We tried other platforms and it takes ages to get a reply for support, appy pie replies you immediately! Review Source DA Daryl A. IT Support Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Appy Pie is not all Peaches and Cream." November 12, 2024 4.0 On my first round with Appy pie, they charge me twice for their application. After 3 weeks it was reversed, however, I have to go through several stop payment charges with my banking institution. I was told in an email that the billing process was automated, so they need to get their backend together. Pros Appy Pie is good for most of the basic applications that's needed today. I have used the free (get started version), as well as a paid version. Cons As far as a UI/UX design, it fairly straight forward, when it comes to the technical stuff, it was not, and getting assistance was a long drawn out process with their help desk. I ended up coding my functionality in Android Studio using Kotlin. Switched from [Buildfire](https://www.capterra.com/p/147790/BuildFire/) Buildfire lacked the technical functionality needed for the project. I was told during an online consult that we should find a custom app developer, however, Internet of Things, Bluetooth and the Internet protocol are in every type of smart device today. They may need to rethink their platform. Review Source TS Theuns S. Director Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Billing woes" June 20, 2026 1.0 Project never worked as agreed on. They continued billing after we have confirmed cancellation and received agreement from them that no further billing will occur. No communication since. I would never use this business again. Pros Their self-promotion is excellent. On 'paper' this service should assist in most of the common and even uncommon needs a business have when searching for an automation partner. Cons Inability to deliver on agreed to deliverables - it took more than 12 months, multiple meetings and continuously pointing out issues that remained unfixed or undelivered before we cancelled the additional year agreement. Even after cancellation and receiving confirmation that the cancellation was received in time and that no further billing would occur, they continued to take payment. Billing admin is horrendous with no communication. Switched from [n8n.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/198028/n8n-io/) Supposedly easier integration between different api's Review Source MJ Mystical J. CEO Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BEST PROGRAM EVER" June 5, 2026 5.0 Designing workflows, customizing features, and adding appointment forms or listing pages can be done visually with immediate previews. AND I ALWAYS GET MY VALUE FOR MY MONEY. Pros The platform makes it incredibly easy to attach modern features like push notifications, in-app purchases, and geofencing without building them from scratch. customer support is great, plus web development is amazing!! Cons While Appy Pie Appy Pie is widely praised for its incredible ease of use and zero-code capabilities theirs NO CONS! Review Source IS Ignacio S. Real Estate Agent Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No-code real estate team app builder." October 13, 2025 5.0 Agents dropped property information and lead forms onto mobile with haste, readily scheduled showings with appointments, and built client-facing apps without coders, enhancing customer experience and project time-to-market benefits. Pros Easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface and pre-built templates enable agents to easily develop property listing apps, customize workflows, and add appointment forms without coding; regular updates and support simplify deployment and keep app features up-to-date. Cons Advanced customizations involve additional learning or pay access, and certain design features or integrations are limited, perhaps avoiding distinctive branding or functionality for premium use cases. Review Source JH James H. Events manager Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wish it was better" June 17, 2025 3.0 Overall the experience with Appy Pie is mixed I wish they would definitely take more control over the publishing the app since it is $60 a month just to keep your app functional in both Android and Apple and that's during the creation and the testing phase. Pros I like the concept of making a drag and drop app without using coding and the app process creating it was a little challenging but not too hard and I like the features that you were able to put into your app. Cons When it was finally time to get the app onto the app store it was a hassle because they test everything there and I had a app in the Google console for 22 days with no testing being done. A lot of the tutorials are dated and are not up to current versions especially when using the messaging part of it and having to use another source other than apple pie. Alternatives considered [Yapp](https://www.capterra.com/p/149175/Yapp/) Reason for choosing Appy Pie I wanted to create a standalone app and not a app that is part of an app already in the app store Review Source Barry F. Sole Proprietor Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't Try if You Have an Older Phone or Want a Unique or Attractive App!" November 3, 2025 1.0 Quite frankly, I'm shocked it remains a consideration as a top tier no-code option for app development, given how much better and more sophisticated other options (and vibe coding in general) has grown over Appy Pie's drag and drop interface that is passable only at best on the most up-to-date mobile devices. Do not try to if you have an older phone! Pros Appy Pie gives users the opportunity to build a mobile app without deep coding experience, but that experience leaves a lot to be desired. It was a drag and drop builder pre-vibe coding, a relic now and it should have remained a fossile. Cons The menus are confusing and poorly executed, and many locked behind paywalls with better features. They talk about their free trial, but actual execution or publication almost isn't possible without becoming a paying customer. Even the paying customer apps, however, have a cookie cutter feeling to them - and that is not a pretty cookie. You've seen these apps before - and once you realize it, you won't unsee them. They are the most basic apps and sites out there. The aesthetic is cheap. Review Source JP Jamie P. Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Apps for you " May 21, 2026 5.0 Brilliant, and easy to use without any issues! Appy pie will do the job for you in minutes with minimal effort Pros Appypie is a fantastic and easy to integrate platform that allows for web based apps to be developed. With an automatic and integrated approach, appy pie builds apps with a wide range of features that would can’t find elsewhere. Fully customisable web based apps made simple. Cons Appy pie doe require experience of web based development and continual upgrading. But the more work the better app Review Source EC Emanuel C. Author Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast app builder for storytelling requirements." May 22, 2025 4.0 We designed a sister app for our podcast episodes and behind-the-scenes content. That helped drive up our engagement and allowed to reach an audience that is more mobile than web. Pros It allowed me to create an easy-to-build storytelling app without coding. It’s wonderful for featuring our audio and news features in a mobile-first manner. Cons There is limited design flexibility you are often stuck with stiff templates. Plus, publishing to the app store comes with a couple of hurdles. Review Source JA Juanita A.

