Softr Features

- Product is sadistically simple to use. - The plug n' play content blocks available within the dashboard save a ton of time conceptualising a website experience. - Small thing, but they way CTA buttons just magically adjust to the size of text is a superstar feature. - if you're a marketer or entrepreneur, Softr helps you get your MVP up and running super fast. - Biggest of them all, it reduces dependency on the multiple teams required to build you a website.

- Now that they've made desktop so easy, begs the question - How CAN THIS HAPPEN FOR MOBILE TOO? Maybe we're asking for too much but if Softr achieves this seamlessness for mobile devices, it would render so many other apps useless! - Maybe consider adding a place where we can source and customise illustrations as well.

In roughly the same amount of time it takes to watch a YouTube tutorial from another no-code provider, Softr gives you the ability to quickly put together an application. With many advanced use cases, they are quick to deploy, simple to use, and still have a good learning curve. In terms of the support I've received on Softr, despite using hundreds of SaaS platforms and products, none of them even come close. If you're working with Airtable and want to create a front-end connection to it, look no further than Softr.

Several of the design components don't function properly. Several of the blocks I utilise for the desktop version are not particularly well optimised for mobile. There are certain functional and aesthetic restrictions, but in the little time I've been using it, they've incorporated regular updates and enhancements to make the user experience better.

The Simplicity of creating a website, deploying, and making updates in real-time. This is all very smooth. I use Softr for making landing pages that are sent to specific user groups in my Airtable. Softr working smoothly with Airtable makes this a piece of cake for me.

Softr comes with pre-built blocks, and it's impossible to add additional functions to these blocks. You will find yourself improvising a lot with blocks to make up for its shortcomings in functionality. You may want to add a button within a "Hero block" to have two buttons leading to different parts of your website, but the block has one button and that's it! There's no way around it basically! It can be very frustrating but I guess that comes with most site-builders.

Convenience to deploy access over the Airtable base

The setting of permissions to view records for different user groups is not conveniently organized

It helped me build an MVP in a matter of hours, I only invested a small amount of time. The native Airtable integration is a killer feature compared to many other website/app builders. The user management is awesome as well, as this really gave me the opportunity to create a different app for my 2 types of users.

There could be improvement on the UX of the product, as some times this not really easy to navigate into the different pages of your app.

If you remove the fact that it solves the number one problem I have with AirTable, and that my entire trucking company uses the website I built with Softr.io, the team at Softr.io has insanely rapid new feature/functionality deployment and borderline instant customer service response time.

When I first started using Softr.io it was very limited on functionality, however the whole No Code movement was new and so there was lack of support and resources on all software. Even though there were other option to choose from, I'm glad I went with Softr.io because they have really started develop fantastic tools.

Softr works hand in hand with Airtable. With these tools combined we build product that allows clients to submit requests online and follow their status in real time. It enable effortlessly to enable editing on part (or all) of the data in Airtable, and to manage access to that data.

Softr works with predesigned blocks. So implementing your product will be very fast but a bit constrained by the existing design. You can however rely on custom code to add a few blocks or features as needed.

Flexible enough to design almost all front end interfaces you'd need for your data to be accessed by external users

There are still few rough edges, but as it's a new and fast growing company I expect they will be ironed out

The design capabilities are incredible. I'm usually a 'template' girl, but the drag-and-drop blocks are so easy-to-use and versatile. The design capabilities are endless! There are so many ways to display data - it's incredible. This is my tool from now on and will eventually replace Wordpress for me.

There was a learning curve for me using and configuring Airtable so I could display the data... (configuring columns and rows or creating formulas to turn 1 row into multiple columns, so I could display data properly.) I'm looking forward to upgraded forms with conditional logic and upgraded tables.

Softr is built on a database: Airtable. If you like excel sheets and relational tables, you can build powerful apps and processes. That's exactly what we did on Bookzdoctor Inc. We track clients' performance, checking, and have been rising very high in SEO. The flexibility and the powerful blocks with various designs allow you to create what is in your mind, without any technical barrier. The Team behind Softr, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and others are very down to earth, and always willing to help.

