About this app

Easily write apps for your Phone, Tablet or Chromebook using industry standard JavaScript and Python. Edit your code using our browser based WiFi editor, or just edit code directly on your device using the built-in code editor. Now you can write apps anywhere!

Using this app is a great way to learn JavaScript and Python, which are now the most popular computer languages on the planet! It contains lots of clear and simple examples and comes with 'active' documentation and a large and friendly community who are ready to help.

DroidScript makes coding 10x faster and easier than using the standard Android API because we have done all the hard work for you and wrapped it up in our simplified API. This accelerates your development process and protects you from all the issues caused by differences in hardware and Android versions.

DroidScript uses Android's built-in Chrome V8 engine which is constantly updated and improved by Google and keeps up-to-date with modern internet standards.

For larger projects, we recommend using the built-in browser based IDE (editor). It connects via WiFi to your device allowing wire free coding from Windows, Linux or Mac PCs and it makes coding a breeze!

If you want to get serious about coding and release your apps on to Google Play then you can even build APKs and AABs directly on your device in a matter seconds!

You can choose to make Native apps, HTML apps, NodeJS apps or make Hybrid Apps using the built-in WebView control. Whichever way you choose, you can make use use of all the power of the modern Chrome browser engine in every type of app.

It's not just for beginners! Many professionals are using DroidScript all over the world and we can provide an 'enhanced support service' to help you build your commercial application. (Please contact support@droidscript.org for more info)
