What do you like best?
Having never built apps before, Fliplet is a powerful tool which makes app building simple and effective!
The vast array of features that are drag and drop mean you aren't required to have a coding background to build an app - this makes life so much easier, and the turnaround time to build an app is dramatically increased. From my perspective, the Dev team can expand on the intial framework I've built, meaning they have more time to focus on the complex coding for specific requirements - it's also a good starting platform to understand code and how it can work in the real world when making cool apps.
Fliplet can be used by both novices and expert coders - making it the perfect all rounder when building apps in ranging complexities.
What do you dislike?
Fliplet are great at trying to inject additional components and features regularly, usually any dislikes we have (or additional requests) are discussed thoroughly and where possible, they'll try to make them happen.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend if you need to build apps, and want the flexibility to give everyone the chance to build them (both novice users and people who know code) - this is a great platform to cater for all!
During the trial phase Fliplet were really hands on, their customer support both during trials and now in real life use is excellent.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The biggest problem we encountered - building and distributing apps quickly and efficiently due to capacity of the team. With Fliplet, this is now achieved as it isn't only the Dev Team using this platform. As BA's - we now have the flexibility to turn business idea's into a framework with solid features - this looks like we're turning around apps rapidly and with Dev help, adding any complex code.
Personally, I've managed to build a few apps with minimum code, and the code itself is simple enough for a Dev guy to explain and then reuse in other apps where applicable. Not only is the platform giving me the flexibility to build cool apps, it's also giving me the opportunity to liaise with the Dev team a lot more and I'm picking up basic coding lessons and applying them to future projects.
It's a win win really - to the business we're delivering rapidly, and internally within the team we're taking the pressure off the Dev team by learning some coding basics and progressing our own coding knowledge.
