## Bottle Reviews
  ### 1. It is fairly solid

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jay B. | Engineering Intern, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2018

**What do you like best about Bottle?**

Bottle is a very fast and very simple framework. All you need is Python to get started. Bottle also has built in template engines. There is also a lot of documentation available for Bottle. 

**What do you dislike about Bottle?**

It lacks features. Its simplicity makes it far less competitive than frameworks like Flask. Bottle needs to be made extendable. I really hate the one file approach, so I guess I am biased. 

**What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Perfect if all you need is a web API. Not great if you need more than that. 

  ### 2. Not what you think

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Bottle?**

Well the program works first of all. It has been difficult.

**What do you dislike about Bottle?**

Stops frequently, with no resolve. I do not know who to contact about this issue but it should be looked into and resolved for future users.

**What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None because of the software

  ### 3. Bottle is an excellent software but needs minor improvements.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Bottle?**

Download is easy, usage is efficient; however, some functions seem very unneccessary and I feel as if they're a waste of space.

**What do you dislike about Bottle?**

The unessential functions, they seem to be redundant and a waste of space.

**Recommendations to others considering Bottle:**

Download in a secure wifi.

**What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The unessential functions, they seem to be redundant and a waste of space.
