i + DEVELOPING AN APP
All apps are developed by using an app development tool. An app development tool can be a
standalone software or a web app. There are different types of free or paid app development
tools available on the market. One of the free and most popular app development tools is
AppyPie. Some other popular app development tools are MIT App Inventor, Mobile Roadie,
Appery, and AppMachine. They help us to develop an app. While developing an app, we should
keep the following 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.
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 smartphones.
The operation of App Inventor is similar to the Scratch programming language in which we drag
and drop blocks to make 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 combine blocks to execute an application.
