Clickteam

Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Developer is a decent product that I had the unfortunate experience of helping my friend debug his wannabe app program. Yes you can somewhat create apps using this and it is similar to using adobe programs such as flash, adobe air, flex, and cold fusion. I think if you are going to spend the time learning a program, go with adobe's programs to build your ios and android apps. This is much cheaper than adobe programs but from what I have seen you are better off with the much more expensive adobe programs. If you just want to dabble in app creation then clickteam's Fusion 2.5 is probably a perfect starting point as their program is only $99 as compared to adobe's offering which will cost thousands.
