Can I use Corona for making non-game apps?

Hi @1eimer,

Yes, the two screenshots (closed book and open book) were done with Fireworks. But most of the UI was done with Widget Candy…which is great once you get the hang of it!!

Thanks so much @gibsonpa!

I also take a look on the widget candy website, but i wasn’t sure if it will works nice and fast on both ios and android.
Do you had any drawbacks in using this module?

Background: Iam also at a stage to start an educational app, mostly with tables, tab groups filled by JSONs. I first want to go with titanium (Oops), but i like corona/lua more. But since it lacks of realy good ui controls, i gave up.

Yes, you certainly can do business and non game apps with Corona SDK. In fact half of my apps alive in the app store are non-game apps:

Look at what I did with these apps:

Speedy Sender – sends templated SMS messages to people.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speedy-sender/id492006277?mt=8
Uses picker wheel, tableView, tabBar and text input, widget buttons.

tACKY – RSS feed reader and podCast player
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-animals-can-kill-you/id455118802?mt=8
Uses tabBar, tableView, backgrounding audio, webViews etc. I sell the template for this app, btw.

Yosemite National Park Photo Gallery – Photo Gallery type app

Not your standard business app with widgets, but clearly **not a game**
