## Glide Classic Reviews
  ### 1. Glide  is a must!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diego C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide helped us to develop internal apps and also a brand new external app for our customers. With glide we got the same experience as a native app but with amazing speed and easy to develop and integrate with our different tools!

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Not a lot. Still testing some functionalities. i know that a lot of plugins or widgets are still to be develop. Happy to see what glide will develop soon. Having the app in app store or google play I think is a must in the near future

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Internal apps to manage changes in the database.

Customer's app to see their subscription and execute changes

  ### 2. Incredibly simple and effective tool to modernize business processes

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide makes it so easy to transform a process that is reliant on a spreadsheet into a fun, interactive tool that can be used across an organization. Even if you don't have a spreadsheet to start with, you can use Glide's built-in Tables to build Apps without any reliance on external sources.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I wish Glide allowed more sign in options (sign in with Microsoft account, Facebook login, etc.). The current options are a bit limiting and expanding on this area would likely lead a better user experience.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glide is making it much easier to collaborate on processes in our organization. A shared spreadsheet is a boring thing to interact with, but a bright, beautiful app or webpage leads to much more interest and adoption from staff.

**Official Response from Darren Humphries:**

> Thanks so much for the review!  We couldn't agree more with you; why use a spreadsheet when your data can look so good with Glide! 

  ### 3. Easy to use, more powerful than you think

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nate N. | Board Member, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Easy to use
Fast to build
More powerful than you might think
Flexible
Easy to share with a team
Nice design

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Wish there were more design controls, but I understand why there are not. As is, things are pretty simple to build and maintain.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Building info/team apps for our team and others. Works well overall.

  ### 4. Hands down the easiest no code tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aman S. | Product Marketing Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

1. Great tool for no code beginners since it has a simple UI unlike other no code tools. 
2. Can build simple as well as really complex apps.
3. Glide has a really wide variety of drag and drop features like copy to clipboard button, email button etc which is not available in competitors like bubble.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Not scalable unless you take the enterprise plan since there are limits on number of updates users can make. Everything else is great'

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am a marketing graduate with absolutely no experience in coding or developing apps. Glide with its simple UI is giving me the option to create an app out of a simple google sheet.

  ### 5. Less Effort yet High Function

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aini R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

User-Friendly, Easy to learn, Great User Interface and User Experience, Easy to Setup and most of the things is no need to code to deliver a great functioning apps

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Cannot customize styling unless premium account only. Need more row of data and phone number validation. Less payment gateway, not suitable for high-security apps and a bit pricey.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Listing the name and classify the list of customers. Create a dynamic application that reduce the repetitive task and reduce the time of learning new language of coding

  ### 6. Reviewing Glide

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Timothy Xavier W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

The best part about glide is the visuals and the ability to input and manipulate data to your will. I have won 3 competitions from using Glide.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I dislike the inability to work with someone at the same time. It makes it hard to get team based apps completed quick.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allowed me to prototype an app with friends that was overwhelmingly deemed a great idea.

  ### 7. Amazing product for non-developers

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mehdi B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

We are an event agency working with live entertainment providers and I have been using Glide to build a mobile app for the artists we book at our events. Without any coding skill, I have been able to build it in 2 days, releasing it to our 100+ users and it has been a game-changer for our business.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I would appreciate to have a built-in notification system and even more integrations with third party apps but it's a nice to have cause overall the global experience was really good.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has allowed us to share in real-time all the confirmed events and optional events to our network of 100+ live entertainment providers (artists that we book at private events). They have access in real time to all practical infos regarding their performances, a complete agenda, as well as a chat to interact with other performers internally. All that without writing a single line of code.

  ### 8. Fantastic Low Code App Builder with Equally Great Support and Community

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ron D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide support and community are second to none. Any issue or question I've had is easily and quickly answered. GUI is easy to work with and functions correctly and reliably. Due to being low/no-code, some options are limited directly but almost everything I've tried to do, can be achieved using more complex workarounds and creative database use. For advanced users, this is great. I love that the core features are easy to work with and in most cases if the feature isn't directly there, you can work around it

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Nothing. Some customization options and direct functionality are limited but this is an unavoidable by byproduct of low/no-code. In many ways, customizations and functionality can be achieved using more complex workarounds so it's not a big deal for advanced users but low code target audience are left behind in this. To be clear, I don't dislike this, in fact, I think it's a huge positive.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glide puts the power to create custom applications and sites in the hands of non/semi-technical users. It is vital to groups looking to develop a custom product that either doesn't exist or one that is less complicated to use, especially if they don't have resources for their own developer or staff

