App Inventor + Kodular Planned Collaboration

Frequently Asked Questions

Will all Kodular Creator features be migrated to App Inventor?

The goal is to migrate most of the things to App Inventor. In terms of design and usability, we will migrate everything according to the feedback received.
Components like Monetization ones will not be migrated natively (avoiding hard-branded stuff in the open source platform), but you will be able to use them from the App Inventor platform.

Can I move my projects from Kodular Creator to App Inventor?

Yes! That’s the ultimate goal of this collaboration. All your Kodular Creator projects will be compatible with App Inventor.

Will App Inventor introduce a Premium plan?

No, App Inventor will be free and open source. Kodular Creator features migrated to App Inventor will keep this philosophy.

I’ve paid for Premium, but I want to use the free alternative at App Inventor. What can I do?

Once all Kodular Creator functionality has been migrated, we will provide a way to cancel and get a refund for the non-used time in your subscription.

What will happen to Kodular Creator?

Once you can migrate your projects to App Inventor, it will be deprecated in 3 phases:

  1. Kodular Creator will still operate normally for a certain period of time.
  2. Later, Kodular Creator will transition to a read-only mode, where you will be able to view and edit your projects, but not build them.
  3. Finally, Kodular Creator will be shut down permanently. You will see a new screen where you can either retrieve the AIA files or migrate them to App Inventor.

What if I still want to use Kodular Creator?

Well, all the features will be available in App Inventor, so there will be no need to stay at Kodular Creator. Also, some new features that are on the roadmap will be implemented in App Inventor only.
However, you will be able to get a Kodular Creator Offline version, containing a snapshot of the last working version. You will be able to edit and build your projects there, but keep in mind that it will not receive updates so eventually you may be interested in migrating to App Inventor.

Will you stop working on Kodular Creator during these months?

No. Kodular Creator will keep receiving updates during this period so that apps and components are still functional and work in Android.
