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 an easy-to-use API which simplifies and protects you from all the issues which are caused by differences in hardware and Android versions across the multitude of phones and tablets available.
DroidScript uses Android's built-in Chrome V8 JavaScript engine which is constantly updated and improved by Google and keeps up-to-date with modern internet standards.
For larger projects, we highly 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 APK's directly on your device in a matter seconds!
You can choose to make Native apps or HTML5 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.

User reviews
Dude love this app! Im a java script pro and i now can build my own apps. how cool is that! i can create buttons,toggles,spinners etc! fyi (alert ("You're the best devs ever"));
Good.
Suggestion: Could you bundle all the additional plug-ins, you've got available here in Play Store, into a single app containing all of them into a list, rather than having to download multiple apps and opening every single one of them? (~Just suggesting)
Nice