  ### 9. Easily the quickest no-code tool out there.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Been using Glide for several years now and have become a huge fan.  Out of the box, you can turn a spreadsheet or csv file into an attractive, functional app or website in minutes. Truly. From there,  an ever-growing, powerful set of tools allow you to create just about any functionality. There is also a very engaged community of experts that quickly help you over any hurdles, big or small.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

With ease of use come some limits. You don't need to know css or html and it wouldn't help you much anyway because Glide doesn't let you fuss with any of that, unless you pay extra for access to some CSS.  The result is sometimes some frustration in being unable to tweak how elements appear, like adjusting margins, padding or colors. But for me, the trade-off is worth it since the overall look is clean, and you know it will look right for every user. The lack of backups or version history is a big gap.  Also, be aware that if you left the platform or (God forbid) Glide called it quits, you could pull out your data but you can't migrate your site or design to another platform.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This has proven to be an excellent tool to easily build a custom solution for delivering information to clients and helping them track and organize information.

**Official Response from Sebastián Solari:**

> Thank you for your review, Brian! We're thrilled to hear that you're a huge fan of Glide and the fact that you appreciate the ease of use. We understand your frustration with the limits. However, we believe the trade-off is worth it. We appreciate your feedback, and we are continuously working to improve our product and provide the best possible experience to our users.

  ### 10. Practical, good looking but still complex

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juanse A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

I love the way Glide looks. It is like having a well-developed app without paying tons of money. You can do many things to personalize your experience according to your brand, and I love that. My clients love how it looks.
There is a strong community that helps a lot to resolve issues, and that is very very valuable.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

- Sometimes, the app is slow and takes a lot to load content.
- Although Glide does not work with code, there are many very complex things to do. Still, having a solid community helps a lot to resolve issues.
- It would be great to have drag-and-drop features on the Layout page to make things easier.
- I hate the fact that when you have a visibility page disabled, every click that you make will change the page to a visible one. Worst thing on Glide.
- Pricing is very high for local currency (Colombia), costing four times more than other subscription services.
- To be honest, the fact that you can't upload PDF's is making me consider another platform.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used to design exercise programming for clients on Canva or Excel. Glide saved me a lot of time and it did a much better job presenting my programs. Know my personal brand looks solid and customers love it.

  ### 11. It is the fastest and easiest tool to prototype a web application

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Edu L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

I like its simplicity, speed, versatility to launch an idea for the first time

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

That you can not monetize with admob or AdSense.
I would like to be able to customize the design of the interface much more

Solve any problem or idea that can be realized in a spreadsheet, database

  ### 12. Gave my business an exponential growth

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fernando G. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

It's main focused on creating a tool that replaces Excel or Sheets gave an excellent reason for my clients to focus on getting it implemented in their business

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I think that prices do not match what it offers for accessibility and database sizes. It is expensive.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To get new clients to understand the purpose of our agency, which identifies with what Glide wants to do, which is giving Excel and Sheets a new way to work in a business.

  ### 13. Glide is a business accelerator!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frédéric M. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide is really simple to understand. If you invest 4 serious hours of your time, you will be able to create your first app. Not just a "Hello world app". A beautifull responsive app with: security, datas, actions and anything you need to speed up your daily process.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Sometimes you need to deal with the platform choice. You are not totally in control of your design but that's part of the deal. Plus, you need to think about your product before building so you can choose the right pricing plan for your needs.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Building mobile and web applications faster than with traditional coding technologies. Ship quicker and securely everything that my business or customers need.

  ### 14. Glide - Best tool for software prototyping

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

We use glide here at the company when it is necessary to create functional prototypes quickly. The possibility of using a local database boosts application development.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Perhaps the possibility of greater customization of layouts.
Today we have an infinity of possibilities, but more customizable components can make Glide a better application for the final application

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Simplifying application prototyping.
Application creation for internal use and corporate metrics dashboards. The possibility of connecting the application to google sheets allows the creation of insights in real time

  ### 15. Glide give you the most important thing in life; Time

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matias C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

The most helpful of Glide is the easy, clean and beautiful user interface without a single line of code and without headaches. 
Also the integrated data base is great, no need to go outside the platform

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

The downside of Glide is the costs of use, specially for the latinoamerica folks like me. Because, we don't charge on U.S dollars however we have to pay Glide services in U.S dollars. That's a disadvantage

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Right now Glide is helping me delivered quality software in no time and effortless, that got me time for other parts of my job like sell, do marketing and the most important of all: spare more time with my family

  ### 16. Glideapps: Empowering Creativity with Unmatched Simplicity

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Justin F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

By far the best and most simple app development platform on any planet in the solar system.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I found that the pricing changes too often but i must say it remains affordable!

