"A Low-code tool that works"
What do you like best about Glide?

It is a very versatile and easy to use low code tool. It has a potential to create applications and web pages with little effort and a professional result. It also allows integration with different spreadsheets, making the data easy to manage.

What do you dislike about Glide?

Glide has technical limits and quotas that can affect the scalability of a project in the long term. It does not allow customizing the interface of some components through HTML/CSS/JS.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed of development and implementation of projects, especially for mvp. Allows clients to actively participate visually in all phases of project development

"Glide - my assistant in school work and for personal needs"
What do you like best about Glide?

One of the most beneficial aspects of Glide is its versatility and ease of use. Educators and students can create interactive and engaging mobile apps without extensive coding knowledge. With Glide, educators can design customized apps for various educational purposes, such as delivering course materials, conducting assessments, and facilitating collaborative projects. It enables seamless communication and sharing of information between teachers and students, enhancing the learning experience. Glide's regular updates and improvements ensure educators access new features and functionalities, enhancing its educational utility.

What do you dislike about Glide?

Like all schools in Croatia, our school has a limited budget, so we cannot have the school pay for a subscription, even though the educational plan is really favorable. It would be great if Glide could provide us with one project's premium features, but if we want to publish it publicly, we must pay. So, I suggest a payment per project, not per team, to make it easier to assess the cost and consider subscribing. Other dislikes or comments I don't have, Glide is brilliantly designed!

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Glide for creating educational content and efficiently organizing educational materials. Glide also simplifies the administration of educational activities and helps me tackle administrative tasks. Instead of using paper forms, I create a simple and intuitive mobile application in Glide that assists me in organizing and tracking educational content and administrative duties. This leads to improved productivity and a better experience for me, my colleagues, and my students.

"Game changing tech to enable lighting fast MVP development independent of developers"
What do you like best about Glide?

What I like best about Glide is its user-friendly interface and the ease of turning spreadsheets into beautiful, functional apps. The drag-and-drop feature makes it extremely easy to design apps, even if you don't have a coding background. The real-time updates from spreadsheets to the app are seamless, which makes data management efficient. Glide's ability to integrate with Google Sheets is also a significant advantage, allowing for easy collaboration and data sharing. The ample template options and customizable features ensure that the app can be tailored to the specific needs of the project. Additionally, the support community is very active and helpful, which is a great resource when running into challenges or looking for inspiration.

What do you dislike about Glide?

Performance issues with larger apps: As the complexity and size of your app grow, there may be some performance issues. Glide can sometimes be slow to load or update apps with large amounts of data. Limited offline functionality: Glide apps need internet access to work optimally. While there is some offline support, it's limited and might not suit all use cases, especially for users who frequently need to work without internet access.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

Glide is solving several key problems in the realm of operations management and scaling, particularly in the context of creating technology-driven solutions and enhancing transparency. Ease of App Development: Glide simplifies the process of creating mobile applications. As a repackaging business, we have leveraged this platform to develop an operations management app, which enables our teams to monitor and manage our operations without the need for extensive programming expertise. This has significantly reduced the time and resources traditionally required for app development. Real-time Data Management: Glide's integration with Google Sheets allows for real-time data updates. As changes are made in the spreadsheet, they automatically reflect in the app. This feature is particularly useful in our operations where real-time information is crucial for decision-making, problem-solving, and maintaining workflow continuity. Scaling Operations: As our business grows, the ability to quickly and easily update our app to accommodate new processes or scale existing ones is invaluable. Glide’s flexibility and ease of use mean we can adapt our operations app to our needs as they evolve, without having to hire a team of developers or invest in costly software upgrades. Increasing Transparency: Glide has also fostered greater transparency within our operations. By consolidating data from various processes into a single app, we've made it easier for team members to access and understand our operations. This has improved communication, collaboration, and overall efficiency. Additionally, it has enhanced accountability, as actions taken within the app are traceable and visible. Automation and Efficiency: By automating routine tasks and processes through the app, we have been able to streamline our operations, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. This has increased our operational efficiency and allowed our team to focus on more strategic, value-adding tasks. In conclusion, Glide has been instrumental in our journey towards a more technology-driven and transparent operational structure. It has helped us scale effectively, maintain real-time oversight of our operations, and foster a culture of accountability and efficiency.

"Fast, practical, affordable, and very easy to learn."
What do you like best about Glide?