The least thing I like is spending so much time creating websites and webapps and perfecting our processes. It's like

Extremely simple to use + the customer service is excellent + excellent product management (every new feature is absolutely clean and perfect. There are new features every month)

For now, softr is limited to build real web apps. But it will change within 2 months with CRUD Operations release. The graphic design possibilities are also limited but this is not a problem, as the final result always looks beautiful (i think it's impossible to create ugly products with softr)

Softr is intuitive for a non-coder to be able to get up and running quickly with an app that can be customized. The integration with Airtable is amazing. I have lots of experience with building a Squarespace site, which allowed me to be familiar with blocks and adding little bits of custom code, which was helpful but not necessary. Softr has opened up a world of possibilities for creating a front-end interface for my team, my clients, and my partners. It will take time to build it all out but the end product I envision will provide my company with improved tools with a designed interface instead of spreadsheets and databases.

The limitation to Softr is the speed with which they are able to create new blocks that can be used to drop in. The Softr team works incredibly fast so it's hard to complain, but more blocks would be helpful for continued customization of my own tools and apps.

I created an employee portal for my custom Airtable CRM in just a few hours. Super easy to use and intuitive. Excellent customer service went above and beyond when I got stuck. My staff can now easily edit the complete Airtable record from an easy to navigate front-end.

I had trouble getting the user edit feature to work, but that was because I hadn't set permissions in the settings! The Softr support team helped me sort it out via chat.

The ease of use of Softr is impressive and this comes together with a great time to value. You will be able to build a simple landing page in minutes, and an MVP in hours. It comes with a lot of customization possibilities.

Softr is very good at so many things, however, in certain edge cases, it might become more challenging to use. Overall it is a great tool and ideal for an MVP.

I absolutely love the way Softr can so easily take an Airtable sheet and turn it into a beautiful web app. The software is so cool, so easy to use, and I'm hooked. I absolutely love it.

My only gripe is that the design of many of the app-design flows is basic from a UI standpoint, so either one of two things will happen. One, I will eventually switch to something more robust like a Webflow or Bubble (unlikely), or two, the Softr team will continue to upgrade their product and help with the design layouts. New blocks are being added all the time so I'm curious what will be in the future.

It's is easy to setup and offers many API to create a decent website. Excellent for start up and small businesses.

Limited capability to manage external database.

I literally created an account on softr on a whim and within 10 minutes I was already building my web app. The templates they provide (complete with an Airtable base) make it really easy to get started right away. I think this was the single biggest reason why I was able to progress so quickly on this platform. Their customer support agent [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been amazing! Although the platform is very intuitive, when I did get stuck, he's helped me solve all my problems.

So far, nothing, but I've only used Softr and Airtable. I haven't used the other integrations yet.

We were impressed with how well Softr meets our needs. We needed to build a prototype of a community, however with quite unique features. The integration with Airtable is great and gives us a lot of flexibility to show data in different formats to different types of users.

We would love a bit more flexibility in the frontend, especially in how to display elements. We would also love the possibility to select multiple elements on a page to change e.g. the visibility (for instance, in some cases we need only certain elements on a page to be visible to non-logged in users).

I like having a UI block connected to the database and having the possibility to automate other things by connecting third-party automation.

At the moment lack of deleting easily added records via Form in Airtable and flexible UI Forms with conditions

You are able to set up websites and apps within a day. It really looks very nice The real data retrieval from Airtable is great. The competitors are not able to at the moment.

I think it is not suited for a CRM for internal use. There are similar applications who do this better.

They ship new updates constantly. Seems like they ship every week

You need to be very familiar with zapier to get all the integrations you want to work

I like how it's easy to plug and play with the database info

I wish it was more room for editing inside of the blocks.
