Bubble

Like using Figma to design an app but it's functional

Commenti: If you have good ideas paired with the time and desire to learn how to build your own app in Bubble, it is a fantastic, very empowering tool. Developing apps is hard, but Bubble makes developing an app without prior app development experience a lot less painful than you might expect. It definitely helps to tap in to the community for support and tutorials.

Aspetti positivi:

Plain language expression composing and drag and drop design.

Aspetti negativi:

My own inexperience with app logic has been the only difficulty using Bubble.

Bubble gets you a website fast!

Commenti: For an entrepreneur Bubble is a wonderful alternative to hiring an espensive developer who takes alot of work to make changes with.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked that as a founder I could easily design with a college student what I wanted to to look like and I found a competent developer who made the mvp. After the mvp a local designer/developer has been redesigning and deploying a wonderful marketplace search engine.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes Bubble goes down but I believe it's quickly fixed.

Why Bubble.io is highly over priced

Commenti: The software is great except for the new responsive builder that's horrible and the extremely high hosting fees. Especially now that the rand/dollar has worsen. Imagine paying $16,000 dollars a month for your software. Does that make sense to you? That's what it's costing us and it's ruining our and many other business that are really good at developing software.

Aspetti positivi:

It helps us build software for clients with way less developers on a project due to bubbles ease of use and speed to develop complex platforms.

Aspetti negativi:

What bubble makes up in speed of development it reduces the scalability of it. Bubble is 10X more expensive than any other software we use. Bubble costs us more in hosting than our office rent making it almost impossible for us to sell it to a client and we have lost a lot of clients due to bubbles expensive rates.

Great for quick MVPs and full Enterprise-solutions. The more I use it the more I'm convinced how valuable bubble.io is.

Commenti: Bubble is ideal for building well functioning apps in very short time. Once you master the basics, it's really easy to set up fully functioning programs and workflows in days, and not months.
If you're looking to build Enterprise-ready apps, the bubble stack security features are a great asset.
With bubble I was able to test different programs and solutions quickly, without having to pay thousands for a full stack developed solution

Aspetti positivi:

As a startup founder, I've been using Bubble.io for more than 2 years, from small prototypes all the way to enterprise solution that satisfied the strictest due diligence requirements. I've very rarely found technical limitations, and most of the time there's a workaround that allows you to achieve what you need. I've been able to set up APIs and connect with other systems in very short time The platform and support is growing like crazy.

Aspetti negativi:

Initially, it has a learning curve, but if you have a coding background, it's easy to get used to the bubble logic. Some procedures are a guess work. Sometimes it's not clear how to do certain steps, and documentation does not cover all the cases

A great no-code platform to build MVPs and more

Commenti: I started Bubble to build my company's app. Now that it's up and running I'm a full time bubble freelancer. I really love my job, I work on a lot of different apps and it's a real pleasure to open my bubble editor every day. My clients are super satisfied.

Aspetti positivi:

What was most important for me at the beginning is that you can really build anything you want. I tried no code platforms before but there was always something that I couldn't do and my clients were disappointed. Now with bubble anything they ask, I can build. With the new responsive engine it's super easy to build beautiful apps in no time that work on all devices.

Aspetti negativi:

I think the learning curve is pretty steep. When you start you immediately see the potential of Bubble but to achieve what you really want, you need to work a lot and learn a lot.

Most user friendly no-code platform I know

Commenti: I'm a developer since 2012 and started using Bubble in 2020. I fell in love for how fast I'm able to build prototypes for my ideias and how easy it is to develop on it.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use and deploy apps. Good design editor for responsive pages. Has front-end and back-end features. Easy to integrate with REST APIs. Vast plugin marketplace.

Aspetti negativi:

A bit slow for loading pages, specially on mobile. No native apps. A bit rigid on data manipulation.

Changed my life

Commenti: Totally transformed my career. I am so grateful to the bubble team!

Aspetti positivi:

Absolutely the best nocode tool on the market. Totally changed my life. Allowed me to build a valuable software company as a non-technical founder.

Aspetti negativi:

There are weaknesses, but the pros FAR outweigh the cons.Xano.com and TheBDK.com really shine where Bubble is sometimes weak.

Put simply, this is the future

Commenti: Super good, it has allowed me to build a startup from zero.

Aspetti positivi:

Bubble is easy to learn and use, even if don't have any coding skills or knowledge. This customer support is super good and fast. Design and functionalities is notoriously customer/user-centered.

Aspetti negativi:

I'd like to have it on a Spanish version.

