Bubble Reviews & Product Details

Everything is simple and didactic. Very fast learning and excellent performance. The fluidity of things, the simple and powerful database.

The only thing I wish Bubble had is a place to organize custom states, better. In Power apps, for example, there is a variable organization tab.

Bubble is the solution for all spreadsheets. It's ideal for any company and we're happy to be able to help other companies manage their business better.

I am able to tackle business challenges with fast solutions. I am able to do things with Bubble that I never have been able to figure out as a non-coder. It's such a powerful platform, and the learning curve was nothing compared to all the time I've spent over the years trying to learn to code.

I wish the documentation was a little more complete, with deeper insight into the way certain processes are happening and why. It's an area that is getting better, but I still often find myself scouring the forums for clarification and workarounds.

We have built and launched several internal tools to accomplish business functions that were very time intensive before. We have also built a product for clients and it has introduced a significant new revenue stream to our agency offerings. These were issues that were too expensive to solve and maintain with traditional custom development. Bubble has provided a rapid new set of tools to address both the cost and time factors that were preventing significant innovation before.

A way to develop all with no code in faster time

It has no manual that guide you through design tasks

A short time to design, test and release systems.

We could build 3 iterations of our product without being developers ourselves. It gets you from idea to design, then to working product in a matter of days, not months, with traditional software development. Helps manage user signup, login, and complex database objects; if you change one variable name, nothing breaks. It just propagates the change throughout your app. Bubble also eliminates the need for a separate hosting infrastructure to enable your app/website to work.

The database component is relatively basic, and you can't do data visualization and transformation at the level needed for more complex ELT/ETL pipelines. Uploading data in bulk is a significant pain.

We didn't need to hire developers to build the first few versions of our app so we could iterate quickly w/o the cash burn. We edited features quickly and got users to interact with our app much sooner vs traditional methods

I am unsure where to start, so let's try it like this: I have not seen/used any no-code tool that is as flexible and powerful as bubble. And more -many of these tools you can build yourself using bubble. 🤯 ✔ You can learn it quickly Do not get me wrong here. Bubble has a learning curve and you can always learn more. It is not "easy", like a simple form builder. This tool can be used for everything. You work with databases and APIs, design the front-end, and you will also use code sooner or later. This is why there is a difference between working with a dev/agency that "knows" bubble and people who "use bubble every day for a couple of years". But the cool thing is, you can already create something very valuable after a couple of hours. So no matter who you are and what your background is, you can start building something that works and provide real value really quickly. ✔️It is very powerful With bubble, you can genuinely create excellent products. You can have whatever background, but you will be able to build a software product on your own. I built tools for internal processes and products for vast numbers of users, from bootstrapped small businesses to venture-backed startups. And all these products work. ✔️Community I use many tools, but I have to say there is no community like this out there. You will truly have a good answer to your questions within minutes. There are many crazy talented people out there building plugins and templates and creating training materials.

Super expensive to host in the EU. Seriously, this is a problem and has to change. Other tools can do this for a fair price 👎👎👎

Problem: I am not a software developer but I want to build scalable software products on my own. A couple of years ago, people would have laughed at me :D.

Its flexibility. I know I can build practically any app within Bubble. I've built many apps with Bubble and have yet to find a task it can't do.

Performance and rending speeds could be a lot better

Bubble is the whole stack, so I don't have to rely on any other product to build my apps.

It's just fun to use. It works well with the way my brain works. It's intuitive. High performance. Responsive support team. Active and knowledgeable community.

Some things are much more difficult to do compared to traditional methods. There are times when I could write a SQL statement in no time but it takes a lot of trial and error in Bubble. That's not the fault of the product and if I need that kind of control I could do it the old school way. The trade off is well worth it for my product at this phase.

Ability to prototype quickly and create a real world functioning product that is generating revenue. It's reliable and performant.

Bubble is exceptional at what it does. I have a lot of experience building client projects with it and haven't really found any limitations. It's very powerful - whether it's designing pages, building frontend or backend workflows, or integrating with other systems, it's all possible. It's incredibly impressive how quickly one can complete many complex tasks. The user interface is good, deployment and hosting is straightforward, and they have an excellent support team and community. Can't recommend it enough. Please look us up if you need an MPV or full product built.

There should be affiliate/reseller incentives for agencies. Need to be able to switch server location to UK/EU, although I know this is on the roadmap.

Rapid development of web apps and MVPs.

Fantastic support and community! Powerful editor. You can build pretty much any app. Great for MVPs. Bubble changed my life. I quit my job to work as a bubble developer. I can build a tool in less than a week, test the idea and not get burned if it doesn't work. I highly recommend it for startups!

Honestly, I cannot think of anything. Everything that annoyed me was fixed or resolved by the bubble team. You can find any workaround with the freedom that the editor gives you.

I switched careers because of bubble. I am able to build MVPs and test ideas without hiring a developer.

Everything impossible when we know how do working and how do in but this one and this two is different things to be have of the some movitaion and surrender ok?

This for work of all of human that know about in self then know what is at to be one or another things to be or should nothing to know to be that impossible to be none

True ways to be understanding situations to make part of knowledge to be source the information to be other that know how many things happen when in did it be that

Significantly reduces the barriers of entry to building a software product. Much easier to learn than coding. Reduces development time to 20-40% of coding.

