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 dislike about BuildFire?

While they offers a robust foundation, there are certain features I found missing, though not deal-breakers, they would enhance the platform's overall capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BuildFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

adding new features that I requested and supporting any issue I face along the way 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 problems is BuildFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have needed a walking site map of our venue for years, which is where this project began. We needed something to help our guests navigate our intricate pathways and various food and drink offerings without confusing things. Our venue is already flooded with signage, and instructing staff to tell everyone where everything is accurate, was not working out for us. Buildfire has helped immensely in this by solving all of the listed problems; we now have a medium for guests to view a map as they walk, we have the ability to let guests view and order food from their phones, as well as all the functions as our website carries.

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.

What problems is BuildFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a podcaster, to stay on the next level I needed an app. Builfire has allowed me to have an app for my members and I project that will propel my business forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is BuildFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because our field employees don't have access to our company intranet, our app has created a way for us to reach them more promptly. We can provide all the information they need within the app, which can be accessed via the app stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
