For the first few days using Lovable, it's like magic. You ask it to build something, and it does. You can build semi-functional prototypes very quickly just by prompting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything else. It's marketed as everything you need to build fully-functional software that people will love. But it's not capable of this -- like many products powered by LLMs: It lies. It forgets things it knew a minute ago. It makes predictable coding errors.It gets basic math wrong (it underestimated OpenAI and Google Places API costs by 5-6x, costing me $1k+).
My experience with 3-4 different projects follows a similar pattern: they start promisingly, then devolve into non-functional messes that are FUBAR'ed -- as a non-coder, there's simply now way I can prompt Lovable to unf*ck its own creation.
This leaves me with projects that never meet acceptance, despite investing hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars working with Lovable.
I honestly wish I had never tried it -- I would still have nothing to show, but I'd have lots of money and months of my life back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
