I love FlutterFlow, it's super easy to use, once you understand a lot of the principles it's not that hard at all. However, I am soooo sick of the workarounds... FlutterFlow never actually seems to fix or improve any of the gaps they create. There are so many missing features, and even just essential functionality within existing features that are completely missing, yet very much needed.
It doesn't feel like the devs at flutterflow actually take much of the feedback we provide. They seem way too focused on increasing their immediate user-base with flashy new features like AI rather than making it a million times easier for existing and future users to create and launch their apps faster (which ironically, feels backwards for a company looking to scale it's revenue, people would pay for FlutterFlow subscriptions sooner without so may workarounds since they could actually complete their apps sooner). It's taking me so much longer to create my app because I need to find constant work arounds for things that should already exist and be easy to implement at this point. FlutterFlow just feels like an MVP creator, and nothing else most of the time. I'd love to continue using flutterflow after my app is launched, but as soon as I can afford it I'll likely completely move away from FlutterFlow since there are so many limitations that just should't exist. I know thousands of others feel similarly based on what I've read online. It needs to really be a tool for creation, launching, and growth, not just a temporary solution for people who can't code. FlutterFlow should find more pride in the major apps with a massive user-base that could be created with their platform, not just focusing the number of small little projects that seem cool but don't seem to go very far.
We also really need Increased third-party support (ie, better SupaBase support, not forcing users to use Firebase for any & everything, etc), improved existing features, adding new features that remove the millions of unnecessary work arounds, and genuinely taking the feedback of the millions of users who would likely start paying for FlutterFlow much sooner to launch their app given there weren't so many work arounds with no simple solutions. I've seen posts years old with a request for a very simple improvement, and have seen similar posts repeatedly asking for the same or related feature, and those improvements have never came into existence. It's really upsetting because I love FlutterFlow so much. I understand it's a low-code tool, but there is so much it's missing, and so many restrictions and limitations that really create a lot of friction in the development process.
Please FlutterFlow, we love you, your platform is amazing! Please listen to our feedback!!
