App Inventor is a Do-It-Yourself App Builder that lets anyone build apps. You can even create apps that access web data– Amazon book information, RSS feeds, stock information, weather information, you name it.

How it Works
App Inventor provides a component, TinyWebDB, which is the gateway from app to web. You can set its ServiceURL property to any App-Inventor-compliant API and easily bring in data to your app.
There are only a few such APIs in existence, as App Inventor is a new tool. But its easy to create new AI-Compliant-APIs, and this site shows you how.
