### "wonderful and very useful"

November 5, 2024

5.0

easy and fast and anyone can create an application from scratch and get a good application that can meet the needs

Pros

it is easy to create applications by just describing the characteristics that you want to have and the application is created instantly without the need for many hours of work or coding, it is very useful when a quick application is required and it can get you out of trouble. Its functionality is perfect and it simplifies workflows with the quick creation of an application

Cons

I don't dislike it at all, it is a good work tool that helps me reduce time in creating applications

### "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.

### "BEST PROGRAM EVER"

June 5, 2026

Pros

Cons

While Appy Pie Appy Pie is widely praised for its incredible ease of use and zero-code capabilities theirs NO CONS!

### "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.

### "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

### "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

### "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.

### "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.

### "Four years later and still excellent customer service"

December 13, 2024

5.0

Prenominal. 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. I tried to think of something and I can't.

### "Excellent support from \[sensitive content hidden\]"

April 29, 2025

4.0

Overall it has been positive, but I am mostly appreciative for the support from the agents, especially \[sensitive content hidden\], who has helped me republish the app in both Google and Apple.

Pros

The ease of designing and support for people with no coding experience and the original price.

Cons

I would like more ways to custom design from the edit page, ways to change the layout of the app, etc. It is pretty basic.

### "It gives me ease"

September 3, 2024

5.0

Their application creation is a simple process to carry out and very useful to make use of the apps you need without having to wait several days for the creation

Pros

It has been a very interesting tool where I can create any type of application I need by just specifying the characteristics I want it to have and the artificial intelligence creates it as I asked and very quickly without having to download programs or have programming and coding knowledge, its prices are cheap and I can create the applications I want

Cons

I don't like that in order to contact customer service it has to be scheduled with an appointment and you can't have immediate communication at the time I need it

September 7, 2024

1.0

My overall experience was horrible. I would never recommend this to anyone.

Pros

The templates are cool. Better on Wix but still manageable

Cons

I don’t like the service I receive. The chat is always off and there’s no one to speak to. Also they don’t know how to do apps. My app was rejected every single time they submitted it.

### "Scammy "free trial" and no unsubscribe links or buttons. "

July 29, 2024

1.0

Easy to sign up, hard to find out out to unsibscribe. had to email them to unsubscribe instead of it being an automated link (like signing up is)

Pros

Leaving the app behind and moving on with my life.

Cons

I didn't realise it was like Zapier and I'm not paying your annualised "monthly" subscription $144 to try something out. Scammy way to make money.  There is a lot on the internet about your services being hard to unsubscribe from.  Put an unsubscribe or stop trial link somewhere. I hate companies like yours. If your product isn't good enough to keep users then get better, dont scam them or have difficult ways to make them accidentally pay you.

### "Appy Pie is this app development that I've ever used"

July 8, 2022

5.0

In My overall experience with apple pie was very smooth and transitional loved it. Very easy to navigate and I recommend anybody beginners professionals I just want to do it fast anyone can use this.

Pros

Well I could tell you the pros of this app very good really smooth clean. Also very easy to use beginners that don't know anything about making apps could use this and not have a problem with it ever. I don't like about this the most is the creativity you can expand on this app is wonderful.

Cons

Cons of this app where I can pretty much say there's very little glitches in the app not very anything issue no big bugs or anything but time to time it does glitch a little bit but it working very fine it does work good.

### "Appy Pie"

November 29, 2022

5.0

Appy pie enables me to produce completely separate versions of some websites I design. This helps me in many ways and sometimes enables me to close extra sales from the same client.For me, there is nothing more exciting and enthusiastic than being able to develop and design an app without having to write long lines of weird codes ( its soaks) and Appy Pie makes it 100% possible.

Pros

Appy Pie is my best no-code app design environment. It's simple and supports the drag & drop feature which is very responsive. Designing an app with Appy Pie is the same as creating a website, however, the difference is that with Appy Pie, there's almost no need for CSS or HTML codes. The UI is very responsive and frankly, this app is worth 10/10

Cons

I enjoy the quality of templates Appy Pie offers but don't really appreciate the quality of stock images available. I think Appy Pie should improve its stock quality for those who've been used to working with HQ stock from Istock and the rest.There should be an in-app integration of a sort, that way- the user will easily search or import better stock images or videos from a better provider.

Good

Pros

EASY TO USE AND INTEGRATE WITH 3RD PARTIES. Easy to create what you want

Cons

Well, there could in time introduce more themes and creative aspects to the list. More payment teams need to be able to be integrated with this software than we would have a much better product

### "Appy Pie is the absolute best! "

March 12, 2022

5.0

Overall, I love this program, it is easy to learn and use. I love the push notification option, and how easily I can integrate media, images, and videos from various platforms!

Pros

I was able to design a unique and beautiful app very quickly. The interface is easy to use, and there are TONS of options and customizable functions! Their customer service is exceptional...fast, helpful, and very intelligent. Most of all, this has helped us tremendously with quickly reaching and uplifting our audience and community.

Cons

Continuity in how it appears across different platforms. For example, Samsung, vs iPhones vs tablets, can look very different. And sometimes when using the app I have to press my selection twice, the buttons/selections could be more sensitive.

### "Try other options first"

August 8, 2023

2.0

I would not download even if it's free. It needs more options, and I think k you should be able to get it how you want it before you even should have to pay.

Pros

How you tell it in a sentence or two what you want to create. And the and options once it creates the product.

Cons

It didn't create even close yo what I asked it to. None did it have any functions for the app I was trying to create. It may be better if you pay but once you tell it what you want it to create you can't really do anything without paying.

Pros

I like it because it is user-friendly and responsive. I like the results of using Appy Pie.

February 5, 2023

4.0

The software is easy to use and navigate. Very user-friendly, with excellent support from the chat team. We appreciated being able to see our progress and test the app while it was still in the design phase.

Pros

I like their drag-and-drop app-building service, which has many features—lots of options, excellent design, and simple to understand even for those with little experience. The developers are always available to assist me with any request. They are always available to help each and every customer.

Cons

So far, I have no complaints and have not encountered any problems that Appypie has not been able to resolve. I'm very pleased with how simple the software is to use.
