FlutterFlow

Avantages

Was so easy to build and used it to prototype ideas fast.

Inconvénients

Was tricky (different) to Outsystems and get used to a new ide

Avantages

So easy to build a cross-platform app with FlutterFlow. I love that they integrate top extensions such as Firebase, Algolia, etc.

Inconvénients

The intro pricing is a bit high. I currently use for free apps and it would cost me more than most apps for a free app. Wish I could use it for production.

Avantages

FlutterFlow ability to import custom code features, download code and export with great functionality and stability makes it stand out. The software also offers frequent updates, very timely with great new features.

Inconvénients

Not too friendly for starters because of the pricing

Avantages

Powerful tool, with easy, friendly, intuitive interface
It's solid. Doesn't crush, has no bugs, it is frequently updated
Has so many options (widgets, ready-to-use components)
It's well documented

Inconvénients

can't find any for now. Web debugger can be slow somethimes

Pourquoi passer à FlutterFlow

Avantages

Ability to create rich production-ready apps visually. Decent community providing user support. Frequent updates. Almost never run into game-ending limitations/bugs.

Inconvénients

Although custom code is supported, you are limited in what you can do until widget builders can be passed as parameters to custom widgets. This leaves many UI enhancements available natively in Flutter effectively locked away. e.g. FlutterFlow doesn't expose ListView.animateTo or .jumpTo, and it's nearly impossible to create a generic custom ListView that exposes these.

Avantages

Lo que más me gusta de FuterFlow es que muy fácil realizar los desarrollos dado que todo es visual, no hay que escribir código, ton solo tienes que arrastrar y soltar elementos visuales. Algo también a destacar es que es multiplataforma y que puedes descargar el código generado.

Inconvénients

Creo que para sacar el máximo beneficio a la plataforma se necesita una curva de aprendizaje que puede tomar algo de tiempo. También apuntaría que para proyectos de mas envergadura quizás no sea la solución adecuada.

Avantages

I enjoy the collaboration and the flows.

Inconvénients

The concurrency paywall is a little frustrating.

Avantages

I love the collaborative features and the intuitive flow design.

Inconvénients

The concurrency paywall can be a bit frustrating at times. Sometimes, I hit grey screens, so the defect handling at runtime can be better.

Pourquoi passer à FlutterFlow

Avantages

Ease in the development of features, just.

Inconvénients

Hard to integrate with other solutions and deploy

Support is terrible!

Avantages

An easy way to quickly design a project.

Inconvénients

Support, on the other hand, is disastrous. You can wait 1-2 weeks to get any semblance of a response, and even longer to resolve a situation.

Avantages

The no code approach will eventually replace coding as we know it.
In this sense Flutterflow is definitely a product of a future.

Inconvénients

The IDE feels like a tool for experienced designers and programmers rather than business oriented or product people

Avantages

Nothing, not sure whether their platform works, becos basic features are not working and even after paying for a suscription, there is NO support

Avantages

I love that i don't have to code and just use drag and drop feature to build an app. A person like me who doesn't know coding can build app with flutterflow

Inconvénients

Flutter flow needs a how to guide for beginners , for them it might be complex .

Avantages

Must to add bussnis work flow and integration with jira and most analysis program

Inconvénients

May be must integrated with AI and add more libary

Avantages

The quality of the NoCode apps you build on FlutterFlow is way better than the ones you get from other NoCode builders in the market such as Adalo, AppyPie, and the rest. FlutterFlow apps are a lot faster, and because you are working with Firebase, you can integrate with a lot of services easily both within FlutterFlow and also with Firebase extensions.
Even better with FlutterFlow, you have access to your apps' source code! For me, this is a HUGE win in terms of NoCode builders.

Inconvénients

There's really not much I don't like on FlutterFlow. I think the quality of apps you build with FlutterFlow is just unmatched at the moment. I think it's the best NoCode builder in the market right now. However, it's not an easy platform to use, compared to the likes of Adalo. FlutterFlow takes getting used to.

Avantages

I was building Flutter apps already before FF, coding it myself with dart. I already used Firebase as a backend. But it took long to build apps. Then FF came around and I more than 10x'ed my development time, in fact I would say some of my latest released projects wouldn't have been possible without FF given how fast I needed to get something out. The low code and easy to use builder are what makes that possible. Also, the widgets that come with the FF package makes it easier to design beautiful interfaces that I, being a developer not a designer, missed out on when just looking at code before FF. My apps LOOK way better now too. And they work, they actually work!

Inconvénients

There are minor nitpicky things, such as the inability for sub-collections support in Firestore. If you have an existing system that has subcollections in FS that you want to add an app to using FF, you'll have to refactor your database, which can be a dicey proposition for production systems. So I've only always been able to use FF for new apps, not add mobile apps to some of my large React projects, for example.

