The app that I wanted to create would have included a photo of a pufferfish and a button that read “Pufferfish Teeth”. When said app user would click the button “Pufferfish App” then the picture would change to a close up of pufferfish teeth (which are actually really funny to look at). I had no problem uploading the two different photos on two different screens. I also had no trouble inserting the button. However, when it came to putting together the puzzle pieces that would direct the app to change screens when the bottom would be pressed was challenging.
As you can see in the photo attached, I could not figure out how to insert the proper “screen name” and start value. Everything in app inventor seemed to be working properly and I was not having any technical difficulties. However, I do believe that the short falls were due to user error.
Overall, I when I decided I did not have the time nor the skills to create the app I wanted to create I decided to try to export the app. Exporting the app went very smoothly. I simply dragged the downloaded version of my app onto my computers emulator. See picture attached:
The app instantly appeared in the emulator’s apps. See photo attached:
In conclusion, I would have liked to get my app working properly, but in time I soon think I might be able to.
