Need to learn about .NET MAUI first before you can worry about implementing beautiful designs? Don't stop watching! I have a full playlist on everything you need to know about .NET MAUI, right here: th-cam.com/video/o35BEuIC-uA/w-d-xo.html
This looks great, EXCEPT, the price of this software is per application! This is fine for big companies with big pockets, but us little guys certainly can't afford $399/application to use this software, especially when we write stuff for non-profits or not-for-profit places. Reminds me of tools like Telerik & DevExpress, etc. where the little guy can't afford these, either. Gerald, keep writing your great TH-cam videos about Net MAUI so us little guys can learn how to affordably write software solutions!
Appreciate the feedback! But I like to think of it this way: if you need to hire a designer or maybe even do the work yourself to set all of this up. What is your hourly rate? I think you’ll get to that 399 pretty fast. 40 per hour and you’ll reach it in about one day of work and you probably can’t get all of this done in that time. I think it’s a fair price. But of course I can’t determine if it’s something you will want or can afford :) It goes without saying that my videos will keep on coming for absolutely free!
Thanks for the opportunity. I don’t miss any of your videos. I am an old (dilapidated, pensioner) Winforms developer trying to learn .Net Maui. I battle like crazy with the look and feel of the app I am trying to build and the Grial UI Kit looks like it could help me a lot, especially in the esthetic department. I will not be able to afford the license at this stage so I am holding my breath! I am convinced that my app can be of great assistance in the health and safety (Risk Management) industry where mobility of data is crucial.
#ILoveGrial I just love to see and try new tools, so I can use them to build new exciting things. Thank you Gerald, I usually watch your videos, keep rocking!
#ILoveGrial - Thanks you for another great video on C# and .NET MAUI. I've been using your videos along with James' to learn C# and .NET MAUI. As a lifelong programmer who's just learning C# and .NET MAUI because of its ability to be write once and run everywhere I believe Grial would really speed up the development for an application that I'm in the process of designing and coding. Like many I'm in the stage of application development where I have what I think is a great idea and no revenue stream, so I have been building on the shoulders of those who have provided free and open-source software libraries ahead of me.
@@jfversluis If you are using MS Surface line products, that is absolutely normal. Probably Windows has problem with it's graphic driver.. :) So, will you send me the license of #grial ? Or, should we butter up you, MS or #ILoveGrial etc? (PS.: Of course, we love all of you. You are super.. 🤪 )
@@benimfavorilerim not a Surface product and I will use a randomizer on the comments containing that hashtag. You can always say nice things about me of course 😌
This is great Gerald, i hope the pricing of the license gets reduced a little since it is built for developers and not many developers can afford it. Also i would suggest if they work more on the customisation parts with existing pages they created, it will be a deal breaker.
Personally I think we have gotten a bit too used to getting everything for free through amazing community contributions. The price seems pretty fair to me seeing what you get for it. Of course I can't decide who should be able to afford it or not, but I don't think you can do the same work that they put into this for less than this price. Not sure what you mean with the customisation. You can customise EVERYTHING once you've downloaded the code.
@@jfversluis I've not checked it out yet, but having customisable button, tabbar, nav bar, picker, grid etc could be lot more helpful like if you're making something kind of plug n play, we can get the code in the components folder added so we can just use it. something like that.
Thank you Gerald! #ILoveGrial because it allows us automate the process of setting up the application template. It already has a different themes, supports localization and has a bunch of controls that mostly all apps need.
And you're a winner Vladislav! We've already connected to get your prize! I can't wait what crazy beautiful stuff you will come up with. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Gerald for your valuable information. I am work with Xamarin over 5 years but i didn't knew about GriaUI Kit. Are they similar ui kits for xamarin forms or maui?
Hi, im sorry for the off topic question but did you try to implement push notifications for iOS with MAUI? I used the plugin.firebasenotification package but it miss stuff for iOS. With android everything was fine. Thank you a lot!
