Phenomenal
I tried Universe back when it first came out & did some really neat things with it, but I opted for Wix & GoDaddy. I just returned & it’s so neatly polished that I’m preferring this over everything else now. Where others have stagnated, Universe has innovated.
AWFUL. Completely Lost the Plot
There’s just so much that went wrong, it’s hard to know where to begin. I was an original supporter of this service back in ~2020. I purchased 3 legacy plans with them that promised lifetime DNS and web hosting, zero fees on transactions, unlimited pages, etc. around 2023 they changed that without notice, putting me on the “pro” plan which has transaction fees and a 100 page limit. When I asked about them holding up their end of the bargain I got no real validation that they had done away with the promises. Instead I got, “after studying usage, we find 100 page limit is plenty. If you want zero transaction fees you can upgrade to our top tier plan.” Really gross. The service itself is also buggy. DNS servers are unstable and sometimes throw visitors the “unsafe website” screen. Customer support used to exist, now the button for it links to a 404 page, lol. The actual webpages are not good - the builder feels halfway broken most of the time and it’s a lot of effort to get stack elements to hold their shape with the intent ended design. Oh the other thing, I have tried with a couple sites to restart them, and when I did, I didn’t realize I was deleting my legacy privileges so now I only have one legacy account remaining. AWFUL service.
I love it, but it’s limited
This app has been great to me, as someone who doesn’t have the knowledge in tech, so I can grow. My issues are that I find it limiting at the PRO level. The E-commerce capability should have been upgraded to meet META standards long ago. As a business, I need to be able to have a seamless checkout experience. If the checkout system is the same at the next pay level then it’s not worth it; and, if it’s better, than you are costing entrepreneurs money that they could use to upgrade for your fancy design features. I assume anyone using PRO is for the commerce and domain features, but honestly, it’s limited and could use an upgrade. You raised the price but not the benefit.
App Issues
I’m not receiving Donations made to my website. It’s been weeks since the donations were sent and I didn’t get them. I even sent one to myself as a test and the commerce is showing no payout history. I tried getting help through the app with consistent fails. Also, I was charged for 2 plans in one day.
It doesn’t publish anything I click publish nothing
😡
Excellent App & Desktop Integration
I have used Universe to create an app style website for visitors to my Airbnb with local recommendations and information. The interface is very easy to use, and being able to make changes on the desktop app on my Mac alongside the Phone app has been seamless. Highly recommend this for any basic website.
Free Version Ridiculous
Won’t let you utilize your own domain that you purchased elsewhere than through them. Gross.
Amazing app!
Ali here, a 10 year old. I just want to say this is an Amazing app, I really recommend it. There is one problem. I love how everything is so simple. I don’t love how nearly EVERTHING uses PRO. I love this app and use it to gain me shirt sales ( aandbrosstudios.com, if you’re intrigued!). This app is a life saver! I scoured the App Store for something to make my website, finding Wix, Squarespace, and many other cheap rip offs. I found Universe and I stopped . It’s amazing! But my problem is, and I ask this with a heavy 💜 heart: make more things free, PLEASE!
i USED to love this
i used to love and recommend this app for everyone but now you can only have 4 pages without paying. If it was cheaper i'd consider it but come on :(
I have been using universe website builder for the greater part of a decade now since probably 2019
Its mid. They can do better.
Seems legit Recommend fo sure
I’ve been using it off and on for a couple of days and honestly, it’s coo. It’s limited of course due to the subscription but you’re not restricted!! I’ve seen the upgrade screen like twice. Super coo app..I highly recommend. The creators and engineers and VP actually have pages and says a lot. I can’t remember his name right off the bat but he is a minimalist frfr.
Ridiculous
Something is simple as creating a page and saving it should not force any user to go to the health articles or try to find any tech-support whatsoever for this ridiculous product. All I want to do is add one page! I save it it says it's successful I go to look at it online there it is. I go into the app to edit it it's nowhere to be found! I've restarted the computer unloaded reloaded the app nothing! Now I can't even edit the page because I don't know how to get to it because it's not listed anywhere in Universe. I pay a lot of money for my website and now I don't have any support whatsoever. So guess what I'm going somewhere else this is ridiculous! Locking out the very customers that pay you and you don't even give them tech-support!? Total ridiculousness!
Great app , sad advertisement
The only issue I have with this app it’s overall concept of going beyond the water mark or sticker in the corner of the website or at the bottom which was good and easy balance between keeping advertisement of your website and keeping privacy of owner of the website but having a big box shouting out where to download the app is maybe just slightly going beyond …
PLEASE, fix this.
The app is telling me to update to the latest, but I already am, I cant’t edit one of my web pages because it says I have to update to the latest, but overall, great app, just please fix this.
Network connection
When i try to sign up, i get "network connection was lost" when my wifi isnt even bad.
bubbly, fun, and cute but with 1 problem
amazing app. the only problem is that i can’t see past 10 previous video uploads
Bugs
Paid for menu that won’t work and can’t get refunded, app is difficult to use on phone. Layout is bad on computer
Paying
I love this app because you can chose not to pay and the app is just AMAZING...but I gave 4 stars because if your a Canadien like me your customers can only pay US money and that’s why I can’t sell anything. But I really want to use this app because I love it so please make the app easier for us Canadiens.😊Thanks
iPhone App
I am not able to log into the IPhone App
It used to be great, now not so much
Like almost everything in our world, Universe was once pretty great but now you are expected to pay more and get less.
