Appy Pie is a No-code development platform released for Android, iOS, Fire OS, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry platforms that allows its users to create and monetize different types of mobile apps.[2][3] It also features its own marketplace to show off apps created through it.[4][5] Appy Pie launched out of beta version of its WYSIWYG mobile app creation service on 14 April 2015. It claims to be designed to require no coding skill to use.
Overview[edit]
Appy Pie is a program that allows people to create and monetize apps. According to its creators, the Game Builder platform was designed to be easily accessible to people without experience.[6] It is available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Fire OS platforms.[7]
In May, the app maker launched a reseller program for Appy Pie that allows people to build white-label apps.[8] The app was later given support for more kinds of applications, including image sharing, event platform, and social networking.[9][10]
In February 2017, Appy Pie added augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality features. These features include image recognition and tracking as well as a panoramic and 360 video viewer.[11] This feature has been used for various functions, such as nutritional information for restaurants, Bible passages at churches, and house previews by realtors.[12]
In July 2017, Appy Pie added “App Sheets,” a feature which allows users to “link all of their Google Spreadsheets and Forms into an app to modify in real-time.[13]
Appy Pie Connect was announced in July 2018. The purpose of the app is to help small and midsize business owners operate business-related apps they use.[14] In August 2018, the Appy Pie Website Builder was announced, which allows users to create websites through it.[15] In June 2019, a chatbot builder was added as a function to Appy Pie.[16] It also added other forms of software, including live chat software, a color wheel tool to allow users to improve the quality of images, help desk software, and others.[17][18][19] It also has provided tools intended to improve experience, such as their Knowledge Base tool and an improved website builder. This improved website builder, dubbed the No-code Application Development Platform Software, provides drag-and-drop tools that seek to enable businesses to design and integrate mobile and web applications quickly without use of code.[20]
History[edit]
Appy Pie was founded by Abhinav Girdhar.[21] He had the app made due to requests from clients for low-cost application development.[22] As of August 2017, the company has three offices in Virginia, London, and New Delhi, as well as approximately 235 employees.[23] In August 2017, a new rule on iTunes appeared to ban no-code apps from the storefront. Girdhar argued that this would hurt small businesses’ ability to make apps.[24]
Reception[edit]
A 2014 Los Angeles Times article quotes competitor Alexandra Keating as saying that Appy Pie and other similar mobile apps "lacked elegance."[25] It was selected by India Times as an example of a program that helps you make your own apps.[26]
In an article for the "Los Angeles Times" by Paresh Dave, the founder of the app-maker program DWNLD (a competing app-maker product) noted that the over-simplicity of tools such as Appy Pie drove her to create the app.[27] According to David Ramei of ADT Mag, Research firm “Clutch” ranked Appy Pie among the top “DIY app coding tools.” Ramei later noted that the name Appy Pie “may not garner much respect in the traditional development community … [it is] making headway in the enterprise.”[28] In a ranking of the best app-making apps, Appy Pie was a runner-up. Author Sara Angeles noted its connectivity functions and business applications.[29] Business.com staff gave it a positive review, praising it for its clean interface and ease of use.[30]
