5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

It is connecting individual sheets of data and information with the whole team. Everybody can see changes in real time and the building features are easy to learn and master on a certain level.

The simpel setup to our exsiting Google accounts made it a priceless prototype we could integrate in the business right away! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

"Build Real Business Apps Fast with Glide—Flexible, No-Code, and Always Improving"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

What I like best about Glide is that I can build real business applications without traditional coding. I have built my platform TipTrust with Glide and can quickly create pages, workflows, forms, dashboards and user experiences. The platform is flexible, fast to develop with, and constantly improving. For entrepreneurs and small businesses, Glide makes it possible to turn ideas into working applications much faster than traditional software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

Glide is a very powerful platform, but some advanced features still require workarounds. Complex relationships, permissions and large data structures can sometimes become difficult to manage. Pricing can also become expensive as an application grows. I would also like to see more native features and fewer situations where external tools are needed. However, the platform continues to improve and new features are added regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Glide: Your Data, Instantly an App"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

Glide brilliantly removes the single biggest barrier to app creation: writing code. It works like a powerful translator, turning your structured data from Google Sheets, Airtable, or Excel into a fully functional, native-feeling mobile and web app in minutes rather than months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

Glide’s greatest strength is also its primary constraint: you are building on Glide's architecture, not your own. This "walled garden" approach means you can only build what Glide's pre-built components and logic allow, leading to a fundamental lack of flexibility for complex or unique needs.

"A powerful tool to quickly create custom business apps"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

Glide allows you to design functional business applications in record time, without needing to code. The interface is intuitive, the components are well thought out, and the integration with databases like Airtable, Google Sheets, or Supabase is seamless. As a consultant, I use it to prototype MVPs, automate internal processes, or deliver custom tools to my clients. The time savings are considerable, while offering a great user experience. The product team is also very responsive and attentive to the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

Advanced customization limitations can sometimes hinder certain complex projects (for example, very specific business rules or less common third-party APIs). Additionally, some advanced components require juggling with workarounds or custom code if one wants to go very far. That said, the roadmap is evolving rapidly and the features are constantly improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Through Ease of Use; Pricing Could Improve"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

I appreciate the ease of use of Glide Classic. Building an app for my autistic daughter has been straightforward and has given her independence, helped us connect with her, and reduced stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

I like the free programs, but I think they could improve by offering about 100 credits for free. It would be ideal if they had cheaper plans to top up on free accounts. Instead of paying $25 for 100 credits, it could be like $10 for 50 or even $5 for 25 credits. This way, it doesn't feel like I need to work over an hour just to get some credits. I believe people would be more inclined to purchase more often if there were options for smaller amounts. Also, pricing these at something like $4.99 or $9.99 might be more attractive.

"Great tool for fast and easy app creation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

That I can create apps in a really easy and fast way for helping small and big companies to improve their experiences and results without using any code but also have the versatility of using some if I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

I’d just like the opportunity to upload my apps to the stores, and to improve a little more the pricing, including clear information about user permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Darren Humphries of Glide Classic

Sergio, thanks for the review! Not too sure what you meant about pricing but just so it's clear, the pricing is the same whether you build an app or a Page.

It's so true, using Glide to build your apps is fast and easy and so glad you are spreading the word! Thanks again!

"Effortless App Building with Glide"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

I really appreciate the simplicity of Glide; it only took me a couple of minutes to understand what I wanted and what Glide offers. The app makes it easier for our judges to record results, saving them from having to walk across more than 200 tables to log results manually. The math button is great and has saved me a lot of time. The initial setup was very easy, and I find that incredibly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

I think I would add the option of changing the colors of certain things, like the buttons maybe or the homepage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Fast, and Cost-Effective—AI Makes Building in Glide Simple"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

Easy to use, and the AI helps build your project. Step by step instructions are easy to follow. The pricing is for what you get in this is cost effective. App integration is easy. Glide runs fast and the menus are easy tofollow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

When I first started using glide, I had a hard time figuring out how to get the timesheets and all the calculations correct even with the AI help. Eventually I was able to figure it out. If the drop-down menus where a little more informative it would have helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Evolution of TECH. SUPPORT"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

The full customization that Glide offers, allows us to integrate information from our department in a compact and mobile form. Allowing quick and streamlined information as well as functionality for our Field techs and District office team. Minimizing the level of level 2 support calls to almost non existent. Our team now has the support and information at their finger tips ready for all Tech issues they may encounter! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

Not being able to create a local hosted app on the phone or mobile device itself. Something that can be installed like software on the phone to host it. There are situations where we would like to present this or use this outside, however cell coverage is low and or wifi is not available. Any potential chance of ever making this possible. To at least allow the installation of modules and layout in a APK file so that all the information can stay locally cached and then updated as updates are done?

"Intuitive No-Code Builder with Great AI, Integrations, and ROI"
5/5
What do you like best about Glide Classic?

Simplicity! Glide is unbelievably intuitive and allows the user to build a software pretty quickly. In my case, I was able to build the website I wanted with about 10 sheets and figured out things mostly via the community and learning videos created by Glide. The new AI feature is also great which helps in getting components built by chatting with the AI. The integrations are great and it practically works with most of the data sources and other tools out there. I've never had a downtime with Glide except maintenance and the performance was solid for our use case. The pricing has been great and the different plans available allow users to build something great, especially for those on a tight budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Glide Classic?

Nothing as such. I haven't found anything that I don't like. Maybe the apps should allow Google indexing though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
