It offers customizable templates, plugins, and strong support for both iOS and Android apps > > **Cons**: BuildFire can be expensive for smaller projects, and some advanced customizations require technical knowledge. > > Overall, BuildFire is a reliable and versatile platform for creating mobile apps quickly. It’s especially useful for businesses looking for professional apps without extensive coding. ----- ### "Great Team - Easy to Use- Slower App" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *7 January 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy it is to use buildfire and work with the team. They are great. > > **Cons**: The app can be fairly slow at times and according to the team, there is no fix to this... > > I think in the world we live in, our customers are going to expect instant loads and may not come back to something that take seconds... Which seems super silly but it is what it is. There also has been quite a few glitches with our app. I have never developed an app, so perhaps this is normal. ----- ### "Poor customer service, glitchy experience" — 3.0/5 > **Jimmy** | *28 February 2020* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the concept, I want this to work well and I completely understand the value a mobile app builder like this brings to the world. > > **Cons**: The customer service is among the worst I have experienced in my professional career. Despite paying for premium support, I am lucky to get 1 or 2 messages a day, and I am even luckier if that response is even relevant to my original question or actually solves or helps the problem at hand. Their failure to help a new user has made the process of trying to get our app approved almost one month long, with the issues we've encountered being fairly simple. I understand tech has a steep learning curve, have built websites and have experience building similar digitial setups. Having a strong customer service team or at least decent is vital in this day and age. I feel the experience with Buildfire has fallen short in every way and as a result I am leaving this review instead of having the power to fix the issues I am experiencing. > > I love the idea of an app like this, and was excited to try it out...On paper, everything looks good with Buildfire. Now it has almost been a month since we made the jump to a paid plan and it has been just one hurdle and headache after another. Long review short, their customer service has been appalling and the app has been glitchy and filled with problems. I deal with apps like this and their customer service teams on a weekly basis, and to me, the Buildfire team is as poor as it gets. Despite having "Premium Support" at this plan level, I am lucky to get more than 1 or 2 responses a day on their chat or via email in regard to fairly straight forward issues. Half the time their responses are irrelevant to the subject at hand, or I am told they forwarded it to another team, who then never actually does anything. It genuinely feels like they don't care and are making no effort to actually help. Their failure to really do anything to help has delayed our pretty basic app from launching for multiple weeks. Some of the reasons it has been denied has been for basic features that fail to meet app requirement guidelines. My patience has run out and I am resorting to leaving these reviews as maybe this will wake them up and actually help out a paying customer. I wish we had found another solution, instead of wasting countless hours and headaches with this company. ----- ### "Awesome\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jackie** | *21 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love this platform because I was able to build an app without coding. I didn't spend money on additional training. The app maintenance is well priced ----- ### "i am a satisfied customer" — 5.0/5 > **Catharine** | *24 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was going 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 and offering additional features that we hadn't thought about - that really enhanced the quality of the product and customer experience. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/77292/buildfire?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/77292/buildfire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
