1. Multi-Platform Support : The App Sheet platform allows anyone to build an app for iOS, Android, and the web without ever having to write a line of code.
2. Data Integration : App Sheet integrates with a number of different data sources. Our platform works seamlessly whether you’re using G-Suite, Office, SQL, or other leading data providers as your primary data source.
3. Data Visualization : Integrating and safely storing data is a great starting point, but properly leveraging that data for mobile is where the App Sheet shines. Choose to display your data through many different types of views including maps, charts, calendars, galleries, dashboards, tables, and more.
4. Data Capture : Capture data on-the-go with text, images, pre-filled checkboxes, QR codes, barcodes, signatures, GPS and more.
5. UI/UX Customization : Proper design should not only be beautiful but functional as well. Customize colors, icons, images, fonts, and other standard tools to make your app shine.
6. Automated Workflow : Customize your user experience with powerful actions to easily make data changes, navigate your app, send external messages and create workflow rules to automate processes and reporting based on key app triggers or preset times.

CONS OF APP-SHEET
- Rows cannot be scrolled in table view in the app. UI is limited but does all the work we need to do
- It would be ideal to gather how-to questions from users to create step by step chronological routes to reach these results.
- It asks for authentication every time and does not open automatically in Android.
- Entering a lot of data is not an easy task with the app so we have to use Google Sheets to enter data manually
- Unique Key is a bit problematic when we have to edit Google Sheets directly.
- The best app to prototype a startup app with real data.
- Use-friendly in nature.
- Easily deployable apps.
- Less time is taken to build a basic application which would have taken a lot of time if we would have coded it from scratch with the help of programming languages.
- App work can be saved within its environment to edit it in the future.
- Has the provision to add map features inside the application based on the data that we have entered in our Google sheet and also has the provision to add images based on the links that we have attached in our sheet.
- No prior coding knowledge required and can be used by anybody.
- Cross-platform deployment feature present in the application.
CONS OF GLIDE
- There are times when the app doesn't update immediately but minor issue.
- The Glide apps free version lacks multiple functionalities and therefore one will have to purchase the paid version.
- Not good for building high-end applications that will contain multi-functionality options.
- Widgets themes, UI themes, and orientation are limited.
- Hangs a little while opening the same and using the features.
- The free version comes with a tag made by Glide which is a bad thing if we want to show it to some client.
- Glide does not provide a drag.
