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

Justified as I am a good prescriptor but still free user. Level of support is mora than adequate
I am waiting to build a profitable functionality and then I will move to premium
Thorugh the user community, when I clearly stated my issue, the answer by an experienced user was fast and reliable.

AppSheet is one of the biggest enablers for a small business like ours. We have gone paperless on the key aspects of Education Management for an Art School for children that we manage. e.g. We went beyond taking Attendance as Present/Absent/Tardy etc and included Work done in the class as a key parameter. This enables the teachers to monitor progress as she/he enter attendance. Stock Management, Slot Management, Uploading Completed Work into a Gallery, etc are some of the best uses that we have had so far. I can't stop thanking the team for having created this Intuitive gem of a platform. BTW, I have tried PowerApps, Caspio, etc, and could not go beyond one day of use because am hooked to the simplicity, intuitiveness, and overall "awesomeness" of AppSheet. Moreover, community support is the other positive. You get all the answers. You get to see new feature requests being addressed, clean workarounds, etc. Overall, really really pleased with it.
  • 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.
AppSheet in my opinion is a great enabler, especially for small businesses. Am not too sure about Scaling up though. As such, I did not find it limiting as far as my needs were concerned so far. Licensing could be made more affordable for countries like India. There could be more slabs e.g. Let's say 10-15 people company could be asked to pay lesser than the fee for 15-20.

  • AppSheet helped us in Student Retention which is among the best across businesses similar to ours
Way above all of them for the simplicity of setup, usage, and intuitiveness. I have used it primarily with Google Drive, but, am sure it works well with other data sources as well. The community support is strong, really strong.

Any kind of Software Development Background is good, mainly should be comfortable with SQL-like constructs, the basics of a good UX flow, and very comfortable with Excel/Google sheets. Of course, should understand the nitty-gritty of our business.
  • Attendance management along with progress tracking.
  • Stock Management.
  • Student Enrollment Management.
  • Batch Management.
  • View of the work done in the class.
  • We enhanced Attendance taking by adding "Work done in the class", which helped us track if a student is taking more than the SLA to complete an assignment. This is a key metric.
  • We used the work done in the class to showcase the work and displayed it on a big screen for parents to browse through the work done by their wards, and similar work done by others. This is a read-only view and acts like a kiosk for prospective parents as well as an encouragement to students.
  • Our is an Art School, BTW, where we upload completed pictures.
  • I would use it to get insights using the OCR features, the AI features for reporting, checkpoints, and decision making.
We are still less than 10 users and probably may continue to be so. But, this being a franchisor set up, could be of use to other users like us.

AppSheet has been used in our organization as an information database for teachers. The app is called "Always in Touch" and it basically allows for any teacher to search for parental information for any student that attends our school. It also shows what grade and class the pupil is in, what their parent's names are as well as contact information for both. All teachers have access to the app at the moment and it is used on a daily basis. In the past, it was always difficult to find a pupil's information, staff members would have to go to the office and ask the secretaries for a parents contact information - now all we need to know is the pupil's name and we can personally search for it.
  • Easy to use
  • Gives a wide range of options
  • Are easy to contact when there is a problem
  • Cheaper prices?!
  • More options for the free version
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.

I am the designer of the app at our school, so I am the only one that really knows how it is made...
  • In emergencies
  • After hours (when the school office is no longer open)
  • General use (when you can't remember a certain parent's name)
  • We have also used it to create a "Prefect app) - this allows for the school prefects to issue debits to pupils who are not following school rules
  • We have also used it to create an absentee app
  • Create a marking / report app
The app has been extremely useful since its inception.
  • Being able to call / sms / email directly from the app on your phone
  • Adding images
  • The map function
  • The "ref" function
Yes
Very well.
Once the app is made, it is very easy to use.
