I use it as a personal organization tool. I work with clients, and I generate apps that I share with my clients and let them interact with me via the app. I can control everything in a much better way than a spredsheet. I can generate emails, alerts, time alerts, it's been a great improvement for my organization, and clients can do everything in their mobile phone in a simple and fast way. The perception is a technological interaction that makes everything smooth.
Pros
Best way to replace and organize items that usually are on a spreadsheet.
Generate alerts on mobile or email.
Manage user levels and show different information to each user.
Cons
The UX could be better. I would like to have more freedom on design.
A free or cheaper option for personal projects would be great without the ten user limit.
Make the coding part more easier would be always great. It's easy now, but easier is better.

I recommend Appsheet to everyone. But always with the advice that you'll have to spend some time learning. After you learn the basics you fall in love with the functionality. Some colleagues told me they don't want to learn anything else, but after I gave them a fast introduction they start using it. This introduction was absolutely focused in what they need, not some general usage.
I have started using AppSheet when I was looking for a web app that allowed me to have customers pinned on a map. I started checking around what could be done with AppSheet and today we have managed to automatize many workflows, and we have a fully working crm. The fact that you can connect apps like Zapier, or create automations that send emails, pop up messages and more when meet a trigger is really a turning point in automation settings. I must warn any reader however that even if AppSheet is quite easy to getting used to the user will need to learn all the features in order to organise more complex applications, so get ready to learn and AppSheet will reward you.
Pros
Low budget apps
Create app from ideas
Limit access to specific users
Cons
I would love to see more customizable UI
AI that follows instructions
Likelihood to Recommend
I would be happy if my coworkers started creating their own small-problem-solving apps with AppSheet, like a holiday approving app or similar.
We are using it to manage all kinds of internal assets. We are currently using about 8 different apps, and with each app, we learn a little more, so each time they are more useful. Making all employees be on the same page is sometimes difficult, but when you turn a sheet into an app, using and following up on data is easy and really powerful. The same app passes through different states for each user, making it easy to keep track of everything.
Pros
No code programming is really easy. With time you get better and better.
Making an app is better than accessing a sheet. You can have user levels and a lot of control over processes.
Simple and useful UX. Sometimes we wish to generate some more designed spaces, but really, it just works.
Cons
Adding some more design personalization.
I found that some things were missing, specifically time and my learning curve, so I couldn't add anything else to improve.
There should be some online free course by Appsheet.

If you need to manage special assets with unique characteristics and keep data in spreadsheets, Appsheet is ideal for replacing these sheets with a system. Once you start using it, you find yourself trying to move everything into Appsheet. It is perfect for generating internal software that would otherwise never be developed due to programming costs.
We use AppSheet to capture data that falls off the grid and build new products that can be offered to customers. AppSheet is being used to capture, measure and manage data that is not currently recorded by our enterprise resource planning solution. What's even better is that the data is easily made available to our users in a very secure way and can also be visualized by other applications such as Looker. AppSheet facilitates Rapid Architected Application Development, which in turn gives the orginzation the ability to respond to changes in the environment and build new products. This is especially true in the areas of property management, logistics management and talent management.
Pros
Capture data in real time via a mobile device
Share data in a very secure manner
An open architecture that allows the integration of other applications
Audit usage of any newly built application
Ease of access, device independent.
Cons
Voice assistant has to start working so that users can talk instead of type
Allow generative AI to train on the data captured by AppSheet so that new insights can be quickly delivered to decision makers
Integrate AppSheet into established dashboard applications so that it's one seemless product.

Any property management business based requirement is easily met with AppSheet.
Google's AppSheet is a great tool for organizing the entire Compliance area, in addition to being an incredible support for establishing metrics.
The tool is comprehensive, capable of not only controlling valuable analysis information in the area but also creating automated dashboards and email flows from it. All of this can be done with minimal programming.
My goal is to continuously improve my knowledge to understand all of its functionalities better.
Pros
Information Control
Metrics
Dashboard
Flow
Cons
Understand and have access of the Functions and Codes (like if, sum, etc) - difficult to find information
ID - Difficult to put an ID +1 the information before. When I did it, it wasn't possible to create a column with information from another
Chart - difficult to create charts of %, not possible to change the columns of different color, when you change the order from the dashboard, it doesnt save, cannot create a pizza graph
Likelihood to Recommend
AppSheet is perfect for supporting an area of a company that doesn't have many resources available in IT/Programming.
Its goal is amazing, as it aims to create a product without the need to know programming - although it's necessary when creating some specific functions.
You can create everything from information/analysis control, with all the questions/information you want, to automated charts, dashboards, email alerts, and even payments.
As an improvement point, I would say it would be important to have an easier communication channel to learn how to use the platform masterfully.
We have used AppSheet extensively in our business. We built apps to manage insurance claims (processing over $77M in claim payments), audit claims, audit underwriting processes, handle new claim intake, manage compliance tasks, track product changes, respond to fixes and enhancements, etc. Using AppSheet we can make enhancements to our processes quickly and do so at an affordable cost.
Pros
Price
Ease of use
Scope of functionality
Fosters a vibrant community
App documentation
Cons
Provide more options for customizing the user interface.
Move enhancements more quickly to production ready status. Some enhancements are stuck in "preview" for too long.
Continue to work on making the experience intuitive for no-coders.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for internal app use. Not as great for public use, but this is an area we would also like to use AppSheet more. An excellent tool to use at smaller companies that benefit from being nimble, cost efficient, and able to customize their solutions for their customers.
AppSheet is primarily used for status tracking and project management type of use cases. It primarily involves working with simple data which is otherwise stored in excel sheets or google sheets, etc. To overcome the problems associated with storing the data in sheets, AppSheet is being increasingly used in our organization. It can cater to multiple use cases from what I understand.
Pros
It's fairly easy to build the app
Efficient to use for relatively less complex use cases
Does not require lot of maintenance
Cons
Ability to add more types of dashboards/charts
creating custom fields to build dashboards/charts
Likelihood to Recommend
AppSheet is less suited for scenarios where complex calculations / number crunching etc. is involved. Already answered where it is better suited.

With only 1 year experience of using AppSheet in my daily ERP need of managing the business I'm totally in love this platform: easy to create and use, a bit more complex in terms of more advance UX or data display's need - but with our current modest SME operating module, AppSheet delivers great results (especially with their latest move offering it free for Google Workspace Users).
Pros
Useful Community with instant help / advices
Lots of samples for beginners to play with
Proactive Help Desk
Cons
Video Display
Calendar Display can be more clear / detail
Likelihood to Recommend
Suitable: - SME, moderate team. - Lots of field works. - High turn over rate. - Many different departments / small groups require lots of team work Note suitable: - Big companies with huge users. - Complex UX / information display needed - Too much confidential protocol required for internal data protection
We used to have lots of spreadsheets until I found out about AppSheet. I accidentally saw "create an app" on my google sheets and decided to click on it. Then I started to explore and I saw an excellent opportunity to integrate the many departments and I solved the inventory problem we had. Since then I've been creating solutions to track and organize our tasks and work daily routine.
Pros
Display data in a more friendly way
Simple and intuitive, easy to learn
Create fast automations
Cons
Improve user interface
Working with files still needs some workaround for specific routines
Views such as kanban, gant and more button options missing
AppSheet could charge only owner and admin users
Likelihood to Recommend
It is hightly indicated for internal business management. It is less appropriate when you have many users