The simplicity and ease with which we can do anything, sometimes using workarounds, but I have already made 11 apps so far, including 1 CRM app, 1 production control app, 1 delivery app, 1 financial management app, 1 meeting room scheduling app, 1 expense management app for the company, among others. In other words, very versatile!

What do you dislike about Glide?

I don't like some bugs, sometimes interface bugs can embarrass us in meetings. It has happened to me before. Another thing that I'm not sure if I can consider negative or if it's already in the plans to be done is the lack of a possibility to integrate with a report generator like SQL's Report Create. I would also like loop functions in the action manager.

"Best No Code Serious"
What do you like best about Glide?

Glideapps help my startup raise funding and create POC for investors or your client to understand what your web app can do. Especially if you are lean solo entrepreneur.

What do you dislike about Glide?

Right now, Glideapps is really powerful, with rich features and community, but the key drawback is the price. But compared with other no-code, I have to admit that Glide is not that expensive.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used many no-code, low-code tools. Glide is just simply easy; the learning curve is not too much to handle compared to others. Glides is easy and fast to fix and debugging error.

"Powerful and Beautiful"
What do you like best about Glide?

Speed for development, beauty, data management and speed sync

What do you dislike about Glide?

Still don't have "triggers after update" or "triggers on create" but maybe Glide will release this feature anytime soon. Also, you can't customize some buttons colors once you've selected the color theme, but I also guess that Glide will allow this anytime soon.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing data driven beautiful web and mobile apps based on users roles, with variety of features that creates a great UX while managing data powerfully.

"Glide light and powerful tool"
What do you like best about Glide?

Glide is an excellent tool to develop custom solutions, it helps you to be close to your users (employees, guests, clients). It is light and can be installed on any OS, it has more and more features that help us create more easily, and that make it more powerful. In addition, its price is very accessible or you can even use it for free. I love glide, because it has allowed me to streamline processes with apps such as Order Control, a Ticket System and even an app for a wedding. Glide has no limit, only the imagination and I am very happy and grateful with it <3.

What do you dislike about Glide?

What I like least about glide is that my 500 free lines run out hehe, and that at times I have gotten confused in reaching a solution with the relationships, but I see with joy that there is a lot of documentation that I still need to discover.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to have the information at hand and to inform users in a timely manner, as well as to keep track of tools, assistants, events, create graphs. It's a very useful tool, and I couldn't mention all its capabilities." I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.

"¡GlideApps cambió mi vida durante los momentos más desafiantes de la pandemia!"
What do you like best about Glide?

Quiero compartir mi experiencia sobre cómo esta increíble plataforma me ayudó a salir adelante cuando estaba luchando por encontrar trabajo y cómo se convirtió en la base de mi propio emprendimiento. Cuando la situación económica se volvió difícil y las oportunidades laborales escaseaban en todo el mundo y más en mi país y estaba recién graduado, descubrí GlideApps. Esta plataforma me abrió un mundo de posibilidades sin necesidad de conocimientos en código. Fue como una revelación, ya que me permitió crear aplicaciones poderosas para grandes empresas sin ninguna dificultad. Gracias a GlideApps, pude desarrollar una aplicación para una empresa constructora contratista Cerrejón SA la empresa minera más grande de mi país. Fue asombroso ver cómo mi aplicación personalizada satisfacía sus necesidades específicas y mejoraba su eficiencia operativa. Esta oportunidad me abrió las puertas a un trabajo estable y gratificante en la empresa Compañia 7R. GlideApps se convirtió en mi aliado para destacar y hacer una diferencia en el mundo laboral. Lo que más me sorprendió de GlideApps fue lo fácil que era utilizar la plataforma. Su interfaz intuitiva y las herramientas visuales hicieron que la creación de aplicaciones fuera un proceso fluido y sin complicaciones. A pesar de no tener conocimientos en programación, pude diseñar y personalizar aplicaciones de calidad profesional en poco tiempo. Además de su facilidad de uso, GlideApps ofrece una amplia gama de funciones y características que permiten crear aplicaciones poderosas y atractivas. Desde la gestión de bases de datos hasta la integración de servicios externos, GlideApps cubrió todas mis necesidades y más. Fue una experiencia gratificante descubrir cómo una plataforma tan accesible y amigable podía ofrecer resultados tan impresionantes. En resumen, GlideApps ha sido una verdadera bendición para mí. No solo me proporcionó una herramienta para impulsar mi emprendimiento y conseguir un empleo gratificante, sino que también me mostró el potencial que puede tener alguien sin conocimientos en código para crear aplicaciones de calidad empresarial. Recomiendo encarecidamente GlideApps a todas aquellas personas que deseen hacer realidad sus ideas y convertirse en agentes de cambio en el mundo digital

What do you dislike about Glide?

