Bubble brings together front and backend development services together in a simple, easy to use but powerful environment. It sells itself as a 'no code' environment, but it has enough power to be very useful for those who have an understanding of code, and with an extensible environment via APIs, it brings a lot of flexibility. In other words, its great both for amateurs and professionals. By bringing the frontend and backend together into one place, it makes it very easy to evolve an application - to rapidly experiment and to test out approaches with little development cost. One can do in weeks what would take months via normal full stack development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bubble is quite a new tool, and they need to put a lot more work into the interface - the workflow tools that control the scripting can soon become difficult to manage. Currently you can only copy and paste one item at a time, which can make for some tedious work, whilst variables that are stored against elements can very easily become difficult to find. They have an interesting challenge ahead - they need to keep the amateur happy but they also need to keep the power user happy. Will be interesting to see how it develops!

What I like best about Bubble is that they've made it easier for non-technical people to break into the world of programming and technology to build their ideas on their own. Bubble's community is easily one of the most welcoming, encouraging, and helpful communities out there, with its members eager to help each other overcome new and exciting challenges that come with exploring new technologies. As part of the community, I've met people from all walks of like, who would have never pursued programming due to their own self doubt, become incredibly capable and technologically competent No-Code developers, either launching their own businesses or changing careers entirely to become a freelance No-Code developer. No-Code is the future of programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike about Bubble. For the most part, the platform is constantly updated to make No-Code even better, and the team behind the scenes is passionate about helping people become their own CTO/Developer. One minor complaint I would have is that sometimes changes are made to their backend that I personally feel did not need to be changed. For instance, once you create a project with a particular name, even if you delete the project, you cannot reuse the same project name. However, because most people will be linking their Bubble app with a custom domain, this is not too bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has everything I can think of when it comes to building apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is straightforward to understand. With no prior experience in coding, I was able to learn it very fast and create solutions easily. It is great for testing ideas and building MVPs. The pricing of the platform is also very competitve to others in the market which makes it a cost effective solution as well. Any startup founders looking for a tech solution, should definitley try it and build upon their success. Highly recommend the platform. Great work done by the bubble team.

The direct support or tutorials if you are struck are less, but that is improving, and I find that gradually it will be better. There are relatively less applications which can be directly integrated with the app. Apart from this there is not much to dislike, the platfrom is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is incredible how much time and funds Bubble.io has saved us. From the few quotes we gathered before commiting to Bubble, if we got our app done traditionally, we would have easily spent upwards of 25x of what we spent developing on Bubble.The no-code workflows are pretty in-depth, so the sky is the limit with the app's functions, but at the same time, they are easy to understand. While we did outsource some development to Bubble pros, there are many tweaks a 'normal' person can do without too much time commitment to learning - as their learning resources are on point, quick and easy to follow. The plugin and template marketplace is also helpful, and most questions or issuses people faced have already been answered by the community on the forums.

We encountered a bug a few months after launch with some unsolvable issues occouring from no where, which prevented from publishing the app. We found a workaround, but to my pleasent suprise, when reporting the bug, the Bubble team got back to us and didn't just give us an automated response. They actually looked into the problem personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The responsive design element of the no-code solution is the only thing that in my eyes prevents the product from being perfect. It is very finicky and inconsistent from my experience. I see the potential in what they did with the ai element of it, where it is easy to use for any user, but I would love the option to have more control, and have it done like it is in Webflow.

TLDR: no-code could be the only solution for non-technical people, wanting to start their own business, and Bubble's niche is being the most powerful of them, while admittedly being a bit more difficult to learn (let's say 3 months vs. 1 month).

Bubble let me, a non-technical founder, create a product with a comparatively low learning curve (higher than some other less capable no-code solutions, but much lower than learning how to code).

After learning for a few months with a few ideas, I am now transitioning into first testing (had no previous development experience) after 1-1,5 months of development with my current project, while working by myself (including design).

In comparison, I was thinking about how to start a business for a few years, was very hung onto developers setting outrageous demands and my cofounder (also non-technical) spent huge sums of money for something I can make myself now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could do with being easier to use to create and iterate designs (think Figma or XD).

I still use Figma to make my designs and only transfer the final design to Bubble. Also, some things come with the territory of being a broader and more powerful tool. For example, in Bubble, you get a clean canvas and can do whatever, while using some other no-code tools, you get finished elements, which snap into place. This way you get speed and ease of use, but I tried doing something more intricate in those tools, and Bubble seems to win this race for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best the ease of programming and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can take a while to use all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to rapidly create and deploy functionality is amazing - on good days I can get done in a few hours would take a team of 5 people (BA, Devs, QA) a week or more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Several things:

1) things that used to work suddenly break without warning and the resolution is sometimes bubble fixing a bug or me having to spend hours redoing something that worked

2) sometimes you are just swimming up stream - something you want to do just seems to be "anti-bubble" and you have to hunt for work-arounds

3) silly things are missing - for example, for years there was no built in way to format JSON. There are no variables in backend workflows. You can't send multiple values to a custom event.

4) The responsive mode is a nightmare

5) When there is an issue, getting support isn't as easy as it could be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the possibilities are endless once you get past the learning curve. You can really do anything with Bubble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dealing with responsiveness is a pain, would love it if it were easier. A way of creating breakpoints would be great.

If the extensibility of Bubble, the design characteristics of Webflow, and ease of Wix could combine... that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great app development environment, but billing was confusing. If I terminate an app early it should just leave money in credit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Account and app management. should be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
