As others have said, it seems fine until your user base climbs. Then performance issues make it unusable. literally. Awesome place to build a wireframe and for your first 100 users, but start building somewhere else once you launch.
Adalo has a super chronic problem that its clients have been complaining for years. The app fail to develop a secure connection to browsers due to an error in the SSL CERTIFICATE. Their workaround is simple: “buy yourself a custom domain”, they say (which is a nonsense since many users are not willing to pay for a domain in the early stages of their projects). The ugliest true is, however, that even when you add your own domain, the error still continues. Just do a quick Google search or visit Adalo’s proper community to find what I am talking about.
Adalo as a company has one of the worst customer service experiences and probably one of the most customer unfriendly organization, you could ever have. In the world were organizations do everything to be customer first, these guys are focused on customer last. They have a community who doesn't necessarily respond to questions. Their customer service team takes days to revert back and even then isn't helpful at all. After days of non-replying you would get a response, please look for it in adalo academy, hire an adalo expert etc and say this isn't in their purview to respond, but sadly they don't respond to questions which are in their purview too. They have plugins which are very expensive, for even very basic functionalities. All they want to do is for you spend and spend some more, Creating basic functionality like a forgot password functionality or adding multiple images is tedious. If you have any doubts go to their youtube channel and see for yourself, how you have to go through creating each of the functionality and decide for yourself. Their plans are expensive, but value delivered is extremely poor.
You have ideas that you want to see it come through, these guys make it so difficult, best to avoid them, else it will cost you your dream.
After more than three years many feature requests still haven't been implemented nor responses provided for. FaceID has yet to be implemented as one example. I used to love Adalo in its early days, but it appears that something went sour and they completely came to a crawl with investments on the platform. So much potential was squandered.
Congratulation 🚀🎉 team Adalo 🫡
🚀 Adalo 2.0 is a game-changer! The no-code platform now allows you to create beautiful responsive apps for both mobile and the web. With 12 new features, it's the best Adalo yet. Say goodbye to debating which platform to use.
keep it up....
Adalo could be the easiest no-code app builder out there (as of 11-07-2022) which is the main reason why many people to start to use it.
There are some fundamental issues which makes me to suggest to check other builders. (I'm a paid user)
- Quite bad customer service
-There is the community but their forum is little neglected by the Adalo's team.
-Apps you will build will end up being very slow
I suggest you can invest time to learn another a little more complicated product (Draftbit, Appgyver for instance) since you will most likely end up rebuilding your app you developed with Adalo.
At the first time, I love Adalo but since they release the new unfair price structure with "App Action" limit, I call my friend in the real world to stop use this platform to run the business.
More than that the more people complaining in their forum is the more they close the topic and hidden it.
I'm not trust Adalo any more, everything is upon them, you cant have your code, you need to stick with them until you die , and they not listen to customer.
I give 2 star because its very user friendly.
Think wise and longterm , no one know when is the next bug change come and that time your voice to them is mean nothing.
Absolute trash. Doesn't even deserve one star. I've wasted countless hours. Extremely buggy and sometimes doesn't even work at all. Please save yourself the pain that I've gone through having to use this product.
