Pros

“Designing workflows, customizing features, and adding appointment forms or listing pages can be done visually with immediate previews. AND I ALWAYS GET MY VALUE FOR MY MONEY.”
MJ

Mystical J.

CEO

“We did not maximise or use the remaining months of the annual subscription, so we believe it is only fair and reasonable to receive a refund for the unused portion of the subscription, or at minimum a prorated refund.”

Admin

“Agents dropped property information and lead forms onto mobile with haste, readily scheduled showings with appointments, and built client-facing apps without coders, enhancing customer experience and project time-to-market benefits.”
IS

Ignacio S.

Real Estate Agent

Pros

“Easy to use for basic app development, drag and drop style.”
DA

Daryl A.

IT Support

“BuildFire offers fascinating app-building solutions similar to bubble.io with a lot of cool and awesome features to develop business apps in almost any industry.”

“No Direct Drag and Crop functionality for adding multiple functions to a single is present.”
JT

Jyotsna T.

Executive Director

Cons

“Inability to deliver on agreed to deliverables - it took more than 12 months, multiple meetings and continuously pointing out issues that remained unfixed or undelivered before we cancelled the additional year agreement.”
TS

Theuns S.

Director

“What has been particularly disappointing is that, despite the service no longer being used and our repeated requests, Appy Pie has refused to refund the unused period.”

Admin

“The menus are confusing and poorly executed, and many locked behind paywalls with better features.”

Barry F.

Sole Proprietor

Cons

“Obviously, the sales [sensitive content hidden] was lying to us about terms & conditions, he confirmed via e-mail that we could cancel at any time.”
PM

Pierre M.

Manager

“It's a major reason why we had to deviate to a different provider”
