Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros This is an easy to use application maker. It also has classes to help people learn the process! Kids should use this too to help them learn! We used this in our outreach to local school-kids, to help introduce them to if/else statements, loops, and such, and just generally get coding / computer science / app development as an option in their minds! Google App Maker has the simplest coding features, that every person no matter their skills can easily run. Also, Google App Maker comes with different and well explained templates, making the program more friendly. Google App has enough templates, which operates as guides regarding the way the program should operates. There is no high requirement for IT skills, and hence, every person may execute the program. The installation of the tool is well simplified. Google App Maker is better application for App development. It have some features which are really good i.e: - Drag-and-Drop Function - Deployment Logs - Built-In Tutorials - App Preview Cons Nothing! This software does what it promises and allows people who don't know what they are doing to make an application. Maybe it's since improved, but when we used it, there was a rather involved process to get the app onto the testing device (phone or tablet), and all in all I'm not fully convinced the young students got much more than entertainment value out of the experience. Google App Maker ensures apps of all nature are well made, and some maintenance done, hence, no problem. Google App helps us govern all the apps which we want, and the developer has facilitated all the process, ensuring that we obtain the required applications. There are very few cons: which I observed personally i.e: - Ir is only for small business not For medium business. - It is not free of cost platform.		Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!
