Product Details

What is AppSheet?

Acquired by Google in Spring 2020, AppSheet is an intelligent, no-code app platform for everyone. Users can create apps to transform the workplace.

Common use cases include field service, transportation, customer surveys, incident reports, field data capture, compliance reports, delivery tracking, and property surveys.

Used by the Fortune 500 & Industry Leaders
Customers include Clearlink, Enterprise Holdings, ESPN, Pepsi, the University of Michigan, and the State of Colorado.

AppSheet allows users to build a No Code App in 4 Ways
1) Connect your data sources (e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, SQL, etc.).
2) Copy a sample app.
3) Use an Add-On for Google Sheets, Forms, or Excel.
4) Start from SPEC, our natural language declarative programming tool.

The vendor says AppSheet is useful if you:
1) Require a custom mobile app to brand and distribute to employees, colleagues, or customers
2) Are not a software developer
3) Work on a phone or tablet to capture information
4) Are part of a team that needs to work seamlessly offline and online
5) Want the app to have rich functionality
6) Like the power of building and deploying a custom mobile app in minutes
7) Want to be able to work offline and sync to cloud when connected

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Information Control
  • Metrics
  • Dashboard
  • Flow
  • 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

  • Display data in a more friendly way
  • Simple and intuitive, easy to learn
  • Create fast automations
  • 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

  • User-friendly (Developing and End-user side)
  • Ultra-fast creation of an app out of a g-sheet
  • Zero bugs
  • Super useful small details (e.g. Bar/QR-code scanner)
  • Simple text/image/video pages which could be easily stored in a g-sheet/g-slide (e.g. training material)
  • User specific access (e.g. define access to certain parts of the DB based)
  • The automation part is too complicated for me (it might be actually counter-intuitive or it might need better documentation/training)
  • Embedding G-forms directly in the app

  • Create a multiplatform app within minutes
  • Integrate a variety of field types
  • Automatically defining relationships between data
  • User Roles
  • Security filters

  • Quick to setup.
  • Simple to use.
  • Works on multiple platforms on the go.
  • Great documentation and support.
  • Allows one to be really creative.
  • Once the tables / UX Views get way too many in number, it can become a little daunting to manage. This part of the UX may need something really smarter.
  • Ability to Undo.
  • Could provide more UI Look and Feel options. BTW, the new Graphs look great, but have some bugs, while the new INPUT() feature is a great addition too.

  • I can keep my test data in Google Spreadsheets.
  • AppSheet does a good job creating a first "raw" skeleton of a prototype app.
  • If you name your data fields in a good way, AppSheet will correctly guess many of your intentions and create some basic infrastructure and artifacts that will save you time.
  • AppSheet has enough configuration capabilities to turn a prototype into an "alpha version" of an app that you can use for demos to colleagues etc.
  • AppSheet primarily assumes data are in RDBMS/SQL systems, but it should be technically possible and certainly desirable to keep data in a hybrid data store, e.g. GOOGLE Firebase collections, if/when these are modeled similar to RDBMS tables. (Maybe this is already possible, but it was not obvious to me.)
  • The views, esp. "deck" and "card" views, should offer more layout configurations.
  • It would help a lot if the "Data" and "UX" menu items would allow a tree-like grouping of the objects.
