"Great UI, easy to use, the best support team"

Clean UI, great customisation, and the best support team I have ever experienced with any software. Feature rollouts sometime 4-5 times a week, even 2 times a day at some points. We needed an internal & client tool and evaluated other tools, we loved the flexibility and UI design of Noloco the best, which rollouts feature near-daily. Bright future for this team and product!

"Best UI platform for Airtable"

What I like about Noloco is that it comes with a beautiful UI/UX by default, as well as third-party modules (Google Drive, Stripe, Quickbooks), Zapier connections, Google Sign-in, full-page iFrames, external APIs with OAuth 2.0 support, and finally the Key command (Cmd + E) 🐐
