Pocket Code is an app that allows you to create, edit, execute and share programs in Catrobat within a very simple and accessible graphics programming environment. You'll also be able to modify any program designed by other users and share it with the rest. In fact, all the programs you upload can be downloaded by the rest of the users under an open-source license. This way, everyone can easily learn and share.
For anyone unfamiliar with Catrobat, it's a free and open-source graphics programming language whose first version was released in 2010. Its main objective has always been to provide tools for children to create their own programs, games, and animations, using virtually any type of smartphone or device with an Android operating system.
The graphics programming language used by Catrobat is very similar to the one found in Scratch, with the main difference being that when using Catrobat, you don't need a computer - all you need is an Android device. Another interesting point is that some aspects of the programming language are oriented mainly to young girls, with the aim of closing the gender gap that exists in some branches of technological studies.
Pocket Code is a useful app for anyone interested in creating programs using Catrobat, as it will provide you with all the necessary tools to create a project from scratch and share it with its huge community of users. Plus, the app offers a series of tutorials and aids that will take you by the hand and help you create your first project, something that many users will surely appreciate.
