Bolt Reviews

Very unethical

It works good for the first few sites but they ve made it so that it stops doing certain tasks you ask it to do or starts deviating from it deliberately resulting in you using more prompts therefore having to buy more credits Morality over business model any day

Only creates bugs and errors

Only creates bugs and errors reiterates over the same wrong solution intents It costs millions of token trying to fix a little authentication bug In the end bolt didn t manage to fix it but consumed almost five million tokens and I had to fix it manually

I ran into the same issues that

I ran into the same issues that everyone had Multiple iterations of fixing errors detected and clicking Attempt to fix eats up all the Tokens I have used 20M tokens so far but could not finish a simple landing page with the interactivities I wanted I even copy pasted all the codebase into one single text file and used ChatGPT 4 to make corrections Then I ask ChatGPT to generate the prompt for bolt new Guess what bolt new attempt to fix via multiple iterations deplete my Tokens ends up with no changes at all My request was simply to display a button on certain conditions in the database I believe it should not exhaust our Tokens when it attempts to fix the errors created on its own I don t mind if it gets my Token only when I make a new request Morally wrong almost fraud scam-like business model Why can t they just build it so that bolt purposely makes errors a couple of times so it depletes our Tokens completely Also I don t think they read users feedback don t care Otherwise this must have been fixed ages ago

I tried using bolt new to create a

I tried using bolt new to create a small MVP but it seems like a scam The service burns tokens incredibly fast without providing any functional minimum viable product No matter how much I improve the hints it just keeps consuming credits without completing the project Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience Would not recommend

Worst development platform ever

Terrible platform designed to scam people A platform that generates problems not functional products A platform created to milk your money I spent 10M credits in just few hours trying to create a Dashboard panel with database functionalities Worst decision to use this platform A lot of issues on their github page but almost none solved I think instead keep milking people money you should start to be active and improve the platform I also noticed that you are hiring I assume that you treat your employees in the same way as your clients That s the reason they run away Start treat them as they deserve if they are good at what they do They produce your revenues

A nightmare

A nightmareYou can t develop web app on this platform It s terrible Dont spend time with it

Stay away go to Lovable dev builder

It has potential but it pisses me off so much It keeps getting lost in its own loop logic and tries to do the same thing over and over It burns through your tokens doing the same thing over and over not fixing the issue It actually has the potential to be great but it is so buggy and gets stuck on the silliest of tasks that end up screwing everything up The back up system is a joke especially i fyou need to fork your project because of the systems screw up then you need to go reconfigure everything It keeps deleting my env file with all my API keys then I need to go fetch them all and do 2FA with Stripe and other services I restarted my project on Lovable and it is SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER - go to that instead

You think you have found the perfect

You think you have found the perfect solution for a non-coder to create apps but then you realise after spending 30m tokens that it was too good to be true It started off great with basic CRUD and user auth but then when you try to add small functionalities it breaks and I m faced with an app that used to serve my basic needs and now doesn t even do that What REALLY makes me mad is you prompt it to fix the issue it create it tells you that it can see the problem and will fix it and it doesn t so you try again oh yeah I understand now I see the problem it should be fixed now round and round we go spending millions of tokens and going further back I hope the company will take all the negative feedback and improve things I was on the 100 per month plan but cancelled after additional spending got out of control I felt like a gambler chasing a winner and not finding one Support is very poor too
