Simplifies integrations, accelerates development timelines, and offers a good MVP
We integrate FlutterFlow into our app development process by first developing the code using the enterprise ID. Once the code is ready, we preview it and then download it. We have built a CI process where the code, once pushed to the gate, is processed by CI actions to generate the appropriate output, whether it is an IPA or APK file. While FlutterFlow currently focuses on website development, we write the code in a way that allows us to adapt it for mobile apps as well. We maintain a unified codebase for all three platforms, ensuring consistency and efficiency in our development workflow. FlutterFlow accelerated my development timeline on a project where I needed a simple website with basic navigation and form submissions. While it lacks advanced design pattern options and some features are still maturing, it simplifies integration and speeds up development. FlutterFlow's UI design capabilities have significantly impacted my app development by allowing me to communicate marketing concepts more effectively through visual flow. Every feature in FlutterFlow, from screen design to integrations, has been valuable for my development efforts. However, having better support for multiple design patterns and ensuring compatibility with custom changes would greatly improve the development experience. Overall, I would rate FlutterFlow as an eight out of ten.

Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"With only a browser, it is very easy to develop in a web environment."
"Oracle Application Express is easy to use, people don't have to be developers to use it."
"Oracle APEX's reporting features are simple yet powerful. The ability to quickly create CRUD screens has simplified many RAD discovery processes, while the APEX environment allows the product owners and dev teams to quickly understand the complex solutions and employ usage statistics to identify areas requiring improvement. The option to add external JavaScript tools in screen development enables the development of complicated mobile or web usage scenarios in rare cases where the APEX UX is not enough."
"A user interface is relatively simple to create."
"It provides attractive GUIs allowing professionally-styled applications without the need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."
"This product will speed up development time with helpful production aids."
"This is a good application for quickly creating public applications."
"The solution is easy to handle. The tool has helped us develop many applications since it supports SQL and NoSQL languages. We are familiar with this language. Also, the solution’s interface design and database design are very easy. It is not so much complex. I have no experience working with other solutions."
 

Cons

"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The problem of sending emails arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since it is a bit complicated or difficult to understand where to take care of the setup part to be able to just send out emails properly."
"I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues."
"Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work."
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers."
"Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement."
"There is not a lot of Wiki help or in Google, but there is some."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It should be more user-friendly."
"Some of the application interfaces of Oracle Application Express are not very attractive and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"It is expensive, but I don't know what the licensing cost is."
"I rate the product's price as ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"The solution is cheap. It's a free solution. I rate the solution's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"There is a trial version available that can be used free of charge."
"If you have a license to Oracle database, you can access APEX."
"The tool is free with the Oracle Database license."
"When buying the data license, APEX is included."
"I do not think this would be an ideal option for a small sized company or a startup when considering the salary requirements for Oracle DBA'a and developers."
