December 16, 2017

5.0

This product helped me build my business with the best app i could possibly make

The best thing about this developing website is the fact that it is so easy to use. The design is so simple and sleek that there was no confusion whatsoever. It was all laid out on the table. The template selection work out for me.

Cons

It was a little difficult to use at the beginning, but they updated 3.0 dashboard resolved my frustration.

November 30, 2017

5.0

Maintenance cost is very low compared to big agency's costs,

Pros

BuildFire's platform provides different types of templates and a great editor for customization in case you need more than what is available in the template selection.

### "The best experience I have had with an app builder"

January 23, 2018

5.0

Besides being very user friendly, this software has helped me save a lot

Pros

I needed a mobile app for my startup enterprise. Hiring a mobile app builder would be too expensive for me yet I didn't have the slightest idea on how to build an app. To say that BuildFire helped me would be like an underestimation. This mobile app enabler saved my life and that of my small startup business. BuildFire has proved to be essential because you don't need to have any coding background and the maintenance and upkeep cost is quite low.

Cons

You need to follow each of the guidelines provided to have your app published. I had to repeat the process several times before asking for help and being told this was my mistake.

### "Great starter templates but for the full experience it is pricey"

April 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to customise everything in a template, man options I did not think you could have so many options. Very cool builder!!

Cons

Costly! I had a client looking for an app to promote his small business. When he found out the cost to subscribe to the App Builder we abandoned the project. It was the only stumbling block.

I built the app I wanted.

Pros

Build fire provides a good variety of templates to choose from and a great customer support with a fraction of the cost of developing.

Cons

It took me a little time to get used to the editor but I was perfect when I learnt how to use it. Also, It is difficult to customize without coding background

### "BuildFire is the your savior if you don't want to do coding and make some professional applications"

December 23, 2017

5.0

I was able to build an app for myself in no time and without coding. That's the best benefit for as I don't like coding

Pros

The list can go on long but to list few, their most amazing feature is the availability of vast number of templates and you can select one of your own and it customized it according your needs. Their customer support is the next big thing, if you are stuck somewhere, just message them and the customer support is here to rescue you.

Cons

Overall their platform is flawless but as there is a saying nothing is perfect. I had issues while publishing my application but that too was due to the fact that I didn't follow their guidelines.

### "Very good even for beginners"

November 13, 2017

5.0

Even if you are a beginner you'll be able to build and publish your app in few days, as I did. I'm not so experienced in building app, but I could create my own one easily and I could connect it with external contents and social. Definitively, what I was looking for.

Pros

Cons

Maybe an instruction page or a better support page is advised. Sometimes I had problems in understanding how to do some things.

Cons

Sometimes the site lags when updating or changing items.

### "Platform good, support horrible"

October 5, 2018

2.0

All of the 5 star ratings you see has to do with the ease of the interface for building the look and content of your app. The low ratings all have to do with the difficulty of getting your questions answered by their support team. They think that if they are super polite and enthusiastic then that qualifies as good support. There is an obvious lack of cohesion with their staff. Most of the employees who answer questions have a very superficial knowledge of the product, and you'll never get to communicate with someone who knows the answers. As far as any obstacle you might face with Apple, then you're on your own. Good luck! If you're not a developer or have extensive programming knowledge, it is a very steep uphill learning curve.

Pros

The user interface is great. I easily figured out how to use their tools and plug-ins.

Cons

The process however to get the app published if you have in-app purchases is a nightmare.

### "Was a reseller for 6 months, really disappointed in the company"

April 8, 2016

1.0

I was a reseller with Buildfire for about 6 months then finally gave up after losing quite a bit of money over the process. This includes hours & hours of my time, money upfront for the reseller program, trying to get clients, and more. All of it just lead into nothing at the end of the day due to bugs and quality of product and lack of customer support. When I first started with Buildfire it was amazing. The sales team walked me through everything and it felt great, then it was just down hill from there. It feels like they're more focused on getting customers in the door as fast as possible and not too focused on keep the customers they have. I would say the biggest issue with this company is their lack of transparency around their product & the length of time it takes to correct issues. The support team is a little slow to respond to issues, especially when you point out a blatant bug within the their system, these emails go unresponded to for weeks. I think this company does have promise but they need to really invest more in their existing customers, not outsource support, and realize to make their business work they need to make their resellers work with a quality product.

### "100€ par mois premier prix"

March 18, 2024

1.0

Je ne supporte pas ce type de stratégie commerciale.

Pros

Les autres sont en moyenne à 20€ par mois en premier prix

Cons

Le simple fait que l'on découvre le prix à la fin, que leur stratégie commerciale est une toile d'araignée me dégoute

### "Great Builder, Too Expensive"

April 9, 2021

5.0

Phenomenal!! The builder is incredible it was just too expensive.

Pros

I think BuildFire is the best WebApp builder out there. The only problem is the pricing is just way to high.

Cons

I did not like the costs involved. There are many similar quality app builders you can use that are like 50% less in cost.

November 16, 2017

5.0

It's efficient and cost effective. No coding background needed.

Pros

What I like most about this software is that I was able to build my app easily within a week This is the best software to use if you have no coding background whatsoever like me. It's easy to understand and gives you everything you need. And if you have questions, they have great customer support.

Cons

I haven't encountered anything that I least like about it. So far it's doing great for me. it's very low maintenance and saved me a lot of time and resources.

### "Diseño de Apps"

May 8, 2020

4.0

Para aplicaciones sencillas en donde no necesitas ninguna herramienta de marketing, es algo costosa. Sin embargo recomendada por su gran facilidad y libertad a la hora de crear aplicaciones con imagenes de fondo y escritos.

Pros

Tiene una interfaz bastante intuitiva, permite construir fácilmente una aplicación sin tanto problema, ademas que te da opciones de colocar fondos para las diferentes pagina de la app lo que permite crear aplicaciones llamativas y bonitas.

Cons

No permite el uso de paginas web sin certificado SSL. Pero en general muy buena plataforma.

### "Lost Money "

June 6, 2019

1.0

They sold us on security upgrades and then they did not work but allowed my users to see sensitive info and then promised a refund that we never forgot - The bait and switch is on the slide bar if you do monthly and accidently pay for a year they will not refund you even though they say they will ... The Rep does nothing but give you the automated run around. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Pros

None they will sell you on features that do not work

Cons

Everything - you will never get to speak to a manager at all and will give you the run around and promise a refund then nothing.

### "Pretty easy app builder for the basics"

March 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

I wouldn't call this the most detailed app builder. There are other applications that can do much more. However, this was super easy to build and use. If you want easy, then this is the application that you need to use. Also has a good line of social networking features built in.

Cons

Super, super basic. It is also very new. As such, when you have a problem, your only support option is to go to the company itself. There really isn't much of a community in place yet.
