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 [email protected] for more info)

I would give a 5 star because it's still one of the best in its class. But It unfortunately didn't meet my taste. The JS is a little outdated. It's very usable with functional programming style. But I usually use OOP which it doesn't fully supported (probably because of the JS version or IDE). Always comes with a bug when I instantiate the object/class 2 or more times. Even for a single instance I need to adjust some line to compensate for some inconsistency with my other ide.

this app is not safe. check the permissions. it breaks and crashes package installer if you try to uninstall it.... and it can record stuff, change phone settings, etc, without your knowledge. 100 percent not safe.

This application is malware, It has many permissions that shouldn't be needed for an app like this, including it being able to change your wallpaper and other unnecessary permissions, how do i know this? I ran a scan through an advanced app that detects whether the apps you have are actively giving your phone vulnerabilities, which the app scanned this, and came out with a lot of detections. Why would this app do this? To make your phone vulnerable enough for future attacks, stay safe!

this is a pretty good app, but I am disappointed that I can only edit one file at a time, and worst yet, I have to exit the app and reopen it in order to be able to edit a different file. In addition, I am not sure about others, but this makes me feel like you are intimidating me to purchasing a monthly subscription, and that's not a way for your customers to trust you. I think you to rethink this in a different way. For example, no ads premium plan, and multi-file editing a one time in-app fee.

DroidScript as it stands is missing essential programming constructs, such as proper error handling which is related to the clunky and slow native API bridge. However, if you stick to mostly integration of webviews and extensions you can create some pretty serious apps. Maybe 3.0 will be better? 🤞 Update: It's not clear how(hybrid) DroidScript API code can be ported to a web page to run in a browser. Also, webviews which ARE browser code can benefit from multiprocessing. TRY again.
