What do you like best about Appery.io?
Its simplicity of use, and high productivity made possible are the greatest selling points of the Appery.io platform, as it lowers the barrier to entry for those interested in developing mobile apps, but also facilitates greater productivity through the benefits offered, such as the simple IDE with close to a code-behind experience, bundling of back-end services and cloud-based database such that back-end infrastructure setup isn't needed.
For those interested in JavaScript based development using JQuery or Ionic, and looking for a simple yet powerful IDE, or those seeking to build an app with minimal coding or no-coding at all, then this is a very good choice.
Appery.io platform enables me to delivery mobile app solutions quickly to clients, helping considerably towards the financial bottom line.
Its also designed in a way that allows the use of push technology, external APIs, and databases, and a range of other powerful features and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Appery.io?
Whilst there are a range of packages available on the platform, with an even cheaper beginner platform recently added, I find that the cost and payment structure can be a bit restrictive and inflexible.
Since I first started using Appery.io, the subscription cost has increased considerably (missed out on being grandfathered in), which makes one concerned about future arbitrary increases.
The options for subscription are payable on either a monthly or annual basis, and the process of adding more developer seats or increasing the app count can be a bit confusing, but also restrictive and inflexible.
A number of things which could be done include allowing payments to be done on a quarterly basis, as well as monthly and annually, and having flexibility in adding optional extras like new developer seats or increasing app count, so its as simple as adding to cart.
Perhaps separating the cost structure of development (apps) from that of back-end services/hosting would help, such that it would be easier to apportion costs of hosting/back-end services according to end-user clients/customers.
Although plugins can me made publicly available, there is a need for a market-place for developers with a clear framework for building and selling plugins to other members of the Appery.io community.
An offline development platform is worth considering, based on a licensing or subscription model, which would still use the cloud-based back-end database/services.
Dark-mode or other themes for documentation section would be helpful (perhaps similar to old DevCenter2).
Ability to manage JavaScript libraries/code better would be helpful, such that one easily search across to find specific code/functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