Out of the four plus years I've been with this company every Representative that I've spoken with via chat, has excellent customer service, they're very knowledgeable of their product and most importantly they move fast. Pros Three chats in one day and three different Reps and he was knowledgeable and amazing as well. I am still blown away from the amazing customer service. Cons Honestly, I don't have any cons.

Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A complete failure using appy pie" February 21, 2022 2.0 After using the Appy pie system for more than 10 months now, I would have to write this review to tell other users about what are you going to expect. It is going to be fair review because i have also used it for atleast 10 months now. Well for beginners who would like to create an app with features provided by appy pie, this is very good start. Setting up the system is easy, with having some technical background. The system provides lot of functionalities, lot of integration options, but as soon as you start using the system, you will realize that there are basic functions which does not work. It is a major headache/frustration to explain the issues to support people. They are quick to provide reply to your queries but be prepared to explain the whole error situation again and again. If the system is hanging, they will try to solve it, but be prepared to get new bugs into the system. You yourself have to test every possible scenario on your own. As soon as a requirement or basic functionality cannot be provided by them, they will just reply that other customers might be affected so we cannot do that. But the truth is, no real customer could work with the system without a fix, so that means there are actually no other customers using the feature. And if you have no way. You try the system, work with the system, get clients by spending lot of effort and then after 10 months you realize that system is not going to support. But you are stuck, no other choice. 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. Review Source Shaunak P. Data Platform Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome and feature-rich no-code app builder!" November 20, 2022 5.0 Basically, Appy Pie is an early-stage cloud platform that enabled a no-code development environment, We used it for a couple of mid-scale projects and still customizing it. If you want to leverage basic functionality according to some general business logic and performance, then it is a good fit. But if you require a full-fledged app development with extraordinary capabilities, then please note that this platform isn't made for that and it is not going to replace the native development. Pros Appy Pie is so advanced and futuristic. The platform developers exactly know the requirements of the no-code requirement in the market. There are many instances where you are low on time and still need basic POC to pitch a capitalist, Appy Pie is going to be a savior there. You can leverage drag and drop facility to build your workflow according to the rough design that you have in your mind. I would suggest, using an AI-based drawing-to-UI maker online platform to generate a design and build on top of Appy Pie. Cons There are no such cons at this price range (which also offers a free tier with limited capabilities). But if we compare to some backend low code generator platforms like Back4App, there should be some practical capabilities in the free tier too, except that everything is at par with the expectations. It is good for a small business that does not thrive on IT capacity. Also, backend integrations with on-prem resources could be involved on a trial basis so that a POC can be designed. Reason for choosing Appy Pie Just use Appy Pie, it is one of the first of its kind. Also, it is very much easy to export the format you desire. Review Source Walter G. Adviser Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unlimited designs" July 19, 2024 5.0 reduced waiting hours for creating applications, images or videos is now easier with unique designs creating more flexible workflows Pros The ease of creating image and video applications without code is wonderful to be able to have this tool apart from the fact that with its artificial intelligence it is easy to create and with very good results, a large amount of time is eliminated in the creation that with coding the process is slower . I feel happy to use this platform because, in my opinion, it is becoming easier to create applications without the need for programmers. Cons perhaps the prices are a little expensive but it is a drawback because its good performance makes one pay whatever price Review Source PTCH Princess Terana Caram H. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "beginner-friendly" May 24, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Appy Pie is great! The business problem I solved with Appy Pie is they do the coding for you. I didn't need to code to make an app so it's super easy. I realized that the benefits of using Appy Pie includes less stress. I think coding really is a stressful job so I really find Appy Pie useful. Pros The feature that is most impactful is no code because when you use this software, you can make an app even if you're not a programmer. It is easy to use. The integration with my existingbusiness process is easy. Cons I think the feature that are missing is advanced option where we can try understanding the underlying coding system to us that has no idea of coding. Though there is no aspects of the product that is hard to use, I think it could improve by a more versatile version like it can be opened on a smart TV to present the idea to audience. Review Source NR Nigel R. App Developer Fund-Raising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great No Code App Builder for Beginners and Beyond" March 8, 2021 5.0 Ok so like I said I’ve been with them since 2016 with our app. Overall it has been an experience in a good way as I must of emailed them more than my family and always got the helpful answers I needed to sort the app out. I am please Appypie have their own YouTube site for visual help as well. So I would say thumbs up from me and hope they continue to add new features to existing buttons and look forward to new things to add. 