Survey App that resembles a public Google Form

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hey Guys,

Is it possible to create an appsheet survey that resembles a “public” google form?
I’d like users to complete some data, without having to login into the app (preferably using the app through a browser, mobile or desktop)

User shouldn’t be allowed to change any aspect of the app, just complete the requiere fields, and press send. I’ll collect the info on a google spreadheet.

In case this is NOT possible, does the Starter plan include unlimited users to use this form?

Thank you!

As mentioned already you can natively use Google Forms in your app if you wish.

But if you’re wanting to utilize an App, because of all the power available, you can use the Publisher Pro license:

  • $50/app/month
  • No limit to users
  • No login
  • No Useremail() function, so you can’t verify who people are

  • Info on this license type is kinda hard to find.

==================================================================================================

The public version of the Answer Portal is a good example of this; it’s a public app that anyone can use, which has several sections and features inside it, where people can submit data through a form. I’ve tied the tables from this app to a private version as well, which requires a login to use, that has more functionality (because of the logged-in nature of the app) - so that when someone submits something in the public app, it’s visible in the private app automatically.

=============================================================================================

Using a Google Form is nice because:

  • Quick to open
  • Easy interface
  • Can be connected to your app to trigger automations, or use as a data source.

Using an App is nice because:

  • MANY more UX options
  • Actions to make complex things easier
  • But it takes longer to load

Hey MultiTech, your reply is spot on!
The Publisher Pro License is the best AppSheet option for my needs.

Anyways, After some thought, I came to the conclusion that the best solution is to have a google form embeded on my website. Super straight forward, and hassle free. I toyed with the idea of a custom app, but it won’t be the best UX, plus it’s not worth the effort.

Thank you for the detailed reply, have a great one!
