We are looking at how we can improve all of our products and we would like to know more about our CoronaCards customers and how you’re using CoronaCards to make your apps.
What are you using CoronaCards for?
Specific use cases would be helpful.
Why did you choose CoronaCards over Corona Enterprise?
Thanks
Rob (on behalf of all of us)
I’m not sure what CoronaCards actually is?
Hi Rob, in 2015 we’ve launched Pinacoteca App.
It’s an App to improve the art experience of the visitors of the “Casa del Arte” (an importan art museum located in the University of Concepcion, Chile).
We’ve included interactive games in 30 pictures: puzzles, colorize, find the difference, etc. Everyone of them was developed using CoronaCards.
We’ve chosen CoronaCards because it’s really easy to mix native development (estimotes, augmented reality) with rapid game development.

Thank you CoronaLabs team!!!
I’m with adrianm on this one. I don’t know why I should choose CoronaCards over Enterprise and how they differ.
Corona has answers this here https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/programming/intro/index.html#thesuiteIn summary if you want to add a corona lua apis to an app made in Xcode, Android Studio, Unity, Phonegap, etc use corona cards. If you want to add native apis to corona engine then enterprise is the way to go.
Scott provided a pretty good summary, but let me expand on it.
With Enterprise, the assumption is that your core project is a Corona SDK project that you could run in a simulator, build, run etc. But now you need to expand features that we currently don’t support. You find some native library that you want to include. This is where Enterprise shines. You create whatever native bindings, and then call your native libraries from your core Lua based code, much like you do with plugins. In addition, Enterprise lets you make plugins. It provides offline builds and the ability to script your build process and do more automation.
CoronaCards on the other hand is the opposite of this. CoronaCards assumes you have an existing native app where so far everything has been done in native land but you want to add a feature to your native app that Corona would be good for. You basically create a view in your native app (could be full screen, or a window inside the app) that opens up and runs Lua/Corona code in the view. Maybe you have a business/utility app and you want to offer a game inside it.
But this is one of the reasons why we are asking these questions. People might not be using CoronaCards the way we understand and before we go making changes. As our new CEO Stepan posted in the sister thread on Enterprise (https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/68395-how-do-you-use-corona-enterprise/) we really would like to know more about how CoronaCards is used in your projects and business.
Right now our survey linked in the other thread is Enterprise related, I’ll see about getting a Cards specific survey made, but for now just let us know here about your use of CoronaCards.

Hi Rob,
All my busyness is based on Corona sdk and CoronaCards, for years now. i only develop for some clients (no personal apps), sometimes games but most often bizness apps with very good results. I occasionally use Coronacards for Android, but in the spirit of Corona entreprise, with my core corona project embedded and few java to expand some features. I do not use Enterprise because i work on windows. Is it planned to make Entreprise available on windows ?
Any one else have a use case for using CoronaCards? Let us know how you’re using it!
Thanks
Rob
You might want to send corona card users emails. I don’t think too many corona cards users use the forums
We have not yet used Corona Cards but we’ve made a few pitches to companies where we might use them. We work with incredibly large organizations where their mobile apps can be a tangled web of technologies. The companies are too large for us to get their complete app sometimes … so we were thinking we’d pass a Corona Card over to their dev team to drop in.
