How do I learn to create apps?

I just find some apps need a better upgrade and if only I knew how to make some of them better I would. Does it require software engineering training?
Aren't apps like the new "record business" where apps are actually selling like hotcakes compared to CDs? I think it's a good business to get into, right?

Yes it would require learning programming languages to create mobile apps. Searching netbeans IDE on google is a good start the program is free an it has free training videos.

If you want to learn to make an app you first need to decide if you want to make one for Android or iPhone. iPhone apps are predominately written in Objective-C while Android usually is Java, but there is an NDK available.
I don't know much about iPhone development but for Android you should start with the Android SDK which has everything you need to get started. And you will need highschool/college level algebra. It's pretty easy and very fun.

wouldn't doing for both iphone and droid be a good idea? That would mean learning both sides then. I've never owned an iphone. Also, someone I know uses a windows phone and had told me it isn't very app dominated whereas a droid and iphone are.

Windows phones have very little market presence which is why there are very few apps available for it. iPhone requires that you develop on a Mac OS device. But I know a few people personally that use their hackintosh to develop for Mac OS and friends. I believe that you need to pay a fee to Apple before you can grace their platform with your creations.

For iPhone: Get a Mac, install Xcode, and build one. For Android: Install Android Developer Kit, and build one.
You have to take the initiative.
