Pros and cons

Customer service : The AppSheet community is very powerful and the people at the organization takes very good care of its customers.
Appsheet was the perfect solution. The app was simple to create and connect to the data and the support received during development and before paying a penny has been great.
Excellent community of support, regular enhancements, and empowering tool. Enjoy using it, learning about using it better and achieving my goals.
Sometime errors are confusing and it takes time to figure out what is wrong. Contacting Customer Support through email is slow.
The payment plans were confusing and get costly very quick, especially for small companies.
Activating the app on user's phones can be somewhat annoying. Unless you go to the higher paid tier, you can only use Google accounts to access the app.

Like a pencil in the hand of an artist.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Creativity and its yours to make. Just use your imagination and I am sure you can make the tool app you want.

Pros

Great features, possibility, fun and ownership. Ownership is the most important. To develop is like cooking. You know what exactly what kind of ingredient you put into the bowl and that makes it taste so good. When you know your ingredients, you can explore and test and try until you find something you real love. When you love it and people love it. Then it will be like a michelin stars.

Cons

Its easy to use when you have learned the basic and then you can start to create useful apps, until then you have to read and look youtube tutorials. And that its not to hard, you just need to put some effort to it.

Great tool for easily and quickly building product MVPs

Reviewed a year ago

Appsheet has been of limitless use to me and my team over the past year. The ease of setting up accounts on free use terms has made it my go-to candidate testing tool for assessing their ability to quickly understand project concepts and execute them. Thanks to Appsheet, the quality of our tech team recruitments have improved significantly; because it allows us to do a lot more practical live tests.

Pros

The best thing about Appsheet is the app setup process. Simply by creating your spreadsheet data with all the basic designations you want in your app, the system automatically translates it into a functioning app. First time i tried it, I really couldn’t believe it worked. One great feature I love about building with Appsheet is also that you are able to make changes to base data structure right from the editor without needing to go directly into the source spreadsheet.

Cons

I didn’t like that I couldn’t set up a user sign up set up independent of the third party options available for signing up via google, etc.

Good low-code tool but expensive

Reviewed 10 months ago

Overall, AppSheet is a great low-code tool. But the price point is just too high and for that reason it's harder to scale out to more devs and users.

Pros

It's convenient to use in developing internal tools.

Cons

The price is too high considering the many alternatives available out there.

No need to be complicated for app creation

Reviewed 6 months ago

Very good and fun, I can make applications quickly and cheaply, especially if I convert applications from excel or spreadsheets. I can use AppSheet as a prototype for large projects, and the primary choice for intermediate or conversion projects.

Pros

Easy, cheap, and very fast in the development process until it can actually be used. Have a sophisticated system without having to create the system itself.

Cons

Limited in terms of UI/UX which makes it look clunky and boring when displayed to the user. The capacity of application users is also not clear, thus giving limitations to application makers to use AppSheet for large projects or not.

Great tool for bespoke applications

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The ability to create a GUI without any coding whatsoever. Having the ability to work offline and then synchronise is also a great benefit.

Cons

Adding logic and some more complex stuff can be tricky. Trying to do simple things (such as changing the UI) is not as simple unless you thoroughly understand the system.

Just got started with AppSheets and so far it's great!

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

This online software is way more robust than I imagined. The highlight of using the software is the ability to easily integrate with Google Sheets and many other online data storage software like Dropbox. I like the preview functionality and the ease of viewing the app on my phone immediately without deploying anything. I have just been using it a couple of weeks thanks to an online app development course and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get something setup in a matter of minutes. I am a software developer, but anyone who has some online savvy and is good with Excel can pick this up very easily!

Cons

The one widespread con about this software is that there is a "Share" link to share the app that cannot be removed. It is a known issue and although there is a workaround, it is not pretty.

Reviewed 4 years ago

I started using Appsheet to create a site measure form for our installers that would work offline, but after looking at it and using it I can see over time replacing almost all software we use with Appsheet, it's just that good!

Pros

I liked how, in spite of being very easy to use and understand, it is incredibly powerful and can do so much!

Cons

The cost, but it's still great value, we just get screwed in NZ because of the exchange rate :)

Reviewed 5 years ago

Anyone can develop an app which can be used in a wide variety of services.

Pros

The ease of managing the functionality of your app and the documentation is really helpful. The app community is also a very accessible and convenient platform to discuss and seek guidance

Cons

Since there is so much margin to grow on this platform you tend to start feeling a bit restricted with the features available.

Reviewed 4 years ago

The benefits far outweigh any negatives. It's essentially a database for personalized apps within an organization. We utilize it for many things ranging from Safety to production notes. Highly versatile and should be used more.

Pros

-Allows personalized Apps to be used in a format that's subjective to the user. For example, we have an app that allows us to report Near-Misses and incidents on site and have it distributed to our company.

Cons

I would say that you need an IT professional to get them properly uploaded and running in the App. That's expected to be honest, everything can't be too easy ;)

Build Customers Solutions with No Experience

Reviewed 3 years ago

My experience with Appsheet has been very positive. I was able to create a custom mobile solution that wouldn't have otherwise been obtainable financially for our company.

Pros

The possibilities with AppSheet are endless. I built an app that shows a listing of odd inventory for our lumber company. While the system does require some knowledge of formulas, conditional formatting and database structure, most of that can be learned through their tutorials.

Cons

Activating the app on user's phones can be somewhat annoying. Unless you go to the higher paid tier, you can only use Google accounts to access the app.

Appsheet is very easy to use

Reviewed 4 years ago

I work in a K12 education context, used to be a teacher for 40+ years. While I am nearing my pension, I have had an enormous amount of fun building this app.

Pros

The ease of use. No coding required. You can gradually build your app and learn while doing this. I found there was a gradual learning curve that met my needs and my capability.

Cons

Sometimes, it takes a long to synchronize. The way to correct mistakes that you make is not always obvious and you will need help. But on the other hand, the community is large enough and very helpful, so you will never have these problems for a longer period.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Our field sales team is brought together on a common platform that is easy for the users and managers as well. The spreadsheet interface also allows almost all usuaal spreadsheet app capabilities to be made use of easily

Pros

Its the ease of building an app from a Google Sheet and then having the freedom to shape it up with a full-fledged admin panel. And the beauty is that I haven't had to use the admin panel for months together: the app has been going on and on, without any interruption! I have no piece of hardware or software to worry about or monitor on a daily basis

Easily Develop Apps For Your Business

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall it's a great application which saved our company thousands of dollars and a great amount of time allowing us to develop an app to track the data we needed in a simple way which everyone can have access to

Pros

You can create your own applications for your business with less resources, both time and money. It allows you to build your own applications using your business' data and with not too complicated programming. Application design is limited and quite simple but the relatively short amount of time it takes to build an app using AppSheet makes it worth it.

Cons

As mentioned before, the limited customization options. Also, applications can run slowly if the user is using a not so powerful device.

Ability to customize just about anything is really wonderful; the layout of the work space in the app designer and ability to cross reference tables. These are just some pros.

It made me look brilliant. It is so easy to add a new property, take a picture and distribute it

The way it easily creates a professional looking app. Plus, although frustrating to try to fix a error I like the way it tells you there is a error. Truly a great app. Thanks.

Cons

It has its limitation right now. I am hoping this is a development problem so that this is something that keeps getting better. For instance I would like to have the gps / map functionality report the schools, churches, malls, restaurants, points of interest such as parks on the map. As a realtor I created a app that shows my team our listings. It would be a wonderful thing if I could also say where are the closest schools. Further I would then like to with the tap of a button send a feature sheet to the buyers email. That allows me to ask for a email.
