Adobe RoboHelp: Creating a Mobile App

RoboHelp 2015 introduces a new output: mobile apps. With this output, you create Android and iOS applications without any coding and without installing additional software. Best of all, creating apps is completely free. Only if you want to publish your app on the Apple App Store do you need a paid Apple developer account.

In this tutorial I will show you how to create an app that you can install on your Android Device.
