It's such a widely used platform that almost every IoT enthusiast ends up trying it at some point. There are tons of information sources available which makes learning much easier. The libraries and documentation they provide for additional products especially for popular development boards like ESP and Arduino that are heavily used in maker projects, are really well prepared. The drag-and-drop tools, mobile app and flexible pricing options are also strong points.

Cons

It would be even better if the developer resources were expanded and more professional support were available for advanced and upper-intermediate level projects. The drag-and-drop side could also use more advanced and customizable layers.

“Tidy interface”

Pros

The interface is clear and focused so using the app feels simple. Connecting a robot only takes a quick tap and it's convenient to check whether everything is working right from the app.

Cons

At times the app crashes or the connection drops and that's something that really needs to be fixed.

“easy to use”

Pros

It is quite userfriendly and that's what I appreciate most about it. The developer also provides training for users and that was incredibly helpful and well done.

Cons

A few important features are still missing for iOS users. It doesn't seem to be the developer's fault though and may be due to Apple's restrictions.

In the beginning the app can feel a bit difficult to use but after spending some time with it, it becomes much more enjoyable.

“Works with a wide variety of microcontroller boards”

Pros

It makes it possible to connect electronics projects to the cloud and handle different tasks without needing to write code. It works with a wide variety of microcontroller boards, including Arduino and NodeMCU which makes it very flexible for IoT projects.

Cons

The free plan is limiting when it comes to doing broader testing. To unlock the full set of features, a paid subscription is required.

“Practical features”

Pros

While working on an IoT project, I used this app as the link between our EAP board and the internet. It made the whole process much simpler and the features available were really practical and useful.

Cons

I didn't run into any downsides while using it. From what I've seen, it offers some of the best features for IoT-related work.

“Regular new features”

Pros

This tool makes it possible to connect IoT sensors and modules through a free Android app that anyone can access. The overall experience feels polished, with an engaging interface that's pleasant to use. Updates and new features come out regularly which helps keep the platform improving over time. Its no-code approach is especially helpful for beginners who want to understand IoT quickly without getting buried in complexity. The dashboard's data visualization tools are very practical during product design and development. It's the kind of app that becomes central to your workflow once you start using it. Compared with other options in this space, its online services feel much stronger. On top of that, firmware setup is fairly simple because the WiFi provisioning process is well handled.

Cons

One issue on the mobile side is that notifications seem to arrive too late and that definitely needs improvement. There are several areas where the app could still be refined. The no-code model is useful but it can fall short for more advanced or complex use cases which means extra development work is sometimes necessary. The platform may also feel challenging for inexperienced integrators who are just getting started. Delayed software alerts have been noticeable in actual use. I'd also really appreciate the option to group devices by function so they could be managed together more efficiently.

“adapts well to our needs”

Pros

What makes it stand out is how adaptable it is. With more than 5 million developers building with it, the size of the community says a lot about how scalable and well-accepted the platform has become. It's no longer just an interface tool either, it has grown into a complete platform. The REST APIs are simple, lightweight and practical for KPI monitoring on the dashboard. On top of that, it has matured a lot as a no-code development platform which makes it possible to take advantage of cloud infrastructure as well.
