who started to develop using swift it is amazing to have a tool that converts old solutions to code I can read and also use

Pros

The ease. No need to log in if you just have a few lines of code that needs to be converted. But live that it can also take full files.

Cons

Sometimes there is bugs when converting, but I as a user can usually convert anyway if I chop large code pieces to smaller chunks

### "Saved me time and time is money."

July 24, 2019

4.0

It has helped a lot. Today I use it more for code fragments.

Pros

When I had some bigger Objective-C projects I needed converted this saved me a lot time / money.

Cons

Didn't always get callbacks, and such form ObjectiveC. But it got better all the time.

### "The best objetive-c to Swift conversor"

January 19, 2024

5.0

I simply love it how easily it is to convert big projects to Swift.

Pros

I love how easy and simple is to convert objective-c code to Swift

Cons

I can be tricky to find where to click to convert files

Review Source

January 22, 2024

I appreciate your feedback! Just for the records and everyone reading this, you may convert files the following ways: (1) Upload files at the https://swiftify.com/converter/project/ page (2) Select the files in the Advanced Project Converter (our main macOS app) and hit the convert (▶) button (3) Right-click the files to be converted in Finder and choose Services -> Convert File(s) to Swift using Swiftify Offline. If you have any suggestions one how to make this more clear, please write me at alex (at) swiftify.com.

### "Nice software"

July 1, 2019

4.0

The overall experience was "Oh wow, didn't knew they had something like this out there". At first I was a bit skeptical because I had tried other converters that were not accurate enough for us. But after a couple of days of converting small swift functions, I was convinced it would be ideal for our project.

Pros

1) It is very easy to use. 2) Any jr. programmer can use it from day one 3) It converts anything that is Objective-C to Swift, in a very timely manner, without bottlenecks. 4) I like the fact that we can try it out under the free version and test before we decide to buy it. P.S: We ended up buying it for one of our projects that required we convert an Objective-C SDK to Swift. 5) It has an Xcode plugin.

Cons

Conversion sometimes is not 100% accurate, but it is accurate enough for our team. I honestly don't think there are any cons about the software. It was be used on the web, and on Xcode as a plugin, which honestly was perfect for our team.

### "Swiftify ObjectiveC-Swift Converter"

July 3, 2019

5.0

I have been using swiftify nearly a year. It is really doing a spectacular job in helping me quick conversion of Objective-C code into Swift code. It is helping me many ways and saving my time.

Pros

i. Very easy to use and implement. ii. Convert old Objective-C code snippet to Desired Swift version, specified by user. iii. Even compatible swift classes, protocols, Predefined methods, properties conversion is made through swiftify.

Cons

Everything is good. Could be given access to whole file and project coversion. As of now, only Perticular function and properties conversion is there.

### "Easy to use and precise"

July 10, 2019

5.0

Anytime I got a solution working in objective c and you want to immediately try it in swift this is the right tool for it. No time spent anymore doing it manually :)

Pros

I liked that it required only a registration to be able to convert more lines of code instead of being paid. Was really easy to use, just a converter which really works great by converting the code to the latest swift!

Cons

Registration part, but let's say that it was really quick, so it didn't bother me, as I thought it would take me lot of data, but you can just signup quick!

### "Swiftify: the best way to code with Swift and Objc"

February 29, 2020

4.0

Overall, Swiftify is great. It's easy to use and very accurate. I would love a cheaper subscription as the one at the moment is a bit too expensive, but its still great tool which I use often.

Pros

What I love about Swiftify is its ease of use. Anytime you need to covert some Objc code to Swift its just a few clicks away. Another great thing about Swiftify is that its fast and accurate, 99.9% of the time, the conversion goes flawlessly.

Cons

What I don't love about Swiftify is its price point. I don't pay for it because I don't think I can justify the price as I don't convert that much code.

### "The best assistant when dealing with legacy projects"

July 8, 2019

5.0

Sometimes, I am converting legacy classes written in Objective-C to Swift.

Pros

Really helpful when you don't want to add a new feature to the old Objective-C code. At the same time, quick revitalization to the newest Swift gives a boost in implementation performance.

Cons

I don't need a subscription as I am using this service quite rarely for the single files. In my case, the pay-as-you-go model could fit much better.

Review Source

Response from Swiftify

July 12, 2019

I really appreciate your awesome feedback! If you don't need a subscription, we actually have a Pay As You Go plan that you could use. Just upload your project at the Converter -> Project page and pay for an individual conversion here: https://objectivec2swift.com/#/converter/project/ We are still in process of figuring out the best pricing model so your suggestions are definitely welcome.

### "Almost great"

July 16, 2019

4.0

I've used this converter specially for translating StackOverflow answers into Swift code.

Pros

It can convert almost any code, and it's getting better.

Cons

I'm not sure if that was improved, but the last time I've used Swiftify (1 year ago) the converter wasn't context-aware so sometimes the compiler.

It saved me a lot of time while converting a objc project to swift, i had to do a little touch ups but its great nontheless

Pros

ease of use, great tool for a swift developer, saves a lot of development time

Cons

it needs some improvement on value types

Review Source

Response from Swiftify

July 5, 2019

Thanks for your thorough feedback! Good timing to ask. We have just rolled up very improvements related to value types like String/Array/Dictionary/Set/etc. Since this week's update, Swift collections of value types are being passed by reference (using \`inout\`) keyword, and \`&\` operator is used to pass the related argument. Also, we no longer create shadow variables for method parameters of collection types that need to be writeable. See this sample (switch between Swift 4.2 and 5.0 to see these changes live): http://swiftify.me/r54g2s Since we have just rolled up these changes, I'd appreciate your time to check if your feedback has been addressed ;)

### "Transforming old projects"

July 2, 2019

5.0

I’m a new coder learning Swift and I’ve found that I learn much faster by converting some of my favorite open-source apps. Many are written in Obj-C so that’s obviously a lot of work, but great practice. The converter is like the answer page at the back of the math book. It helps me find the correct solutions when I’m learning.

Pros

Xcode integration and the ease of use fantastic. Also, the team at Swiftify is keep the updates coming to conversions keep getting better and more accurate.

Cons

Getting started with the API key was a bit confusing, but once you’re set with that it’s super easy. Considering this takes away a significant portion of the hassle of migrating to Swift, I can’t complain much.

We’ve been programming in Objective-C since Mac OS X 10.2 and we were looking for a tool to convert our old code from way back then to Swift and this is the only tool that could do it.

Pros

I like this software really a lot. If it is true that a perfect conversion from a programming language to another is really hard to achieve, this tool really make you save time, by leaving only implementation details left to the user.

Cons

I really can't find any CONS to this software.
