I love working with Draftbit. I have found the team to be so professional and friendly. It has a community that I am proud to be a part of and I wish to help see it grow.

Draftbit is a great way to get into PWAs and Mobile apps no matter your skill level. I have found that it is intuitive enough to allow for extensive customisation without much coding skills required. I also found that if you need to go into code and add in your own, Draftbit has supplied a really good way to do this. It presents itself as an easy to use tool to prototype and even create production ready apps, yet it has so many complexities woven into it, that it can many very large use cases.

I feel like a custom plugin / extension marketplace should be implemented. I would for one love to be able to reuse custom components I have made with custom code in other projects but they do not always import across well.

I'm currently building an app with Draftbit to push the features. So far, it's been good. I've been able to do everything I need to because Draftbit allows me to use custom code if they don't have what I need prebuilt.

Connecting to external API's are easy in Draftbit. The component library is good and it's growing. If you're familiar with CSS Flex Box then you'll be right at home laying out components. I also like that I can write custom code and components if what I'm needing isn't already created by Draftbit.

I think the component library needs to improve, that is, add more components. When building for iOS you have to create custom back buttons to add interactivity, that should be a standard feature. State management takes some getting use to if you come from a React Native background and using state management solutions like Redux.

It is sad that they use this technology's and scam people. Its entertaining to see another scam on the internet.

This is just another FTX , they take your money and no customer service. Impossible to get the ownership information to file criminal charges. If they were a responsible company they would supply there ownership information and contact information so that you can make them responsible in court for their fraudulent business practices.

They pretend they are a real solution, but in fact its a numbers games, they get more money coming in with no customer service. Hostgator and AWS have customer service, draftbit does not.

Unlike other no code builders, Draftbit gives you control and creative freedom. You are not stuck in templates or limited functionality that forces you to do things a certain way. Yes, there is a learning curve, but being able to do exactly what you want is worth it!

Some under the hood specifics (like sync/async in the function stack) are not well explained in the docs and have to be discovered in debugging.

Super positive overall. It lowers the barrier to entry and all of the headaches that usually come with app dev. Draftbit has a great community forum and their customer-facing team members are super helpful and receptive to ideas of how the product and support tools can be improved.

Having the source code was the main reason I went with Draftbit. I've used a handful of other low-code/no-code tools in the past, and source code was the main decision maker that made Draftbit the clear choice. I also liked that I could make multiple apps under a subscription with them.

I wish I could export an app or screen I've built as a template that I can use in other apps.

It hasn't been smooth sailing but it's a much better option than hiring a front-end developer or going with other low-code softwares that don't offer as much flexibility as Draftbit does.

We contemplated of hiring a front-end developer but as a start up, we wanted to find low cost alternatives so we turn to low-code softwares. We tried several low-code platforms before deciding on Draftbit. We were looking for a platform that would speed up our dev while saving us time and money. Although other platforms had stunning templates, most of them did not allow us to own our source code. It was imperative that our work belonged to us and Draftbit allowed that. We particularly like the templates and the ability to customize them. One thing I appreciate from Draftbit is their customer service. They're very responsive and have worked closely with us to resolve issues.

Although Draftbit aims to save users time, navigating around Draftbit dev and design limitations has slowed us down for our first project. We ran into bugs that Draftbit has overlooked. We spent 2-3 months to develop three screens for our app which could have been resolved if Draftbit was more sophisticated - however, I'm confident they'll get there. Given that they are still in beta, Draftbit offers more than expected. They currently provide basic features and I do hope they'll release more templates in the near future such as more interaction/animation options as it's highly trending in design. Draftbit is priced a bit higher than its competitors but they offer more flexibility and customization that would help us in the long run. We wish they had more affordable plans.

fantastic.

I really enjoyed working with the team of experts that draft bit linked me to. They have given me fantastic customer service and helped me truly get my project from start to finish. As a non-technical founder, this has been immensely valuable to me as they have foreseen issues before I would have faced them in production.

nothing so far. there is a slight learning curve to using the product but would be worth it to take the minor effort to get past that curve.

Draftbit has allowed us to expand from lowcode web design and app wireframing into full stack app design. We can now design and launch full native apps rapidly and cheaply.

Draftbit allows you to build and launch straight to the App Store and Playstore without ever leacing the platform or writing a line of code. It integrates with any APIs to build powerful applications with any backend. It also creates clean code you can export and use anywhere.

Like any lowcode tool there is some learning to get really comfortable with it. However the support and frequent updates make it a great tool to learn quickly.