Simply the best No-code tool and customer service on earth...

Commenti: My experience with Bubble could not be better. On top of the software which is probably the best on the market, the customer service is just amazing. They answer quickly, they provide detailed answers and they are nice.

Aspetti positivi:

I'm not a developer and I developed a complex APP on my own. I said it all. Bubble simply changes entrepreneurs' lives.

Aspetti negativi:

For me Bubble does not have cons but I must answer to that question. If you have no clue about coding, maybe it takes some time to understand how to use the software. Once you know how to use it, the possibilities you've got to create an APP are ilimited

Easy of learning if you already have some basics

Commenti: Very good. Always eager to learn more and curious to know what will be the next releases from the team!

Aspetti positivi:

The flexibility. You can basically build anything.

Aspetti negativi:

The content of the learning center and from video tutorials are only for beginners when you start already dominate bubble but you still have lots of room for improvement is quite difficult to find content

Happy freelance bubble developer

Commenti: well it was a tough journey but I managed to learn it and now I enjoy it very much

Aspetti positivi:

that I can code complex stuff (relatively) by putting logic block on paper and than on bubble and it works

Aspetti negativi:

fact it is bounded in its flexibility but It would not be so easy to use

Really nifty bit of kit

Commenti: Overall, I’m really impressed with what I’ve been able to build without needing to employ a team and for minimal cost. Happy customer.

Aspetti positivi:

I was initially really interested in the template options that Bubble has available. For me, it was always a lot better to build on an existing model than create something from scratch, even if the template didn’t really resemble my desired outcome in any way. Seeing a framework and how it was put together really helped me conceptualise a way to construct something approximating the kind of system I needed to build. I also really liked the native functionality and API options to extend the capabilities of systems I could build.

Aspetti negativi:

The system is at times very clunky and there are definitely things that could be improved, like the speed of the system (even with only a couple of users) and hidden elements appearing for a split second on page load before being hidden again but it’s all things you learn to work around. Also, although it’s supposedly “no-code” and “no prior experience necessary” and all that jazz, it definitely a software you have to study extensively to understand… I’ve been building on this for over a year and I’m still in the dark about 40% of it‘s functionality, it’s a little misleading to say it’s for novices. Also they could make a few common integrations a bit more accessible/complete. The collective time saved if they curated and refined their integrations a bit more would be much appreciated.

A good way to build an MVP

Commenti: We iterate MVPs from concept to deployment in Bubble for various startup product ideas

Aspetti positivi:

* user logins out of the box * can deploy an API in a few clicks * support for repeating groups / data * super great for getting from 0 to 1 for almost any app

Aspetti negativi:

Our biggest frustrations with Bubble are: * extent to which we have to copy and paste instead of reuse elements * lack of change management for custom code inside of modules, e.g., custom JS * currently there is no way to interact with GraphQL APIs * no way to get paid / priority support from team * some issues with point & click UI

My review for bubble

Commenti: Bubble helped me develop custom apps to build my career

Aspetti positivi:

I like that there are so much functions that we dont have to code, the learning curve is a little long but really worth it!

Aspetti negativi:

Maybe the workflow editor, the ability to categorize some workflows

For "no code" development, Bubble is hard to beat

Commenti: In the past year I have built a complete new startup from the ground up exclusively in Bubble and have also built another client solution to replace their FileMaker Pro system and now have two more clients looking to do the same. Bubble allows for very speedy prototyping and development, and clients love this. It is especially useful being able to show live changes whilst in calls with little or no delay. Although this can work against me as some clients then believe everything is as easy and quick to do!

Aspetti positivi:

The community is very active, friendly and helpful. Training material is in good supply with some excellent tutors.

Aspetti negativi:

Performance and limitations on features within different pricing tiers can out-price it for some projects. Plugins are unreliable and easily broken, unless "Built by Bubble", ruling out many very promising and useful third-party offerings.

Bubble

Aspetti positivi:

Currently the only NoCode solution that isn't limited to templates and templating.

Aspetti negativi:

Imagined for non developers but requiring developer understanding to really make the best use of. It is currently in between these two target markets and needs to support devs/agencies more.

Bubble is my favorite and most efficient tool

Commenti: Perfect

Aspetti positivi:

Support is amazing and always helpful. We see that all the investments that the company receives, they put into improving the tool itself, the feature quality and public interest. Also, we really like how they help people learn how to use it properly and improve the flaws the community sometimes points out. I have been using it for more than 5 years now, and I haven't found a better alternative, and probably won't be have to in the upcoming years.

