What do you like best about Thunkable?

I love that I do not need any coding or development experience prior to using Thunkable. I love how easy it is to submit an app to the app store and the Google play store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

I do not like the certain limitations imposed by the coding blocks and the built in functions. I would like the ability to add on to the package instead of just clicking submit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thunkable revamped the drag and drop format which has been extremely helpful. The old platform had a column and row design which was very difficult. With the new drag and drop, I am able to create better looking apps easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

Unlike most no-code development platforms, Thunkable allows users to develop apps with third-party integrations and external data sources for free. I found this very liberating since Adalo, Glide, and other no-code tools require payment for these features, even when trying out an idea and unsure if you will carry it through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

I wish the number of steps it takes to achieve these integrations and API calls were less; implementing simple features is made more complex and there is a lot to remember when using Thunkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thunkable allows me to build MVP ideas and test them out faster than if I had to code everything in React Native. This way, I'm able to have real conversations with potential clients and investors about the product before committing to full development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

Thunkable allows you to easily build beautiful cross-platform applications (Android, iOS, and Web). The intuitive interface Thunkable provides allow anyone to build apps for their device! It empowers people to be more than consumers. I especially love how it inspires students to want to learn to code and make software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

Thunkable can be limiting with the drag-and-drop coding interface and being able to only include what is available in Thunkable when creating your app. Most things can be accomplished, but the more advanced things take more technical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thunkable allows anyone to quickly build a cross-platform app. This is excellent for quick prototyping and having a working example in just a few hours. This allows people and students to build something quickly. In the classroom, Thunkable allows students to build a working app for their phones and be inspired to learn computer science.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

Thunkable is a highly beginner-friendly platform that truly makes building an app accessible for anyone! I could even see this being used as a first step to teaching coding concepts like loops and control flow without having to deal with all the complications of coding syntax. It was honestly so fun to just drag and drop blocks and watch things work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

It would have been helpful to have more examples of common use cases in the documentation! Also, when I did make a mistake and introduced bugs, it was sometimes hard to tell what the issue was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Rapid prototyping and iterating on mobile apps without having to pay a developer to build out a whole codebase. Also, making publishing to the app stores so so much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

The fact that i dont need to know any programming languages to make an awesome app is so helpful! I never thought i would be able to create and design my own app and publish to the app store. It is very exciting to see my own creation that i can use on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

Even though i did not need to know any programming languages, there was still a minor learning curve to understanding the platform. But I was easily able to find lots of resource to help guide me through any questions I had and once i worked through my first few setbacks, it was essentially a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a small business owner, i dont have the budget to hire a team of engineers to build my app, nor do i have the time to go back and forth of design and workflow, so being able to work on this myself without breaking the bank has been a huge help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

I don't have a coding background at all, but I found Thunkable surprisingly easy to learn and use. There was a small learning curve, but I was so astonished I was able to publish a prototype in just a matter of weeks. The drag-and-drop interface was fun and surprisingly advanced. I work on a lean team where we wanted to test out a mobile app for a marketing campaign, and our leadership loved it. It's a new world for us, and we're excited to continue building this on more projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

I wish it was easier to collaborate with my team on the platform, but their support team tells me that it's something the team is working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thunkable removed the need to hire a mobile developer to create an actual app that you can publish to the app store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

The informative videos to walk you through the build process! There are a seemingly infinite number of resources to help anyone start building! Even other Thunkable users have been creating demo videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

i cannot think of any downsides yet! Whenever i get stuck and think I wont be able to move forward, I am always able to find a solution in their useful documents page! It was super helpful when i was trying to create a drawer navigator in my app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before Thunkable I couldnt fathom being able to bring my app ideas to life, and even if i could, i wouldnt be able to afford a dev and design team to make it what I would want. But now i am able to create essentially whatever I want and share these with anyone becasue the final products are so easy to publish to the app store! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

What I value the most from thunkable is that you don´t have to learn any platform-specific programming language to have a mobile app, so you can prototype easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

The free plan has a reduced number of components and it is difficult to build a high-quality UI. This is not good while evaluating the tool so you can take bad choises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For sure the lack of knowledge of mobile development and mobile platforms also helps you save money while prototyping a mobile app. Thunkable is giving us the chance to validate our business without having to spend money on expensive mobile developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thunkable?

I like all the different design options that are possible with Thunkable. The Figma integration is great because it combines two awesome tools seamlessly. A functional app is great but a functional app thats also pretty is perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunkable?

I am not a very tech oriented person, so it took me a little while to get the hang of building but it was night and day easier than any coding language i have tried in the past. Its no different than getting accustomed to any other new platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thunkable has helped me create an app that I can use with my clients and also help with my backend operations. Being able to have both of these functions in one place has been a huge help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of things that are not mature enough. In my case, I can't publish on Android anymore because of a limitation of thunkable regarding saving image on the device memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a limit to the number of published WebApps (3) - Hopefully in the future this will be increased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solving the problem of coding being very technical and time intensive - Low code solutions make it easy for anybody to create an app.