Lo que casí no me llama la atención (aclaro, más que todo por la devaluación de la moneda de mi país) es su modelo de facturación, pero vale mucho la pena, es la mejor plataforma!

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gracias a GlideApps, pude resolver eficientemente la gestión de obras de construcción, compras, facturación y control de almacén en mi empresa. Esta plataforma me brindó las herramientas necesarias para centralizar y simplificar estos procesos de manera efectiva. GlideApps también fue fundamental para obtener actualizaciones en tiempo real sobre el estado de las obras y generar informes diarios de manera eficiente. Esta plataforma me permitió mantenerme al tanto de los avances de las obras y proporcionar informes precisos y detallados de manera fácil y rápida

"The fastest & simplest tool to build your internal apps"
What do you like best about Glide?

With Glide, it was easy to quickly build internal apps used by our operations team on a daily basis. It saved hours of work for the eng team and loads of money for our startup.

What do you dislike about Glide?

App performances would decrease as the data size increased, forcing us to backup daily and remove data. Performance has drastically improved recently but remains a significant concern and headache.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Glide we were able to build apps used by our operations team and our partners making it way faster and organized to fulfill daily operations for our business.

"For me the easiest user interface and the "i have everything" package for a No-code tool"
What do you like best about Glide?

I love how easy is to create a PWA. With very straightforward configuration you can create a very nice-looking app with authentication, table relations and of course integration with ChatGPT. I just..love it!

What do you dislike about Glide?

The only small downside for me is the 10 seconds reload time of the databases when I have to it manually, but everything else is spot on.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

My goal is to create the best internal tools that employees will not hate using. With Glide I can do that for very small amount of time and effort.

"Newbie and Excited to Go Live!"
What do you like best about Glide?

I hired Jamie Rotbert as a Glide SME and couldn't be more pleased. Jamie fully gets it, and my biz on just two calls. I submitted my Word and Excel Q&A docs, and he is completing the task of my need/want for process improvement. His vision and skills align greatly with my magnificent obsession to bring clarity where complexity exists and simplify and amplify a procurement headache for technology buyers across the U.S.

What do you dislike about Glide?

That I did not know about Glide sooner. I wonder what my bottom line would have been over the past years had I been aware of your product and services.

"A hairdresser can do it"
What do you like best about Glide?

The software is incredibly easily to use even for someone who knew nothing about tech and had never even used excel sheets before tuning into Glide. I built and launched my first app in only a couple months, after wasting almost 2 years trying to figure out to get funding for developers to build my app idea. I also 1000% love and rely on the community for help, for a sounding board, and for brilliant ideas.

What do you dislike about Glide?

They are growing so fast that sometimes it's hard to keep up with everything new!

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

Glide is allowing non technical people to quickly and easily build in no-code without them having to be boxed into a template or having to deal with a high learning curve that would take a significantly longer to master. It's the perfect in-between!

"Highly recommend! Creating apps in a matter of minutes is very real"
What do you like best about Glide?

If you know what you want your app to accomplish/serve the customer needs, and have some experience developing logic-driven systems, then Glide's pages & plugins are a great way to develop apps without writing a single line of code. Also the Glide community is amazing at offering support/solutions/tips with a fairly good turnaround time!

What do you dislike about Glide?

As a product designer, this tool is limiting from achieving custom designs or ux flows; it is understandable that with no-code, templates become necessary. So if I could ask for a feature then I would ask for more customisation options as a designer.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a company building quiz games. We use Glide as a tool for creators to add questions, review others' questions, and compose quizzes which appear on our platform. Its slightly gamified with XP & Leaderboards for the creators.

"Great No Code App for MVPs"
What do you like best about Glide?

Glide is an amazingly easy-to-use no-code app builder. It is amazing how you can build an app off of a Google Sheet and then automate it outside of Glide with IFTTT. I highly suggest anyone use Glide to get their initial MVP build to test their product.

What do you dislike about Glide?

It is great to get an initial MVP out the door, but when you want to expand or grow your app, it can be tough to add a ton of custom functionality.

What problems is Glide solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to build an MVP mobile app off of a Google Sheet. It was really easy to use and I built a functioning app in less than a day.