In Italy we have said that can be translated as "Appearance matters too". You can make the most useful app of the world, but if there is not a clear, beautiful to see and UX standards compliant interface, the client will choose another one. That's why #appearancematterstoo
I could not agree more! I've seen apps that do similar things but one maybe does it better but looks a little less attractive, the other app will most definitely win. Sad sometimes, but that's how it works! It improves UX and the joy that people have from working with your app. Thanks for sharing this!

I would like to build this application for free to them, so they can start using it around the country. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Get your Visual Studio ready! You are a winner! Please get in touch through the email address you can find on github.com/jfversluis and we'll make it happen!
@José Donizete Oliveira Junior I'm so sorry for not pronouncing your name correctly. But you have been such a loyal subscriber, thank you so much for that. I'm happy that you got randomly picked for this license! Please get in touch through the email address you can find on github.com/jfversluis and we'll make it happen!
#ILoveGrial I have been a big fan, not only of you/james/david/javier, but of the entire xamarin & .net maui community. You guys have helped me so much in my current career. Every now and then, I look for that push to keep me going and hopefully soon give back to the community by making helpful apps using the things I've learned from your channel and others. This license may greatly help me to get started, but even if I don't get it, I'll still try my best to stay tuned with the new updates and learn more from you to soon achieve my goals! Thanks Gerald!
I don't know if #ILoveGrial but definitely #ILoveGerald As a junior developer in a company where nobody is more experienced than me in .NET solutions I wouldn't be able to go on with development so smoothly without your videos. Thank you very much for all your efford to explain everything in detail and with your specific sense of humour... Since the announced date is over, I'm looking forward to the Grial Kit 5 with another 5 free licences... 😉
Haha thank you so much Libor! Appreciate that, you just made my day! While the date has passed, I didn't do the draw yet... I am overdue 🫣 you might still get lucky so stay tuned!

Thanks for the response, unfortunately all winners have been informed already: Grial UI Kit for .NET MAUI: License Giveaway Winners! 🎉 th-cam.com/video/opSccZDBeDM/w-d-xo.html
They created an awesome way for creating an application very easily! The price of the licence is expensive, espacially for small companies, or for open-source soloutions. But building this awesome toolkit costs a lot and you get all the source code as well. #ILoveGrial
#ILoveGrial I think that this tool is awesome, a lot of time and work saver, if small companies find out about this platform, they will not longer need an expert programmer to have their own application. I personally need GrialKit to offer my clients another option to develop their application since this will speed-up a lot the process. Also, I would love to use this tool for introducing k-12 students to apps development.
Thanks for your content! I would love to use the Grial Kit to buit MAUI apps. It looks very easy to use and the designs are just beautiful. #ILoveGrial
#ILoveGrial I'm mainly a Back-end .NET Developer and I've worked with Flutter several times. Grial Kit could help me to quickly dive into MAUI development, which is something I'm really looking forward to. If I won't get the license, I will purchase it anyway in the future :P
I'm working on a side project that will be a game settled in my home community. I gathered a lot of geolocations like benches, postboxes and other stuff like churches, fireguardstations etc. in the last year and now I want to build a game something like geocaching / scavanger hunt. For that it would be nice to have some prebuild functionality like #ILoveGrial on the hand. And because its a private side project, buying an "expensive" license is not an option. So: may be the juice with me ;-)
And your name is chance?! OMG! If these aren't all signs then I don't know what it... Happy birthday in advance! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞
#ilovegrial Man this would help with a project I'm developing for the tattooist and permanent make up community to track ink safety and information. Cheers for the vids Gerald
#ILoveGrial, this is an incredible tool, I jump into this video immediately I read to topic, well, I will be glad to be selected, as I will be using my access to build Banking Infrastructure that drives financial inclusion in Nigeria, and Africa. Thank you
@@jfversluis Well ... if you take Epic with their Unreal Engine, or Unity ... as an example. There you only have to pay for a licence once you have achieved a certain minimum turnover with your product. As an indie developer, you don't just have $400 (which is the cheapest offer at Grialkit, but also doesn't offer the full scope) on the side that you can invest "just for fun". Especially if you don't know whether you will recoup this expenditure through any app sales (unless you offer the app for free anyway ... then that's a horrendous expense which you will never recoup).
