Shocking experience. I was pressured into paying when I explicitly said I wasn’t ready for the app. A refund of 50% was eventually agreed and they never paid. Horrible experience l

### Great product, very good for quickly making smaller apps or prototypes

- Overall rating: 5/5

If you need to develop a fast prototype or a smaller app - I would try doing it with Shoutem.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

You can drag&drop components and build your app very quickly - and it runs on Android, iOS and as a HTML5 web app. Many things that come out-of-the-box, like location-based services, push notifications, and multiple content integration options a real time-savers.

#### Cons

It takes a bit of time to get used to their UI, and I don't like that their pricing doesn't have an iOS only option (the have Androind only option).

### Great for a Starting App

#### Pros

It was great to get my company going as it's affordable and easy to use. I loved that it had location info and message boards for my users to access. The simple design was great for me as an early designer.

#### Cons

Wished there was more options with the design. Limited to what you could do. Their team didn't always get updates out that they said they would in a timely fashion.

#### Pros

The only good thing about the system is that they upload your app to Google and Apple stores for you. You save money and time

#### Cons

Many things. The first the system is not friendly at all. The customer service is really bad. Everything is based on emails and you have to have a lot of patience to be answered. Currently, they have two versions and both are complicated. I do not recommend it unless you have a very good team of designers and programmers who support you

Shoutem allowed me to build some very basic white-labelled apps for my clients. I didn't need to know a lot of code and it was easy to mockup designs.
