AppSheet

Avantages

This is a great way to develop applications that work for your specific need. There are many options of functions that can be performed in this application, and there is a low cost to rolling the apps out. They are constantly updating the features of the application making it more user friendly. It is really great that it works of a database in google, which gives it a very stable platform and is easy to switch between users in the app and administrators who may need to cull the data.

Inconvénients

If you are not in the programming world some of the functions are a little more complicated to use, and take some trial and error.

Avantages

The swift display of cloud data was key

Inconvénients

Modest flexibility of the layout and design options

Seamless integration with Google Workspace

Avantages

It is quick and easy to use. You do not have to have prior experience in app building. Their help forum provides a lot of support and good resources for problem solving.

Inconvénients

I think it's a little spendy since you have to have a payment plan for each app you want to deploy. You could design a simple website and have it hosted for cheaper.

Avantages

I have found Appsheet to be one of the best tools for solving the annoying gaps that exist in most off the shelf business software for small businesses. After working at the same company for 22 years and being disappointed by the limitations of most 'off the shelf' business software programs, I started using app sheet as a way to supplement those tools, while still relying heavily on spreadsheets. During my tenure there, the [sensitive content hidden]
would push back on my request to build more complicated apps to automate and structure all the spreadsheet tools we were using. Then, when I left and they were faced with trying to manage my cobbled together system, they asked if I could help and I was able to say that the best bet was not for me to train people how to use that system but rather really invest in building more robust application based tools. 6 months into the journey and the list of possible apps keeps growing. Here are the biggest pro's as I see it:Easy to get started, especially if you're already using Google SheetsGreat community with lots of support when you have a problemVery powerful capabilities, once you figure out how to use it. Pace of upgrades and improvements seems to have picked up since Google purchased it. Data tables can all be google sheets stored in the companies google drive. This was a big selling point when I was trying to convince my former employer to invest in bigger apps because the data would always be theirs and always be accessible.

Inconvénients

1. The process of turning all the cool data into printed or .pdf reports is relatively difficult when compared to every other aspect of using the tool. 2. You'll get addicted to building apps and start saying "I could build an app for that" in almost any business conversation you have. (and in personal ones too!)

Avantages

It is very easy to setup and it is very easy to create a small web app.

Inconvénients

There is almost no personalization options available on this tool. There is no way to create a minimum of complexity in the app.

Zoho Creator

Pourquoi choisir AppSheet 

The Microsoft was too expansive so I decided to try the Google WorkSpace and AppSheet tools instead, but I quickly returned to the Microsoft 365 tool.

Pourquoi passer à AppSheet

Zoho Creator was very expensive in comparison to Google and Microsoft.

Avantages

AppSheet is an excellent tool for product managers seeking to create custom applications without coding. Its intuitive, no-code platform enables users to build and deploy apps quickly, enhancing productivity and enabling rapid prototyping. The integration with various data sources such as Google Sheets, Excel, and SQL databases is powerful.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It is mostly simple to use and get set up. It integrates well with Google Workspace.

Inconvénients

There isn't a great data storage solution. The built-in AppSheet spreadsheet editor has many limits on how many tables you can have. Using sheets also gives you other limitlimitationsaitons related to table linking.

Avantages

Great integrations with Google Sheets, allowing to build simple web apps without coding a single line.

Inconvénients

If you don't get a paid plan, you may find limitations that can be bothersome.

Avantages

Ideal for apprentice healthcare providers.

Inconvénients

I don't have any concerns with this app so far.

Avantages

I was able to develop apps within few minutes

Inconvénients

I have ro negative reviews. It serves purpose

Avantages

Would like to have more debugging tools to help correct programming. would be helpful to have partial results on expressions, (eg.) if(Lookup(Useremail(),"Colaboradores","Email","Role")="SuperAdmin",Select(Folha de Caixa[Caixa_Key],[Colaborador_Key]=[Email],True), Select(Folha de Caixa[Caixa_Key],[Colaborador_Key]=[_THISROW].[Email],True) )On this expression it would be amazing if we could "on mouse over" see partial results from the expression to help debug.

Inconvénients

Nothing really important comes to mind, all i need is more tutorials from Youtube :)

Avantages

Easy to use. Easy to visualise the interconnectivity been data. Production of simple and useful apps are rapid to develop and deploy.

Inconvénients

Only issue I have is with selling the products. The approach and methodology have never been clear. There should be examples shown or cheat sheets explained so you know what costs you can allow when selling the product. It would also be great to display linear assets on the maps rather than use just a little coloured coded pointer to the assets.

Avantages

Advantage of this app is its ease of use. The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy for even non-technical users to build complex applications quickly.

Inconvénients

Limited functionality and lack of support for more complex applications.