#ILoveGrial I would love to get one license, I'm currently struggling with the mapsui plugin and the new map feature from Grial looks stunning. I will build a "track friends" app and all those cool things would make it a lot easier for me.
#ILoveGrial I’m starting a music tutoring and e-commerce app that matches people with tutors in their area. I can’t wait to give it a try, I could really use a kickstart in my chat, e-commerce and feed. Thanks
I respectfully disagree. This is exactly the type of thing that other companies can do and let their creativity go free. Is there any other (free) framework out there that has a library with these designs etc that you can pick from? Microsoft, or any other company, can't do it all, neither should they.
@@jfversluis hmmm very true yes. I was talking more about the visual designer, I should have specified that now I come to think of it. I agree, the full scope of the tool is more of a third party thing for sure, but the visual design aspect of it is something that Microsoft should implement.
For in-depth questions about the licensing please contact the team directly. There is some FAQ here: grialkit.com/grial-ui-kit-faq From what I understand you have 1 license for 1 app in the store. That can be on 2 platforms though.
My God Gerald, this is really very useful. I would like to be one of the winners of the license to make an application for volunteer doctors in my country to make it look great. It would be very helpful for me. I want to participate for the license. By the way, thank you for sharing this information #ILoveGrial
#DissapointedInGrial I like your videos but think this might be a paid for review? I purchased the extremely pricey Grial because it looks amazing and then tried using it for a few weeks. I went through the effort of launching my app with it and then weeks later went through the effort of completely removing it. The support from Grial wasn't great, I still have a support ticket open a year later... The framework feels clunky and heavy, makes the app slower than it should be and really bumped up my APK size too.
Whoops, seems I missed your comment here. Sorry to hear about your experience. I do want to debunk the myth about this being a paid review, it's not, nothing is on my channel and if something will be in the future I will be super transparent about it. I love their product, I love sharing the love, that is all I wanted to be doing.
#ILoveGrial - Please consider me, as I find myself wanting to code more and more phone applications, but my XAML is terrible, and I don't even know Blazor. I have plans to create a parcel tracking application, and also a review application for bed and breakfasts in my area.
@@jfversluis I appreciate creators like you, who take the time to respond to almost every comment! This is what makes the community feel respected, and makes us engage much more with the creators. Competitions aside, I really love your videos, and they have helped me a lot. So thank you.
#ILoveGrial When Gerald Versluis is exited about something and starts talking abut it, that something deserves a close attention. That is a rule that I have learnt so far after watching many videos of him. So by the video title, I understood that we are up to an amazing and exiting product again that will make the development of a .NET MAUI app a breeze. With that mind set, I sat down and watched carefully the video, which, frame after frame unraveled all the mysteries contained in the Treasure Box which had the title, the Grial Kit 4. I said to my self, you must get this product to fast-forward your application development processes. Then I said to myself, well, if you say, you cannot afford a license free, just be patient and perhaps you will get a free license by curtesy of one and only Gerald Versluis. #ILoveGrial
#ILoveGrial - I need this due to i am developing a lot of mobile apps for non profit organizations for free and as a backend developer I always find it difficult to design UI and my UIs are very primitive. This will help me to design more attractive and user friendly UI for the end user.
