Mag + has announced the release of its new Semble drag and drop app creator which is natively optimized for iOS and Android. Offered as a desktop Mac application, the platform offers drag-and-drop functionality that is similar to the process that many people are used to using for online presentations.
Users can custom build their own apps or choose ready-made application templates and skins.
