Appy Pie Reviews

Pros

Easy to understand, everything is very clear and if not, the support always helps you

Cons

The possibility to track actions inside the app and the possiblity for a backup (this is common to most of the other platform so we have chosen appy pie because offers anyway the best options for the other things)

Reasons for Switching to Appy Pie

Easy to understand and to use, best support ever. We tried other platforms and it takes ages to get a reply for support, appy pie replies you immediately!

Pros

The product is easy to use and affordable! I am always able to get help exactly when I need it at any time day or night! It gives you the opportunity to grow your business and upgrade your product as needed. I love that!

Cons

At first it seemed overwhelming and I was aggravated, but it was because I had no idea what I was doing! I quickly learned so much that I was able to navigate through and make changes that I needed to make. Maybe update some of the instructional videos to make them a little easier to follow for some of us who have no clue whatsoever.

Reasons for Choosing Appy Pie

Because the online store/website offered by ConsignPro took days to post pictures of merchandise I listed for sale, causing problems. They only let me post a few items a month, very costly.

Reasons for Switching to Appy Pie

Because I can upgrade as my business grows, I do not have all these extra things i do not use, but am having to pay for.

Pros

Easy to setup and use. Integration with few third parties.

Cons

1. In India, it might work to just display the name of the product on the product listing page like Butter Panner or Dal makhani but in Germany where the food is so diverse, coming from so many regions, people have no idea what the product contains just by looking at the name. It also needs to display the description on the same page. Otherwise it's too much clicking/navigation, cannot work. The system should have the possibility to allow this as it's already like this on appy pie own website (which is generated from the same app).
2. Showing pictures/images on the product listing page is a major setback for categories with big product listing: How does the end user need to find the correct product if there are more than 50 items in the list, scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.
3. Payment system (e.g. Paypal amount could not be handled individually for the restaurants). I see that technically it might be possible but the product management team does not want that.
4. The current review system inside the app is a major joke. None of the customers who order food are able to provide a review and none of the customers who need to check/read the reviews are able to do so.
5. User management is of no use.
6. Translation of the app is possible but the backend system cannot be translated and the restaurant owners see all in english.
7. No reward or loyalty management system.
8. App size of 200 MB on iPhone.
9. 1000s of bugs in the system.

Pros

With my use of this product, all my developments for the applications that I use in working on it have improved. It is characterized by the multiplicity of functions and tools in my need for service.

Cons

A program that helps to develop applications easily using it only.

Pros

the platform allows anyone to create a mobile app using drag n drop style. No coding experience needed. if you can operate a Facebook account then you can create a mobile app. on top of all creating is free pay only when you want to publish so it's a 10 from me.

Cons

with a lot of data, the app can be slow, or connecting to external DB might require more than just drag and drop.

Reasons for Switching to Appy Pie

in my opinion appy pie had was richer in feature and a bit easier than competitors

Pros

Appe Pie allows basic to advance app building material al that a beginner can also make an app easily. The most user-friendly interface I have ever gone across.

Cons

App tutorial videos should be explained clearer information about App’s usage. Moreover, the technical team should not ask for information like email id or Fb id with the password for any technical issue or change. Paying for images is another frustrating aspect of this app.

Appy Pie is a complete solution to cheap app building for beginners.

Pros

It's really easy to use and no previous programming knowledge is required, with its drag and drop tool (which works wonderfully) it's really easy! The price is ok, fancy interface and great customer service, 10/10!

Cons

Everything is fine, the only problem I had was sometimes when uploading an image it gave an error, having to do it again, but it's okay

Reasons for Switching to Appy Pie

Because Appy Pie is easier to use and cutest, as well as mostly positive reviews!

Pros

The interface and workflow are so simple and intuitive that I hadn't had any problems until I jumped into the google console and even then the Appy Pie team give me a hand and helped me instantly . It was amazing how easy the process went and I was so afraid before this my attempt I had never tried to do an app.

Cons

Could find any disappointing points and I am pretty slappy with the web development and other applications build software.

Reasons for Switching to Appy Pie

Because it has what I need and it is user-friendly.

Pros

Being able to use the website to have a headstart creating the app.

Cons

I had a hard time linking my accounts after I made a mistake and wanted to change my email. It canceled my trial and customer service wasn't very helpful.

Pros

It is a fascinating platform because anyone can create an app without being familiar with coding

Cons

The fact that certain things cannot be done until you make a payment.

Pros

Simply the ability to make an app with little to no experience
What you get
Online support with live chat andEmail support
Tools to show you how to make an app on YouTube
24/7 ability to update your app which once save the changes becomes live and changes on app on other people’s phone with your app you made
Many buttons to use like food or review, taxi, videos, documents and so on.

Cons

We have had the app we have made called Pitt Hopkins app since 2016 with Appypie and we like most people recognise that there are some things that could be improved but to be far they have got better has time has gone by I would like to see multiple contact emails under contact button but saying that you could use directory button or editor button so it’s so minor

Pros

The integration with our current business process was fairly easy. The main features to build an app out of the box are there. Within hours of first using it you can have a functioning App. It also goes beyond the app itself as you can integrate your app with other Appypie products (Automation tools...). I believe the biggest strength is that a lot of the headaches of managing and taking care of an app are being taken care of. I spend a lot of time on the chat and it is great to know that the submission team is always available. It creates a certain peace of mind for me which is really important. The support team sometimes comes up with creative solutions as well. I have gotten to interact with some of them on a regular basis ([SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]...) so kudos on that :-)

Cons

The main thing I would say comes to the code customization part. I have a had a hard time trying to implement a custom search feature and was told it was not possible when I have a deep feeling it is. I am still keeping hope that we can find a way to circumvent the issue.

