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

Appsheet can create apps with real value for any industry to a certain extend. The more heavily weighed down by data and views the slower it processes, so use this for situations that don't require an entire database of data to be constantly filtered through its applications.

As a company that develops applications for other businesses, we've found that AppSheet is very flexible and can address many business scenarios. One unique feature of AppSheet is its offline capabilities. There are few no-code development platforms that can handle situations where users don't have access to the Internet. This ability makes AppSheet well-suited for any kind of remote applications that need to be accessed in rural or remote areas.

I find Appsheet to be a very effective and productive tool for field surveys regarding point geolocated data. It is very practical for both long or short surveys, as well as for short or long survey periods. It is easy to implement interactive surveys, where the choice of an answer from multiple options [is] defined, which other questions are shown or hidden. Multiple users, with multiple user levels, can also be implemented with users [to] only see their own data, or specific parts of the app.

In my particular case, it is less appropriate for linear geolocated data, as I cannot store tracks.

I recommend AppSheet to my clients because of its features such as Easy to install, Easy to start the app, very flexible.
Generating PDF report similar to WORD document is not working, footer, header, formatting functions are not flexible.

Now that I've used AppSheet I won't use any other program. The programs that are out there are designed for other companies. AppSheet is personalized for my company and does what I need it to do, not what everybody else wants it to do.

AppSheet's solutions scale easily for everything from apps for a single user to apps being used by at least a medium-sized organisation. When the app solution addresses an ongoing need over the medium-term or long-term, the effort put into the app will pay dividends.

AppSheet is probably less suited toward once-off or very short-term problems with very complex data relations as the amount of effort into the app may be more than finding a more manual or mundane way of handling the data.

Map visualisation of fixed assets is brilliant and especially the ability to geotag new and existing records.
Formatting of map pins and text/labels to traffic light status.
Not so great for dashboard reporting but it can be done to a degree.
It works great for what we need although a multi image field would be good. Currently it is only single image fields.
Expanding on the KML file capability to allow more complex shapes would also be useful.

AppSheet enables team-based sharing of information to allow quick and easy inputs of data from traveling sales associates. It is not suited for apps that may require interfacing with other functionality of mobile devices such as Bluetooth communication with smart devices.

For a simple spreadsheet, with one tab - too easy. For a questionnaire, it has nice conditional options which mean that you can direct what the user sees next depending on answers to previous questions. In a more complicated environment, anything can be done but it takes a bit more patience.

Appsheet is well suited for situations where you need to edit and organize a spreadsheet and calculate columns. It is less suited for working with inventories and multi-users. On mobile phones, it is very good but sometimes it makes unexpected errors. It is very slow when loading photos.

AppSheet has everything that I've needed for a small, RAD application. Complex calculations, solid record keeping, GeoLocation, Templatized broadcasts of documents and reminders, photo recordation, and so much more. Most of the billing is done by active users, however, you can even set an application to generate its own users, and control access restrictions within it rather than using the multi-user tier of AppSheet's design.

Using our specific app, it is very useful in times of emergencies! Example 1: A pupil broke his toe during a sports match - I was able to contact his father (phone call) within 1 minute of the injury (easily and without hassle). Example 2: A young pupil was left at school one day after 5:30 pm... I asked them what their parent's phone numbers were but they did not know! I was able to search for their details, called them and found out that their car had broken down, but were on their way.
