Glide Reviews

Glide is incredibly powerful. I am able to build tools that are far beyond what I can on other platforms.

Great app! I’ve been using it for about 5 years. It has improved greatly since then. The team are creative and forward looking. Pricing plan looks good but there is need to consider loyalty discount.

It is easy to learn even if you are not from a tech background. In a few hours, one can develop a decent web app. Also, the glide team is constantly innovating and improving various functions. Although it has few limitations, but worth learning and exploring this digital tool.

Awesome software to build webapps. We have been using glide since the very beginning and it is great how fast you can build useful software. For us Glide is very important because we can develop fast solutions in our ONG.

I’d give 0 stars if that was an option. The app can’t do basic stuff as promised and the customer support is the absolute worst of worst, it’s been 2 months since I sent my concern and they still haven’t fixed the basics. I highly recommend you don’t waste your money on this crap company

Quick to learn, fast to make, long lasting solutions.

I can't code, but that didn't stop me making leading apps for booking platforms, CRMs, investor reporting, fund management, and more.

Truth is, so many people still use a collection of spreadsheets and this is super messy. With Glide you can make something 10X better than a spreadsheet and 80% as good as a very expensive (time and money) bespoke salesforce setup or newly developed product.

Glide becomes very unstable and expensive, with many bugs not being fixed. I can't rely on plans and features that can be taken away at any moment, sometimes without warning.

Videos are good, community is good. Development is easy and straightforward.

What I still dont understand is:
the user revenue model. I did receive info, but didnt make sense to me. Uncertain where to turn for more info.
Mixed explanations about adding photos by accessing the device's camera. Some documents say yes and some dont say yes or no.

After much research of a no-code, mobile friendly, database driven authoring tool, I finally embraced Glide. I spent many hours watching Youtube reviews, but until you actually spend quality time with a platform, you are never sure of their capabilities.

What I like of Glide is the number of integrations to other systems (e.g. Open AI), a community with generous contributors, and the rhythm of new updates.

Glide is a tool to generate practical data-driven web apps. Don't expect deep control of how the UI will look like. If you are a designer, this may feel like a limitation. Overall I'm quite happy of my learning journey so far.

1. The ability to quickly import data into the app by title
2. Glide Academy with full video tutorials
3. Clear and specific paid packages suitable for many audiences
4. The free plan is great, helping users experience and want to upgrade to higher levels
5. Decentralize by activating the row owner

It's brilliant for developing apps that use lots of data. I've been using for some time, developed complex user journeys, the whole thing is powered by multiple data links. Great for relational data tables. Also the finished product looks great. Never gone wrong yet. It's not perfect; but it meets the number 1 criteria. It just works. Don't underestimate the need for smart design though; there are often several ways of achieving the same thing so to find the best method may require a lot of time to be invested. Whilst it's no/low code, you can't shortcut the testing. Good luck.

I like the easiness of putting up an application for small purposes. Very, very nice. As an experienced developer (UI/backend/databases)I can deal very nicely with your implementation.
What I don't really like is the pricing. For example, for a small app with 10 users and around 5 new records per day I need to pay the Starter plan. But Starter plan doesn't cover push notification features, for example, a very useful feature for a mobile app.

It's loading superfast. Looks good on any device. Everything works perfectly (no errors, reloaded etc.)

And it gives me so much joy to build with Glide. I'm just a happy human.

I remember how Glide used to be 3 years ago and you made so much progress in that time...

Love the experience.

Btw. Integration with OpenAI is so well-designed... I'm pretty sure there is also automated embedding generation in the backend and integrated similarity search... Amazing job!

Great experience to date. I came to Glide after trying many other 'low code' tools and applications. Glide was a real breath of fresh air, doing more than I needed in an easy, structured and logical way. It is a bit like a Russian Doll, the more layers you explore the more features you find, and it just keeps exceeding my expectations day by day. Looking forward to the forthcoming print / PDF plugin which will complete our application.

Glide hits the sweet spot for me. I use Airtable as my data source and need a flexible app on top of it that doesn't require coding skills. Glide offers so many options but makes it easy to create. Their documentation and community are phenomenal as well, so if I ever get stuck, there are very quick responses to my queries.

Amazing tool for no-code users like myself to create custom tools for our specific needs. Glide is continually improving the tools and experience for users. Design customizations are a bit limited which means a lot of apps look the same, difficult to make them stand out. Online resources and community tools are a bit lacking and not current, had a hard time finding solutions to the design challenges I've encountered.

Absolutely loving Glide, and excited about new (and undiscovered) ways it will enable me to scale my business. I’m a long-time Airtable builder and enthusiast for creating customised no-code apps to drive efficiency & performance. Glide is a breath of fresh air in this exciting arena - it’s a powerhouse under the hood but gorgeously easy to use. Combine it with new and emerging AI tech and the opportunities are very exciting. Power, Beauty & Magic really do sum it up. This is the future of app building IMO!

I needed support with an issue I was having with my app. George at glide customer support was prompt and helpful. He even went beyond my inquiring and offered some additional best practice tips. Very satisfied with how they dealt with me.

Poor & No support despite having a business subscription.

Support was good initially. Very quick and responsive.

After getting the funding round and attention was put into Glide Pages, NO response at all when support ticket is raised.

Updated on 16 May 2023
There's absolute no feedback nor response when we raise support tickets.

Community is fantastic but there's a limit on what they can do since the Glide Team is not responding at all.

It's so easy to build products that actually changes things to the better. On top of that it's fun and the more you build the more ideas you get what else you can do. This leads to the next thing that you can integrate it with other apps like airtable which then enables you to even more possibilities. And all without knowing anything about code.
