1. Webviwer App (Fayez Ahmed)

2. Review of Thunkable:

Thunkable is an application used to create apps for IOS and Android devices. Over the last week I spent my time on this application working through tutorials and creating several test applications. I learned about different components and blocks and how they can be used. The basic tutorials were easy to complete as the tutorials were up to date. The intermediate tutorials were much more difficult to complete as the version used in those tutorials was different from the version I was using. Some of the components had different names such as in the "Photo Sharing" tutorial, the database components had different names. For other tutorials such as the "Mini Golf", "Wack A Thunkable", "Auto-Text Message", and "Google Maps Location" apps, components were missing. In these tutorials the components "ball", "canvas", "texting", "accelerometer" were all missing from Thunkable. Overall I believe that using Thunkable was a good experience as it shows how different components and blocks are used to perform the functions of apps. The resources used to learn how to use Thunkable just lacked new and up to date information.
