"Easy to use, great support"
What do you like best about Buildfire?

Since I was in collage I wanted to have a cross-platform app, but I discovered the cost of developing for android and ios, and the time it would take my apps to reach my customers, not to mention the maintain cost.

Then I discovered BuildFire, an impressive platform with a great support, which allowed me to create my app in no time, with zero coding or dealing with developers.

I recommend BuildFire to anyone who needs an app in no time, that supports all platforms with an awesome, around the clock support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buildfire?

The most useful part of BuilFire, I have found, is the responsiveness of the team and how quickly our needs were met. Also, the very long list of plug-ins and how easy the back-end is to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

The only issue I ran into was not being notified when our app was no longer available in the IOS app store due to changes I had made on the back-end. However, Demetrius and Ehab from buildfire were both very helpful in quickly resolving this issue and getting our app republished the next day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buildfire?

The ability for me to edit things on the backend myself and the affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

Wish it had some more features like a more streamlined plugin for commenting on posts and a plugin that people can email me from the app. Also, the Media Center Manual player could use some work. It would be nice if when you leave the player page, you could still see what's playing and the ability to pause and play at the bottom of the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and update!"
What do you like best about Buildfire?

Our app is easy to update. We can send push notifications out quickly to our team. We are a construction business, so timely notifications are crucial. BuildFire has made it simple for us to accomplish the same things a company intranet would. We can house all our important information within the app for our field team to quickly access. The ability to use custom icons or images is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

Uploading users can be a little daunting. It would be great if we could add a user without the uploaded CSV file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