Best of luck! Scanning through their FAQ there seems to be a discount for non-profits, that might be worth checking out if you don't win one of the licenses: grialkit.com/grial-ui-kit-faq
@@jfversluis I was on open source sphere at the time, never got introduced to FrontPage. Microsoft to me was Windows XP, Word, Excel and the legendary IE🤣
#ILoveGrial we are working on a startup project we are struggling with the UI part and we cannot afford the price. Please do help us to get us the license 🙏🏽.. Thanks and Regards.
#ILoveGrial : I have been working on a weight tracker app to help myself and others keep track of their weight loss. Grial will help with the development time and create the best-looking app out possible.
I don't know how it is over there, but here $400 is about one days rate for an external person, if they're cheap. And they cannot design the amount of pages that are available here for my app. And me doing it myself will easily go over that $400. I can't tell anyone what is cheap or not, everyone has to decide for themselves, but I think it's pretty good value for money to be honest. Additionally, Grail Kit did announce that some designs will probably become available for free, at least for you try out. Maybe that could be interesting!
#ILoveGrial . I double checked the Sample App of Grial on Android. It looks great, however it's performance is not good enough. I've tried to tap 7 times on the 'user profile' avatar to open the new page, it keeps showing 7 times of the page.
#ILoveGrial - Saw the commercial on twitter for Grial yesterday, I was surprised by the amount of controls and want to test it out, but they don't have any demo. You are here today with giveaway so timing is perfect, only need some luck .
#ILoveGrial - I need this to help me get an out quickly supporting our local health department. It is an app to help volunteer first responders get to behavioral health crisis. And as always Gerald, great content!

I never used a third party controllers, Grial Kit looks great amigo, as a developer a think the price its very high, but i wanna try to get it, beacuse its amaizing not sepnd time to create the initial interface, resources and all that things, Thanks for the video amigo
#ILoveGrial - I've always had a fascination for GrialKit, I think it's a tool that can help a lot to create fast applications.
Totally agree!
#ILoveGrial - Really need this to start .Net Maui programming and tbh starting .Net programming.
This would be a great way for that! Good luck!
Get your Visual Studio ready! You are a winner! Please get in touch through the email address you can find on github.com/jfversluis and we'll make it happen!
#ILoveGrial, I really liked the feature! With their help I think I will finally get my 1 million app! ❤
Ooh when you do get that 1 million app, please remember your best friend Gerald 🤩
@José Donizete Oliveira Junior I'm so sorry for not pronouncing your name correctly. But you have been such a loyal subscriber, thank you so much for that. I'm happy that you got randomly picked for this license! Please get in touch through the email address you can find on github.com/jfversluis and we'll make it happen!
@@jfversluis Imagine my friend! thank you for the gift.
#ILoveGrial I have been a big fan, not only of you/james/david/javier, but of the entire xamarin & .net maui community. You guys have helped me so much in my current career.
Every now and then, I look for that push to keep me going and hopefully soon give back to the community by making helpful apps using the things I've learned from your channel and others. This license may greatly help me to get started, but even if I don't get it, I'll still try my best to stay tuned with the new updates and learn more from you to soon achieve my goals!
Thanks Gerald!
Wow Adrian, thank you so much for this heart warming message, you just made my day! Thanks for your continued support!
Wow! I just downloaded the Grial demo app and it is VERY IMPRESSIVE but a bit too expensive for my use case. #ILoveGrial
It really is! Thanks!
I don't know if #ILoveGrial but definitely #ILoveGerald As a junior developer in a company where nobody is more experienced than me in .NET solutions I wouldn't be able to go on with development so smoothly without your videos. Thank you very much for all your efford to explain everything in detail and with your specific sense of humour...
Since the announced date is over, I'm looking forward to the Grial Kit 5 with another 5 free licences... 😉
Haha thank you so much Libor! Appreciate that, you just made my day!
While the date has passed, I didn't do the draw yet... I am overdue 🫣 you might still get lucky so stay tuned!
@@jfversluis ❤ Thank you very much, Gerald. ❤
You've just made my day as well. Even twice. Firstly that my comment made your day, secondly that there is still a chance to be one of the lucky Grial Kit 4 users. Thank you...
