We use one Hygraph backend to feed both our iOS and Android apps, perfectly.
What do you like best about the product?
The content API is truly platform-agnostic. No matter if I'm developing in Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android, I use the same GraphQL call to retrieve identical, structured recipe data. This approach guarantees a consistent user experience across both platforms. I also really appreciate the real-time content preview feature—it lets us see exactly how a new recipe will appear on a simulated mobile screen before publishing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing offline-first scenarios is our responsibility. Since the content is stored in the cloud, if someone opens the app while on the subway, we need to develop a reliable system to cache the recipes they've previously accessed. Hygraph does not offer a built-in offline solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We organize our recipes by tagging them according to dietary preferences, such as "vegan" or "gluten-free." Within our app, users have the ability to filter recipes using these tags. This process is straightforward, as the filtering logic is integrated directly into the Hygraph GraphQL query, ensuring that we only retrieve the recipes the user is interested in viewing.
The Project Lead for a Travel Blog
What do you like best about the product?
The mobile app is a game-changer. My team and I are always on the move. If we find a new, great restaurant in Lisbon, we can open the Hygraph app on our phone, find the "Lisbon Travel Guide," and update the "Restaurants" section right then and there. It’s as easy as using a notes app, but the change goes live on our website instantly. It keeps our guides feeling fresh and authentic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The text editor sometimes fights with me. If I copy and paste text from a Word document, it can bring weird formatting with it that's hard to clean up. I have to use a "paste as plain text" shortcut first, which is an extra step I often forget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-Time Updates: Our ability to update content instantly has made us a go-to resource for travelers. This keeps people coming back, and our ad revenue has grown because of the steady traffic.
Local Guides for Different Travelers: We created separate content for "Budget Travelers" and "Luxury Travelers" all within the same city guide. This lets us attract a wider audience.

The Marketing Manager for an Online Plant Store
What do you like best about the product?
I am not a techie, but I love how I can create the "building blocks" for our content. For example, I set up a content model for a "Plant Care Guide." Now, when my writer creates a new guide, it automatically has spots for a video, sunlight needs, and watering schedule. I don't need to remind them every time. The best part? We can then attach that same guide to the relevant products on our website. So when a customer looks at a Monstera plant, they see its specific care guide right there. It makes our site feel smart and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting started was a bit of a brain twister. Words like "components" and "references" were confusing at first. It took us a few tries to build our first content model correctly. Also, if I want to make a big change to how our content is structured, I still need to ask our web developer for help, which can sometimes slow us down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smarter Product Pages: By linking blog content directly to our products, customers have access to all the information they need, which helps increase their confidence when making a purchase. We also developed a "Brand Voice" model specifically for our social media team. As a result, every social post sourced from Hygraph now features the appropriate hashtags and maintains a consistent tone, helping our brand appear more cohesive.
Easy to use and friendly interface
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. As a content creator and a developer the platform enables all functions to be easily implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately the style when creating a content has a limited options to style it for a content creator. You need to be developer to give the style from custom css and this makes it a bit of a hard way of working with a team of different backgrounds
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to give access to team collegues.
Powerful CMS solution for complex websites!
What do you like best about the product?
The team's support in planning, creating, and maintaining the solution is unparalleled. So far, we have mastered all our requirements through the support and intuitive operation. Currently, about 10 people are actively working in the company with the product for content management, and another 5 are continuously developing the solution further. Everything has been working smoothly so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
AI solutions could be integrated even more deeply into the product, making the maintenance of ALT tags for images not just an extension, but a part of the product itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We administer our website, app, and smaller adjacent content on other platforms with HyGraph. This includes managing over 40 markets in more than 20 different languages and the use and management of over 10,000 products, recipes, etc.
Solid CMS even non-technical teams can crack!
What do you like best about the product?
Hygraph has been a game-changer for our small team - the API is super fast, and setting up content models was relatively easy and clear. our dev team loves how well it fits into our workflow and especially the fact our non technical team was able to be onboarded and remove a huge bottleneck and dependency we had with the engineering team
it’s a solid, modern CMS that scales well

What do you dislike about the product?
No dedicated dashboard upon landing in Hygraph. A dashboard displaying recently published and scheduled entries would be helpful.
Entries table lacks dropdown filters; manual input is required. Having a filter for each column would eliminate the need for manual input.
No side-by-side preview with edit option; preview opens in the same tab. Content cannot be edited directly from the preview.
Field-level comparison is available only in English; local values cannot be compared within the same language.
Drafts cannot be created as new versions, In addition the ability to create different version for each locale would be helpful
Allowing users to rename versions would be helpful, especially for those who edit or schedule promotional content.

Great tool but sometimes feels tedious to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
The documentation is excellent and the same goes for the GraphQL API and the accompanying API Playground.
What do you dislike about the product?
It feels tedious navigating through the "Content" section in Hygraph, for some reason I really don't like the UI. And it's not always clear when publishing an item if the child/parent items have also been published or need to be re-published. This made me lose quite a lot of time on multiple occasions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building an educational platform via which our students can navigate to different kinds of course materials (videos, slides, knowledge bases, ...) all in one place, for multiple courses and across multiple years.
Great for Personal Portfolio Website
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing negative to say about the software so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem Hygraph solved for me was making it simple to keep my professional website up to date. I needed to showcase my projects without spending too much time on the technical side and Hygrapgh allowed me to get started quickly.
