"Rapid development tool with good potential, but could be better"

3/5

What do you like best about Google App Maker?

The UI and UX of the development console and the finals apps are great. It is based on Material Design and looks familiar to final users. The integration with Googles apps and APIs is another important feature.

Once you get familiar with development principles, you can start building enterprise apps quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google App Maker?

Apps created with Google App Maker are acessible only by the organization, that is, external users can't interact with it. This is a limitation factor if you want to develop an app to be used by anyone.

Another problem is that Google Drive Tables (database) used by Google App Maker is deprecated. Google is forcing developers to use Google Cloud SQL, which is a paid solution. So, now organizations will have additional costs to deploy applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google App Maker:

Google App Maker deserves a try. It is an interesting tool to quickly develop enterprise apps. However, you should now consider that you will have costs with Google Cloud SQL to deploy a MySQL database for your apps (mandatory).

Initially, using App Maker is not a straightforward process. You will have to expend sometime to understand how it works. Templates can help you get through that.

Also, App Maker is only available for G Suite users (Business, Enterprise and Education versions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google App Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Google App Make to develop small enterprised apps to internal use by collaborators. We combine some apps to create an "intranet" with useful interactive tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Anywhere from Beginners to Experts!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Google App Maker?

They guide you step by step to creating and generating an app. We have some on our team who have never thought about wanting to creating an APP. Having Google App maker be as simple as it is makes it easier for our team members to utilize the app. Making edits, and updates can use a little tweaking but otherwise We will continue to use the app maker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google App Maker?

There are too many small steps that you can't skip. Like mentioned above about the edits and updates once created. There should be an easier alternative for editing an App already developed. We've looking for a better answer or I should say solution around this but still haven't found one yet. Other than that, everything is is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google App Maker:

Really look into what you want to use it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google App Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to create an app for each event we execute, which then allows our attendees to easily navigate day to day. We create the App per event specifically for each location, city, venue ect... Once created and submitted to the cloud, our team can have our attendees download the app so they have an overview of the event. The App Maker allows us to insert photos, and links to other sites which is very helpful. We've been looking at other app generators, but nothing is out there as simple as this one. We will continue to use it because of the simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Make awesome apps without coding!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Google App Maker?

The thing I like most is that it is VERY user friendly, and enables practically anyone to make a app without prior knowledge or training. I don't have to be an expert computer scientist or app developer, and the price is very worth it (only if you have GSuite) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google App Maker?

I dislike that there is a low variety of templates, and it won't yet allow me to input my own, or design a custom one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google App Maker:

For the first few months of usage, the program costs about $10 per month, so it's a great investment only if you will use it frequently. Otherwise, it is a bit expensive to pay so much for a single app. Also, it is good to do a trial before purchasing to make sure you know exactly what you should expect to be able to do on the software. Also, this is the only App Make I have personally used, and I would recommend it to anyone who is new to app development and maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google App Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work in an environment where we could use an app to speed up purchases, and answer FAQ! It saves time of the company and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