Aspetti negativi:

It could be a bit faster in loading time.

Difference Maker

Aspetti positivi:

I needed an application that I could build myself to save costs.With bubble I can do all the coding, design and deployments by myself. Additionally I neededo rhe software to be workflow intensive and UI complex.With Bubble I was able to accomplish all thise things and am now running a very profitable business.

Aspetti negativi:

Some things required creative workarounds. Also the pricing at the highest tier is more expensive than I would like.

A game changer for non-technical founders

Commenti: Bubble is one of those products that came along and changed my life. Before bubble, I was dependent on developers or low-functionality app builders. Once I discovered and learned to use Bubble, I was capable of building, from the ground up, a complete B2B SaaS web app that is now generating revenue for my company. It's easy to get started, the community and docs are fantastic, the ability to integrate with other systems is strong, and it is overall a great app dev experience.

Aspetti positivi:

Bubble is easy to use, incredibly powerful, and unlocks capabilities for non-technical individuals that would take an experienced coder much longer to implement. The basic building blocks are rock solid and work together seamlessly on the platform (e.g. user management, databases, workflows, drag & drop design, API connections, privacy rules, etc). It's a fantastic experience and very powerful.

Aspetti negativi:

Most of these are being actively worked on, but some disadvantages are:- Managing styling and responsive design can be challenging- Debugging when using external tools/integrations can be difficult without access to system logs- When apps become more complex, managing large numbers of workflows/pages/data types can become somewhat cumbersome (note that this is when you have 30 pages, hundreds of workflows, and 50 data types)

Most powerful No Code platform out there

Aspetti positivi:

The simplicity with which you can build apps. There is a learning curve but once you learn, there is no stopping back.

Aspetti negativi:

Very slow if you have to manipulate 1000s of records at once.

Best no-code app

Commenti: Very good overall experience

Aspetti positivi:

- Very customizable- Very reliable- Almost no limit for usual apps thanks to API Connector and JS

Aspetti negativi:

- Playing with JSON and custom states in Bubble is sometimes painful. It is often easier to transform into Bubble objects, but then we loose lot of JS advantages

Nice product doing what it's supposed to

Commenti: Good ! As I said, the flexibility, ease to develop and release, and easy to grasp logic makes it a very powerful tool to launch new ideas !

Aspetti positivi:

Bubble is a nice product to develop, test, launch very quickly and iteratively ideas. It globally does every basic needed thing, and for what's lacking there are many plug-ins to help and a great community.I like the simple division between Design/Workflows/Data and how the logic is easily usable once understood

Aspetti negativi:

I feel like the cons are more of a misuse of Bubble than flaws of Bubble. My issues today are how to integrate my Bubble products with classic internal product with their lengthy cycles of development.Performance issues can happen if data tables are not well-thought and not suited for the Repeating Groups it's used in or with too much complexity in a page, but that shows limit of scaling that is inherent to a no-code tool1 con that is kind of painful : my data tables were set with lengthy field names and now every time I modify an existing database entry, half of the filed names are cut.. Small formatting fix or line break could really help :)

Best no-code tool for app development

Aspetti positivi:

Learning Bubble doesn’t happen in one night, however the superpowers you get are incredible. I come from a no-tech background and managed to launch a complex marketplace and later on found a job as bubble developer in another startup. Dedicate 1-2 months to learn it, you will never regret it!!I also like the fact that new features and updates are coming in all the time, and when you are stuck with existing tools, most probably a plugin is out there!

Aspetti negativi:

- It took a few weeks to learn it- SEO, meta etc can be further improved

Bubble is enabling my projects to come true

Commenti: In 6 months I read the entire manual for Bubble and did the Airdev bootcamp. With this knowledge I now feel completely prepare to develop all my needs in terms of external facing systems and internal ERP systems. It is important though to have a good background on data management to keep the good performance of the system.

Aspetti positivi:

I´m single handedly developing a startup. My operation is running without any problem and I am using an extremely low budget to maintain the system and operate it with other devices. Bubble is truly unbelievable (when combined with Airdev templates).

Aspetti negativi:

It is a little difficult to find information on the inner operations of the system, which makes it a bit hard to truly become an expert. The system can also be a bit slow to first load, which can make you loose a few users.

Worth your time!

Aspetti positivi:

Bubble is relatively easy to use. There are some good resources on Youtube. It is quite powerful. The new responsive engine is welcomed and getting better.

Aspetti negativi:

Could be faster. It has a bit of a learning curve, but that comes with extra power. Lacks some CSS properties that would be nice to have.