Avantages

The GUI awesome / Firebase interface awesome / Theme very good headed I the right direction / Run mode awesome ( would like it a little faster [I do understand though])
***** The thing that is most amazing of all is that fact that you can run the code send the link to your email and test it on your phone ****** and yes the camera will work etc etc...

Inconvénients

Having to redo screens that where working and then stopped for what seemed to be minor changes. I have been downloading the code from GitHub and haven't yet but want to compare the working code with the non-working code to see what is what.

Avantages

Ability to code custom features, download code and make further iteration in IDE, makes FlutterFlow stand out to me.

Inconvénients

Browser lag is a major challenge especially when working on a project with more than 12 screens. Customer service and community support channels should be improved drastically. Paid users should not have to feel neglected after creating a support ticket.

Avantages

FlutterFlow has a relatively good learning curve, but still offers the possibility for more advanced users to extract a lot from this platform, for example with adding custom code. The rate of updates is also amazing, being almost weekly with great new features.

Inconvénients

Not all parameters of widgets (e.g. a container), are possible to set from a variable. A (much requested) is setting color from a variable, which is not possible right now and needs timely workarounds.

Avantages

The most thing is that FF absolutely claim the goal, we can make apps even we're not familiar with the code, maybe childs could work with it, it's so fun and lovely.
As a software is so powerful, intelligent and robust for ultimate app lifecycle experience, and more extra thing is not just for normal users no at all !!
I thing that should developers work with it because he is working so fast with Firebase integration and making a lot steps so short to focus on the core for their apps.

Inconvénients

For me every section in the FF, I used and I liked very much because it's open up the possibilities to make real success, I can give you an example:
- UX: so smooth and amazing to pick the right properties for every widget that we use
- Widget Tree: after the last updates, now we're architecte the UI concept for more details, itt's next era of UI budling from code syntax to visualize the code !
- Run Mode: In our local machines takes at least minutes for basic apps but in FF even it's a big app just in 5 minutes or less!
- ...

Avantages

Ease of use and this software allows you to scale your business easily. You can literally take your app idea from napkin sketch to fully functioning app in hours.

Inconvénients

Hard to choose something I don’t like when the software is nearly perfect. Some functions/elements can be buggy, but the team will rapidly fix these bugs and errors.

Avantages

I have not found a single item on my no-code wish list that has not been provided for.

Inconvénients

Documentation and support videos are not complete yet, but good enough to help me along. I can see the FlutterFlow team is working hard on it though.

Avantages

Flutter flow is a great tool that allows you to build mobile and web applications in a very easy way. It is an example of the future of low code.

Inconvénients

Can't say. I am a Flutter Flow fan and don't see any major drawbacks.

Avantages

Flutterflow has all the pros of Nocode software with none of the drawbacks seen with other similar app builder tools

The ability to import custom code, export clean code without proprietary bulk or obfuscation makes it the ultimate tool for building a powerful, scaleable mobile app from day 1 to year 10

Inconvénients

There are very few limitations and the team are amazing with new features and fixes being added on a weekly basis - incredible!

Avantages

The feature to intergrate firebase and be able
To authenticate users from a click of a button is very crucial as it simplifies the whole process by being able to reference the auth user from the app

Inconvénients

The run mode and test mode could use a bit of an overhaul for them to work seamless.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

Ease of use, can bring your ideas to life with almost no effort. Of course the integration with other services; like Firebase for example.

Inconvénients

I feel that the desktop and web dev & export features can be improved - and i have no doubt about that they will.

Avantages

Very intuitive, and the integrations with the mobile stores is a plus. Very straight forward with firebase support, and languages.

Inconvénients

Few, I think, really are minor. (Still better control of versioning, for example).

Avantages

The ability to create MVP's quickly has allowed me to expand my clientele and ability to service more people. Also, the rate of new features.

Inconvénients

Not many Cons honestly, I have been using this platform since they first launched at Google I/O and I can say anything listed as a con by anyone, just give it a few weeks and it will be added.

Avantages

The features list is so impressive but not only that a designer like me can pick it up and do some simply unbelievable things with it. Authentication, backends, notifications... the list goes on.

Inconvénients

Only early on when there was so much growth did you need to be aware that bugs existed but the team were phenomenal in squashing them and iterating the product to be super stable now.

Avantages

Flutterflow es muy rápido, robusto y sencillo, si eres programador tiene una curva de aprendizaje sencilla, ya que es los code, la recomiendo muchísimo.

Inconvénients

La verdad no eh encontrado un disgusto ya que tiene buen soporte y también una comunidad grande

Avantages

The ability to code in flutter without necessarily writing the codes manually is amazing for someone like me who finds it tiring to keep writing codes everyday. It reduces the work to look like you are just designing with WordPress.

Inconvénients

The features are really limited. You still have to code for certain features.

Avantages

FlutterFlow is easy to use and learn it works almost seamlessly with Firebase. The team is also very much on the ball with consistent weekly updates that keep making the platform much better.

