## Reviews

### "Fast, full-featured no-code/low-code backend" — 5.0/5

> **Vance** | *16 April 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Backendless is a truly full-featured backend solution for anything from web apps to mobile apps. It helps that there is a frontend builder as well.
> 
> **Cons**: The frontend builder and logic builder could be more user-friendly.
> 
> Backends for apps are generally hard to set up and deploy. But with Backendless, it's just a few clicks to get started. They have an onboarding series of gamified challenges that teach users how to get around and they're effective. The video tutorials make sure non-coders have enough help.
