Developing useful apps has never been an easy task. Although modern mobile phones/tablets have more and more computation power, it is still not possible to treat them as real computers. Hence, many apps rely on external components to provide services. However, this complicates the development of apps. Unlike students in the computer science department, information management students do not have equally solid programming background. App development related courses have a more rigid learning curve for them. In this paper, APPRush, a platform for developing usable apps and for learning app design skills, is proposed. Both students and ordinary app developers can benefit from the resulting platform.
