6 Best free form builder apps

January 16, 2021 by Pramod Choudhary

The form is one of the most important things on a website or in an app. Without it, a site or an app won’t be able to collect feedback, email addresses, or accept payment from the users. For example, to use Facebook, you must register a new Facebook account by entering the required details on the registration page. To build a form (survey, quiz, poll, etc) manually from scratch, you must know HTML, CSS, and a programming language. The programming language will process or handle the information entered by the person who has filled the form and submitted it. Although HTML is easy to understand and learn, it takes several months or even years to learn a programming language such as Java, PHP, Ruby, etc. If you hire a developer to create a form for you, the developer may charge 50 to 200 USD. If you own a business or you don’t want to spend time finding a developer or learning a new language, you can use the following free form creator apps on your Android or iOS device or PC.
