                              Developing an App                       App Inventor
                                Creating a Talking App                Block Editor



                 There are many open source app development softwares available. They help us to develop an

                 app. While developing an app we should keep some points in mind:
                     The idea of developing an app should be unique.

                     The app we are going to develop should contain all the relevant features.

                     The app should be user friendly.
                     DEVELOPING AN APP


                 Let us create a mobile app with the help of a freeware software provided by Google called
                 App Inventor. With the help of App Inventor, we can create apps.

                     APP INVENTOR


                 App Inventor  is  a free app development tool, provided  by  Google. With the help of App
                 Inventor, we can create apps for smart phones. The working of App Inventor is similar to Scratch
                 programming language in which we drag and drop blocks for making an app. App Inventor has

                 two basic views:

                 a.  The Design View: This view contains all the components required to design an application.

                 b.   The Block Editor View: This view is the place where we do programming and add commands
                    by joining blocks to execute an application.

                 For setting up the App Inventor, we should have a Gmail account.
