MobiFlex App Studio is an online portal for creating mobile apps using drag-and-drop wizards. The entire design of an application is done without coding. It is the first mobile app creation service accessible through Google Apps Marketplace. MobiFlex App Studio was developed by MobiFlex, Inc. and introduced in November 2010. The platform supports both iPhone- and Android-based mobile applications. Support for developing iPad-based tablet apps, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and other mobile devices is on the MobiFlex roadmap for 2011.

MobiFlex App Studio enables the user to visually design a native mobile application by dragging a functional field onto the smartphone canvas. Any number of pages can be created this way. Fields with actions such as buttons and tables can be mapped to any one of a number of functions. Some of these functions enable the application to access backend data across the Internet in a Google Docs spreadsheet, SQL database or Web Service. Once the design is complete, it can be downloaded to the smartphone or tablet in seconds and begin to run as a complete application. After provisioning of the application, making changes can be done in minutes and automatically updated to all users.

With totally visual design and quick test and provisioning, the MobiFlex App Studio creates a new category of mobile app creation platforms. With such a platform, businesses can routinely create new mobile apps in hours to days and publish them immediately. Then, they can upgrade and update the apps rapidly at no extra cost. This adds a whole new dimension for businesses to engage their employees and customers with mobile apps – interactively, personally and socially.
