Formidable Forms Reviews & Product Details

Robust and reliable form building software, I have built surveys, quizzes, very complex picture based forms with conditional logic that go for 30 pages....

This is a personal gripe and why they get 9 stars instead of 10. I was an early investor and got the Holy Grail, a Lifetime deal which does not exist anymore — Sure they still honor that license, but you can tell they do so grudgingly because they don't let me access new features, unlike the majority of Lifetime Time Deals who have nothing but goodwill towards their legacy customers. Also, I don't like the Inline Submit button, it's very hard to align that button, can't believe they have not fixed that. Finally, I don't like how the Quiz addon assumes every field is a question, forcing you to think outside the box / DIY solutions / to include a Name and Email field inside a quiz, you should be able to nominate which fields are questions.

Formidable Forms is powerful form building. I have integrated it with WooCommerce to create bookings sytems with the inbuilt date picker addons, used it for Quizzes with Quiz addons, used it for newsletter signups which has adddons to add most subscribers to a list like MailChimp, but my favorite is MailPoet, and a lot more.

i like the ability to customize your views and pull the fields into pages.

I don't have anything that i dislike at this time.

I am able to create monthly inspections and show stats from those inspections on another page in a customized way. I also have a plugin that I use with Formidable that allows me to complete a pdf fillable form based off of the my form entries.

Formidable Forms is amazing because it can do anything! To begin with, it shows great flexibility to be able to create payment systems, notifications, complex and simple forms, user creations, and API connections with many apps! all this adding the combination of the use of conditional logic that enhances it even more.

The only thing I can see that could be improved little by little is to be able to take the design of the forms to another level. Formidable Forms has styles that are a great tool to style your forms, also with custom CSS, but I think this section could be improved to have forms with clean aesthetics.

I have been able to solve many objectives with Formidable! From creating a voting system with memberships, to being able to insert forms with pop-up in bootstrap mode! The ability to solve problems is infinite since Formidable gives you that power, It is necessary to understand that the amount of things to do or solve is so wide that it is important to read the manuals and the complete documentation!

Ease of use. I've used other form builders, and none of them were nearly as easy and intuitive for building WordPress forms. The range of features and input fields is expansive, and I have yet to throw anything at it that it wasn't capable of.

Nothing comes to mind. It's really well developed and feature rich.

In most cases I needed to enable site visitors to upload attachments as part of an application process. Formidable Forms allows for that functionality, and delivers forms to the site owner cleanly and easily.

There's so much to like: 1) Immensely flexible product - for all levels, but especially for more technically inclined, 2) The support is fantastic. Quick response times, very helpful with finding solutions...seem to really want to make sure they help as much as possible, 3) It works. A polished product has so much value in that I don't have to waste time figuring out if there's a bug or a mistake that I've made.

The only real complaint I have so far is the lack of any kind of community. For a product that is very developer friendly, I would think there would be some type of forum to allow users to share examples and ideas, maybe even quick troubleshooting. I realize this means someone would have to monitor the activity, and I'm not sure how big the team is, but I would love to have access to that. I'd also love to see a pricing model slightly more usage-based (esp for startups where every dollar counts), but I can't complain too much since it's not overly expensive for the year.

The ability to create all different kinds of dynamic, interactive forms has never been more available. I tried several of the other more popular products, and they all had more limitations, were not nearly as user-friendly, and often buggy.

The forms you can build are very versatile and flexible. You have tons of fields to choose from and they are pretty much customizable in every detail. Submit actions are good too, there are lots of actions you can take after data is submitted,

A thing I'd like addressed is the editing mode when there are hundreds of fields. The backend just freezes when there are lots of fields. It's a rare use case, but if you have a big survey like we do it's frustrating when the browser freezes between actions.

Contact forms and surveys

I chose Formidable Forms for our organization when our form requirement started getting more complex in terms of logic. It has met our needs overall with a couple of times that I had to reach out to support for things that either didn't seem to be there or weren't easy to find.

Support is usually rather quick, though as one other person mentioned, sometimes the answers are a bit spartan. To fully get a solution requires back and forth with support, but they stay engaged.

