“AppSheet is a great tool to quickly create and share apps by simply linking them to a Google Sheet and creating user-friendly GUIs.”

Pros

“For the reports I generate into an XAML ContentPage, I am able to create a PDF file by capturing the ContentPage to an imageStream and then drawing that image onto a PDF page.”

Sole Proprietor

“There are no crippled features, no nag screens, and no artificial limits on the components themselves: I get the same DataGrid, RichTextEditor, PDF library, and Chat UI that enterprise customers pay for.”

Owner

“The integration was easy, and it allowed me to avoid the nightmare of writing JavaScript to handle GeoJSON data for specific geographic areas, since everything could be managed directly with C# objects”

Cons

“Some features in AppSheet were a bit hard to understand at first, especially for beginners who doesn't have any prior experience related to this!”

“AppSheet's no-code approach may come with limitations for more complex app requirements, where the lack of advanced customization and coding options might be restrictive.”

“Limited functionality and lack of support for more complex applications.”

Heli J.

Computer Engineer

Cons

“My overall experience with Essential Studio has not been very good. While the component library offers many features, I have run into too many issues with Syncfusion components. When problems come up, it can be difficult and time-consuming to get them resolved, especially when the issue is inside the component itself. Because of this, I am now making steady progress removing Syncfusion integrations and replacing them with my own custom components for better control and reliability.”

Development Management

“We used to use it to render expand/collapse rows that have another complex component as a child, which introduced accessibility issues.”

Mark W.

Software Engineering Tech Lead

“What I like less is the strong emphasis on the full Essential Studio bundle; as someone mainly interested in the JavaScript Spreadsheet component, the overall product and licensing model still feel a bit too MSWindows-centric.”
