Google will be launching a new tool that gives anyone - and not just the programmers and coders - the power to create apps for Android phones.

The ‘Google App Inventor’ lets users create apps “visually” and through a series of “blocks”, a process which the technology company claims requires “NO programming knowledge”.

This all sounds good, but early demos of the tool still look a tad too daunting to the average consumer.

However, The New York Times reports that Google has been testing the app inventor out in groups that include sixth graders, whom the company claims are able to develop their own apps. Not that these apps are any good, of course.