@@liborhlavac2181 You are a WINNER! WOOHOO! Please get in touch through the email address you can find on github.com/jfversluis and we'll make it happen!
@@jfversluis unbelievable!!!🤩Thank you very much. You've just made my day again... 🙃🥳
#ILoveGrial Very nice XAML UI for .NET MAUI application
Thanks for the response, unfortunately all winners have been informed already: Grial UI Kit for .NET MAUI: License Giveaway Winners! 🎉

Build a training app, the Grial controls looks like a perfect start💪
Training for what?!
@@jfversluis Armwrestling💪 will compete this Saturday. Fjordfight, live on yt.
@@HaraldSigmond Oh wow that is cool! Better not get in a fight with you then ;) Have fun and good luck Saturday!
Obs, forgot #ILoveGrial

They created an awesome way for creating an application very easily! The price of the licence is expensive, espacially for small companies, or for open-source soloutions. But building this awesome toolkit costs a lot and you get all the source code as well.
#ILoveGrial
#ILoveGrial I think that this tool is awesome, a lot of time and work saver, if small companies find out about this platform, they will not longer need an expert programmer to have their own application. I personally need GrialKit to offer my clients another option to develop their application since this will speed-up a lot the process. Also, I would love to use this tool for introducing k-12 students to apps development.
I need this to help me to speed up the development for a mobile application #ILoveGrial
Thanks for your content! I would love to use the Grial Kit to buit MAUI apps. It looks very easy to use and the designs are just beautiful. #ILoveGrial
From what I have seen it definitely is easy to use and it look great for sure. I got your entry, let's hope you get it. Thanks for watching!
#ILoveGrial Awesome !!
It is, right?!
@@jfversluis Right !!
#ILoveGrial I'm mainly a Back-end .NET Developer and I've worked with Flutter several times. Grial Kit could help me to quickly dive into MAUI development, which is something I'm really looking forward to. If I won't get the license, I will purchase it anyway in the future :P
I'm working on a side project that will be a game settled in my home community. I gathered a lot of geolocations like benches, postboxes and other stuff like churches, fireguardstations etc. in the last year and now I want to build a game something like geocaching / scavanger hunt. For that it would be nice to have some prebuild functionality like #ILoveGrial on the hand. And because its a private side project, buying an "expensive" license is not an option. So: may be the juice with me ;-)
That sounds like an amazing project, good luck with that either way!
#ILoveGrial - The best tool for fast and efficient development! ♥
🚀 super fast! And one thing is for sure: I can't come up with these designs myself 😅
#ILoveGrial - I could use this because the deadline of this sweepstake - October 3 - is my birthday. 🎂
And your name is chance?! OMG! If these aren't all signs then I don't know what it... Happy birthday in advance! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞
#ilovegrial
Man this would help with a project I'm developing for the tattooist and permanent make up community to track ink safety and information.
Cheers for the vids Gerald
Thanks Shaun! That sounds amazing! What a unique app 😄 good luck!
#ILoveGrial - I need this to help me not to be struggled with design and to give my applications agood look.
Good looks can make your application. Let's hope you get it!
#ILoveGrial I've been following them for a while and would love to use the kit for my non-profit app I'm building in .Net Maui.
So many people building for non-profits, I'm so proud of all the good people are doing. Thanks so much Michael!
This is amazing - especially for someone like me who has ideas but struggles with design :D #ILoveGrial
Haha I can relate with that! My designs are always very... functional 🫣
#ILoveGrial, this is an incredible tool, I jump into this video immediately I read to topic, well, I will be glad to be selected, as I will be using my access to build Banking Infrastructure that drives financial inclusion in Nigeria, and Africa. Thank you
That sounds like an amazing project to work on, improving the world around you, good luck with that!
