Great video. I'm sure someone has said this already... But you can now setup push notifications on bubble with the one signal plugin or any external api with the API Connector

This was extremely helpful! I just started an LLC called The Code Kitchen with the intention of moving into the no-code/low-code development space, and this was a vital piece of market research. I'm actually working on a cross-platform HQ app for web, ios, and Android to simultaneously demonstrate what I can do on the platform and process potential clients into my workload. I'm probably going to want push notifications about contact events specific to the app and not just in the form of email pings or something, so thanks for the warning about that potential headache. I recently went through it on a prototype build in Flutter Flow, and I'm not looking forward to diving into it on a new platform in invisible JS instead of visible Dart, but I suppose that's the sort of adventure you have to be down for if you want to get into this game. Thanks again dude! Liked and subscribed!

Thanks for this review! Do you have a video on how to step by step turn my website to App for IOS using Appgyver?

[carolineb]

Great video! I’m am really new to all of this so it can be overwhelming to figure out what to use. Really insightful video, so thank you!

[MK-jnuu]

Gawd thank you for saving me hours in the google rabbit hole

[Gavin-Mac]

Two big negatives - they have a lot of bugs in their data logic and they do not disclose when they’re having issues on their status pages.

Hello, I built cashback website using wordpress CMS, can we create cashback application using appgyver without having any issues?

[estatesdatabaseclub]

great video, do you think i can build a restaurant food delivery with payment gateway on Appgyver ?

[Shriekreborn]

This didn't age well. Staff is MIA, doesn't answer difficult questions, and the entire platform feels like it's on part-time/life support staff.

[mikep]

Thanks man this helps. Its still overwhelming but this definitely helps

[fernandotiradoserna]

is it possible to integrate advertising into appgyver?

[jayrcop]

What is written on your cap? I am from South Africa as you can guess...

[daniellemclean]

Can a startup patent an algorithm built in appgyver?

[readycheeseburger]

I would like to use AppGyver to do a scoring app, say we select a few criteria and the app would then be able to compute the score, think of it like an excel behind. Would you know what backend I should be using?

Hi, do you think it is possible to create a barber schedule app where people just log in, choose one of our shops, the barber and then they see the available hours and chose theirs, also different times for different services. Is it asking too much? THANK YOU

[tip]

Great video! Very informative. I will be starting my app building journey this week 🙌🏽

[JD-dsor]

I am looking for a native app that will work offline. It sounds like appgyver will do this. Do you know if bubble will as well?

[kaushikbhattacharya]

Hi William, I'm struggling about 2 aspects of Appgyver - 1. Creating dev-test-prod environments, 2. Control over backing up specific versions. Would appreciate if you can suggest some workarounds.

[browneye]

Hi, is AppGyver able to build a really functional App like Uber which can be deployed in real life, which also encompasses Backend Data Storage, API, Admin Dashboard, Payment System, etc., just like what Uber or Grab can do

Really great video and I think the format of you talking on-screen is so informative and thorough and engaging. SAP was smart to buy this platform, and this definitely has incredible flexibility and seems to require more wiring of things vs. starting with a template out of the box. My question is though - APPERY and IONIC… In the no code shootouts and videos, why is Appery barely ever mentioned or known even it seems? I have focused on Adalo, Appery and Appgyver - but which do you think is easiest to have customized unique components or layouts? E.g. I want a button dropped literally right here on-screen down to the pixel vs. tied to a grid …. Or I want a whole new type of way of visualizing different types of data together and invent something to go beyond a grid or table component…. Which of these platforms do you lean to?
