Good place for building an app and the implementation was easy.

Pros

Easy to use and the people are nice to work with.

Cons

Hours of operation if you are in the US but understandable that they cannot operate 24/7.

We have been able to take previously on-site only Excel applications for design, tech support and customer service and easily deploy them to our teams in the field.

Pros

The fact that it can easily handle our most complicated spreadsheets with thousands of engineering calculations.

Cons

The sometimes tedious task of creating Styles, like RGB codes to change colors etc.

Reasons for choosing Open as App

Better feature, more control, lack of individual support.

I have been using it for some time now and I have been very happy with it. Living is South Africa with the exchange rate it is rather pricey, but if you in Europe it is very cost-effective.

Pros

As you know we are all living in crisis mode and economically things are very tight, however, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] at Open as App has been awesome in assisting with a reprieve for three months until hopefully, our situation turns around. I love the app. So Grateful to your company for your generosity. Thank you \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], your Company I trust will succeed. Norah Colman Bavin Inc.

Cons

Just the link to the actual calculator when opening it, is time-consuming. The opening has a long intro.

Reasons for choosing Open as App

Clean and neat program and very user friendly

Very helpful customer support with immediate responses.

Pros

Within a couple of hours you can create a super valuable app for smartphones and tablets with many functions. Missing functions get implemented based on feedback from a diligently working Support Team.

Cons

Missing functions at the beginning, but most of them were implemented meanwhile. Well done!

Pros

Ich suchte ein Lösung vorhandene Kalkulationen von Drucksachen ohne zeit- und kostenaufwändige Programmierung direkt ins WEB und auf eine APP zu bringen und diese meinen Kunden und Interessenten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Funktionalität und Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Open as APP hat mich sofort überzeugt.

Cons

Es sind natürlich noch Wünsche in Form von Features z.B. Berichte zur Datennutzung etc. offen. Auch würde ich mir eine verbesserte Webintegration wünschen. (Performance & Konfigurationsmögichkeiten)

Our sales teams needed a tool to show how vendors what increase in earnings they can expect if they apply our solution. This app allows us to set up a custom input based on that vendors own numbers and backend calculations spits out the answer. Invaluable!

Pros

Finally! A way to turn my spreadsheet into a visual dashboard. What a feast! I

Cons

There is nothing that I do not like about this app. It allows me to show complex calculations in an easy way
