Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I think in the world we live in, our customers are going to expect instant loads and may not come back to something that take seconds... Which seems super silly but it is what it is. There also has been quite a few glitches with our app. I have never developed an app, so perhaps this is normal. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how easy it is to use buildfire and work with the team. They are great. #### Cons The app can be fairly slow at times and according to the team, there is no fix to this... --- ### Poor customer service, glitchy experience - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Jimmy H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I love the idea of an app like this, and was excited to try it out...On paper, everything looks good with Buildfire. Now it has almost been a month since we made the jump to a paid plan and it has been just one hurdle and headache after another. Long review short, their customer service has been appalling and the app has been glitchy and filled with problems. I deal with apps like this and their customer service teams on a weekly basis, and to me, the Buildfire team is as poor as it gets. Despite having "Premium Support" at this plan level, I am lucky to get more than 1 or 2 responses a day on their chat or via email in regard to fairly straight forward issues. Half the time their responses are irrelevant to the subject at hand, or I am told they forwarded it to another team, who then never actually does anything. It genuinely feels like they don't care and are making no effort to actually help. Their failure to really do anything to help has delayed our pretty basic app from launching for multiple weeks. Some of the reasons it has been denied has been for basic features that fail to meet app requirement guidelines. My patience has run out and I am resorting to leaving these reviews as maybe this will wake them up and actually help out a paying customer. I wish we had found another solution, instead of wasting countless hours and headaches with this company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I love the concept, I want this to work well and I completely understand the value a mobile app builder like this brings to the world. #### Cons The customer service is among the worst I have experienced in my professional career. Despite paying for premium support, I am lucky to get 1 or 2 messages a day, and I am even luckier if that response is even relevant to my original question or actually solves or helps the problem at hand. Their failure to help a new user has made the process of trying to get our app approved almost one month long, with the issues we've encountered being fairly simple. I understand tech has a steep learning curve, have built websites and have experience building similar digitial setups. Having a strong customer service team or at least decent is vital in this day and age. I feel the experience with Buildfire has fallen short in every way and as a result I am leaving this review instead of having the power to fix the issues I am experiencing. --- ### Awesome!!! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jackie K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love this platform because I was able to build an app without coding. I didn't spend money on additional training. The app maintenance is well priced --- ### i am a satisfied customer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Catharine S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I was going to give buildfire 3 stars because I had trouble using their dashboard, but ever since they launched the new 3.0 version of the dashboard, it's way easier and offering additional features that we hadn't thought about - that really enhanced the quality of the product and customer experience. --- ### This app is just marvelous! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Imam Al F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered App building at ease without any coding required. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This app is just simply great! The best thing is that I am a beginner in coding but still I was able to make an app with Buildfire! App delivery is easy. No hassle. Customer support is also great. I was stuck, I needed help and I found out that there is always someone to help. Tons of ways to customize from the given widgets and templates. With Buildfire anyone is able to create a big fortune with a little cost. #### Cons It needs some time to get used to with the interface of the editor as a lot of customization widgets and templates are given. Better video support would be really helpful. --- ### An amazing and intuitive piece of software to use for building applications. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chantelle C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Not only is the BuildFire app incredibly easy to use with its intuitive dashboard, but I was extremely impressed when I found out that there were a good amount of templates to choose from. I figured that you would end up getting just the bare bones, but no you can actually customize each template as you develop your application. As my application grew during development, I was able to tweak the design to fit in the features I wanted. #### Cons The only con that I came across was that it took me quite a bit of time to get used to how the editor worked. However, their great customer support was able to answer my questions. --- ### I attracted by this management solution strategy.It fulfills my requirements. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Maria L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It quickly filters the options bt the features, price & quality i need.It selects products to compare side by side. #### Cons The site it can improveis the UI desing & It can offer a online course for teaching the code for the beginners. Without this all are excellent. --- ### An amazing app building platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: UMAIR N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It just saved a lot of money which I was going to spend for training and hiring app developers. #### Cons it took me a little time to get used to the editor but once I read its blog I immediately was on the go. --- ### It is just an awesome app for building an app - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Pradeep P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Hope this will develop more and give more comfort for the users in future. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Awesome! I have used many platforms but this is the one I am most satisfied with. For beginners like me this is the best platform. I built many apps quick and easy. Mostly the time should be spent in coding. But when I started this one all coding are done by them which is much better than anyone. #### Cons It took time for me to understand the editor at the beginning. Now, I totally cleared all my problems. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 129 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/app-development/buildfire-profile/reviews/) ## Buildfire Popular Comparisons [Essential Studio vs Buildfire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/app-development/buildfire-profile/vs/essential-studio/)[GitHub vs Buildfire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/app-development/buildfire-profile/vs/github/)[Microsoft Visual Studio vs Buildfire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/77292-buildfire/vs/410128-microsoft-visual-studio/)[IntelliJ IDEA vs Buildfire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/app-development/buildfire-profile/vs/intellij-idea/)[Appy Pie vs Buildfire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/artificial-intelligence/appy-pie-profile/vs/buildfire/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/app-development/buildfire-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
