Save Your Time and Money - Mobiroller Ignores Users and Refuses Essential Updates
I'm writing this review after spending thousands of hours building two elaborate educational apps on Mobiroller, hoping to save others from the frustration and wasted investment I've experienced. What started as an exciting project turned into a nightmare of ignored requests and broken promises.
The Core Problem: Zero Response to User Needs
I create educational apps with extensive, detailed content. For this type of app, a global search function is absolutely essential - users need to type in keywords and quickly find the specific information they're looking for across all sections. This isn't some luxury feature; it's basic functionality that users expect in 2025.
I've been requesting this global search module for months. Not just once or twice - I'm talking about constant, repeated, polite requests through every channel available. The response? Complete silence, vague deflections, or replies that take literal months to arrive.
The Run-Around
Here's what dealing with Mobiroller support looks like:
- Submit a feature request or question
- Wait weeks with no response
- Follow up multiple times
- Maybe get a generic "we'll look into it" after a month
- Wait more months
- Eventually get told "we're not adding that feature" (if you're lucky enough to get an answer at all)
After all this time begging for a basic feature that would make my apps actually functional, they finally admitted they have zero plans to add global search. Months of my time wasted, and they couldn't even give me a straight answer upfront.
The Bigger Picture: A Platform Going Nowhere
This isn't just about one feature. It's about a pattern that anyone considering Mobiroller needs to understand:
1. Dead Roadmap: Check their public roadmap - it's a ghost town. No meaningful updates, no new features, nothing that shows they're actively developing the platform.
2. All Take, No Give: They're happy to collect your subscription money every month, but where's that money going? Certainly not into platform improvements or customer support.
3. Ignored User Base: I'm clearly not the only one requesting features and getting nowhere. The development team seems to have completely checked out while the billing department runs like clockwork.
What This Means for You
If you're considering Mobiroller, ask yourself:
- Can you build your app with ONLY the features they have right now?
- Are you okay with zero platform evolution?
- Can you accept that if something doesn't work for your needs, it will never be fixed?
- Are you comfortable investing hundreds or thousands of hours into a platform that might abandon you?
The Financial Reality
I've invested not just money, but thousands of hours of my time - time that has real value. When you calculate the opportunity cost of building on a platform that doesn't support you, the real cost is astronomical. I could have built these apps on a different platform that actually listens to users and continues to develop features.
For anyone making educational apps, informational databases, or content-heavy applications - you NEED search functionality. Without it, your users will be frustrated, your app will get bad reviews, and all your hard work creating great content becomes nearly useless because people can't find what they need.
What They Could Learn From This
A successful app platform should:
- Respond to support requests within days, not months
- Be transparent about roadmap and development
- Actually implement user-requested features (especially basic ones)
- Show they value the people building on their platform
- Update and improve continuously
Mobiroller fails on every single point.
My Recommendation
If you're just starting out: Look elsewhere. There are other app builders that actually support their users and continue developing their platforms.
If you're already on Mobiroller: Set realistic expectations. What you see is what you'll get, probably forever. Plan accordingly and don't count on any improvements or new features.
If you're Mobiroller reading this: Start listening to your users. Answer their questions. Update your platform. Show you care about the people who are paying you every month. It's not too late to turn this around, but the clock is ticking.
Final Thoughts
I really wanted Mobiroller to work. I invested enormous amounts of time because I believed in what I was building. But a platform is only as good as the company behind it, and Mobiroller has shown they're more interested in collecting subscription fees than supporting the people who pay them.
Don't make my mistake. Your time is valuable, your ideas deserve a platform that will grow with them, and your users deserve apps built on technology that actually works for them.
Learn from my experience and choose a platform that will be a partner in your success, not an obstacle to it.
