GooglePlay seems to have been fixed now so update to the latest pfodDesignerV3 from there

The latest version of the free
(and add free) pfodDesignerV3
Android application lets you design your own system of Android
menus to turn Arduino outputs on and off and then generate all the
Arduino code necessary to display those menus and control the outputs
when you connect using pfodApp
via bluetooth, ethernet, wifi or SMS. No
Android Programming is required and No Arduino Programming is
required.
As you design your menu you can see a preview of it exactly as it will be displayed by pfodApp. The top left screen shot is a preview. You can add menu items and change the text size, colour and style. As well as setting the background color and specifying which output you want to control. When you come to generate the code you can specify which serial connection to use and the baud rate to match your Arduino board and bluetooth or wifi hardware.
As well as output on/off toggle buttons you can also design plain menu buttons. For these plain buttons the generated Arduino code will display the menu on pfodApp on your mobile and parse there return when the user clicks the button. You only have to add the action code to do what you want.
pfodDesignerV2 has been updated to pfodDesignerV3. These tutorials work the same in pfodDesignerV3
In addition to the board specific links at the top of the page, the following tutorials available are:-
How
to Display Arduino Data on Android for Beginners –
Absolutely
NO programming required.
This
tutorial generates ALL the Arduino code necessary show and Arduino
data and also control outputs.
This tutorial shows you how to use the pfodDesignerV2 and pfodApp to
create custom menus to plot and log Analog reading, display Analog
readings and the state of a Digital inputs and control PWM outputs
and set/pulse Digital Outputs.
All the Arduino code is generated
for you by pfodDesignerV2.
pfodApp connects to your Arduino and
displays the menu and lets you interact with your Arduino. The
Arduino 101 board is used as an example but many other boards are
supported.
For high speed data logging and plotting see Remote
High Speed Data Logging using Arduino/GL AR150/Android/pfodApp
For
high accuracy data logging and plotting see High
Accuracy Remote Data Logging using Mulitmeter/Arduino/pfodApp
For date and time plots using
only Arduino's millis() function, see Arduino
Date and Time using millis() and pfodApp
Design
a Custom menu to turn the Arduino Led on and off –
Absolutely
NO programming required.
This
tutorial generates ALL the Arduino code necessary turn the Arduino's
LED on and off from your Android Mobile. It is used as the basis for
the Bluetooth Low Energy tutorial.
Android/Arduino
Menu Designer for Beginners to switch things on and off from your
mobile – Absolutely
NO programming required.
This
tutorial generates ALL the Arduino code necessary to display custom
on/off toggle buttons on your mobile and switch relays on and off as
you click the buttons.
Android/Arduino
menus for Beginners – Design Custom menus to switch Arduino
outputs on and off –
Absolutely NO programming
required.
This
tutorial follows on from the previous one and shows you how to make
your own menu system with sub-menus using pfodDesignerV2 to design
the menus and their contents and then generate the code to show the
menus on your Android mobile.
How
to pulse an Arduino output from a button on your Android mobile
– No Android
programming required.
How
to use pfodDesignerV2 to make an Arduino output pulse from our
Android mobile. For example to use for a Garage Door control or to
turn off Fish Tank pump while feeding.
Android
/ Arduino menu buttons –
A
little Arduino is programming required. No
Android programming required.
This
tutorial generates Arduino code to display your custom menu buttons
on your mobile and parse the commands sent when you click those
buttons. You only need to add some action code to the sketch to do
what ever you what to do when the button is pressed.
Making Loud and Flashy menu buttons – How to make pfodApp play a sound and flash the menu item. Also covers ignoring user input for some menu items that are display only.
Auto refresh and adding a Blank Space to pfodApp menu – Designs an example menu for Inline ESP8266 controlled power switch which auto refreshes the menu ones a second and addes a blank spacer to move the on/off menu button to the centre of the screen.
Although the pfodDesignerV3 is free, when you have finished your design, you will need to purchase pfodApp to control your Arduino, via bluetooth or wifi or SMS, using your custom menu.
