I'm a big advocate for the PWA app concept. It works great for quickly creating and distributing apps for events.
I also dig being able to build a database of users that I can send push notifications to. This opens up an additional free communication channel. Push notifications have the interactions like SMS but without the cost.
Beezer was one of my first major purchases on Appsumo. And So far it it has been one of my best! I completely forgot to redeem my tier five purchase and it expired. In a panic I emailed the Beezer support team and they were able to manually help me redeem it. This to me shows how Beezer is not just about making money, but delivering a great product with equal concern for good customer service. So far the platform has been easy to learn and get an app up and running really fast. I personally am a designer/ marketer with no coding experience so I have been experimenting with different designs and use cases for marketing, which the possibilities are endless. Thanks Beezer team for creating such a awesome product!
I purchased Beezer Tier 5 about 20 months ago. I'm writing today to acknowledge the Beezer support team. I've chatted with several members over that time. They are always professional and courteous. Often, my issue(s) was/were self-induced. When I experienced an actual bug, the first-level support agents not only 'buck' the issue to the development team but stay involved and reported progress and success.
I paid once but am treated as a first-class Beezer citizen. I had ample time after I paid to test the available features. That means I knew what I was getting. I'm not a coder but I have 'created' over 50 apps so far. Most have been learning exercises and I feel I have learned a lot. I've reached the point whereby I feel confident enough in the product to have white-labeled an App Shell and App Platform. I cannot say that for many other LTD purchases I have made from several sales platforms.
Beezer's tagline is "Build Your Own App in Minutes & Without Any Coding". That is an accurate statement. Because of (a) that, (b) the improvements and feature additions that have occurred since I purchased, and (c) the great support I routinely receive, I give Beezer 5 Taco praise.
Beezer absolutely is correct that PWAs (progressive web apps) offer tremendous value for organizations who don’t have the resources (or don’t want) to develop fully-deployed mobile apps. The Beezer site is chock full of cool little widgets and features to enable an interesting PWA presence. There is also quite a bit of scholarly research showing a trend toward PWAs and Beezer is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
That being said, there are some major issues. The biggest is that, after your user sign up, they receive an email containing their user ID and the password they signed up with. This means that Beezer absolutely stores clear-text passwords! This is a HUGE violation of Information Security standards! So don’t use a password you can’t afford to have leak on the dark web. The other big login issue we encountered was with “App Admins” (sub-accounts). Email addresses can’t be reused by app sub-accounts. This means that if you create 4 apps for a customer, and assign admins, each admin must have 4 unique email addresses.
As far as features, one of the biggest things lacking is some way to do custom (Javascript) pages. This means you can't really pull data from an external API.
Hopefully they'll fix the security bugs because, when they do, they really have a shot at being the best in this emerging industry and we look forward to revising reviews!
It's still early days, but so far I'm delighted with Beezer. There are so many features. My only complaint is that the knowledge base isn't very comprehensive but I understand that they are expanding it.
