Our take
Almost everyone of all ages has a device capable of running mobile apps, but the ability to make and deploy utilities and games is limited to those with extensive programming abilities. Thunkable is a no-code development platform that lets anyone design, develop, and deploy native mobile applications without having to write a single line of code.
Though there are already a number of low- and no-code mobile app building platforms (including FlutterFlow, AppyPie, Builder, and more under development), Thunkable's platform allows more freedom to design than competitors. Thunkable is unique in providing tooling rather than templates, emphasising the freedom to build anything with its drag-and-drop interface. Thunkable’s simple yet robust cross-platform app builder has equipped more than 3 million users to create over 7 million apps.
The company’s Series B funding round was led by Owl Ventures and had support from DJ Diplo (Thomas Pentz). Thunkable is focusing on enhancing third-party integration, improving native device functions (like NFC and Bluetooth), and boosting shareability & collaboration. With recent design and accessibility innovations, such as its Figma import capabilities, Thunkable is a game-changer in the no-code space.