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glide has allowed me to create almost 200 mobile apps without needing to know how to code. As for the benefits, Glide can save time and money by streamlining the app development process and making it more accessible to a wider range of people.

  ### 17. I have already recommended this platform to my friends and colleages.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide is extremely learnable. It has all these tutorials and guides to help you do what you need. Also, if there is something I haven't been able to find, the community forums are beneficial. I picked up Glide as a potential platform to digitize test forms for work, and it has just seeped its way into my personal life and made me realize that no-code platforms are potent tools now.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I can see the pricing schedule being a downer for personal use using the platform for personal reasons that they don't have an alternative. Still, if there is a way for someone to mitigate the costs, or if a cost-benefit analysis proves to be good, then you can see the outcomes of a costly platform in its fit and finish, customer support, and features that seem to get added and updated at least once a month. Glide in December of 2022 is much different than what it is now in June of 2023. It's nice to see where my membership costs go, albeit high.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I tried Google Forms, Bubble.io, Microsoft Excel (with VBA) and Microsoft Access. I realized that Glide could cover the bases and have integrations that further help data analysis with other no-code or low-code platforms. We originally had test forms on paper that someone had to analyze and put into a spreadsheet visually; then, I was asked to digitize these forms. We already used tablets to take photos of our projects, so it was a no-brainer to have some form on the tablet to combine and streamline the process. Additionally, streamlining the data analysis with coding. and then further expanding the project to have displays to push information through to Power BI. It's been instrumental in providing a platform to create a dynamic and agile form.

  ### 18. UI and app building at their brst associated to Automation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brice M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

User friendly and broadly automation adapted.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

A lot of new items and features. Difficult to keep up with.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No need of an R&D department  nor of a creative studio to build tools with great added value for my csm missions

  ### 19. A PWA as quick as possible

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emanuele I. | Web master, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide offers a CRUD made by tables or Google sheets , for less than 30 dollars you can have an app ready to be loaded on every mobile devices able to load html5 sites , inclusivity at its best.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

While it has a good builder there is a learning curve and for things like make pay users for pro screens you have to create your own solution, then it has not a good audio player so you have to use web views to load it externally.Its builder has not so many option for the interface but using the Rich text component you can personalize by using css and the great Community Glide has.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Its a good entry level for start a simple no code app and it not even expensive !
Then when you learn enough you could use as Crud for expensive and more pro app with other languages.

**Official Response from Darren Humphries:**

> Emanuele, thanks so much for the review!  Glad you like how easy Glide is and the value we offer in our pricing.

We are constantly improving Glide and value feedback from our clients.  You can use the link below to make suggestions and our team will review.  While there can be a learning curve with Glide for more advanced capabilities we endeavor to make Glide as easy as possible.  We are continuing to build on that ease-of-use by making more powerful features easy to access, which is the very ethos of nocode in general and Glide in particular.

Thanks again, Emanuele.  Let us know what we can do to move your review rating to a 5 star one! :) 

  ### 20. Create an app fast and without code skills

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Johan A. | Investisseur, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Simplicity of creating an app without any development skills and without spending a lot of time learning a new tool : I created my first app with Glide in 1 hour and I presented it to a prospect

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

The tool can be too limited if you want to design a custom view, you have to use existing templates so you are not free to create a custom design and think your app exactly as you want sometimes

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I created an app for a client that runs a shop center and wanted to have a loyalty card system and promote offers to their clients. We created this app thanks to Glide and functionalities available

  ### 21. Glide makes ideas come to Life

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zadina R. | Customer Support/Human Resources Professional, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide has really helped me to improve my app making skills and has allowed me to make ideas come to life. The best part is that Glide is user friendly and easy to use!

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I would like to see more affordable plans for small businesses owners like me. This would be a great solution for small businesses owners in general. This is just a minor improvement.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Glide is solving the issue of making apps easier for the layperson because it doesn't involve any coding. I believe this aspect helps to increase business performance.

