App making questions....please help! :) | Help | Forum

Hello, I'm looking for a pretty good preferably free or cheap iPhone/iPad app maker. I'm wanting to make "pokemon pokedex LIKE APP" not Pokemon or any other copyrighted material. I have my own sprites ive made for me and want to make a DEX for them as a reference. Any ideas please help me thanks!

Now as for developing apps I have questions:

1.do I have to submit to apple to have to able able to be put and used onto my iPhone?

2.am I able to just make the app available to me for mmyself?

3.can you recommend good app making websites? I am experimenting with one now. Preferably free but not a must.
