Google was thoughtful enough to provide some alternatives to customers affected by App Maker’s deletion. “I'm really saddened by this shut down, for the continued reputation damage that's being done, because it's my baby (and you don't often get to create an entirely new public product at Google), and because I still believe that the world needs more and better tools that allow non- and casual programmers to build software to solve their own problems.” As Google shared in their blog post, AppSheet would give customers much more freedom in creating apps on the scale of Android, Maps, and Google Analytics.Īt the same time, one of App Maker’s creators lamented the shut-down on Hacker News: That is why they announced in January 2020 that the service would be discontinued on January 19, 2021.Īnother reason for the decision might have been Google purchasing the no-code app development platform AppSheet shortly before the announcement. However, it seems Google wasn't happy with its overall usage rate.
App Maker first started in 2016 as part of an Early Adopter Program and became available for all G Suite customers in 2018.