Having access to the app's source code is quite important because that means there's no "platform lock-in", which I think is one of Draftbit's main strength. Users won't ever need to worry that Draftbit might close shop one day and the code is lost. It's one thing to promise that Draftbit will be around for a "long time", but another to have some sort of assurance that our code will always be available to export. Having it in React Native is also quite an important point since that means one code base is sufficient for iOS and Android. For the Draftbit subscription, seeing the engagement in the community as well as the response time, sincerity of the responses, and how the entire(!) team jumps in to help all the users with their challenges was very assuring. So the single most important thing is the team behind Draftbit and the team's dedication.

The drag and drop feature coupled with flexbox capabilities are Draftbit's biggest strength when it comes to building UI. The builder is blazing fast, and the platform offers many options to preview your mobile app. The changes are applied in real-time so it speeds up any UI building workflow.

Currently, there's a small feature set compared to established players in the market. Also, the progressive web app (PWA) solution doesn't support custom domain yet.

Being able to deploy a reliable PWA in a fraction of the time coding it would take. You only need to concentrate on the logic and business rules. Bulding, deployment and running it is solved.

Learning curve is high. It takes some days to understand how to build efficient screens and flows.

Great experience thus far. Awesome customer support as Pro members.

The ability to rapidly develop the basic structure of our app with no code, add in more complicated custom features using code, and export the entire project for deployment or modifcation.

Many standard features are being added, but often times it feels like there are some key features that are missing that can make it slightly annoying to use. One example is when we wanted to make a flatlist that disabled scroll, the feature wasn't available. Fortuneatly, we were able to just recreate the code in the custom code editor, but still, a very annoying problem that could be solved from a single feature. That being said, features are added pretty frequently, but I recommend if your app requires a certain feature, check with the team first to see if it's available. If not you may need to hard code it.

Overall, I would say Draftbit was a great investment. It speeds up a lot of the app development process, especially on the front end side. It's relatively easy to use, though depending on the complexity of your app, some coding knowledge is needed. I do wish there was more control in certain configurations in the builder, such as app.JSON changes, and version control would also be ideal without having to make copies of things.

- The ability to download all of the source code. - The front end builder largely makes front end development obsolete. - Third party integrations that don't require any code. - The ability to implement my own custom logic - Testing with Expo Go is very useful. - Active community

- Some integrations aren't featyure complete yet(e.g. Firebase) - You can't import projects. - Some builder features are clunky (e.g. adding multiple actions). - Some low code features can be obtuse, requiring actual coding knowledge to dig through the source code to understand them. - Some basic features like background gradients are absent. - No good way to collaborate on a project with others

It's Ok, but I'll rate it at 5 out of 10

The inspiration given to people to still have hope that it's possible to build application without code, with it's amazing integration.

The price is on a high side for those who can't afford it.

It's the best way I know of to build a react native app without code. It's especially powerful for the no/low-coder because it integrates with Xano, a fantastic no-code backend. Combined, you can create just about any app you want.

I'd like to see more templates and better conditional formatting options. Both of these requests are in their queue to add soon. The team and community of users is very active and helpful in debugging problems and adding new features.

Is a fantastic software. Just the speed is a consern for us.

Super easy to use. As a product manager is very simple to integrate data.

I see as a BIG challenge the speed to open the app and loading pictures and video. From the perspective of a user if the app takes time to open our user would prefer maybe to open the app in a browser

Ease of building a new app and the scalability to make better apps in the future.

Documentation for certain updates is missing at times.

Really nice people and very helpful

Build mobile web apps within hours without coding. I took part in the second chord to build and deploy an app within five days. This was great.

It took me a while to learn how to submit my apps.

Outstanding company with a dedicated team. Nothing but great things to say about working with them.

It has made it possible to build an app very quickly. Much faster and easier than manual coding. It gives my customers a visual, working app with play with in the shortest amount of time but doesn't limit me in adding any feature I need.

Source control features are getting better but still limited for my purpose.

I have been working on designing and building a personal project.

Draftbit makes it very easy to lay out the views of your application, and even integrating with an external database is pretty simple and quick. The support docs and community are very helpful.

Figuring out where you went wrong or what is causing the app to not function as expected is near impossible. I have started creating the same app 3 times now, and when I get to setting up user logins and reading/posting dynamic user data, I hit a roadblock and can't figure out what is going wrong.

Draftbit is still one of the easiest ways to design and launch a fully customized mobile app.

Easy start templates Easy to connect with external data sources Building components are easy to use The ability to download source code is a game-changer! Design tools are powerful, but easy to use

More templates could be helpful Apps are deleted after a relatively short period of non-use.

I've had a great experience with Draftbit it's help me quickly put together apps without having to have the latest version of node installed or the right packages etc. I also like the fact that you can build upon the exisiting features with React Native.

Visually being able to bring app ideas to life!

The editor is not quite drag and drop yet but hopefully that will get there.
