The no. 1 Absolutely Amazing Application on Google Play Store for Making Apps

Sketchware: CREATE YOUR OWN APPS has been amazing to use and I think will set the standard for all other apps like it in the future.

Customer service is amazing and I had a seven to eight email conversation with the support team as they resolved an issue I had.

Their latest update has added the following functionalities:
* Shareable Link (Deep Link) for Shared Projects
* Saving Tutorial as New Project
* Gyroscope and Firebase Auth Component
* Font Manager
* setTypeface, getLocationX, getLocationY, smoothScrollToPosition blocks
* Save Project function moved to the editor
* onResume, onPause, and onDestory events
* Updated Firebase Setup Guide

I quote the following from their page on Google Play Store:
Create your own Android apps using block language, directly on your device!
Sketchware is like WordPress for apps.

Main Features:
- Step-by-step tutorials you can follow to learn different programming concepts
- Block programming similar to Scratch from MIT
- Visual Drag & Drop Integrated development environment (IDE)
- Automatically translated source code (Java and XML)
- Compile and build install files on your phone (APK file)
- Fully Compatible with Androd Studio
 
Sketchware is a Scratch-like block programming based integrated development environment (IDE) for developing mobile Android apps.

It's okay if you do not know anything about developing Android apps. Sketchware is an IDE that uses block language like Scratch, an innovative programming language invented by MIT that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-drop building blocks.

Scratch is such a simple language, even little children can learn to develop. Sketchware translates Scratch into Java and XML source codes, so there is no limit on what you can develop.

Sketchware provides tutorials you can follow to become an expert at Scratch block programming and Android app development. Each example contains programming concepts you can understand by completing the project.

Visually design and develop apps, then simply run your app with a single click to build and install directly on your Android device. The projects are fully compatible with Android Studio, an IDE used on a PC, so you can export your finished project and continue working on Android Studio, or your favorite editor. Also, if you create an account, you can also share your project to our server, where we safely store for you.

Required Permissions:

- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: This permission is required to save and run projects.

- GET_ACCOUNTS : This permission is required to login with Google Account.

Disclaimer: This app was developed independently of the MIT Scratch Team, which produces the Scratch programming language and online community. The Scratch name and Scratch cat are trademarks of MIT.

This post will be added to in the future and I couldn't recommend it more highly.
In the future I hope to post tutorials on  YouTube based on my own experience using this app.

So long,
