Frontly reviews

Don’t get me wrong, I can see the potential of Frontly (specially when they add monetization options to sell our own apps) and I will be keeping this deal as it is the one that most closely offers what I am looking forward —creating MVP apps to sell.

However, this version 2 is not quite there yet and it feels like it’s been rushed to Appsumo.

Many bugs, outdated tutorials (they were made for version 1 although it seems they are being rebuilt), support or reporting through Discord is confusing, missing functionalities and the marketplace has only 4 elements (the screenshot in Appsumo is from version 1, not 2).

When you factor all this in, for a non-coder like me it makes quite difficult to use the product to create anything beyond a very simple app.

But, as I said, the future looks interesting once they deal with all this issues and I will gladly update my review accordingly.

I am not a coder, hence my excitement with trying frontly. It sounded from the ads like it was a super simple ai option to build no code apps. As a therapist, I was interested in creating quizzes (personality type) for my clients to answer several questions to, for example, determine attachment style etc. and then have the app offer the results (a detailed analysis of what style and what that meant for them) in exchange for their email address. I asked in the questions section and was told that it was possible, but I am not seeing any instructions or help anywhere to do this. And when I attempted to figure it out myself, I couldn't figure out how to make the app work correctly.

This isn't intuitive at all. There is languaging that is really difficult to understand and all of the videos I have found seem to use v1. There are also only 3 option in the marketplace. I was concerned when I didn't see ANY reviews here for this product after a week of being available. I am hoping that I can figure this out in the next few days or I will be asking for a refund.

I really want to love this. But it really needs a whole lot more work to make the user interface useable for newbies like me. And there need to be a lot more tutorials to help users through.

I have teir 1 - so that is the lowest level but still.

I added 1 prompt, and frontly created the front end of 1 page - no idea if it works because it missed the main part of what I needed, just created the database, not where its used.

And hen from the 1 prompt, I ran out of credits for the month. I would need probably at least 10-20 times more credits to create a product, which would take 10-20 months.

you could learn to code and create your app from scratch in that time.

I wrote one prompt and some of the front end was built for 1 page, I then hit my monthly limit.

definitely need at least 50 times this to actually build anything

If you’re curious to see how powerful Frontly AI really is, I strongly suggest checking out this in-depth review video that covers everything—from its features to a hands-on demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAKTVHQmLcY
It'll give you a solid idea of what to expect!

I’ve been using Frontly AI for the past few months, and it has truly transformed the way I manage projects and streamline workflows. As someone with zero coding experience, I was initially hesitant to dive into app-building solutions, but Frontly made the entire process remarkably easy. With its intuitive interface, I was able to turn my Google Sheets into fully functional no-code apps in just a few clicks.

What stands out the most is how seamless it is to incorporate workflow automations using tools like Zapier and Pabbly. I even managed to collect user data through their full-screen forms and feed it directly into my app, eliminating the need for manual data handling. The customizable dashboards and Kanban boards are game-changers for managing projects efficiently.

Frontly feels like it’s built for both beginners and seasoned professionals—it’s simple to use yet powerful when it comes to features. I highly recommend it for entrepreneurs, startups, and anyone looking to level up their productivity without needing to rely on a developer.

I had a problem with my redmption. This team is unresponsive even after following their help protocol. One taco should be zero tacos, because they are missing in action.

Frontly is easily one of the smartest purchases I’ve made for my business.

I use it every day to manage company operations, and the value far exceeds what I paid. In fact, I liked it so much that I came back to buy another tier!

What I love about Frontly:
- Fast Updates: The team is always improving the platform and adding great new features.
- Amazing Support: Justin and the support team answer every question quickly and are always willing to help.
- Helpful Community: The Discord group is active and supportive—it's easy to find answers and share ideas with other users.

I ran into a problem, and customer support took care of it a few minutes after I sent them an email describing the issue.

This is an incredible product. It allows you to create a fully functional business app and, get this, use a Google Sheet for the database (you can also use other things). That means your data is safe and easy to back up. Patrick is actively engaged in development and keeps bringing features to the platform. This would be one of those apps that, had I not bought a Lifetime Deal, I would absolutely pay for.

I'm excited to share my review of Frontly, particularly now as they launch on Product Hunt. My review is based on three important aspects I found worth sharing: the product itself, the support, and the consistent updates.

Product
Frontly is a powerful and versatile tool designed for creating a wide range of applications. It's particularly well-suited for front-end development that requires login features and supports integration with Google Sheets, Supabase, and soon Airtable, providing a scalable database solution.

One of the standout features of Frontly is its intuitive design, which enabled me to create several high-quality apps without needing AI assistance. The tool provides a comprehensive set of blocks that can be used to build professional-grade apps, and its flexibility allows for the creation of more complex applications depending on your creativity. Additionally, Frontly now incorporates the latest GPT-4 to assist in building apps using AI, further enhancing its capabilities and making app development even more efficient.

The integration with Google Sheets is especially beneficial, offering a flexible and powerful database solution with the ability to leverage Google Sheets' built-in formulas.

Support
Frontly's support is exceptional, with the founder actively engaging with the community on Discord and always open to user suggestions. The documentation is thorough and regularly updated to reflect new product features and improvements. Additionally, there are numerous YouTube tutorials and webinars available that make it easier to understand and create complex apps.

Updates
Frontly is consistently updated, with swift and regular product improvements. The active community involvement helps in quickly identifying and resolving any bugs. The tool has evolved significantly, transitioning from internal tools to full-fledged SaaS applications.

My Final Thoughts
Frontly's first launch on Product Hunt marks a significant milestone. Its dynamic capabilities, active community support, and consistent updates make it a standout tool for app development. If you're seeking an intuitive and flexible solution for creating high-quality applications, with the added power of AI through GPT-4o, Frontly is definitely worth considering.
