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.
The new responsive engine that they added to their platform. It makes building an app so much easier especially if one is a backend developer
It has everything I can think of when it comes to building apps.
Bubble has helped me build apps faster, and I also earn more through it.
1. It's very intuitive to use 2. There is a great library of ready to use templates that you can just plug and play 3. There is a community around it so you can find help and support when needed
It's not easy to find developers skilled at using bubble to build web apps because it is a relatively new platform. You will need to pay almost double of what you would pay to developers of mainstream platforms like wordpress etc.
I run a hiring business and I wanted to scale up the way in which we manage the relationships with candidates. Using bubble we were able to build a self service interface for jobseekers.
precise, total control, requires some troubleshooting but worth it.
requires learning curve and some trouble shooting
amazing capabilities for nocode
Even as a beginner, you can get pretty far with this NO-Code-Platform. If you put effort into it and go through their tutorials and videos, which by the way, are great, you can in no time become a minor expert. I haven't done the Academy yet, but as soon as I find time, I will. I only have basic knowledge of PHYTON, and still, I was able to build a website with a database interacting with customers through forms and lots of more cool stuff.
There is not a thing right now that comes to mind that I dislike.
I build an interactive website. So far, I have reached stage one, and there is, by far more possible, and I am still learning. The main benefit is that one can do amazing stuff with only basic knowledge of databases and programming. No knowledge is maybe possible, but you will end up with a drag-and-drop website builder only.
Bubble takes care of every aspect of state-of-the-art nocode app development, for a productive, powerful and clever development.
Hard to say, I have been working intensively with bubble and did not find any aspect that I dislike.
I have been developing apps for clients and found a new carrier in Bubble. Marketplaces, power landing pages, internal systems, and much more. I am increasingly productive and there is always a solution for every challenge.
