We Read 30 Painful Reviews About Form Builders. Then We Built Something Better.
Hey Indie Hackers 👋
Over the past few weeks, we read through 30 real reviews of form tools like POWR, 123FormBuilder, and others .Wow! the frustration was loud and clear.
Here are some real issues users kept repeating:
"The emails just stopped working. I lost leads."
"Support took days... or never replied."
"The pricing said $10 — I got charged $30."
"Editing was so glitchy. I couldn’t even publish the form."
"I kept getting logged out. Just to view one submission!"
These aren’t edge cases — they’re normal for thousands of people trying to run businesses online.
🧱 So We Continue Building: simpleformapp.com
We decided to fix this by going back to basics.