  ### 22. This is the perfect platform for quick prototyping and small enterprise solutions.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

In a matter of hours and day's you can build solutions with external integration without any coding experience. Knowing spreadsheets and presentation software gives you endless creativity . Don't stop at visualizing but imement the full UX of the processes.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

The fact that this is currently only serviced in the US and not hosted on European servers, limits the possibilities for full production releasing of several usecases. Hope the expansion to Europe will follow ASAP.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not only sketch the solutions but also test the processes related to the ideas!
This solves limitations and unexpected delay's in a later fase of development. 
Therefore a huge performance increase and shortening of the time to market.

  ### 23. The best no-code tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eduardo P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide offers such good UI and responsive results that you only have to focus on solving the business challenges that your clients present to you.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

Its great value also becomes problematic since sometimes customers need or want their most personalised applications. For this, Glide offers CSS support in the Business Plan, but it's a bit expensive for me.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Initially, it allowed us to solve some projects oriented to local consumption easily and quickly. But, as we have acquired more knowledge and the evolution of the tool itself, we are now providing business solutions and digitalisation of processes. Moreover, when a client offers us a new challenge, we try to fit it into Glide.

  ### 24. Nice experiences used glide

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Felipe A. | Test Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

I like glide because the go with you trough you education with the coaching service

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

At the moment there is nothing that dislakime me

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The lack of good education in line and the possibility to chose a good institution for education

  ### 25. Assisting our Operations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

We have actually built what I would call a pretty sofisticated platform on glide that really assists with our scheduling and tracking of our opertaions.  It has alot of capability and really has made a great customized solution.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

I think more options design wise and with the logic are things that will always be asked for.  we find work around for most things but as it all has to be programmed before you have the option you are going to run into it.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have a complex operations that a google sheet on its own made it hard to manage this allowed for a pretty complex customized solution on it.  it also allows for other integrations.

  ### 26. Great service for the right application

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Ease of use, variety of tools, very professionally done with good UI

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

'Pages' are not equal to Apps and we've spent lots of hours and payments to Glide experts under the understanding that it would be.

**Recommendations to others considering Glide Classic:**

Understand your application, and if desktop view is needed.  If so, make sure all the components that are promoted for Apps that you need are available in Pages.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Serves as our web site and creating custom apps for clients.  See article by an Advisor:  https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/in-the-future-podcast-discoverability-will-be-specialized

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023

I don't love some of the UI (e.g. everything autosaves so it publishes to users right aways)

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I run apps for events and it's easy to get information posted and updated.

  ### 28. Great No code solution for MVP application

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonas B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Most easy interface to design a low code application. The Glide table functionality is really powerfull

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2023

  ### 40. Easy to use and teach to develop tools for the school as a student

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

Glide apps are created starting from the data structure. UI Components are then easily linked to the relevant data and everything else with the UI is automatically done.

**What do you dislike about Glide Classic?**

This also means the logic is handled in the database, which might be inefficient (eg: having to create three+ columns for eg: a membership points system and make certain operations challenging. 
It would also be nice if there were a way to display data in the datagrid in colour so data can be colour coded.

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me empower others to create internal tools to improve efficiency. It also serves as a platform to bring CS ideas others learnt in class to a life by creating a real life product.

Glide solved where communication issues may happen between a platform, but Glide has no issues whatsoever. Glide also helps me become more effective with my projects!

**What problems is Glide Classic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to deliver a service via an app quickly. Deliver a better experience or validate offers and test new products. We have been able to build various advancements in delivery agility without having to go through an approval in an app store or build something with design and code.

Because of the pandemic, we started to use Glide as our quick shopping cart app. We added our catalog and offered it to some of the schools in our area, reassuring that their students could get the material on their phones and get them directly to their homes to respect social distancing. The event was a success.

**Official Response from Sebastián Solari:**

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Glide Classic?**

The speed of development with such a fresh, clean look.  I needed an app for document management of applications sent to state governments.  It had to be simple, reliable and with good features and functionality.  I hired a Glide Expert, Megann Lock, who in a few short hours delivered a perfect solution.  I'm so happy I'm beside myself!  Being an old database application manager, Megann was able to develop something in hours that would have taken be 6 months in my former life with legacy platforms.  Thanks so much - I'm blown away!