Pros

1- Very easy to customize mobile apps using it.
2- The real-time app preview is awesome.
3- The availability of a push notification feature.

Cons

1- Expensive compared to multiple other competitors.
2- Missing essential features, such as:
* You can't edit the format of your text content, since basic tools are missing (Font size, font type, bold, italic, justification, etc...)
* Design customization lets you only change the colors and direction of the elements, but nothing else.
* You can't add a folder within another folder!
3- It has no hosting capabilities, you'll have to upload the content you wish to share through the mobile app through a third-party.
4- Their support team is somehow divided, the [email protected] personnel will redirect you back to the website chat support guys, and vice versa.

Pros

The 24-hour tech support/customer service is probably the strongest feature of this software. The software is good and can use some advancements in design, as some of the templates are very basic and clients have specific desires in mind when creating an app. Some of the features are difficult to figure out and sometimes they don't really work right. But it does offer a lot of great features for the price.

Cons

More training for the tech agents who handle the chats. Often they just repeat from a script but don't actually answer the question. And it sometimes takes a long time to get an answer. Sometimes the techs leave you waiting without checking in to let you know they are still researching the question.

Pros

In just 3 step can make 5 type of application
No coding require.
Good design.
Best and fast support.
Cheapest price instead other platform that have less option
All option to maximise your revenue with your app (ads, purchase in app)
Good explanation for every option.

I use this platform more than 2 years and strongly recommend it to all, just have a try

Cons

a- Closeable banner ads which minimize the advertisement for more than 40% i prefer that my banner ads have a block in all pages and visitor can not close the app.
(visitor has to close the banner to get the start quiz button and if its block it will not)
b- Add a section in platform which members who sign up in app and pay for it will not see more ads in the app

Pros

The features are awesome. The membership card and loyalty system alone is great but now to add it in Augmented Reality and your own store is awesome.

Cons

I like it all because of the customer support. I have a problem with the member card. I think if you give a user a download button for a member card it should.
1. be easy to find in the phone.
2. be a real member card not just a screen shot of the member page.

I think just rearrange the existing info and display Member card image, Qrc code, member name, Member id, Member expiration date, maybe member Profile image if they uploaded it to the app.

Also the alarm on my radio section is so not needed and I do not know how to take that feature off.

Pros

The features that are point and click are plentiful. There is more than I will use, and the customization is amazingly easy for things that are not in their system.

Cons

If you are looking for super budget app building, this is not your solution. It is a little pricey if you are just starting up, but the features and quality of the builds that you are getting is more than worth the money.

Pros

The add and drop features covering 95% of the client's needs. Allowing us to do custom code job for more complex apps. Like the shopify interface. Print on Demand would be nice also.

Cons

Need more up to date design templates. Sometimes the apps run a little sluggish because of the VM., It would be ideal if the platform produces fast flutter like code.

Low entry cost for reseller.

Pros

Building an App for my business was really easy while using the Appy Pie platform. I could do everything I needed with it feature wise and I have a lot of freedom with styles, layout and personalization. And whenever I did not understand something the Appy Pie team assisted me any hour of the day when I needed help. I have not tried any other platforms and I never will have to because it satisfies all my needs. Thank you!

Cons

I have not had one problem. They could possibly explain other costs involved such as Google Location Services in advance. That was a bit of surprise to me, but none the less had nothing to do with Appy Pie!

Pros

Anytime I had a question or concern there was always live help available

Cons

third party software, a la cart pricing

The high caliber of the apps that Appy Pie creates is another benefit. The platform makes use of cutting-edge technologies to guarantee the dependability and performance of the apps built on it.

Pros

Easy to handle and as their saying few few clicks and drag and drops your app will be ready. You only have to fill in the content which you necessary require in the app. That's it. App is ready for testing and publishing to store assistance is provided. After sale support is also great.

Cons

Few things are there as everything is not perfect. Lack of layout, themes and design. As per selected category few specific design are there and you have to use them . You are not able to add more design at your end. Frequent update in platform might ended your app with resubmission as the too suggest to get it republished after every 3-6 months

Pros

It has a totally free strategy with some pricing and fundamental functions to provide. With the Platinum strategy, you can publish your apps on various shops such as apps Store easly. It makes app advancement enjoyable and simple to find out, simple to comprehend and utilize.

Cons

The only issue is for those who are more advanced in app development, as this tool does not use all the personalization it would need as a traditional app home builder.

Pros

This is a great service to create and app for you company if you have no or little coding experience. It is very easy and intuitive to build the app. There are many features available for all kinds of companies from churches to restaurants to all other kinds of business.

Cons

Although they do offer a free plan that allows you to create a limited edited html 5 site, you really have to step up to one of there top two most expensive plans to really get any benefit out of it. it isn't until this tier that your app will be placed into the ios store.

Pros

The ease of use, I have had no issues with my subscribers, no downtime ever

Cons

For my needs this is absolutely perfect.
