Hi WillowMobileSys,
I hear your frustration - and your passion for the platform.
I’m not trying to be a social influencer.
I simply summarised what anyone can read for themselves in posts like these:
- Concern Regarding Platform Reliability and Future Direction in 2025 - #15 by Zowy
- Future of AppSheet
- What would happen to my apps if Appsheet died?
- A Honest Reflection on AppSheet’s Direction (and Why We’re Getting Frustrated)
… and then suggested
- the significant outages
- the lack of communications during outages
- the slow-down in development, and
- now the confirmation of very few or zero future features
… means anyone using AppSheet on a business critical system should see these as red flags and make sure they have a business continuity plan in the event AppSheet gets sunset. That’s my opinion.
As I wrote, I am sure the developers behind the platform are passionate about it, but taking the big picture from threads of the last 2+ years, the pattern is that Google over-commits and under-delivers.
Let’s hope (again?) that they do keep it running - even if with no new features - so the thousands of people using it can continue to do so.
Yes, Appsheet is great and it can do great things. Google has been anything but confidence-inspiring though. Those two things can be true at the same time.
