I use it as a personal organization tool. I work with clients, and I generate apps that I share with my clients and let them interact with me via the app. I can control everything in a much better way than a spredsheet. I can generate emails, alerts, time alerts, it's been a great improvement for my organization, and clients can do everything in their mobile phone in a simple and fast way. The perception is a technological interaction that makes everything smooth.
Pros
Best way to replace and organize items that usually are on a spreadsheet.
Generate alerts on mobile or email.
Manage user levels and show different information to each user.
Cons
The UX could be better. I would like to have more freedom on design.
A free or cheaper option for personal projects would be great without the ten user limit.
Make the coding part more easier would be always great. It's easy now, but easier is better.
Likelihood to Recommend
I recommend Appsheet to everyone. But always with the advice that you'll have to spend some time learning. After you learn the basics you fall in love with the functionality. Some colleagues told me they don't want to learn anything else, but after I gave them a fast introduction they start using it. This introduction was absolutely focused in what they need, not some general usage.
I have started using AppSheet when I was looking for a web app that allowed me to have customers pinned on a map. I started checking around what could be done with AppSheet and today we have managed to automatize many workflows, and we have a fully working crm. The fact that you can connect apps like Zapier, or create automations that send emails, pop up messages and more when meet a trigger is really a turning point in automation settings. I must warn any reader however that even if AppSheet is quite easy to getting used to the user will need to learn all the features in order to organise more complex applications, so get ready to learn and AppSheet will reward you.
Pros
Low budget apps
Create app from ideas
Limit access to specific users
Cons
I would love to see more customizable UI
AI that follows instructions
Likelihood to Recommend
I would be happy if my coworkers started creating their own small-problem-solving apps with AppSheet, like a holiday approving app or similar.

We used to have lots of spreadsheets until I found out about AppSheet. I accidentally saw "create an app" on my google sheets and decided to click on it. Then I started to explore and I saw an excellent opportunity to integrate the many departments and I solved the inventory problem we had. Since then I've been creating solutions to track and organize our tasks and work daily routine.
Pros
Display data in a more friendly way
Simple and intuitive, easy to learn
Create fast automations
Cons
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
Likelihood to Recommend
It is hightly indicated for internal business management. It is less appropriate when you have many users
I have a problem with data recollecting in the field, and i learn to use AppSheet to solve this problem creating AppSheets for a diverse kind of tasks, like sugarcane planting , sugarcane harvesting, sprays and sugarcane fertilization. I like a lot AppSheet and it's flexibility to create apps for diverses tasks without knows in programing. I use the data recollecting by the app to make some graphics.
Pros
flexibility
accesibility
speed
Cons
Icons and details in UX could be better
Likelihood to Recommend
AppSheet, based in my short experience, could be appropriate in cases where you need to recollect data from users or employees. AppSheet allows you to work with diverse kind of data and diverse kind of industry. I use it for digitalize field data in a spreadsheet and automatize graphics in data studio or power BI.
Appsheet really helps simplify complex tasks. Appsheet helped me in prototyping a near-perfect application. Thank you Appsheet
Pros
create apps without/minimal coding
easily use
easily to update apps prototype
Cons
improve lookup search
advance report manager
different font format
extracted code
more ux feature

I use Appsheet as a tool for making sample applications which will later be developed further. But sometimes, with Appsheet is also enough for my partner. I like to use Appsheet because it's easy, simple and can be connected to a cloud database. This makes the application that I build closer to perfection.
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
Quick to setup.
Simple to use.
Works on multiple platforms on the go.
Great documentation and support.
Allows one to be really creative.
Cons
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.

We are developing various rapid prototypes and variants for a planned mobile app.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Suited: Rapid prototyping of hybrid mobile apps that are primarily data apps. Less suited: Apps that must be sophisticated in layouts and visuals from day 1.
AppSheet has allowed me to simply create a work order app for the Syrian Shrine Cincinnati non-profit organization which helps them to manage a small group of guys that work to keep the facility maintained. It was simple to implement and deploy to the 5-8 users that will use it regularly.
Pros
Keep the process simple for non-tech users.
Provides great documentation and user support.
Offers plans that don't cost a lot for very small groups needing a solution.
Cons
Help with how the end-user gets the app to use.
Likelihood to Recommend
Citizen developers would be well suited using AppSheet
I have a big problem with "beer keg" management. Certainly, there have already been losses of this company's assets. The idea with the Appsheet is to track these barrels on customers through data such as status, location, and date. I just finished the application and already tested it, but I still want to test some more possible features. Anyway, many thanks to Appsheet for giving me this feat!
Pros
Reference between tables
Map View
Dashboard (Chart View)
Action button
Behavior
Sync
Cons
Better detail the formulas for making great references.
Have more flexible design tools.
Improve or integrate the production of the logo of the app produced with google drawings.
Low-Code Development apps with great usability impact.
Likelihood to Recommend
I recommend the Appsheet as I see it as a very powerful tool that can integrate information that is very relevant for increasing productivity. With the organization management of any type of activity, whether technical or organizational.