Avantages

easy to useupdates are instantgreat user interface

Inconvénients

It is too expensive for me. It costs about the same as all of Google Workspace.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Appsheet has allowed me to replace my high-cost crm with a lower-cost solution that is also quicker to use and customise.

Inconvénients

Some more design customisation would be great, Appsheet has allowed me to replace my high-cost crm with a lower-cost solution, but it doesn't look as nice. It would also be useful for there to be more of a streamlined navigation with databases and storage in Google Cloud Platform, given they are both google. A free-tier or low cost SQL database would be a great addition to the product.

Pourquoi choisir AppSheet 

Smartsheets pricing is opaque and you can't easily test or estimate the cost of add-ons which are required to reach the same level of functionality as appsheet in terms of no code app development.

Logiciel antérieur 

Smartsheet

Pourquoi passer à AppSheet

Appsheet is a better fit for creating no-code apps for daily business use to replace other siloed business apps. Trying to extend or customise a crm to achieve the same degree of flexibility is time consuming and expensive. The other solutions I considered were more appropriate for using as a database (rather than a no-code layer) or for streamlining single business processes through no-code development, rather than developing a full no-code app.

Avantages

1. The App runs on any type of database at the backend. It is compatible with SQLs from different cloud platforms and even google sheets.
2. Due to the template support, after a little experience with the appsheet, you can easily create an app under 6 hours.
3. Since this is a mulit-platform tool, it works as both Website and an Android app.

Inconvénients

1. The Application is a low-code platform with high level syntax. This makes the application slow to use. If the application complexity increases, the time it takes to finish certain task increases non-linearly.
2. appsheet provides limited customization. which means there is a chance you will run into problems that are just unsolvable with this program.
3. Since this is a web based application, This UI feels a bit less responsive.

Avantages

Appsheet is one of the finest app development solutions we've tested so far. Google makes it completely enthusiastic for non-coders to quickly build and deploy web-based apps.It has a variety of ready-made templates to kickstart a project with no hassles. It's pretty simple to use and the pricing plans are also very very low. This is also a better means to leverage app-building skills for new aspirants.The system supports a few in-house integrations (Google's) which smartly coordinates the overall development experience and saves a ton of stress.I prefer Appsheet to many other no-code App development solutions for its intuitive UI and the narrow and flawless experience it offers. No one loves junk lines of code anyway.

Inconvénients

As per my observations, the platform is supported in many languages---This is already a barrier for other countries that are not of the English language world to cope with it.I believe the world would be better or still, best if digital evolution is spread all around it.

Avantages

AppSheet is an incredible piece of software that easily integrates with Google Sheets, Excel, Salesforce, and others. Its GUI is very user friendly, and allows new/amature coders to create full web-apps with minimal knowledge. Very easy to use, and produces apps quickly.

Inconvénients

Price-point, and bugs. Knowing the number of variables AppSheet has to account for in any app, there are still certain kinks that need to be worked out. Also, AppSheet is free, unless you really want to utilize all of its features. Unfortunately, once you start getting into apps that require multiple users, or creating workflows, then you start paying per user, or a tier based price structure per app. With competition quickly rising, their prices are easily beat by competitors like PowerApps.

Avantages

Uno de los puntos más fuertes sin duda es su versatilidad y su agilidad. AppSheet se puede adaptar para todo tipo de negocios y de proyectos y además de una manera super rápida. Esto aporta una ventaja enorme frente a cualquier desarrollo planificado antiguamente tanto en tiempo como en coste.

Inconvénients

Quizá la parte que convendría más reforzar es la parte de la capacitación a los usuarios. Por suerte hay academias como TailorSheet (www.tailorsheet.com) que explican paso a paso cómo crear aplicaciones en esta plataforma que resuelven problemas más complejos y que salen de lo básico.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

1. There are numerous databases with which to connect. Personally, I've utilized Google Sheets and Google Cloud MySQL. It does, however, also handle databases from other cloud services, such as Azure, AWS, or Oracle. 2. This application's development process is so quick that anyone can create an app in under 12 hours after gaining sufficient experience (developing about five apps). 3. This app is cross-platform, which means it functions on both Android and Web browsers. 4. It also includes built-in methods for sending emails, notifications, and other types of messages.

Inconvénients

1. Being a web-based platform, this one feels clumsy to use when developing. There is always a persistent lag that is detectable. They have made great strides in this area, but still fall short of a true software. 2. Google Appsheet's UI Design does not offer a lot of flexibility and is most helpful when creating business cycle apps. Nevertheless, you can undoubtedly create simple apps of any kind. The point is that it is not highly adaptable, and you will probably encounter problems that prevent you from creating an app because of platform restrictions. 3. When compared to apps made with programming languages, this app performs decently. This app will be useful if you're making a simple app.

