FacileForms
    Not as it appears, January 14, 2008 |
This app is powerful, and its developers deserve credit for that.
But anyone who says you don't need to know any coding is having much different results than I am. Even knowing a little PHP is causing me more confusion than benefit.
The tutorials on the site have errors in them, and after users point them out in comments the writers make no attempt to fix them, and once the tutorial goes wrong it is very difficult to get back up to speed from reading contradictory comments from users at the end.
I signed up for their forum over 24 hours ago, and my registration is still "Pending approval" because apparently an email confirmation like every other site I have ever been to in my life is not good enough. So I cannot get help on the forum or post comments to the tutorials.
If you have to make simple forms like email contact forms, and you have no coding you can do it, but if you plan on doing anything more complicated than that, plan to spend many frustrating hours and days trying to figure it out, and sign up for the forum before you download because they don't approve accounts quickly.
If this was better documented, and more accurately described I would have a MUCH higher opinion of this software, but I am rating it only as fair because they claim it is a lot easier than it is, make no apparent effort to correct their documentation, and have an unnecessarily long approval process for forum registration.
