Reception
A 2014 Los Angeles Times article quotes competitor Alexandra Keating as saying that Appy Pie and other similar mobile apps "lacked elegance." It was selected by India Times as an example of a program that helps you make your own apps.
Johna Revesencio for "The Huffington Post" recommended Appy Pie for people who lack coding skills and want to develop an app. Businessman AJ Agrawal named Appy Pie his favourite non-technical software tool of 2015. Macworld writer Sarah Jacobsson Purewal included Appy Pie in an article that covered "DIY" app-creation tools. She noted that it was simple and easy-to-use for novices. She added however that its simplicity may lead to less creative and more limited design concepts. GamesBeat editor Jeff Grubb noted that while Appy Pie's Game Builder tool was more complex than Code.org's game that teaches people how to code a Flappy Bird clone, the end result is about the same. In an article for the "Los Angeles Times" by Paresh Dave, the founder of the app-maker program DWNLD (a competing app-maker product) noted that the over-simplicity of tools such as Appy Pie drove her to create the app. Writer Paula Mooney critiqued the app for advertising that its game-maker function is free, but only for very limited functions. According to David Ramei ofADT Mag, Research firm "Clutch" ranked Appy Pie among the top "DIY app coding tools." Ramei later noted that the name Appy Pie "may not garner much respect in the traditional development community ... [it is] making headway in the enterprise." In a ranking of the best app-making apps, Appy Pie was a runner-up. Author Sara Angeles noted its connectivity functions and business applications.