Avantages

I really liked starting off with AppSheet to just explore some options for a solution we needed. It was very beginner-friendly and allowed me to design a concept and then test it out without investing a lot of money for a professional custom-coded app.

Inconvénients

The workflows and automations can be a bit tricky to get set up. Creating user limitations has not been super easy and I'd like to see user profiles that set permissions for different user groups.

Avantages

I liked the fact AppSheet can make an app in just a few minutes from a databank contained in Google Sheets. The whole process is very easy and you do not need a high level of coding to do it.

Inconvénients

Most of the time the template from AppSheets will not be entirely useful to your needs, so be aware that often you will need to customize the product. Thus, what I like least is the small sample of templates available for starters.

Avantages

it is a no code builder very good for students that are not it and want to develop their idea in a mobile app.

Inconvénients

the amount of money the students has to pay if they want to use it for comercial purpose, glideapp is free but limited.

Avantages

Appsheet is quick to deploy, powerfully-featured, and reasonably-priced for our needs. We've been able to rapidly build and iterate our data collection and management practices. Because we rely on volunteers and short-term interns, it's important that the software be easy to use and maintain, and we've found that the ramp up period is short.

Inconvénients

Because we work with apps in both English and Arabic, it's important that we be able to switch between the languages, or even use both in certain fields. The support for left-to-right and right-to-left languages could be improved. We understand this is a pretty narrow use case, but it would allow greater adoption in the refugee space.

Avantages

How many times have we not wanted the PPPs to adapt to our needs? This dream has come true; With AppSheet you can create your own applications directly from any of your smart devices and with your own data. Completely compatible, both with your iPhone and with the Android system, and the best thing is that your data, spreadsheets, or any other information, even those that you use frequently in the clouds, can now be more at hand than before. One of the many advantages is that your applications adjust in a personalized way, and to the extent that your creativity and your needs increase, in the same way you can add quickly and easily, all the features that you can think of or that you need and without having to be a professional developer, then you share them with the people who need it

Inconvénients

Like any system, it is important to remember that, in order to achieve its optimal understanding and development, it is necessary to enter and relate directly and personally to the application, which is why users should be aware of their needs, so that later, can try different solutions for your needs. Remember that although there are free versions, also the paid versions offer a wider range of possibilities and developments.

Avantages

For non-techies, with some basic understanding of application software and their usecases and essential database awareness, Appsheet lets you offer practical solutions very quickly and cost-effectively. I have not seen any other platform that makes it so dumbed down.

Inconvénients

There are limitations that are quite possible for a platform that is still evolving. But, nothing so much that will force you to look for alternatives.

Avantages

I had the opportunity to participate in a tourism project with a partner dedicated to the systems area and the experience with this complement was very good. I think he made the job easier for us during the development of the mobile app.

Even for non-programmers, it can be easy to use. It is based on "Excel" spreadsheets and the data structure is quite simple.

Some of the things that caught our attention are related to its functionalities: It allows you to establish small workflows, it supports GPS, maps. There is the possibility of activating notifications and as if that were not enough, you can access it without a connection.

Another interesting aspect, which also goes hand in hand with the Digital Transformation process, is storage. You can use any Cloud provider. Which gives it a very high value, at least from my point of view.

Inconvénients

Personally I see no negative points, I think it is a tool that gives opportunity to professionals who are not from technical areas to learn and create or work on very interesting projects.

Avantages

Easy to learn
Resourceful for learning, easy to find the required answer in help center and community page.
Very much customer oriented.
Samples apps are very simple to learn each functionality.
Very responsive to customers.

Inconvénients

UX: Web view; It would be great if the look of Web browser view is improved.

It would be much easier faster for new creators to Learn if there are some sample apps that run in full functionalities and integrate with "In-App-Tutorial".

Less focus on developing financial apps although there are some mini budgeting app.

Pourquoi passer à AppSheet

Easier in entry level.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Have good features if the App has to be used to collect data.

Inconvénients

Does not have option to share leads with individual app users. Not very easy to create, help videos were old.

Avantages

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

Avantages

We can work simultaneously in one screen , small window of Skype open to communicate and other windows open to read or collect information.
Can do instant messaging or video calls at cheaper rate than phone calls. It's user friendly and easy to access

Inconvénients

We can't save the communication at our desired location or folder like we can save the emails.

Avantages

Muy buen producto. Tiene funciones que permiten desarrollar aplicaciones para múltiles tipos de proceso y con buen resultado

Inconvénients

La asistencia técnica ha desmejorado desde que Google compró AppSheet. También debería mejorar en los tiempos de sincronización y reducir el tiempo de 30 min. a inmediato como es Whatsapp.