I'm student from poland trying get as much experience in developing apps using .NET MAUI. #ILoveGrial
That’s great! Thanks Przemek! The prices have been given away though :)
Grial Kit itself is extremely interesting and of course helpful ... well ... the price is'nt.
What would be a good price according to you?
@@jfversluis Well ... if you take Epic with their Unreal Engine, or Unity ... as an example.
There you only have to pay for a licence once you have achieved a certain minimum turnover with your product.
As an indie developer, you don't just have $400 (which is the cheapest offer at Grialkit, but also doesn't offer the full scope) on the side that you can invest "just for fun". Especially if you don't know whether you will recoup this expenditure through any app sales (unless you offer the app for free anyway ... then that's a horrendous expense which you will never recoup).
#ILoveGrial I would love to get one license, I'm currently struggling with the mapsui plugin and the new map feature from Grial looks stunning. I will build a "track friends" app and all those cool things would make it a lot easier for me.
Hello MAUI~ #ILoveGrial
Hello William! Good luck!
#ILoveGrial I’m starting a music tutoring and e-commerce app that matches people with tutors in their area. I can’t wait to give it a try, I could really use a kickstart in my chat, e-commerce and feed. Thanks
#ILoveGrial It's look like a very interesting product ! The generated code should be nice, app load fast. Very eager to test it !
It really is! It works amazing!
Now I think to myself, why hasn't Microsft thought of this. This is what you expect from base out of the box tbh
I respectfully disagree. This is exactly the type of thing that other companies can do and let their creativity go free. Is there any other (free) framework out there that has a library with these designs etc that you can pick from? Microsoft, or any other company, can't do it all, neither should they.
@@jfversluis hmmm very true yes. I was talking more about the visual designer, I should have specified that now I come to think of it. I agree, the full scope of the tool is more of a third party thing for sure, but the visual design aspect of it is something that Microsoft should implement.
Starter version supports 1 App? This is confusing. Am i paying $400 so i can create a single app and that's it ?
For in-depth questions about the licensing please contact the team directly. There is some FAQ here: grialkit.com/grial-ui-kit-faq
From what I understand you have 1 license for 1 app in the store. That can be on 2 platforms though.
My God Gerald, this is really very useful. I would like to be one of the winners of the license to make an application for volunteer doctors in my country to make it look great. It would be very helpful for me. I want to participate for the license. By the way, thank you for sharing this information #ILoveGrial
#ILOVEGRIALKIT I love to try it
Good luck! 🍀
#DissapointedInGrial I like your videos but think this might be a paid for review? I purchased the extremely pricey Grial because it looks amazing and then tried using it for a few weeks. I went through the effort of launching my app with it and then weeks later went through the effort of completely removing it. The support from Grial wasn't great, I still have a support ticket open a year later...
The framework feels clunky and heavy, makes the app slower than it should be and really bumped up my APK size too.
Whoops, seems I missed your comment here. Sorry to hear about your experience. I do want to debunk the myth about this being a paid review, it's not, nothing is on my channel and if something will be in the future I will be super transparent about it. I love their product, I love sharing the love, that is all I wanted to be doing.
@@jfversluis thanks for the response, appreciate it
#ILoveGrial - Please consider me, as I find myself wanting to code more and more phone applications, but my XAML is terrible, and I don't even know Blazor.
I have plans to create a parcel tracking application, and also a review application for bed and breakfasts in my area.
Only if you promise me that you will get me in the best bed and breakfast places in that area! If (Gerald) then OnlyBestPlaces();
@@jfversluis I appreciate creators like you, who take the time to respond to almost every comment! This is what makes the community feel respected, and makes us engage much more with the creators. Competitions aside, I really love your videos, and they have helped me a lot. So thank you.
Thanks Donald! Trying my best, but not always easy as the audience keeps growing 😅
#ILoveGrial, I would like it to test it and start my migration from xamarin to maui, but I have been waiting for a good reason to do so.