Lacking some enterprise features. The version control system is not mature. Expensive to host outside the USA.

Bubble helps us build Web Applications more efficiently.

The most robust and comprehensive web-app platform builder on the planet. You can build just about anything with it.

They have some small issues with external APIs such as the SQL Connector plugin for external databases limiting to only 200 rows (which can actually be circumvented in a very funny way) - or their API connector not returning raw_data which is just sad.

Creating web-apps and SaaS platforms, automating tasks, creating APIs and running servers.

Very intuitive, easy to use and clear processes. The thing I love most about bubble is how I can continue building my app, to improve it in the development environment while my clients can continue to use the app without knowing that something else is cooking for them. And then with one single click, after you finish testing, the NEW becomes LIVE and everyone can enjoy the last features added to the app.

I am still struggling with the desing. Making my app responsive is quite challinging to be honest.

It helps me built my apps with half the time needed if I would have done it with code.

Everything about bubble is impressive. I've been a web developer since 2003, and until the end of 2022, I coded everything by hand. I had a client with a massive project and a short deadline, and I knew there was no way to do it without using a tool like bubble. Bubble is so intuitive and easy to use, I've almost switched my entire business model to building everything on bubble. I can now do projects that would take 6-8 months to build in 3-4 weeks, and I don't need to hire a bunch of developers to keep it moving. I love bubble.

I don't like that you can't export your code to host elsewhere. But it's not a deal-breaker. The benefit would be that I no longer have to configure server environments and constantly maintain, refactor, and debug code.

Bubble is making it easier for my team to complete large projects. It increases workflow, and we even use it for some of our internal company tools. I can't remember the last time I found a product that I was able to use to benefit my business processes; it was probably zapier.

Extremely powerful, almost as much as code itself. You can build about anything with it. I love having a constant flow of updates that always bring something that matters or that I was missing, the dev and product management teams do an impressive job at always bringing on point and numerous new features and improvements. Sometimes it feels like I can stop coding and the app will code itself 😌

It is still fairly hard to use and there are sooooo many clicks involved, that I now have to use two mice alternating hands to not get repetitive strain injuries. I am not even joking.

Starting up a business, we are building a prototype app to make our first money and blueprint so that in the future we can build it with actual code. We are now also generating advanced quotes and invoices using a pdf génération plugin.

As a complete tool, it allows me to create robust, complete and highly complex applications. Following traditional methods I would never be able to create my systems in the time and with the rubustes that Bubble allows me to do. Creating smart and beautiful systems made me a "Bubble Lover".

I don't know. Today Bubble serves me well.

Scalability, agility and optimization. Enabled me to enter the web and SaaS software development market;

The versatility of Bubble is unimaginable and can possibly build anything! If anything is missing, integrate it using Bubble's API connector. There's nothing like Bubble.

Nothing really to dislike in Bubble and all works well most times and nothing is missing. My specific user case , an option to connect phpmailer through API.

It solves most of our requirements in connecting travel agents with suppliers resulting in greater productivity for everyone and increasing the performance of businesses

Bubble is opening up true software development to everyone in the world. My company/product would be almost nearly impossible to be built/operational without Bubble. Bubble automates all of the complexity of web devleopment behind the scenes so that you can actually focus on building what matters, and not get caught up in the stuff that developers simply don't want to do. But perhaps the most transformational aspect of Bubble is that it opens up skillsets/abilities that you never thought you had. You can grow more as a person using Bubble on your own than in any other professional endeavor or career path.

No native mobile app support yet, but I'm sure that's coming soon. Once they have that and make the UI more slick/fast, it'll be truly unstoppable.

Some freezing in the editor UI but will be fixed in time.

Bubble as a tool is a true partner to your creativity. What I mean is that when you have an idea in your mind of what you want to build, it's very possible to do so quickly. For example, as I write this, the G2 site has a progress bar that is filling in until I meet the character minimum for a review. If I wanted to integrate a feature like that into my form inputs on Bubble, easy, draw in the progress bar into the interface and set it up to calculate the % of current characters versus the minimum required. I also like how you can achieve multi-platform app experiences pretty seamlessly. Meaning, that you create one database and it serves desktop and mobile experiences simultaneously. If a user makes updates, saves a few things on the app's web version, it will immediately show up on their account in the mobile app because of how databases work in Bubble. This setup is standard for every platform out there, Airbnb, Spotify, Whatsapp. You add a song to your playlist on the mobile app and boom, it's in your web browser's playlist 2 seconds later. I think others overestimate the difficulty in creating mobile apps with Bubble. No it's not perfect, and no, it may not even be the technology stack you want 5 years from now. But that stack is going to cost you $100,000s whereas Bubble is far cheaper for those looking to get started quickly with launching their product idea into the market and not worrying about their tech because Bubble has handled it all on the backend!

Bit of a learning curve but that's hard to avoid in software development.

Easy to create software applications and reach an audience with your idea.

Allowed me to go from not being able to build anything to a complete email marketing SaaS in 3 Months.

There is no CMS system for creating SEO efficient blogs and a few minor things here and there.

Creating products is so much easier and cheaper and faster with bubble.
