Description
Easily write apps for your Phone, Tablet or Chromebook using industry standard JavaScript and Python. Edit your code using our browser based WiFi editor, or just edit code directly on your device using the built-in code editor. Now you can write apps anywhere!
Using this app is a great way to learn JavaScript and Python, which are now the most popular computer languages on the planet! It contains lots of clear and simple examples and comes with 'active' documentation and a large and friendly community who are ready to help.
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 our simplified API. This accelerates your development process and protects you from all the issues caused by differences in hardware and Android versions.

For larger projects, we 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 APKs and AABs directly on your device in a matter seconds!

Comments on DroidScript: JS and Python IDE for Android
★★★★★Sibusiso Gama· Nov 29, 2024
Awesome ide, been using it for years now with no issues, I'm thinking of paying for subscription
★★★★☆Kurt Harry Acquiat· Jan 19, 2025
It's pretty much a great app for prototyping and writing web code on the go. One problem for me, though, is how clunky it feels when dealing with the editor since I've been spoiled with advanced ones (Ace and Sora) and would recommend for an improvement if possible :)
★★★★★Wongan· Dec 29, 2025
Building a professional-grade app often feels like it requires a massive PC setup and complex software, but here is the big reveal:Droid Script is a powerhouse hidden in plain sight. While it looks like a simple tool for beginners, It’s a common misconception that Droid Script is just for small hobby projects. It makes simple apps incredibly fast to build, its Java Plugin SDK is the "secret weapon" that allows you to scale up to professional-grade applications + its constants updates(👍 -> Devs)
★★★★☆Stephen· Nov 11, 2024
I have been paying for premium, How can I tell if the premium features work ?
★★★★★Mr Karthick· Mar 18, 2025
I've enjoyed using this app for many years, and I'd like to create a simple offline APK using HTML to have fun with my friends despite not knowing how to program
★☆☆☆☆Jack Burnell· Jul 5, 2024
This is the crappiest junk I've seen in my 45 years of programming. The help is simplistic and when you look up support the answer is always "buy premium, and it will work". Run some code, end it, it jumps back to the opening screen, not the editor. Forget a}? Tells you there's an error at line n.then jumps to the welcome screen. . Want to read or write a file to a publicly accessible folder like DCIM? Won't do it. All files go in /Android/data/... where unless rooted, you can't use

This is not worth for subscription You just create an app and nothing To distribute you have no way only to share apk manually to someone. This app is not for Uploading your app on play store! Right. Because when you create an app using Droid script And go to upload on Play store You will get losts warning. Droid script should team continuously updated it. I don't see any apps even, which is made with DS and still is on Play store. Because after uploading your app will remove. You can't upload.