The ability to download the code and do with it as you please is also really reassuring and liberating.

Inconvénients

A few missing widgets that could be handy, you may also want to look into it carefully if you are going to be using backends other than Firebase.

Avantages

It is pretty easy to create your basic UI designs and adding components is pretty straight forward.

Inconvénients

When designs get complex the system seems to bog down. When you have nests on nests on nests moving things is arduous and sometimes an adventure as to where it will go.

Avantages

We love that we can quickly design and build applications without needing all of the workers to know how to code. We've definitely built more using their application than our previous no-code application development application, and built it more quickly.

Inconvénients

We want them to stop churning out new features and start fixing bugs. Every time they release a new update, it invariably breaks things in our application that we then have to track down and fix. We lose time and money every time we hit a bug in their interface that requires us to tunnel around it. We lose time and money every time something breaks on which we've come to depend, requiring us to find a new solution.

Avantages

You're not limited to doing development on the platform, you can export your code and that's awesome.
Another thing I like is when Flutter (Google's SDK) makes updates, Flutterlfow also because Flutterflow is really easier and faster Flutter especially for people without technical knowledge.

Inconvénients

If you are not familiar with flutter, customizing the logic of your apps is going to be difficult. The learning curve is hard.

Avantages

The AI Code Generation is amazing and the widget architecture, once one finally gets it... is very powerful.

Inconvénients

There are a lot of surprises to be found, once you Compile and Build the code, both under CLI (Command Line) and especially during the Xcode Build. There are lots of deprecated snipets of code. But once you start to understand the source of errors, it becomes manageable to correct and correctly compile, build and deploy. There seems to be continued issues with ImagePicker and deprecated snipets.

Avantages

FlutterFlow is very intuitive, easy to learn and they ship huge updates every week. Regional Discounts also make it affordable for those living in geographical locations whose currency has less spending power. This tool will unlock the creativity of the remaining 97% of the population that can't write code.

Inconvénients

Sample Apps are not included in the Standard plan

Avantages

the product is really helpful and helps me get the work done

Inconvénients

the drag-and-drop feature could use a bit of touchup although it has been improved from what it used to be

Avantages

Even if it's no code it is easier to identify and change generated code

Inconvénients

UI bugs in editor some times editor is not working as expected

Avantages

A integração com banco de dados tanto com planilhas quanto co firebase são dentre tantas coisas boas as que mais me chama a atenção na plataforma

Inconvénients

Ainda não conseguir observar algum recurso que esteja faltando na plataforma

Avantages

Easy of use. Powerful UI/ features and functionality. Best tool come across in this space.

Inconvénients

Don’t have any at this moment in time but look forward to more integrations.

Pourquoi passer à FlutterFlow

Avantages

Overall simplicity and the ability to implement and build mobile and web application easily, with understandable UI.

Inconvénients

Lack of African payment integration for E-commerce and subscription platform.

Avantages

The only software I use that are weekly updated with new feature and improvement

Inconvénients

We have to pay it but it worth the value and the time we save from coding by hand

Avantages

I've been using FlutterFlow for a few months and I can say that it's a very powerful app builder. The app builder has a drag and drop interface, and the user can easily drag and drop widgets and blocks to create the desired app. I have built a few apps with Flutter before, but never built a commercial app. I decided to try out FlutterFlow, and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.

Inconvénients

Some features are bugged, but support team is working on constant updates and fixes.

Avantages

It's powerful. It has a great IU editor and after you connect the Firebase DB and create actions, you can export the full code, or create an Android APK in one click! I loved how fast it performed. It has 2 features updates every month. The Web and Desktop apps are in beta. They charge a fixed price for the Editor and the usage comes from Firebase and the services you add to it.

Inconvénients

Flutterflow has for now Firebase as the DB and connect to it has need some steps

Avantages

Easy to use and does a lot of the work required for small to medium apps, and helps jumpstart bigger, more complicated projects.

Inconvénients

Would love to see even more templates, though I understand more are being added periodically.

Avantages

Die einfache Bedienung und vielen Möglichkeiten zur Umsetzung, ohne viel Code.

Inconvénients

Definitiv das Suchen nach UserLocation z.B. mit Algolia. Hier werden Filter benötigt damit eine einwandfreie Suche ermöglicht werden kann.

Avantages

I like to be able to extract the source code so that I have independence from Flutterflow and can have my source code available in case Flutterflow goes out of existence.

Inconvénients

It would be interesting if we could import pre-existing projects in Flutter so that we can work with them within the platform.

Avantages

No code
Drag and drop features
API integration

Inconvénients

Connection with other databases like CouchDB / PouchDB

Avantages

User Interface.
Frequently Update.
Drag and Drop.
Firebase Integration.

Inconvénients

Unable to Edit My Flutter Code.
Web App Only {need good internet connection - PS5 idea is more expensive}.
Less tutorials for beginners {step by step and complete guide written and video tutorials}
