AppSheet, An Excellent tool for optimizing the time consuming task of collecting and organizing data in field surveys
Overall Satisfaction with AppSheet
I am a Ph.D. student and have been working with Appsheet to collect data in the field through both on-site data collection and face-to-face surveys. The first use was related to garbage collection, and currently, I am working on urban green space usage preferences. I set up the apps and also use them on the field.
Pros
- Being able to prepare an app almost without coding and without the need for a developer account is incredibly powerful.
- Working on multiple platforms is a real bonus. I have been able to work with both Android and iOS devices on the field, without any kind of problems.
- Developing, [...] testing, and refining the app is a very fluid process.
- With a little extra work, and some extra programming, [multiple] language apps can be created.
Cons
- Registering tracks would be a very good bonus for my line of work.
- When creating a new app from a Google sheet, fields used as names or separators in the app structure could benefit from a clever way to be detected, similarly to other types of fields.
- Setting personalized icons, besides the ones available, would also be a bonus.
- It is hard to quantify, but being able to produce effective and easy-to-use apps for field surveys, I have greatly improved my data collection capabilities.
- Digital data collection also significantly reduces data preparation time for statistical analysis in software such as RStudio or JUMP.
- Data integrity is greatly improved by reducing data collection errors and removing the analog-to-digital conversion step, which is a source of data errors.
