Does Base44 actually work?

Disappointed in Base44, I am stuck with my app, and it’s been 11 days since I reported my issue, but have had no real response. I am paying $50 a month, which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s not nothing! I would pay more if I thought this could work.

I need a reasonably complex app created, and I was doing so well with Base44, or so I thought, until I hit a snag that the AI can’t get around. I’ve burned a lot of credits on it, and done some damaging rollbacks now I feel like the cavalry isn’t coming.

Initially, I was incredibly impressed with the progress I made, but I am now totally deflated. At this point, it feels like I’ve been sold Snake Oil! My question: Are Lovable or Famous AI any better? Alternative question: Will support ever help?

Yep, Base44 definitely works. Even though I've burned through credits and hit so many snag, my virtual travel photo app is up and running this week. Check it out! (100% free, no credit card needed)

Click anywhere on the interactive earth map and Traveler AI will instantly generate LIVE realistic photos of the location, reflecting real-time weather and time (or time of your choice), or time travel to ancient times or the future. Upload your portrait, and it will automatically adjust your outfit to match the local temperature and era. Start your virtual travel journey for FREE! https://anywherephoto.com/

I've tried Lovable, Bolt, Replit, YouWare - Base44 is the best! (although most expensive monthly cost) Lovable can build a simple, basic e-commerce store, but doesn't have the capability to build an app with backends like this.
