Microsoft released Windows Phone AppStudio Beta in 2013, which is a service that allows any person without programming skills to create applications, for Windows Phone, in just 4 steps: have an idea, add content, choose the style and use the application. In April 2014, a new version of this service was released alongside the beta version of Windows AppStudio, which in addition to the Windows Phone applications, allows the creation of Windows 8.1 applications (based in Universal Applications).
