i did. a simple app with a database backend to store user login, etc.
imo appinventor @ MIT is the easiest way to get started because it gives you access to all your phone's features (accelerometer, gps, camera, etc.) and you can get a feel for how you have to code them to work with your app.
you can even pay $25 to google and get it added to the play store.
most apps these days i believe are built using java but tahts a steep learning curve.

Assuming you have a computer science background, you shouldn't have much issue. Android is basically Java

I don't need any commerce ability or anything like that.
Just something with pertinent information for a 6000 employee healthcare org
Basic Codes
Emergency contacts
Haz material info
random policies, etc
Nothing complicated at all. (at least for someone that knows WTH they're doing anyway)

app inventor if its android only. easy breezy.
if it has to be cross platform then i'm not sure how you're going to do it without 'learning to code'

you'll need to get it into the app store (apple) or play store unless all of your 6,000 employees have 'allow untrusted sources' enabled on their phone to downlaod non-app-store apps.

You don't need an app for that. You need a website with a good mobile-friendly view.

Or a website and a app showing web-views if you really want an app.
Kind of scary, you have a 6000 employee healtcare org and no internal IT Dept?

To be done correctly you will need at least:
A front end for keeping the data updated
A Backend Database to hold the data
A Webserver for the app to connect
Authentication if needed
Also need to pick your platform. If IOS, and the app is only for your 6000 employees you will probably need to invest in an enterprise developer account to be able to deploy it internally.
Its not that complicated, but also not as simple as you may think.
You should expect to pay several thousand at least.

Web based app.

We do have a very robust IT department. I do need it to be compatible with IOS and Android.
I'll reach out of one of the eggheads in IT and see if it's something they want to tackle.

I wanted to try doing an iPhone but from what I understand one must have a Mac which I do not.