This seems like a pretty good reason! Thanks Jhanif!
#ILoveGrial When Gerald Versluis is exited about something and starts talking abut it, that something deserves a close attention. That is a rule that I have learnt so far after watching many videos of him. So by the video title, I understood that we are up to an amazing and exiting product again that will make the development of a .NET MAUI app a breeze. With that mind set, I sat down and watched carefully the video, which, frame after frame unraveled all the mysteries contained in the Treasure Box which had the title, the Grial Kit 4. I said to my self, you must get this product to fast-forward your application development processes. Then I said to myself, well, if you say, you cannot afford a license free, just be patient and perhaps you will get a free license by curtesy of one and only Gerald Versluis. #ILoveGrial
#ILoveGrial - I need this due to i am developing a lot of mobile apps for non profit organizations for free and as a backend developer I always find it difficult to design UI and my UIs are very primitive. This will help me to design more attractive and user friendly UI for the end user.
Best of luck! Scanning through their FAQ there seems to be a discount for non-profits, that might be worth checking out if you don't win one of the licenses: grialkit.com/grial-ui-kit-faq
#ILoveGrial I going to to port my Xamarin Forms App to MAUI using Grial
Whether you win the license or not, let's make that transition happen 💪
#grial make me recall the day I use Adobe Dreamweaver for web dev #Ilovegrial
Haha blast from the past! At least you were using Dreamweaver, not Frontpage?! 😆
@@jfversluis I was on open source sphere at the time, never got introduced to FrontPage. Microsoft to me was Windows XP, Word, Excel and the legendary IE🤣
#ILoveGrial is amazing, can help to speed up app development..
That it definitely can! This is such a time-saver! Thank you for being a supportive member, really appreciate it!
#ILoveGrial we are working on a startup project we are struggling with the UI part and we cannot afford the price. Please do help us to get us the license 🙏🏽.. Thanks and Regards.
Awesome! What is the project about? Good luck, I'm sure the project will be a huge success either way!
#ILOVEGRIAL I’ve been a fan of GrialKit since the beginning however I can’t afford it. Let me have one free license please.
#ILoveGrial, i really want to test it, and promote it to my company if it's a good choice, let's discover!
Sounds great Amine! Thanks!
#ILoveGrial : I have been working on a weight tracker app to help myself and others keep track of their weight loss. Grial will help with the development time and create the best-looking app out possible.
#iLoveGrial I would really appreciate if I get one license because of I can’t afford it and I just starting off with as freelance
I'm rooting for you! But whatever will happen, I'm sure that you will have a successful freelance career, you got this!
Too expensive... sadly
I think they might have a discount going on right now! Maybe that helps
In one word, no. While I subscribe to the view, that a workman is worth his hire, for an individual developer, $400 for one app is not cost effective.
I don't know how it is over there, but here $400 is about one days rate for an external person, if they're cheap. And they cannot design the amount of pages that are available here for my app. And me doing it myself will easily go over that $400. I can't tell anyone what is cheap or not, everyone has to decide for themselves, but I think it's pretty good value for money to be honest.
Additionally, Grail Kit did announce that some designs will probably become available for free, at least for you try out. Maybe that could be interesting!
#ILoveGrial . I double checked the Sample App of Grial on Android. It looks great, however it's performance is not good enough. I've tried to tap 7 times on the 'user profile' avatar to open the new page, it keeps showing 7 times of the page.
#ILoveGrial - Saw the commercial on twitter for Grial yesterday, I was surprised by the amount of controls and want to test it out, but they don't have any demo. You are here today with giveaway so timing is perfect, only need some luck .
#ILoveGrial - I need this to help me get an out quickly supporting our local health department. It is an app to help volunteer first responders get to behavioral health crisis. And as always Gerald, great content!
Thank you Tim, that sound like an amazing cause! Good luck with that and of course, thank you for being such a loyal supporter of my channel!
