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

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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Return on Investment
  • AppSheet helped us in Student Retention which is among the best across businesses similar to ours
Alternatives Considered
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.
Business Processes Supported
  • Attendance management along with progress tracking.
  • Stock Management.
  • Student Enrollment Management.
  • Batch Management.
  • View of the work done in the class.
Innovative Uses
  • 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.
Future Planned Uses
  • 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.