Free version
I’m so surprised that universe has a free version!!!! And this free version is so good✨🍄🍓🍡 , i hope you guys know this app!!!
N/A
Worst app Ever
Amazing BUT
This app is perfect. Easy to use, looks really clean. The only thing is it’s intended for US markets as you can’t use any other currency which, to me, seems silly in the world we live in. I want to use this app but can’t because of this. PLEASE ADD OTHER CURRENCIES FOR PAYMENT BUTTONS.
Newest update is a joke
The app used to be so intuitive but the recent update with the constantly shifting block sizes is so frustrating and useless. Can’t get anything to look right. Had considered upgrading to a paid domain but won’t be after this. (Also, taking away free features and putting them behind a paywall is a cheap trick. Don’t think I haven’t noticed I can’t use custom colours anymore) Feeling like I may bite the bullet and switch to square space if this isn’t resolved
Needs password protection capability.
No way to password protection a page or site.
THE BEST WEBSITE BUILDER
Universe is exactly what the name says . universal . It’s so easy to build a website on it and just be creatively free . I love it . This is the only website builder I use and trust .
This is trash
You are wasting you time here you can skid this and try with nicepage.com isn so much better
I love it but...
I love this app so much, especially because my nystagmus prevents me from using computers! My only complaint is not being able to sell in pounds sterling... other than that, this app is amazing!
Not available in India
Worst app
Weird
Idk why but this just appeared in all my apps. Very odd. I never downloaded it and nobody got access to my phone so…?
好用好用
简单好用啊，而且基础功能不收费，包涵了六成以上的功能，可以自定义域名，就是语言只有英文，能添加中文版本就好了，不过设计的英语单词养都市很简单的，希望以后可以加多一点有关中文软件或者网址的链接图标，例如网易云音乐，QQ音乐，bilibili 等等
Not free
Immediately have to pay something. Lame.
Just awesome
All the continued service... awesome app!! Well done everyone involved!! I am here supporting people because they are!!
Convenient, easy to use and maintain. However...
Great in an iPad for design however you are provided with fixed width sites. There’s no capability to allow your site to fill the an iPad browsers’ width, or even set a desired width if required. The app appears targeted solely at iPhone users which is where I suspect the fixed width comes into play, to pander to the mobile screen audience. An iPad version ticks the product range box even if it is not suitable for the iPad. Unfortunately.
Doesn’t let me sign in
I have a problem bc it doesn’t let me sign in or log in and I can’t even enjoy the app and I was gonna sell my stuff that I made but ig I’ll just do it on Etsy
I'm speechless.
Im absolutely speechless of how good this app is. I tried Shopify and wix and so many to make my online store but Im just blown away with how good this app is. It has some flaws but it can help me pursue my dream in literal SECONDS. Highly recommend for new business owners.
Bad Customer service
I have been waiting for days to get any kind of response from Universe and am loosing a great deal of business because if it . I feel so frustrated there is no way to contact them even at this point to transfer my domain name to a company that is more responsive . I love designing on here but its not worth the neglect .
friendly user
so easy to make your own website
Bugs, Bugs, Bugs
There’s a new bug each & every day. Customer support is lousy, they take at least a day to respond. First I had an issue where links weren’t working, now shopify plugin is not working. I am using this to rum my business, I get stuck so often, it leaves a bad impression for my customers. Take this seriously guys.
Good app, but recently became difficult.
I love this app and use it for my business website! Easy to get a custom domain, easy to understand, easy to build a website! Until recently. They changed the way the grid works and it’s very difficult to work with existing websites. You pretty much have to start over from scratch if you’d like to update an existing one. Please fix this!!! My website looks broken if I update it!
Universe.
Great App. Wonderful Websites.
Expensive paywall for the bare minimum… not worth it
Don't bother with this app. They believe in expensive subscription tiers and giving you limited abilities and access. Look at other options. This app lost the plot
Forms not supported
Please get an update by which we can upload registeration forms simply
Costly
This is way too costly can’t spend too much money those who have just startups
Could be better
I just don’t see this app being worth hundreds of dollars a year or ever honestly. Too many glitches and I don’t believe they’ve done any true updates since releasing it. I used this website builder 2 years ago and I thought it would be better now, but nothing has changed. And I do mean NOTHING. Try working to make the app and I’ll consider upgrading.
I love it!!!
This app is so so awesome. I got a beautiful website up and ready for commerce lightning quick with a ton of customizability. With the combined forces of this website builder and ChatGPT- I was able to put together something really beautiful and resonant with my brand. It’s also super fun to use!!
Greedy and restrictive
I used to love this app for being affordable and easy to use. $9.99 for Pro was literally perfect. But for Pro to now be $24.99 is robbery. The greed is unbelievable especially in this economy. Absolutely insane!
Best ever!!!
But want little improvements! Just like personal chat room & all!! But all over is best in all web!
Not usable in a phone
The controls aren't optimised for small devices like the iPhone SE
Lifetime pro
Why there’s no option for lifetime pro membership? Before it was there actually
