I started Sonadier to make drag-and-drop business apps easy, if that's what you're looking for. I don't know about widespread, but we do have a few thousand satisfied businesses using us. Here's a more developer-focused summary. The short version is that it's a form builder with built-in staff accounts and permissions that handles the database automatically and lets you make client- and server-side scripts for your logic.
A lot of application builders try to either replace programming with an overly-complex editor, or fuse programming with auto-generated code. We've gone the opposite direction, and built a simple editor with a robust scripting API for dealing with database rows as objects. If it sounds interesting, send me a PM and I'm happy to help you get started.
Sonadier: Build custom online database applications. Sonadier lets you build drag-and-drop database applications with built-in staff accounts, commenting, versioning, and more. We're an online alternative to passing around spreadsheets or hosting an Access database. You can import spreadsheet data, or PM me for help with custom migrations.
We have built-in multitenancy, and you can be a member of multiple business organizations using a single account. We also have a full client-side and server-side scripting API, so you can write custom validation scripts or stored procedures. Here's our developer-focused information page.
I'm one of the founders, and I can answer any questions here or through PM.
I have a site that might help, here's a link. It's web-based, not an app, but it comes with user authentication and permissions.
If you'd like to build something yourself, android is much easier than iDevices, which you have to develop for on a Mac. However, there's something called a Webview which is essentially a webpage embedded inside a thin app wrapper, so you can code using frontend languages you're familiar with.
I work for www.sonadier.com. It's a database builder which makes it easy to create customizable web-based forms for your business, and give your staff access.
I can help you set something up if you'd like.
