Mobile apps and Google web apps are two of
the most common uses for the Dart language.
toc: false

The popular [Flutter toolkit][Flutter] relies on the Dart language,
so developers writing Flutter apps—for Android, iOS, or other targets—use Dart.
To find a list of Flutter apps, visit the [Flutter showcase.][showcase]
## Flutter

[Flutter]: {{site.flutter}}
[showcase]: {{site.flutter}}/showcase
The popular [Flutter toolkit][] is powered by the
Dart language, runtimes, tooling, and libraries.
Over _one million_ Flutter apps for Android,
iOS, the web, and other targets, are all Dart-based.

Google engineers use Dart to create many apps,
including some that are essential to Google's business.
For example, if you use the [Google Ads][] web or mobile app,
you're using a Dart app that supports much of Google's revenue.
Also, the Assistant team at Google uses Dart for features in Smart Displays,
as described in [this announcement.][flutter-io19]
The [Flutter showcase][] features popular Flutter apps, including:

* [BMW][]
> "The BMW Group is establishing itself as a leading automotive app developer
and provider with a Flutter architecture developed 100% in-house."
* [Sonos][]:
> "...If setup is the “grand entryway” to the Sonos ecosystem, Flutter forms
its elegant façade..."
* [Alibaba][]:
> "When the Xianyu team was challenged to improve their user experience by
developing an app that was consistent across platforms, had beautiful graphics,
and still loaded fast, they turned to Flutter."
* [PUBG][]:
> "When the PUBG MOBILE team wanted to add a community module to allow players
from all over the world to share gameplay clips and more, they turned to Flutter."

## Google

Dart is used in almost every product group at Google:

* The [Google Play Console][] lets app publishers market Android apps, and
is written completely in Dart.
* The [Google Ads][] team continues to grow, with hundreds of SWEs primarily
writing Dart code.
* The [Google Assistant][] team uses Flutter and Dart to
drive the overall system UI of their Smart Displays.
* Both the UI and much of the back-end code for the
[Google Nest Hub][] and Hub Max devices are written in Dart.
* The list goes on, with many more Google applications
made using Dart and Flutter:

* [Google Pay][]
* [Google One][]
* [Google Fibre][]
* [Google Elections][]
* [Google Shopping][]
* [Cloud Search][]
* [Family Link][]
* [Google One][]
* [Cloud Search][]

Several other Google teams are currently rewriting their projects in Flutter.
In all, Google has thousands of developers
writing millions of lines of code in Dart.

their productivity suite are built with Dart.
* [Wrike][] uses the [AngularDart][] framework to
develop project management tools.
* [Blossom][] is an agile project management tool built with Dart.