It's helping us interact with our citizens on a variety of projects or initiatives and making it straightforward to build the input forms we need to connect with them.

This plugin provide most of required features required these days.

It is bit costly as compare to other, providing almost same features.

We use this plugin to build form for our appications.

The interface is super easy to use and the view feature allows for easy display of results on the WordPress site without having to use the WP_Query or PHP to pull from the database.

There are some times when Formidable doesn't seem as robust as other form creator plugins on the WordPress platform. Gravity forms seems to have more plugin options.

Collection of business data and payment using Stripe.

If your are a programmer, you can do about everything you need related to forms with Formidable. There is a rich set of features and functions making everything possible.

There use to be a powerful support site with public Q&A available on which we were able to search on a subject and often find an answer, since a similar problem had been solved already. Also, the team support was small but terrific. Today, there is no such public Q&A database available and the support is correct but no longer awful. Also, the pricing is discouraging for small businesses, particularly when you need some add ons which are available in higher end packages.

I extensively use fFormidable forms for anything relating to entering and managing information on my site. From simple contact forms to event management, message management, paiement forms, order forms, front-end content generation, etc.

The plugin is easy to use and has a lot of advanced functionality.

Their support is unhelpful. Provide irrelevant data. Doesn't read what you send them and refused to fix the CSS styling in their plugin that was causing issues, instead telling me I need to install custom CSS on my sites to fix the conflict with other plugins that Formidable Forms causes.

data collection

Formidable has a wide set of features making it easy to meet differing client needs

Not too keen on the price - it's not cheap but you get what you pay for and that nukes the price.

Improves our productivity and our ability to meet differing client needs and wants

It is a very flexible software that is easy to use and can be made very customizable.

There isn't anything I dislike about Formidable Forms.

It has allowed me to create a unique solution without being a developer.

Complex workflows and data gathering is made simple with conditional logic, must have feature.

Haven't seen any downsides, longtime subscriber, top-notch plugin.

Converting paper-based forms to web forms, focusing on intuitive UI and UX.

Customization is as simple or as complex as you want it to be and product support is great.

Creating record entry forms and then accomanying views that display all records can be cumbersome.

Internally, formidable forms is used to enter data for inventory, job applications, client reviews & surveys, and general contact info. The ability to template parts and reuse then is a tremendous benefit.

Formidable Forms is the best Wordpress plugin for creating forms of all kinds. For me there is no better alternative. I love it. The simple creation of the forms. It is absolutely easy to understand.

There is nothing that I think is bad....

With Formidable Forms I have found an easy way to integrate web forms on my website.

just what i wanted. excellent plugin does what it says on the tin

very slow customer service no live chat.

forms on my website and automated actions

Formidable Forms makes it extremely easy to create forms for WordPress sites, but most importantly it offers many PHP hooks and other ways of customizing forms that you don't find on other form creation plugins. This makes it easy to run custom actions upon form submissions, to send customized e-mails on form submissions, perform custom calculations, and much more.

The accessibility of the plugin to those using screen reading applications is commendable but could be improved, especially in the form editing interface. For example, sighted users can drag and drop form fields around the screen, but there is as of yet no easy way for visually impaired users to move fields around using screen reading applications.

Formidable Forms has helped meet our business requirements of a reliable, secure form creation solution for the many business clients for whom we build WordPress Websites.

I like that there is more than enough options, add-ons, extensions to this web form design and management tool. But it's more than that. You can build entire web apps with it. For example, I love short codes. It basically allows me to run sql commands without sql knowledge. It's a abstracted construct above actual contact with undder the hood parts. They do a good job of simplifying the UI for non FT programmers like me.

Deeper you get, the more technical it gets. So you kinda have to be prepared to learn a few tricks or two. I'd like to see more abstracted UI elements within the plugin interface itself for data integration design between entries and views i.e. attach elements via dragging connectors etc.

Im building a web app. This app will help my target audience to do their job better and easier.

Extendable, easy to use and very powerful

It can be quite slow at times, if the form is large

It's very handy with calculations and lookups by linking multiple forms together
