Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Everything. The timing was fast. The price was fair. The knowledge was great. They helped get the app on the App Store and Google Play. It was a really good experience. I am a happy customer.
  • As a white label partner, it has allowed us to easily clone and resell apps. The software is well made and has allowed us to hire new employees and get them up to speed on the platform quickly.
  • I love using this app to create training plans for my company. Not being a very tech savvy person, this app is very simple to understand and creates top notch quality.
  • Overall the platform is great with many features that are available and can be customized if needed. The design interface is very cool as it allows you to make each app different while not looking like a template much like others out there. My support manager Jordan is great to work with as he made things very easy during my training as there are some learning curves to basically understand everything to this platform. If I have any issues or questions they're answered within a reasonable timeframe. Overall the features are really good and designing apps is pretty easy. I have only used this platform for about 6 month. But, I'm looking forward to reaching out to new industries now that I have my hands on this, and open to building apps for basically anyone in the future.
  • I was thoroughly impressed with the support from BuildFire that I received during our migration of our Mobile Claim App to BuildFire. I had many questions throughout the conversion and they were answered in a timely manner and I always had a follow up email to ensure I was happy with the results and to ask if I had any more questions. It was so nice that Sepopo was my main contact for a good portion of the re-creation of our app and she was aware of the issues I was dealing with without have to reiterate to many support people. Kudos to a job well done and I look forward to working with BuildFire.

Cons

  • I don't know it seemed like a really good experience. I don't really have anything bad to say.
  • Sometimes there can be some tickets that may take more time than expected to get fixed.
  • I don't have any cons for this app, everything works smoothly and customer support is some of the best I have experienced.
  • The admin console can be a little confusing with a few glitches here and there. But, like anything once you learn where things are and how things work it gets easier and easier each day, and the glitches get adjusted pretty quickly. The cost is more expensive from what I was paying in the past. But, it's not horrible and offers a lot and is a big upgrade from what I had before. The only thing you will have are additional costs along the way that are necessary in order to use the app platform correctly. You will just need a few third party products to really make this app even better. But, addition fees are expected in order to use this effectively. I would also like to see more loyalty features that are touch-less. Maybe offering QR codes to populate loyalty tabs, rather than punching in a code and having to have others handle your device.
  • It was a huge migration of many companies so it was very confusing in the initial stages and I was unsure if I would continue working with BuildFire. After a few discussions and when the wrinkles were ironed out, I was confident that BuildFire was the company to go with. I'm very happy I made that decision because our app is live and working well even before the deadline which was so important to us.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Wappler brings the best of both worlds by allowing the user to either develop by drag and drop of from code. - It is seamless and flexible to use, especially for web development. - Its native panel helps a lot with CSS designing and visual management. - With Wappler a user can create both front end and backend of the application.
  • It's very easy to design and developed a website. Drag and drop to customize. Prebuilt templates to make professional look designs. Highly customizable and user friendly.
  • It allows you to build complex, fast and well structured code for dynamic website and mobile apps very quickly. Pretty much everything is included within the program - front end page design based on Bootstrap 4, code editing with syntax highlighting and assistance, FTP, Git, powerful results without touching code, etc. And it's available on all operating systems.
  • Wappler is incredibly flexible when it comes to web app development by visual interactions and no-to-little-coding. Being based on bootstrap, it leverages one of the best and most widely used UI frameworks of all time! Further, integrating APIs and handling server actions are a breeze. Ability to create SPA reflects on the extensiveness of this incredible software. And, you can host your app anywhere, it is a simple desktop app without any binding to lock into proprietary or otherwise cloud services - fully flexible there as well. The Design Panel is rife with features to manage CSS visually as well - this allows for making changes while seeing the live design fast and very efficient for overall development process.
  • The Wappler design and develop environment software is really a great tool to quickly build all sort of web projects. I've build my own CMS with it, and connect that to every website I build (also with Wappler). Within 5 minutes you can create a complete CRUD functionality for your table, complete with multiple views and forms. The data api you create (server connect object) can be reused over and over for different purposes in websites, web apps and mobile or desktop applications. My experience is that, beside great data management, this software is really and finally a way better solution than the old ADDT, Webassist and Dreamweaver... all together! But to all the hand coders I say: give this a try. in no way you are bound to some software specific solution and limitations. Clean code is produced and can be easily customized in the nice editor they provide. To designers I say: now you have a opportunity to not only easily create beautiful websites/apps, but also make them dynamic with data. The UI and UX of the software follows the KISS principle. It's super easy to understand, yet it provides access to great power. The software is backed up by a motivated and large community, very active to support one another.

Cons

  • - The updates and very frequent, so much that the user has always keep up with the new features. - There are some minor bugs here and there.
  • Overall it's an outstanding website builder.
  • Bit of a learning curve. It took a while to grasp how to go about things but once 'the penny dropped' it's a breeze.
  • Being a rather new software, it is rife with bugs - however, ability to manipulate on code level kinda allows you handle most stuff but while missing out on the VISUAL part of the deal! This is understandable for a new company but doesn't mean they have to try less harder. Bootstrap is kinda a bad part about this as well because it just get overwhelming sometimes. While bootstrap does add flexibility, it also does add much redundancy to the UI/UX of Wappler.
  • Of course, software being so versatile in functionality, will take some time to really be explored. There are still area's where it can use some improvements both in more options for a specific function or more visual tools to get things done. But there is a great community that is open for suggestions, bug messages and so on. EVERY week the developers of Wappler come with an update, that not only fixes the bugs, just last wek reported, but new functionality also.
