Good Supporting software for IoT Project

Overall, I have good experience with this IoT software. I did my project greatly and received rewards from my lecture. in spite of having some errors that I couldn't fix unless the developer does. But generally I have very nice and great experience with this software. I still use it until now to build other IoT Projects

PROS

Blynk is a friendly-user software for IoT project. I did my final project related to IoT monitoring system and I used Blynk to help it work. it is easy to use and is not complicated. All widgets provided was very clear and I have all I need there. Thanks to the developer for making such a great and easy software for IoT

CONS

I had one problem when I did my project. it was when I used bluetooth HC05 as a wireless connector between My arduino and blynk. at that time HC05 could not be used because blynk is under development for this widgets only. I couldn't switch to Wifi because I don't have it at home. so I used bluetooth module. Hopefully now the developer will make some developments on every widget available in Blynk.

Great product! But there plenty of room for improvement

It was so much fun!

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)

Nice app for IoT

Instead of buying expensive devices, this app allows you to build IoT devices using simple electronical parts. That's great.

PROS

It has a big community where you can share you coding issues and receive answers. Also, it's very flexible...you can use a lot of Arduino boards and play with different projects.

CONS

Monthly subscriptions. Initially, you could buy some points and with those points get permanent elements (buttons, graphs). Now, you need to have this subscription.

The best IoT application in the market, smooth, fast, responsive and easy

I loved using Blynk due to it's quick and fast setup. I didn't need to go through manuals/ tutorials to work on it.

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.
