Formidable Forms Reviews & Product Details

Clear design, simple yet powerful, good features, responsive support. Helps to manage contacts, integrates nicely with MailChimp.

Communication a bit harsh on sales topic

It generates my contact form, manages the subsequent contacts, provides them to MailChimp. Simple workflow. It generates also forms for online questions and answers, powered by a simple database based on Formidable Forms

There are 2 very important aspects about Formidsble Forms: 1. The support and availability is among the best for any WP plugin, 2. The functionality and control to create a great user experience is unmatched for both developers and drag and drop users.

There are many form builders out there and many are comparable, Formidable does have a slight learning curve because it works differently than other form builders but once you get it you won’t look back.

I use Formidable to gather basic contact info with basic styling to complex pricing and configuration for data and even products. I use Formidable to reduce The time hand coding or manipulating WP.

As a developer, I like the extensibility of Formidable Forms and the different add-ons that are available. Anything you can think of that needs an integrated form can almost certainly be implemented with Formidable forms. Together with the Code Snippets plugin, this is one of my core plugins that I use on all my Wordpress projects.

Nothing honestly ... or maybe that you need to install an extra plugin for the pro version? (would be nice to just have to install the public version and upgrade that with a license key instead of having to download the pro version as a separate plugin)

contact form, advanced search form to search submitted posts, automatically create posts from submitted forms, calculation form to send an automated price proposal to customers, etc...

advanced dynamic fields can hide/show when needed

I wish the data was stored in MS SQL database for reporting

quickly get input we need from users.

Formidable has the most features, is easy to use and easy to extend. I have added functions to functions.php file from the Formidable documentation and they just work. Very professional. And they keep adding features to make it better. I trust this developer and there are many Wordpress plugin developers that I do not trust.

Nothing really. When I have needed to do something beyond the typical, the support has been great.

Both simple and complex forms. Simple MailChimp signup forms and more complication registration forms.

Graphic form builder with tons of possibilities. If you want to build more complex forms while keeping it easy then this is the perfect plugin for you.

You need to get a subscription- but it’s worth it

Getting complex submission forms or event registrations online with great usability in a matter of minutes is only possible with formidable forms

I like that I am able to setup my database with so little effort. Collecting data is so much easier.

There really is nothing I dislike about it. The documentations are very comprehensive.

Logins to access forms become much easier to handle. Managing data and displaying have also become painless to do.

Formidable Forms is the backbone of many websites that I have built on WordPress. What I like best is how I am able to build complex processes using the built-in features of Formidable Forms. I'm able to us the many features to implement the required process for the website. This can be a system to manage ticketing, appointment, user profiles, and almost anything that I can think of. There is a ton of documentation and resources that can help you do basic to very advanced programming with Formidable Forms. Formidable Forms makes it easy for us to collect information from a user, store that information, perform tasks on that information, and easily view and manage the submitted data.

Formidable Forms has a lot of additional add-ons and features that are only available to certain plan levels. I dislike this because the cost to upgrade is not justifiable when I only require one of the many features that the upgrade will provide. I am forced to pay for features that I do not need.

I've been able to build increasingly complex websites and web apps using Formidable Forms and Wordpress. Formidable Forms allows me to collect inputs from users and then use that information to perform calculations and tasks. I'm also able to create administrative views and forms so that inputs can be managed easily by the team. I have found that the biggest limitation with Formidable Forms is only what we envision. The plug-in is very extendable and able to handle any requirement that we throw at it.

I like that you can easily import PHP into the form builder to expand for a specific use case. We have been able to build intricate databases with the form builder that we never would have been able to do without a ton of custom code. A few lines of code and some shortcodes have made life easier. Support is amazing to work with and usually answers questions in less than 24 hours. The team has a true commitment to the WordPress community and the Slack group is always a tremendous help to solving problems. No system can build for every use case but Formidable Forms makes it easy to operate across multiple needs.

The Stripe integration could do more. Right now, it's one-directional for the most part which leaves out many reporting needs. An issue I encountered with the integration was the combination in using Stripe with registration. It resulted in a tremendous issue that took us a month or so to fix but I understand that they cannot account for the use case we had in this case. We fixed the issue and everything is working perfectly otherwise.

We have created an entire billing system for an insurance company. We have also created a classified platform and a social media platform with Formidable Forms. It's great for any sort of data entry and organizes the data well for reports. We have used the form builder in conjunction with other plugins to create piecemeal MVPs for startups looking to maximize function and save money. It's truly a great plugin to work with.

Formidable's purpose is simple enough - easy design interface, controls in plain English, and even some advanced filters to get you along. As a plugin that you can use to create frontends to SQL databases, and an entire universe of PHP customization, make this a truly Formidable plugin.

Views are easy to make, but a little difficult to make pretty. If you know basic HTML, then doing a table with some rows is easy enough, and the output looks as expected. There is another plugin called wpDataTables that makes the marriage complete! Easily add super powerful data display and editing capabilities to front-end users with a few clicks.

As a plugin that can handle CRUD Create/Read/Update/Delete - I have found it indispensable as a tool to create complete modules for specific tasks within a company, and I can tie all that information back together for reporting using SQL.
