AppSheet Reviews: 4.8/5 — Highly Rated

No code platform, ease of use, easy customization and above all it is the only platform where we can use excel as a backend database for mobile based apps.

As there are users using the app from desktop, the full screen desktop interface could be improved and it should allow users to use their custom domain in Premium and Pro plan

As a small scale manufacturing industry, we could not afford an ERP software. Using Appsheet we have created apps for different units and integrated them. This has allowed us to automate most of our work and work seamlessly.

I like the no-code approach to create a professional looking app and the easy management of external data (e.g. GSheet) . Important for me is also the offline use, geocoding with map integration, integration of QR code scanning, and image capture functionality. A big plus is that the data live in the cloud, and also that the app is cross plattform , and that the mobile app resides in Appsheet and not a separate app, thus circumventing the app store / play store.

Can get expensive with many users when paying on a per user base, in particular if the amount of users varies.

I needed an easy to use mobile app to record date and locality data in the field, and an app that allows me to have full control over the app and the data without being a programmer. Have been trying to use ODK and if you know it then you know what I mean.

Ability to create distinct view types, and structured mobile access to data

It is thankless to complain about such an outrageously cool service, but I find it can be hard to track down errors. Like, if I am making an app on a free account, that means -- necessarily -- that I don't want any functions unavailable at that level. I shouldn't have to track those down and turn them off.

Tons of benefits. I've improved my communications with my family on shopping and chores, I've given myself the ability to better manage my time and priorities at work, and I've helped multiple families track the driving experience of their children. Applications are endless.

AppSheet's integration with Google Sheets and, by extension, Google Forms, Google App Script, and other products that work with Google Sheets provide users with an extremely rich and powerful array of possibilities to choose from. In addition, I've been amazed at the quality of support I've gotten, even though I'm on the free plan. I've posed many questions on the user forum that have been answered directly by the CEO himself. This help has been invaluable to me in my development of a flashcard app that I have me students using: https://www.appsheet.com/portfolio/230844

AppSheet is continuing to grow and develop. It is much more powerful now than when I began using it a year ago. There are several capabilities (better integration with mp3 files, etc.) that I'm still waiting for. On the other hand, I expect such issues to be resolved little by little. Also I would like to see sync times improved and background syncing on iOS devices.

I've used AppSheet to with Google Forms to get real time input (questions and comments, mini survey results, etc.) from students listening to my lectures, and then display these results on my computer screen in a way that is far superior to what I could do with Google Sheets alone. Students have responded very positively. Moreover, I've been able to do this on App Sheets free plan. Paid plans open other possibilities but AppSheet can be quit useful to individuals who use it for free as well.

Creating elegant and functional data collection apps has never been so fast and easy. In less that one hour you can create a simple app. Whatever you can imagine you can probably create it with the help of AppSheet, from collecting data on the field, to register your food experiences, or to keep track of your books, and to whom did you lend them, to make sure you never loose one book again. All you need to start is a Google Sheet document, which you turn into a database for the app (and there are other database alternatives for more advanced / demanding users too). Brilliant!

Starting the app on the mobile device was a little annoying, as it would always asks for verification to access the Google account. But it is much easier nowadays.

Supporting research on Environmental Services, through the collection of data on urban green and blue infrastructures.

Clean interface. Easy to navigate. All components presented in clear simple manner as compared to PowerApps. Numerous data connectors allow flexibility including future needs. Constantly improving platform, great stuff!

Sync can be painfully slow sometimes. Limited data connector types to on-prem database. Offline use not available which hampers our deployment plans in countries without stable & reliable Internet connectivity ("but duh, it's SaaS" as one might say...but still, it's a great application, we want to use it everywhere, anytime).

Extensive workflow automation from HR to Service Delivery to Sales Order/Inventory tracking. Major efficiency gained, people are much happier and most importantly, business needs can be quickly translated into working applications, and changes can be made on the fly.

If you can work with excel formulas, you can create your own app. With lots of sample apps, you can find something that fits your needs. You can tweak the sample apps for your data or create your own from scratch. Free to start!

Support for errors. However the support community is growing. I feel the documentation can be improved to show actual examples and a better cross-reference section. Expressions would be better if it used real values to explain expression options.

Appsheet provides a one-stop shop for my property management. I have access to vendors, tenants, owners, inspections, and can take new inspections and photos with inspections. I also created a girl scout cookie app to help keep track of who orders what and who owes what while workflow allows emailing of orders and payments.

The ability to access essential information anytime, anywhere with blazing speed. Affordable with our tight non-profit budget constraints.

Not having time to keep up with all that it will do for us.

AppSheet give us the ability to access our information away from the office.

I can build apps to suit the specific needs of my business. The two greatest benefits are 1) The apps look great and work very well for the people using them in the field. 2) Since the data in the apps is stored in Google Sheets, it's very easy to create whatever custom reports I want.

I honestly don't have anything that immediately comes to mind. Every once in a while something comes up that I can't do, but these are always really specific and quite minor things.

We use AppSheet apps to manage: - Safety documentation - Payroll and labour statistics - Daily jobsite reports - Equipment utilization and fuel statistics - Fleet management / repair and maintenance programs. This is all very important stuff to keep track of and manage. Without AppSheet we would have had to hire 1-2 additional full time employees to manage this information.

The ability to taken a whole workbook into a graphic display is awesome and able to modify is great!

I believe appsheet says no coding is required, yet the unique interface and syntax required to program the desired app does require a lot of programming knowledge (or it was useful to have the little I have). I don't think it needs to be this confused. It might also be helpful to have a click and drop function such as a visual basic or visual C++ style interface.

Keeping a running and changing list of qualified products by multiple vendors, promo items, and storing other random required data for sales.
