Create apps on your phone, share them with other people! Create fun games and automate recurring tasks. Query the phone sensors and send web requests to the cloud. You compose programs by tapping on the screen.
NOTE: Your phone doesn't need a gyroscope to install or use this app. If your phone includes a gyroscope, the app uses it to enhance the precision of motion-related functions.

    An innovation. A lot of possibilities within the sphere of touchscreen development.

    Just great, even suited for very limited language skills, very logical, more connecrivity (wfs, importer api) would be the icing Well done

    Brilliant :-)

    This is a fantastic app. It makes developing quite complex apps simple (if you read the pdf and watch the videos). However, I would like to see support for panoramic screens so that Windows 8 style apps can be developed, rather than google style apps.

    Excellent. Smaller apps should spring forth from this.
  • by Eoghan 18/01/2013
    5 stars for the simple reason that within 5 minutes of installing the app I was able to make a DLNA script to play all media on my network to my phone or tv.
