Why are Bubble Native Mobile Apps so slow?

Am I the only one noticing that published Bubble mobile apps are very slow compared to other apps? Or is it only because of my specific setup?

If anyone else feels that way:

  1. Is there anything you found to improve the speed of your app?

  2. Is there room for Bubble.io to improve the speed and are they working on it?

hey, if you send me your app ID I can ask the team to take a look. Also, have you tried asking the ai agent for optimization recommendations?

In the native apps we’ve shipped, the slowness was almost always data loading rather than the app shell. What helped most: put the constraints in the search itself instead of using :filtered on the client, show only the fields you need, paginate long lists, and stop loading data on screens the user hasn’t opened yet. Compress images before upload, because big originals hurt on mobile networks. Also check for pages with lots of conditionals re-evaluating on every change. If you share which screen feels slowest, people can point to the specific cause.
