Glide Reviews & Product Details

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.

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?

I really like Glide because it helps me in creating applications with many useful tools, such as the integrated GPS. Its interface is also quite good, which makes some things intuitive and saves me time when developing my application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe there are several things that can be improved in Glide. For example, the programming within the application should be more intuitive or easy. Some variants require several steps in different places to work. I had to use ChatGPT to understand how to use certain functions, and even then it was complicated. It would also be useful to have pre-established options to facilitate the use of programming functions. Glide cannot be translated into Spanish, which is an inconvenience. The initial setup was quite difficult, especially without prior knowledge of Glide, and the lack of translation into Spanish makes it more complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the AI assistant which makes it easy to find bugs and solutions to get the build complete. This is my first shot at no-code, and the help bridged the gap to make it possible for me to complete the work. I could ask it to explain a technical detail or just do it for me and both worked.

I would like more users in the free version. It said up to 10 personal users, but 4 of those were me running tests from different accounts, which left only 6. Ten is good if it's truly 10. Customer support isn't really a thing until you're a paid user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to build powerful, beautiful applications using Glide’s easy-to-use interface. The fact that Glide serves as a suite allowing me to create the database, interface, and workflows all in one place is incredibly convenient, making it a one-stop shop for application building. Additionally, I really appreciate the data editor, which I utilize extensively, even more so than any other data source. The layout editor is also easy and intuitive to use, and the workflow editor provides a wide array of actions and automations that are seamlessly integrated, making using these environments a pleasure. Transitioning to Glide from Google Sheets was an absolute breeze and even enjoyable. Overall, Glide fits perfectly into my workflow by streamlining and improving internal business processes that previously relied heavily on manual, non-automated data entry using Excel and Google Sheets.

I find that Glide's specific internal logic for building apps can sometimes be clunky and difficult to grasp, which means it can take time to master. Additionally, the requirement for a screen to be tied to a table is occasionally puzzling, and it becomes tricky to fetch data from another table when the necessary data isn't included in the data source of the table being used.

I used Glide to create my first no-coding hospitality app, and it really relieved the stress of coding for me. I find it convenient to use, and once I got the hang of it, it became easier to use. I really enjoy using Glide because all the tools are very straightforward, which I like. I appreciate the ability to create relations and have everything communicate in one section and column. This is really helpful as I've learned the importance of having things work well in connection with each other. I consider Glide a big advantage for me in tackling projects.

I've noticed that Glide works well for small apps and small communications, but if it can take on larger projects like PMS systems that would be great for hotel integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glide is the simplest way to create an MVP or a quick in-house cross-platform PWA solution in just half an hour. You simply upload your usual business spreadsheet, and Glide takes care of the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m disappointed that there is no support for Push Notifications and that the native QR scanner is only available with the highest plan. It would also be helpful to have an Apple ID login option, along with a gateway to both the Google and Apple stores. I hope these features will be introduced in the future.

Glide makes building apps fast and simple. I love how everything updates in real time, how it connects with data sources, and how clean and professional the final apps look. The interface is intuitive, powerful, and requires zero coding—perfect for turning ideas into real apps in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None for now — the platform works smoothly for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glide's UI offers out-of-box modern looking UI which doesn't require much customization and designing. A lot of time can be saved so that more focus can be paid to table design, interactions and workflows. This leads to ultra fast deployment. For industrial users like us, UI is not the most important aspect to concern. Designing interface with Glide is just drag-and-place, what-you-see-is-what-you-have. The components provided by Glide are handy and nice-looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manipulation of multiple rows (records) is very difficult with the current version. It's a very annoying limitation of Glide. No matter what you develop with Glide, no matter how small or big the project is, you will be disturbed by this issue on day 1. Constantly I need to find "creative" workaround for updating multiple rows at the same time. Besides, if the app has many different processes or many user cases, you will have to do quite a lot of page design and modifications (mouse clicks). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Glide works well with ChatGPT and Zapier, enhancing its capabilities without needing them, which makes it more advanced. The AI assistance is amazing for someone like me who's not necessarily a programmer, making it easy for me. I love that I can make an app and have it up there on my own, never thought I'd be able to do that. Also, the fact that you can make apps for yourself to help benefit you and make life easier is great. The initial setup was very easy; I just pasted some stuff in, and Glide took over.

Sometimes the AI kind of went away for a while. It happened when I was in the middle of needing it, and then I had to wait for it to come back sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quickly and effectively Glide allows me to build and prototype with a very low level of required skills beforehand. I also appreciate how easily it adapts to the device, meaning it works and feels good on any device, whether it's a PC, Tablet, or phone. It gives me the freedom to use any app I build however and wherever I want. This feature is especially valuable in the business I work for, as customers who use the app use a range of different devices. I don't have to personally customize the screen based on potential user devices. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Version control is lacking at least on the plan I am on, which is the business plan. I have to create duplicates of apps regularly so if there is an issue with data, whether it is a mistake when building or an issue on Glide's end, it can be easily reverted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
