Build Your own Android Apps!

App Inventor lets people of all backgrounds, from Middle School students to professional programmers, easily design and build their own Android Apps. Using a Web Browser App Inventor programmers can both design their apps and watch them evolve in real-time with our unique "incremental development" feature. Once their application is finished they can easily package it as a native Android application that they can use, share with friends and put in the Google Play Store
