It's slowly getting better. The support now seems to have a quicker turnaround, although I'm unsure how consistent this is. Everyday there seems to be improvements. I'm going to stick with them... for now.

Quand je souhaite créer une app, le system ne m'affiche pas l'App, aucune donnée, et ce, sur tous mes appareils peut importe ma position.

Using Bolt i've built a prototype app in about 3 days at the cost of like $200 - something that would have taken weeks with a developer and costing far more. However, if Bolt had actioned half the things i'd asked it to, i'd have spent less. Consequently. Bolt is both VERY good and VERY bad at a few things. Sometimes it solves the most complex of issues, at other times it needs prompting many times to fix the same thing and argues with me that it's done, when it's clearly not and has been forgotten. Simple things like replacing an image file, or API keys - telling me they are / are not there, when the opposite is true. I have had several issues resurface, both API and UI led, and despite trying to bookmark and signpost the known fix, Bolt ignores . It can be very frustrating at times, but at others i see traction beyond what a Developer would have provided. All this said - I'm now at the point where i've deployed a usable POC that i can use for pitching with. It's pretty robust and does enough of a job to demonstrate what i'm trying to build. I'd never have gotten this far on my own and probably wouldn't have fronted the £20k of equivalent dev time to get something running. Bolt seems to have security well handled but even so some of my API keys were exposed and had to be moved. Some of the files got quite big so needed to be refactored - might be what causes the 'goldfish' effect when prompting to fix the same problem over and over. i'd not be so comfortable going beyond beta for all of these reasons - i don't trust that the app would work at scale. The app def needs pen testing, and there will be plenty of edge case bugs that i just got fed up trying to fix - but i've got enough now to test my app with a small user group, and then hand over to a proper dev if i'm able to validate. I dislike the whole marketing bait tack that vibe code tools are going down; 'build and publish in a day and start making money tomorrow' - because it's clearly not that easy, or safe to do. but i'm a lot further down the line as a result of this tool.

I have developed some amazing products with the application. I am a developer, and a database guy. It has turned my development time into 10% of what it would have been. But - When they fall on their face they fall hard. The worst part is that when there is a problem they will not admit it. The interface stops, cannot get a response back, problems take weeks to resolve. I love the app, hate the support. At least if they would admit there was a problem and update their site accordingly that would be wonderful so you would know they were working on it. I'm on the $100/month plan and happily so because of the work I have been able to develop.

I wasn’t impressed with the software but the customer service was FANTASTIC. I requested a refund on a Sunday and a REAL person responded within 3min. My refund was given in less than 24 hrs w such a friendly person. Once they get the bugs worked out, I will definitely come back to them again.

I was working on a dashboard using the paid plan, and after making just one change the entire interface broke, leaving only scattered icons. I spent hours trying to restore the original design but could not. The experience was very frustrating. The flashy YouTube videos make it look perfect, but in reality it can be disappointing. I first rated it one star, but later updated my rating to three. Despite its issues, it still helped me once I stopped relying on it fully and instead used it for smaller tasks step by step.
