Back4app Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate it because it is a complete app-backend that allows me to write very little backend code and focus only on the app frontend. I really like the ease of use of Back4app. Additionally, the free-tier is useful when starting the development of a new app and needing to cut costs, allowing development without worries even when the client has not yet paid or earned.

The admin dashboard is not suitable to be given to a client. It must be usable by a client who knows nothing technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to set up Back4app, which makes it extremely efficient for my client projects involving web apps like Content Management, Lead Management, and E-commerce. The cloud functions offered by Back4app give me incredible capabilities, akin to having 'super powers', which eliminate the need for deploying a traditional backend and streamline my workflow significantly. The documentation is another aspect I find valuable, providing clear guidance that makes working with the platform straightforward. My overall experience with the initial setup was seamless, especially since I had prior familiarity with Parse.com, contributing to a smooth transition. These elements collectively enhance my productivity and project efficiency, making it a product I am likely to recommend to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have better logs in the free version of Back4app. Currently, I only have access to basic logs, which limits my ability to perform detailed analysis and troubleshooting as a developer. More detailed logs and extended log retention would significantly enhance my ability to debug and improve the projects I work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Back4App since 2016, and it has been a reliable host for our Parse projects all that time. They continually make improvements and refinements to the system, and their customer support is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have no big complaints. Sometimes the "recommend us" popups on the site can be a bit pushy, though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved Back4app's amazing customer service, ease of use, and flexible databases. The platform was very easy to integrate with many coding tools available to connect to the database. I also appreciate the free plan, and they generously allowed an extension when I ran out of the free tier. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While using Back4App, the UI redesign didn't seem consistent and was a bit confusing. There were also some database analytical tools that didn't seem to work properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think more storage should be available for the tiers in Back4app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using back4app for quite a long time for my android app prototyping.

It's very easy to use and implement and very adequate as a backend for user login and server database.

The requests in the app are fast and you the database organization is easy to follow. You can control the privacy of each class in the database.

There are some free limits to use it during prototyping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the free limits are not enough for the pilot (especially the number of requests, 25k / month) and I have to purchase one or several months, but I understand that, as they have to get some income.

You can only deploy one cloud function in the free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, very powerful backend framework. Back4app stores data + images of my Android app, I did not need to write a single line of code for the backend . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free plan is difficult to use for non-profit apps. When data is deleted from the database, storage is not automatically free so you'll always reach limits very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
