Now, I feel like I need to put a little disclaimer before we go any further I don’t hate you, Appy Pie. I originally intended this to be a fairly benign chapter of our How to Build a Mobile App: The Ultimate Guide, detailing the best options to use and a short how-to guide for the appreneur who does not have the funding to hire an app developer but almost as soon as I started testing the user experience of Appy Pie, I knew that wasn’t going to happen.īecause skipping (for now – I’m going to get to these later) the un-organized creation system, limited options, and inescapable cookie-cutter feel – it’s not you making your app. I have come to form this opinion because I tried to make an app using Appy Pie. But – and this is my honest opinion – I think it would be easier to design an app in Sketch, prototype it in Invision, teach yourself Swift, and build in Xcode, than it would be to create a successful app using a service like Appy Pie.
It makes sense that a service like Appy Pie would be tempting for any appreneur with an eye for design and a small budget – or maybe a CTO in the same situation. There’s nothing like coming up with an idea and executing it from inception to completion, all on your own.įor the self-driven individual, an app WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor sounds like a dream – they can work pretty well for websites, so why not apps? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to make it on your own anyway?
There’s something to be said about making something yourself, whether it be a meal or a piece of art.