Avantages

Lo bueno es que con solo tener una pequeña base de datos, en tu nube personal, DRIVE, ONDRIVE, DROPBOX, y otros, con esto ya puedes empezar. Muy facil de comenzar con la aplicacion, personalmente instalé una extensión desde google drive y con unos pocos clics la base de datos se convierte en varias vistas tipo app web.También puedes empezar desde cero, con una plantilla en blanco. La otra opción que te ayuda mucho avanzar y conocer el sistema es el uso de plantillas pre diseñadas, que te ayudan a entender mejor.Tiene apartados en donde puedes configurar los botones que vez en la pantalla para ir de una vista a otra, además de personalizar cada vista.Util para seguimiento de inventarios y planillas de precios, que es lo mas fácil de desarrollar.La plataforma permite una vez conectada con la base de datos de tu preferencia, como mencioné anteriormente, puedes actualizar y agregar datos de una manera sencilla.La version gratuita te permite hacer mucho, con limitaciones que no molestan.

Inconvénients

La contra que le encuentro, es a primera, que todo está en inglés, si bien puedes usar algún traductor, no es lo mismo que tenga traducciones en otros idiomas.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi passer à AppSheet

Pricing.

Avantages

Really Versitile and can automate and handle many business needs.

Inconvénients

Not much training videos or guides avaliable. Outdated training materials online.

Avantages

For what is a very complex and powerful product the user interface is intuitive. I'm on a learning curve and regularly break my apps during the development stage, but the UI always tells me why and how to fix it.
We use Smartsheets for business collaboration but it has real limitations when sharing information between multiple teams, and in the area of workflows. Appsheet does add a layer of complexity but enables us to solve these issues.
The mapping functionality is also great and adding images makes for visually appealing apps.

Inconvénients

Not knowing everything about it yet. There is no code to learn as such but a lot of functionality. Once you learn how expressions work you can exert a lot of control over the user experience, and control data entry, and am only just starting to do this.

Avantages

It's very easy to create an app with some simple data. You can add many fields and it's much easier to create this type of app than to learn code and become an app developer. It's pretty user friendly and has a lot of simply easy to use features. You can add maps, phone numbers, forms, price lists, or slideshows. It's a great way to organize work for a team and everyone can easily see it. Very customizable.

Inconvénients

If you use the free version, there is a very long loading time required. If you use the paid version, it might be worth your time to look into software that is customized to your business needs already. You may find something for slightly more that will work well. You will be using Google Sheets for all your data and information. If you are uncomfortable with a spreadsheet, this may not be the best for you.

Avantages

AppSheet performs well and is reasonably quick for our users. I love that we can make the app public so users don't have to sign in. We're using it embedded in a SharePoint site, so the only users who see it are already authenticated.
The app builder starts you out with some reasonably good suggestions for your data, and there are a lots of options for display. In general, the Google Material Design UI is pleasant.

Inconvénients

Some column types aren't useful in certain situations. The worst part of AppSheet in our experience, however, has been the need to recreate custom formatting for each column in a table. Since this table has hundreds of columns, we really wish we could copy and past or duplicate styling.

Avantages

Ease of creating a functional application using Google sheets as the back end database. I like that they have template applications that you can import and then customize which saves you time. Apps look great on mobile phone. Wide variety of applications and uses.

Inconvénients

It gets quite pricey when you add more users to your app than just yourself. I'd use it a lot more if they expanded the amount of unique visitors to the app.

Avantages

Yes you very accessible and user-friendly

Inconvénients

Timely, user friendly, cheap and accuracy

Avantages

I was up and running in no time! I was looking for a way to track equipment by scanning barcodes on my phone, and AppSheet was super quick to set up!

Inconvénients

After the initial set up, converting the massive amounts of example data to a usable format for my project would have taken more time than it was worth for the scale of my project. For a small but long-term project or small business, it could very well be worth it!

Avantages

- Easy to use
- Appsheet's Team got very fast response about our complains / errors with the app
- Provides "more-than-enough" features
- and many more...

Inconvénients

I have no cons about this app (so far)

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Super easy to create an app with no dev skills
Smart spreadsheets connections to app
Very intuitive approach
Free until you release giving you time to play
Offering new features regularly

Inconvénients

Only English
Would need more options for users management and invites for learner onboarding

Avantages

The Utube videos and support offered by AppSheet made it possible to create an App the way I wanted it to run.

Inconvénients

My App runs on pre-stored data and once my users have selected the questions, a code was presented and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get this code to just populate it's field. The code had to be selected otherwise it did not save. I still don't know how to get 3 of my codes to save without being clicked.

Avantages

App Sheet makes our Equipment pickups very easy. The Camera function makes it easy to scan our Bar codes and is a very quick and solid software.

Inconvénients

There is nothing like we don't like very easy to use and very efficient
