make a smartphone app

[caver456]

Turning this into a smartphone app would really speed up delivery of service to our "customers". We could get some confidence about where we are headed without having to open up a laptop. This is probably the highest priority feature request.

This issue is pretty open-ended. The current platform is PyQt, but the app platform could be whatever works. I know nothing about app development, but did find 'kivy' as a possible way to go from pyqt to smartphone without too much pain.

Requirements:

• free
• installable by smartphone users anywhere (Google App Store? This question probably tells you how clueless I am here)
• updatable by a programmer that knows python but has no clue about smartphone development

There are probably other requirements I am forgetting; let's talk before you get too far down the road.

I'm currently fooling around with MIT App Inventor, which lets you create Android apps using a graphical block language. Not very flexible, but good for quick prototyping of the app, and in theory could actually do the entire thing (convert text into possible representations, send markers to SARSoft web server).
