Formly - Forms, Surveys & Quizzes Reviews

I have used a number of forms and quiz apps, such as Google forms, Zoho, Cognito and the like, and have found Formly a pleasant surprise. My principal use is training course and marketing quizzes. It supports a wide variety of question types all of which can be easily combined in any quiz. That's not so easy to do in some other apps.

It is easy to use with a minimal learning curve, although, my previous experiences with similar apps may have helped, because as I comment below documentation is minimal. Quiz creation is really quick, much faster than those other apps e.g. simply pasting a bunch of answers as a block, instead of entering them individually is a huge time saver. Similarly changing layouts is effortless. It is also deceptively powerful and flexible in branching, calculating, use of variables, displaying scores (with graphics) etc. Again, the implementation is elegant and deceptively simple.

If I have a criticism, it is, as other have noted, that documentation is minimal. Fortunately, I had a session with Ash that was particularly valuable, as I learned of a number of features I hadn't known about and I doubt I would have discovered them. Particularly so, as the UI is very uncluttered (a feature) and so some functions are not obvious.

I'm no tech wiz. I have used Typeform but let's get serious it's ridiculously expensive.

I signed up and had a 1:1 walk through of the software from Ash who was brilliant and feel super ready to use it.

Great first impression.

One of my clients has an existing website with hosting issues that prevent their WP plugin contact forms from sending emails. So I was hoping that Formly could help with that. Formly solved the problem perfectly — notifications are sent from Formly rather than the website, so the hosting/email problem is no longer an issue.

I was so impressed with the ease and reliability of this form builder that I have since replaced the paid contact form plugins on all my client sites with Formly. Clients are delighted: the forms are very user‑friendly, and submissions can be recorded in a Google Sheet, which is auto-updated with entries — a huge time saver.

Highly recommended.

I recently started using Formly for creating service estimate forms and gathering client feedback after discovering it on AppSumo. While I initially ran into some hiccups with the CNAME setup, the support team, especially Ash, was incredibly helpful in resolving the issue. The form builder is a standout feature, and I think adding AI for form generation would make it even better. Overall, Formly has been a great tool for connecting with clients, and I’d rate it an 8 out of 10. I’d definitely recommend it to others.

Formly has been a game-changer for my business, especially when it comes to connecting with clients for online quotations. The form builder is incredibly user-friendly, and I love how all the submitted information is automatically compiled into a PDF. This feature has significantly streamlined my workflow.

Another highlight has been the excellent customer support. Ash, in particular, was a huge help when I faced a CNAME connection issue during setup. The team was responsive and proactive, even addressing potential glitches like metadata issues.

Overall, my experience with Formly has been overwhelmingly positive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a reliable form-building solution.

Formly is a very good app/software to keep as part of your to go tools for your business. The support team is very responsive and open to listen to ideas which is great because this is how a tool becomes elite. I highly recommend Formly and Give Formly 5 Tacos 👍🏼