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 Reason for choosing Appy Pie I must be honest the support was good and live help when you first make a no code app it can feel a little strange if you have never made one and they gave me the confidence to keep going at it Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student in Industrial Maintenance Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Appy Pie Review" February 16, 2023 5.0 Overall, Appy Pie is an excellent platform for users who want to create mobile applications without needing any programming knowledge. Its ease of use and intuitive interface make it an ideal choice for small businesses and entrepreneurs who are looking to create applications for their businesses. Pros I used Appy Pie for over a year to create, design, and develop applications, and I was very satisfied with this no-code platform. What I liked the most about Appy Pie was its ease of use and intuitive interface, which allowed me to quickly create mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone without needing any programming knowledge. Cons The downside of the platform is that some advanced features are only available in the highest subscription plans, which can be costly for users who need those features. Additionally, while the platform offers a range of pre-built design templates, these templates may seem limiting for users who are looking to create more customized applications. Review Source LM Likhwa M. Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience with Appy Pie" August 15, 2019 4.0 I found Appie Pie fairly easy to use if not rather too simple. In all fairness, Appy Pie does what it is intended to do. It works particularly well for someone who is just looking to create a basic store or business app but falls short for someone with some tech experience wanting to create something more complex. I managed to create a simple app but not exactly what I had envisioned because of the limitations when it comes to customization and control of the back end. It's still a great resource and I recommend it to anyone who needs to build a basic app. Pros I like that it allows you to create a simple app even when you have no programming skills. In just a matter of minutes I can create an app for my clients. Appy Pie uses a series of questions to guide you as you develop your app and so the process becomes even simpler. Appy Pie also comes with the standard app features such as an About page and a link to your own website. It also comes with templates which can be easily customized to suit one's needs. I also like the text guides which suggest what to write or put in the various sections of your app. Appy Pie is fairly easy to use and anyone can get started building their app even with minimal knowledge of how to do so. Cons I wanted to build a more complex app and Appy Pie was limited in that regard. My vision had a detailed chat feature as well as a dynamic interface. I also needed more control of the app's backend so as to collect other user metrics and data but I could not. Appie Pie provides the developer little control over the user interface and functionality and this makes it rather limited for someone wanting to do more. For example if you would like an animation when a button is clicked or some background activity to happen automatically when a user does a specific action. Review Source RI Romeo I. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall quality" January 8, 2021 4.0 Overall experience I would say it is a good one. Nothing is perfect, but in my eyes the good outweighs some of the things we have to walk around to make things work. When you have a team of people dedicated to help you move forward then the outcome is bound to be good. I cannot say i have not been frustrated at times, but the signature in the email of the support team say "To your success". That alone means, and says a lot. 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. Review Source SB SELENA B. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Frustrating Waste of Time" December 18, 2018 1.0 Terrible. I'm just hoping this is a really bad learning curve. We got a fully functioning LMS (with tests, grading, certificates, surveys, videos, etc.) up and running by ourselves TWO YEARS AGO (from another site we found here on capterra) so I can't imagine an app being any harder than an LMS - but it seems this one is. I will update my review if it gets better and we actually launch something but right now it does not look good. Pros They answered the phone although it seems like they are having multiple conversations at one time - which often leads to confusing and bad information. Cons They didn't help me when they answered in the phone. It doesn't seem like anyone speaks English as a 1st language and both I and my computer engineer had a very difficult time understanding what they were saying. In fact one tech support person told me to delete some of my work (and repeatedly told me to do so), then when I wanted to add my categories back (because they should have never been deleted in the 1st place), the add button didn't work to add them back again. I tried different browsers and sent them print screens - so I'm wondering if this software works reliably. They're telling me to email them the problem when I'm already sharing print screens (and I have video) through their live chat. There is an ENORMOUS language barrier - and the features and functions of appy pie are not well described. I spent all day trying to learn what was a category and what was a listing and how to add a page in a category (or maybe it's a listing). There is no glossary with pictures and there is no "i" button next anything and their broken English makes it virtually impossible for communications. I am perturbed that they told me to have them build my site instead after they told me to delete some of my work and their buttons no longer work to add what I deleted. That seemed kind of wrong - and I wonder if anyone else was told to delete their progress and then their appy pie dashboards buttons were deactivated so they couldn't move forward again.

February 9, 2021 3.0 Pretty basic mobile application development services, although it is very easy to use, but it lacks essential features. It suits our requirements since do no provide any services through our mobile application other than information. 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 support@appypie.com personnel will redirect you back to the website chat support guys, and vice versa. Reason for choosing Appy Pie Because it was very easy to use and requires no technical knowledge.
