"Great Plugin to add a lot of Value to your Content"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

It's easy to use and deploy a new form. The responsive behavior makes it easy to create great mobile pages with good value for the user. It's easy to integrate the forms into other plugins' territory.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Nothing really, maybe at the beginning, you need a few seconds to find all the great features, but I think this is more than a standard process with something new.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

The best way to add value is to make it interactive. The Click rate and the search value for my page got a big boost! I can add to a lot of topics unique possibilities.

"A worthy tool for web application development"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Very flexible and powerful. I started using Gravity Forms for a project, but I switched to Formidable Forms because I couldn't achieve what I needed with GF - specifically repeater fields that I can prepopulate. I found that Formidable Forms has what I need and has more features than GF, making it a useful tool for web application development.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Not much so far. Yes, it's a bit more complicated than Gravity Forms, but that's because it has more powerful features.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am building a web application for tax returns.

"Powerful and Highly Recommended Form Builder!"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable Forms has tons of features for one to try out and customize! It is beginner-friendly, navigable, easy to use, and fast! The Formidable Forms community on Slack (with experts who've been using it for over 5 years) is very helpful as well! What I like as well is their comprehensive documentation and reliable tech support. You would get more than what you pay for as it does what it says about the advanced functionalities posted on the website.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

None that I can think of... It's an excellent plugin!

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

So far, it has solved my client requirements for an enrollment form and a conference registration form that involved conditional fields, filters, and calculations. It also got some data analytics report and user tracking.

"Exceptional support and funcationality!"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Formidable forms has offered tremendous support as we created very customized forms for surveys, downloads, and contacts. They have been quick to respond and offer customized solutions. We were able to able custom styles everywhere we needed to. Highly recommend!

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

I haven't found anything I dislike enough to actually list.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to create surveys that capture personalized data and integrate the data with our CRM. It allowed us to create surveys that I did not think would be possible without completely hardcoding everything.

"Hands Down the BEST WP Forms Builder"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

I like the drag and drop builder, which made it easy over the years to throw a quick form together. But my actual favorite part is the ability to control display with detailed VIEWS of the data.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

The design of front end elements is pretty putrid. It's functional, but very dated. Fortunately, it's easily modified with CSS.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've created everything from simple contact forms to full-blown applications. I install it on every WP site I build.

"Customer service and support"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Laura at Formidable has been extremely helpful with the details of understanding how to use the shortcode filters and PHP to customize. Of course, actual customization is something you have to pay for, but help with understanding what’s happening with the code has been invaluable and definitely saved me time. Formidable has feature-rich plug-ins, for sure!

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Nothing at all. The product and support are excellent!

"The Best WordPress Form Builder (Especially for Agency)"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Ease of use. Lots of powerful add-ons with white label feature included. You can literally customize every single aspect of your form.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Since you can customize so many aspect of your form, you'll easily feel overwhelm the first few time you setup your form. But after awhile, you'll fall in love with them (Formidable Forms)

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using Formidable Form for creating simple order and booking forms, connected with my local payment gateway.

"Excellent in every way."
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

Customization. Hands down the best form builder, but that 's just the beginning. Formidable Pro allows you to take the data you collect and use it any way you need, it's hard to give specifics, but examples of what it is capable of are easy. It can be a full event management system, or a complete web store, a contact directory, or a swim team management system. Formidable was not designed to be any of these things but it is powerful enough to do it. I have been asked to do things with data that would normally require a back-end solution but instead was handled by this plug-in. WordPress is a community that grows and learns together, premium plugin's were free for many years but that model comes with many downsides and few benefits. Companies such as Strategy11 continue to offer a quality product at no expense to the community and their premium solution easily adds enough to justify the expense. They remain a strong supporter of WordPress and by extension, me.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

The licensing structure. A few years ago you were able to purchase the add-on's individually. Now they only come with a specific tier. I believe I understand why they did it this way and I probably would have done it myself, but I still don't "like" it.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I try to solve all my problems with Formidable. That may sound absurd and it does not work for everything, but I do try. We have all searched for plugins to do specific things only to spend hours finding work arounds for poorly written code or troubleshooting incompatibilities. I don't have these issues with Formidable so step 1 is always to consider how it can solve the problem.

"Formidable keeps surprising us"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

As soon as we start using a feature of Formidable, another one pops up that I am driven to learn. Keep 'em coming!

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

Only that years ago when we first started using Formidable, they offered "hire an expert". We did and unfortunately that person was less than expected. Some of our clients are still feeling the pain.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

Forms, signatures, integrations, security...all solved.

Nothing - amazing - and amazing support when I have any issue.

"Best of the best for form creation"
What do you like best about Formidable Forms?

There are 2 very important aspects about Formidsble Forms: 1. The support and availability is among the best for any WP plugin, 2. The functionality and control to create a great user experience is unmatched for both developers and drag and drop users.

What do you dislike about Formidable Forms?

There are many form builders out there and many are comparable, Formidable does have a slight learning curve because it works differently than other form builders but once you get it you won’t look back.

What problems is Formidable Forms solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Formidable to gather basic contact info with basic styling to complex pricing and configuration for data and even products. I use Formidable to reduce The time hand coding or manipulating WP.
