Have you ever wanted to create an application for your Android mobile phone, but don't have any programming experience? That's okay, because no experience is needed! With App Inventor, just drag-and-drop the programming blocks together like a puzzle to make the user interface and program. It's that easy. You can make apps that tell your fortune, let you smash a mole,and create a quiz. Never wonder again if there’s an app for that, because you’ll be able to create your own!
