Pros

  • Great team and very helpful. We have been on their agency plan for a while and have been able to launch numerous apps.

  • We love that Shoutem allows a great degree of control over the product, which gives us the opportunity to customize and tailor the app to our needs and the needs of our listeners.

  • Easy onboarding, and working on platform was really easy and fast. Templates for business are win.

Cons

  • Everything they lie they cheat and they rob you.

  • It takes a bit of time to get used to their UI, and I don't like that their pricing doesn't have an iOS only option (the have Androind only option).

  • Limited to what you could do. Their team didn't always get updates out that they said they would in a timely fashion.

"For small business this is ideal option"

Overall: I would say that its good ration of what you pay and what you get. Design capabilities are most advance on this platform. But like on any product there is room to improve

Pros: Easy onboarding, and working on platform was really easy and fast. Templates for business are win!

Cons: Preview is a bit slower. So sometimes you need to wait for like 2 min to see your changes, but on the other hand while the preview is loading you can do changes

Alternatives Considered: BuildFire
Switched From: Appy Pie
Reasons for Switching to Shoutem: Design is a bit poor. Interface is kinda old

"Great for a Starting App"

Pros: It was great to get my company going as it's affordable and easy to use. I loved that it had location info and message boards for my users to access. The simple design was great for me as an early designer.

Cons: Wished there was more options with the design. Limited to what you could do. Their team didn't always get updates out that they said they would in a timely fashion.

"Solid No-code Environment"

Overall: Overall, very reliable. They’ve kept us up and running for several years over so many upgrades to the underlying tech. We don’t have to worry about new requirements from Apple or Google or new laws because Shoutem upgrades to take care of it for us. Interface is easy to use and produces high quality apps.

Pros: No-code environment. Very flexible. Able to add new extensions and use web views to integrate web-apps. Responsive customer support team. Reliable platform over several years, they always fix what will break due to upgrades and new restrictions from Apple or Google.

Cons: Documentation on some of the extensions is lacking.

"Customer of 10+ Years: Solid, Reliable, and Easy to Use"

Overall: Our overall experience has been a very positive one, thanks in large part to their customer support team.

Pros: We love that Shoutem allows a great degree of control over the product, which gives us the opportunity to customize and tailor the app to our needs and the needs of our listeners. We also greatly appreciate how attentive and helpful the customer support team is. They have gone out of their way many times over the past 10+ years to help us whenever we have questions, concerns, or bug reports.

Cons: We do not have anything that we like least about Shoutem.

"Not easy"

Pros: The only good thing about the system is that they upload your app to Google and Apple stores for you. You save money and time

Cons: Many things. The first the system is not friendly at all. The customer service is really bad. Everything is based on emails and you have to have a lot of patience to be answered. Currently, they have two versions and both are complicated. I do not recommend it unless you have a very good team of designers and programmers who support you

"Alternative tool for cross platform application development"

Pros: - Good for quick prototyping and MVP product - Its great useful when the user wants to create multiple platform apps in very quick time

Cons: - The pricing is too complex and you need to opt for the highest plan to build for all types of devices - Features need to be improved

"Built some Basic Apps - But not as extensible as I required"

Pros: Shoutem allowed me to build some very basic white-labelled apps for my clients. I didn't need to know a lot of code and it was easy to mockup designs.

Cons: The monthly subscription model was not profitable for me as my clients were not keen on a subscriber model for their custom apps

"A Drag and Drop Mobile App Builder Great for Basic Apps to Go"

Overall: When I have a client that needs more than just a site to mobile conversion, but not a full mobile app build, this is a great solution for creating something professional to present to their digital community. If the price isn't an issue, I highly recommend for simple apps.

Pros: Ease of use. No coding skills required. Just jump in and do it (with a bit of basic planning) you could have a mobile app up and running in a few days.

"Great product, very good for quickly making smaller apps or prototypes"

Overall: If you need to develop a fast prototype or a smaller app - I would try doing it with Shoutem.

Pros: You can drag&drop components and build your app very quickly - and it runs on Android, iOS and as a HTML5 web app. Many things that come out-of-the-box, like location-based services, push notifications, and multiple content integration options a real time-savers.

Cons: It takes a bit of time to get used to their UI, and I don't like that their pricing doesn't have an iOS only option (the have Androind only option).

"Worst app company ever"

Overall: Trash and I'll never recommend them to anyone

Pros: Nothing didn't work and company has very weak support

Cons: Everything they website doesn't say you need to have developer accounts before buying
