Does however require external services such as Node-Red to perform more complex operations or as a gateway to non blynk firmware or communications such as MQTT ----- ### "Best in Class for (IoT) Internet of Things" — 5.0/5 > **Hannan** | *9 March 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. It allows easy interfacing options for tons of hardware devices. 2. The software is feature rich with the availability of tons of widgets. 3. The community support and documentation is super useful. 4. The coding structure is easy to understand and the change in hardware does not involve a major change in the underlying Blynk code. 5. Server side programming is available.(changing pins on the app allows to gather and send data at different pins without the need to add it to the code) 6. Worth every penny\! > > **Cons**: 1. I believe that the cost of custom app development can be reduced specially for the individual needs. 2. The team can think from an education perspective so as to bring Blynk easily in IoT training. > > 1\. I utilizes Blynk for teaching students Embedded Systems \& Internet of Things Development because it allows for Rapid Development. 2. I have used Blynk to building individual projects as a hobby. ----- ### "Great product\! But there plenty of room for improvement" — 3.0/5 > **Mohamed Ali** | *9 March 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1) Blynk allows to Integrate some pretty impressive features in the project at a record time, mainly because the use of it's available widgets will dramatically reduce the amount of code to be written 2) for the same reasons mentioned above, Blynk can be a powerful tool to introduce absolute arduino beginners to a lot of principles and allows them to use these functionalities without the need to learn everything before 3) the amount of customization possibilities offered by blynk is very superior to any other available app > > **Cons**: I think they can offer more widgets for completely direct communication between the device and the smartphone (Mainly I'm talking about Bluetooth). Also i really wish that they consider offering a widget for reading from the phone's serial USB terminal so we can have the possibility to read data from the device by connecting it to the smartphone by OTG cable (at least in the Android version of the app) > > It was so much fun\! ----- ### "This is the best service to build IoT applications" — 5.0/5 > **Rithvik** | *15 November 2018* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blynk makes it so easy to build IoT applications with all the built in features. From simple to complex applications Blynk can handle it all. Monitor any kind of hardware using in build modules and widgets. Control most the hardware using connecting to the blynk cloud. There are many other ways to connect to Blynk like bluetooth, usd, BLE etc. Building your project has become so easy using Blynk services. > > **Cons**: This is almost perfect platform building an IoT project, They can give some more credits to add widgets for free tire members. > > Building projects has never been easy without Blynk. No stress of building a platform for your product this is a ready to go platform. Give it a try you will start loving it. ----- ### "IOT Platform" — 4.0/5 > **Aqsa** | *15 January 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I cam across this software during the deployment of my final year project, this platform provides an easiest way to plot and visualize the data, logging and remote controlling of IOT devices. It saves me during my FYP evaluation. > > **Cons**: Although the software was good but the energy balance is limited in free tier and being student it is difficult to finance the Blynk app. U can just add button and 1 or 2 graphs in unpaid version > > Overall experience was awesome, I have used multiple times in various project even recommend too many colleagues and junior, really a lifer saver for the electronic and IOT engineer it helps to create a best demo of any project instead of developing IOT App from scratch another best point in Blynk is it provides easiest configuration with hardware modules ----- Page: 1 / 44\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/189259/blynk?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/189259/blynk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
