Very goo IoT application for most situations

Very good service to get a mobile app up and running quickly and interfaces well with blynk specific firmware IoT devices. Does however require external services such as Node-Red to perform more complex operations or as a gateway to non blynk firmware or communications such as MQTT

Pros:
1. It allows easy interfacing options for tons of hardware devices. 2. The software is feature rich with the availability of tons of widgets. 3. The community support and documentation is super useful. 4. The coding structure is easy to understand and the change in hardware does not involve a major change in the underlying Blynk code. 5. Server side programming is available.(changing pins on the app allows to gather and send data at different pins without the need to add it to the code) 6. Worth every penny!
Cons:
1. I believe that the cost of custom app development can be reduced specially for the individual needs. 2. The team can think from an education perspective so as to bring Blynk easily in IoT training.

Pros:
1) Blynk allows to Integrate some pretty impressive features in the project at a record time, mainly because the use of it's available widgets will dramatically reduce the amount of code to be written 2) for the same reasons mentioned above, Blynk can be a powerful tool to introduce absolute arduino beginners to a lot of principles and allows them to use these functionalities without the need to learn everything before 3) the amount of customization possibilities offered by blynk is very superior to any other available app
Cons:
I think they can offer more widgets for completely direct communication between the device and the smartphone (Mainly I'm talking about Bluetooth). Also i really wish that they consider offering a widget for reading from the phone's serial USB terminal so we can have the possibility to read data from the device by connecting it to the smartphone by OTG cable (at least in the Android version of the app)

Pros:
I cam across this software during the deployment of my final year project, this platform provides an easiest way to plot and visualize the data, logging and remote controlling of IOT devices. It saves me during my FYP evaluation.
Cons:
Although the software was good but the energy balance is limited in free tier and being student it is difficult to finance the Blynk app. U can just add button and 1 or 2 graphs in unpaid version

Reasons for choosing Blynk

Following are the main reasons: 1. User-friendly 2. A lot of support available online 3. Easy to integrate with the hardware without any customization of hardware

Pros:
My first contact with Blynk was when I learned to program Arduino devices. It allows you to control hardware chips with ease. You can also gather and show data obtained from sensors for further analysis. I liked from Blynk that you can use the widgets they provide or program at your own needs. Also the libraries serve for many purposes.
Cons:
Depending on your computer and operating system, it may be difficult to setup Blynk so that it can correctly connect with your IoT device. But this is a one-time setup, so once you achieve it there's no need to repeat the process.

Pros:
The only Application where I did In-App Purchases ever, it's so easy to set up on multiple devices. Get the Authentication code, upload it on your device, drag - and - drop and you're done. The best part is for safety reasons you can also set up a local-host, no need to run on the cloud when you can run on the machine. At one point I had my whole house covered with home-automation devices on ESP8266, with shared Blynk screens with family.
Cons:
No, I don't have anything which I felt missing in the software.
