PencilCase - iPhone and iPad App Maker - Tech Product Review

Tech Product Review

PencilCase by Robots and Pencils is an app maker simple enough for the non-developer but also robust and unique enough for you to build an app that'll actually stand out.  The UI is similar to keynote or powerpoint and it lets you drag and drop content to a screen while adding animation.

You can employ touch and interactivity - like pinches and swipes and gestures.  But what I love is you can add physics to content - like gravity, wine, magnets, and water.  So if you were to throw a dozen boxes onto the screen for whatever reason, you could add wind in a particular direction and an element of gravity, then see how the objects react.  And once you’ve created your app model, you can publish it, test it out, or switch to JavaScript and get into the nuts and bolts.

Now if you want to learn more or you’re interested in pre-ordering PencilCase, just head to pencilcase.io today.
