Seems a bit sketchy
The "templates" are basic and don't allow a whole lot of customizations.
The software also keeps requesting access to "store files on device" even though I haven't downloaded or saved anything. I've been asked this question two times within the first minute of playing around with the tool. I've blocked it every time but this does seem a bit sketchy.
Pros: It's easy to use and makes a functional app if you're okay with basic info and you don't want something trendy.
I was using this for the purpose of a digital course. They connect with WooCommerce and other integrations but I haven't found a good enough solution for ongoing updates or modules to be hosted within the app.
I could see this being good for an online store, informational app, etc. I'll update this review as I continue to play around with this tool. Maybe my rating will go up.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, your review means a lot to us. We are constantly updating our templates and layouts on the platform to make it even better. The request the platform makes to store files on the device occurs because of the file system access API, which is just an API to help simplify the process to access local files and to make your usage considerably more convenient on the platform.
The file system access API does little more than allow programmers to create effective applications that communicate with files on a user's local device., such as IDEs, photo and video editors, text editors, and more. After a user grants the platform access, this API allows them to easily read or save changes directly to files and folders on the user's device. Beyond reading and writing files, the File system access API provides the ability to open a directory and enumerate its contents. You do not have to enable file system access API, it’s just there for the convenience of our users.
We are sure the more you explore our platform the more satisfied you will be. Once again, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback. If there is anything else we can do to help you with the platform, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected]
Kind regards
