1. 3/5Too limited with maker subscription

   The app itself looks really good though I did even try and use it. After seeing most widgets showed they required the Pro level I thought I would try the Maker level subscription hoping they would be enabled but still have a lower user limit. But sadly several were not. Didn’t look like it would be a too big a deal until I noticed pages were not available. Well that’s a show stopper for me. I don’t understand your business model. Makers will not be converting to Pros, it’s a complete different market and far too expensive for hobbyists/makers. So you have limited the functionality for makers who will be the ones to come up with creative applications and show off your product that might in turn attract users at the Pro level. Someone is either going to need a lot of users or they are not, it’s not going to be the restrictions, beyond the user limit, that motivates them to the next tier. So I cancelled my one month subscription a couple of minutes after seeing the lack of pages and I will find a different solution. Let me know if you come to your senses and drop these pointless limits.

2. 5/5This is huge!!!

   Whoa, I didn’t know such products exist. It’s so much deeper than just the IoT application builder, it’s a complete IoT solution with user management, OTA, and sooo much more I regret finding it only now, after so many months wasting on building my own app for the project my company has been working on 💖👍👌

3. 1/5I much prefer the old app pricing

   They are trying to push for monthly/yearly subscriptions. You can’t even use a lot of the widgets without upgrading. I much preferred being able to pay one time for more widgets. The app is pretty much useless without paying as they have put a paywall behind many of the widgets that were available in the old app for free. I hope they restructure the pricing for hobbyists as otherwise, I will not be using the new app. There are many other competitors in the market that allow up to 10 free devices for hobbyists. There should be something similar here. You’ll still make money from startups that you are targeting while also keeping the hobbyists happy.

4. 1/5Really disappointing pricing options

   I was a huge fan and advocate of Blynk before their new version. Even today it is the only app of its kind, where you can create your own interfaces for microcontrollers on your phone with ease. I would have been happy to pay a couple bucks a month to continue to use it, but these new prices are completely unjustifiable. In addition, the free plan is so absurdly limited that it’s completely useless without upgrading. Fortunately, it is still possible to use the legacy app, provided that you self-host your own Blynk server. I’d recommend that others try that out, it’s not as daunting as it may sound (check out hortio/docker-blynk on GitHub). You can use *all* of the widgets included with the old app, and also give yourself as many points as you need, so no in-app purchases. To the Blynk team: reconsider this change, and think about what made the original such a success.

5. 5/5Great App

   obviously its not just the app itself but blynk itself is so useful for fun projects, being able to monitor sensors and control things on your microcontrollers from anywhere you have cellular service is awesome. It’s also really easy to use and intuitive. I like the web version a little bit more but overall its still great and super useful
