Hi All,

I’m one of the creators of Thunkable. We created Thunkable X to enable anyone to build native mobile apps for both Android and iOS.

Thunkable X is a DIY cross-platform app builder, where anyone can easily design beautiful apps, drag & drop powerful functionality and then upload their apps to the Google Play Store and App Store.

Thunkable grew out of our work at MIT and Google on an open source Android app creating project called MIT App Inventor, and we were in the W2016 batch of YC.

There are two parts to the tool:

Designer: Allows you to create an app UI by adding different UI components to your screen, such as buttons, TextBoxes, GoogleMaps, etc. It also allows you to add non-visible components to your apps, such as SMS receivers or NFC sensors.

Blocks: Thunkable has a blocks-based programming language that makes it easy for anyone programmers to use, yet robust enough to build unique, beautiful and powerful apps (you can make functions, variables, callbacks, etc.).

You can also test your apps in real-time on your personal mobile devices with the Thunkable Live app, which is available for Android and iOS.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on how to make it better, and what things we don’t yet support that you’d like to see.

Thanks, Arun
