Superb Experience

Great Experience I must say. Got my mobile app with ease and in timely fashion without any bugs. BuildFire also provides exceptional customer support as they are able to respond in prompt manner and with clear concise proper guidance. I am extremely grateful for giving me a great platform to build my own app without the involvement of any developers.

Con of BuildFire 1. Takes a while for the app to get published if guidelines and process is not followed properly by the user.

I signed up with them back early before their new version of the dashboard launched. Back then, I would've definitely given them not so much of a positive review because of the difficulty with the whole interface. But after the new 3.0 version of the dashboard, it’s way easier. Things have definitely improved for the better, it seems almost intuitive.

I was reluctant at the beginning as I have no coding skills and thought this would be essential in order to build an app. I was really surprised with how easy it was and how intuitive the dashboard is. Also, they offer a great support all the way through so if you think you’d not be able to develop an app, you are mistaken as it’s pretty easy with Buildfire.

Powerfull and rich

When I came to know about the build fire platform I was little reluctant at first. But then I went to their website and started the live message they were very cooperative and they guided me really well about my app development process. I signed up for the build fire and managed to build my custom app with the help of professionals very easily. The fun fact is that I never needed to worry with the development phase. They handed it really well. The people working there are very supportive and cooperative. If you to start somewhere give them a try.

Overall I had a great experience

Overall I had a great experience using BuildFire. I really love their innovation in services and care to their customers. They know how to make a good business caring their valuable customers. They understand me, my requirements and deliver me what I exactly need. The app is easy to use and I was able to build a mobile app pretty quick for my course and published it in less than a week. Really they are best in their business.

best app building site ever!

Ever since buildfire launched the new 3.0 version of the dashboard, it has become a more user-friendly interface. this interface requires no coding experience. it is great customers looking to operate their own startups at their own pace. I run an e-commerce business so finding the right tools to make it was vital. Their customer service is wonderful and will be there to assist you with any problem you may come across. I had an issue with trying to change the font of my category titles. After calling customer service who I must admit are very professional; I figured out everything I needed as they walked me through it. The interface comes with a wide variety of starter templates for your apps. This is great for individuals who are not as creative as the average graphic designer, or if you just want to find a certain style that fits the exact taste your looking for. I love building apps through this interface. I want to recommend this to beginners, or even experienced coders looking for the easier route to developing apps. I literally have no complainants at all coming from this website. With this interfaces easy delivery and low development cost, I can not help but give Buildfire a 10 out of 10 review!

As expected.

What I like the most is the fact that I don't know any coding and I can make an app I want. I had an idea for a while, but it was really hard for me to learn to code. In addition, BuildFire provides great customer support. When I needed help I just started a live message thread and someone replied right away to help me. Only thing is it takes a little time for me to get used to the editor. Overall of a good platform.

Great experience!

I really like this platform, because I understood that it saved me a lot of valuable time, and now I have at least one or two extra hours a day that I can spend with my children.
I know its really hard to learn how to code. BuildFire solved this problem since you have to know very less or no coding at all. Also, they have pretty good customer support.

Would recommand! A+

Amazing difference with the new version 3.0! Easy to use and you don't need to be an expert to use it. Even my grandma could use it. :)) In addition, the customer service is excellent. I had to mention this because the staff has always been friendly with me and they have helped me a lot. They solved all my problems. I'm very satisfied. Thank you!

What I liked the most about this …

What I liked the most about this developing platform is the fact that I could finally realize my app project within our start-up budget. Guys, don’t forget that there is also maintenance cost, which is still very reasonable. The guys from the support were kinda firm, but helpful. Overall the publishing time was about 2-3 weeks. Great look on the 3.0 dashboard.

Speechless. Amazing!

Okay. So here's the thing. Its a superb app. Must have it. Why? Because it is one of those things that can get you up and running with your ideas, without even having a coding background. You just get it, get used to a simple editor(yet superb), implement your ideas onto and BOOM! You have your app ready without any code. I must say its the most complete app I have ever seen. There overall support has been awesome as well. I would rate it 5/5 for this service.

I was 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 now. I also received proper help from their support team. Great experience so far.

Great Tool

At first, I had trouble using their dashboard, but, ever since the new 3.0 version of the dashboard came out, it’s way easier and more convenient. I am glad that I am able to develop the app myself without any developers. This keeps the costs very low and being a start up company, this is one of the best solutions to have. I don’t have any coding background but have been able to successfully use buildfire to develop an app.
The drawback is the time one might need to spend on the editor and the process of learning a new thing.
It is very useful indeed!

An ideal and affordable app solution

BuildFire is the ideal app solution even for newbies. It is my first app and it came out great thanks to them. Every element is predefined and I just had to follow the instructions. There are a decent number of options to choose from, but we can customize if we want to go more fancy. The customer support team was helpful and assisted with patience, It was worth every penny spent
