AppSheet 2026 Product Strategy Update

Wow, lots of passionate replies here. I appreciate everyone who continues to use and be zealous about AppSheet. First, let me say that despite the persistent rumors going all the way back to the Google acquisition over 6 years ago, Google has STILL not killed AppSheet.

Still, it is true that the team is not as large as it once was. However, we are still here and focused on running this platform as well as we can. (Sorry for my Gemini generated cartoon, but I’m no Photoshop expert. )

I will say to those who complain relentlessly, no one who actually has the power to make the decision to kill or deprioritize AppSheet at Google is ever likely to read your posts. And none of the engineers who work on the platform who might read your posts have any desire other than to run and develop it as best we can for you, our users. We perhaps do not engage as much as you would like, but there’s a lot to do to keep AppSheet going, not to mention corporate policies, etc.

The times are challenging with many changes in the world of software engineering, but we appreciate that there is still a community of passionate AppSheet users.

Sending a virtual hug…

• We appreciate all you devs (and the whole team)!

So…what are my options?

If AppSheet is currently working for you - then you don’t need to do anything and can keep using it.

If you want the latest and greatest, want plugins such as MS Teams, want to see new features every month and enjoy learning a new platform and tinkering all day, start looking elsewhere: get trials of different software and test them to see what they do better or worse.

Last year I looked at the competition as I was moving to a DB and it was to right time to re-evaluate. I stayed with AppSheet because it has unique features which aren’t found elsewhere.

I am under no illusion that AppSheet will still be here when I retire but that is the same for any software platform. They all evolve, get bought out and change or close down eventually.
