It is a program that makes it possible to build mobile apps without coding. As a rule, such service has a catalog of templates and some custom options. Constructor allows anyone to create an app and adjust it to business needs.
We should admit that a builder allows creating an app much faster and easier. As it doesn’t require any code or layout design.
That is why, cost of using app builders are lower compared to money paid for hiring a dev team. Sounds attractive, doesn’t it? But have you noticed that not a lot of good apps have been created by means of a constructor? Why? It has simple explanation. A template app brings some limitations for business promotion and growth.
Apps built with a constructor may only fit a project that:
But what if an owner has ambitions to increase the project and promote it? If so, using a constructor can bring a lot of limitations. These are:
Lack of features
An app built with a constructor hard to customize to business needs. It also may lack some features which competitors have. Due to it, the app doesn’t get desired conversion rates. As a result, users leave for rivals.
Worse Performance
An application built by a team of specialists is more robust to glitches. It is much more responsive to user activity.
When a freelancer builds a template app, they compromise quality to economy. It leads to such issues as slow app loading and poor performance. The issues cause low ratings on the App Store and Google Play. Finally, the business loses profit.
No chance to scale
It is unlikely possible to develop and promote an app built with a constructor. It creates some obstacles for the business. An app without updates becomes boring for users. With time functionality loses value and doesn’t meet business needs. And such app ends up becoming useless.
Technical support issues
Professional team never creates apps with a constructor. They know that technical support of such app is a headache. It means that being created by an amatory freelancer, the app will not receive proper support. In case of error and glitches, it needs a specialist to fix the issue. It won’t be easy to find such a person in a short time if not at all.
