Relevant reviewers consistently describe Knack as easy to learn and use for quickly building database applications, with intuitive business logic and basic pages. The reviews support the claim's ease and custom-database functionality, though they do not specifically verify the drag-and-drop mechanism. - “The first differentiator with Knack was having the benefit of an Onboarding Expert who walks you through what to expect, what can be achieved and how to get started! Second, the availability of template apps that load in only minutes is phenomenal! That's a great way to get a solid lay of the land. Third, the platform itself is very intuitive. After planning a basic design on paper, you're able to build an app literally within a day!” [Read Full Review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/11250053) - “I have used Knack to write two relatively complex database solutions.
