Creating Basic apps for free

HI does anyone have any suggestions on software that I can run on a windows PC to create an IPAD app.
A really basic one at that.


All I want is for a macro type thing to be connected to a button (which has a symbol for photos) which has a list of keywords. Upon pressing this button I want it to enter one keyword at a time into google images and then press search. Each time you press the button it enters a new keyword into google images and presses enter.
(this is for a child)


Can anyone help? Many many thanks.

 

It has not been updated in quite a while, but here is the sticky thread at the top of the Developer forum. It lists some PC developer tools.

But as MikeTooLz points out, they won't get you around the need to have a $99 developer account.

The only free way to add an app to the iPad would be to create a web app. I'm not sure what PC tools are available for that.

 

Apple backed off on that stance a few months after the initial hullabaloo.

 

Well, here's a non-macro approach. Safari has a google search window over on the right at the top of the screen. It keeps a record of prior searches. You could just do a search of all the keywords you want and they will be there in the Search window once your kid click there. Then they just select the search word they want and the results pop up in Google. Now, once the google search comes back, the kid would need to click iimages. So its a two step process. And it assumes they have their own ipad (that nobody else searches with).
