Benefits of creating apps from Google Sheets
Google Sheets is quite a resourceful application that is strong in its functionality and is known for the excellent user experience and ease of use. However, there is definite merit in creating apps from Google Sheets for everyone involved whether it is the company, the employees, or even the clients. Let’s list out all the benefits.
- App UI is more efficient
- Better filtering
- Layered access
- Consistent point of entry
- Apps are more mobile friendly
- Helps teams collaborate seamlessly
The user interface in mobile apps is more efficient. This means any kind of data entry and display becomes a lot easier and quicker. This is probably the reason why 10% of people (mobile users in US) check their phones once every four minutes.
Data that is simply dumped on a spreadsheet is difficult to handle and make sense of. When you convert the sheet into an app, all this data can be tailored or filtered according to different users and audience types.
Using a mobile app, you can provide layered access to your employees or any other stakeholders. This way you can decide and control who can view or edit any sensitive data or confidential reports.
When you convert your Google Sheets into an app, you streamline access to the sheets by providing a consistent point of entry.
By 2022 annual mobile app downloads are projected to reach 258 billion. That’s a 45 percent increase from 178 billion downloads in 2017.Google Sheets is great when you are using it on a desktop or a laptop, but when you are on the go, you will be using a mobile to access, audit, and edit the sheets. A mobile app is a clear winner here!
Mobile apps offer the ability to collaborate with great ease. This means all parties involved can easily work on it together from any location, even when they are on the field
