Nov. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Google App Inventor is an application provided by Google that allows anyone to create applications for Andriod OS. It uses a graphical interface that allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on the Android system, which runs on many mobile devices.

Google App Inventor is a visual language, where readers can simply drag and drop blocks (graphic elements representing blocks of code) in various combinations to give them applications that run on their phones or other Android-based devices.
