This has been a very long chapter, but it is a chapter that takes you from an okay looking app to an app that looks far more professional. We looked at the problems of how to create a custom view across the three main mobile platforms, how to take the code meant for just one platform, and how leveraging Xamarin Forms can create three applications with very little in the way for developers. Having said that, anything more than a basic UI requires customization on the platform level.

In the next chapter, we'll look at how to connect to various types of web services.
