Thanks for your replies - I couldn't respond sooner as I couldn't log in!

4 . Licensing a single app and buying DPS is almost the same price as licensing Creative Cloud. I really need DPS so I have decided to go for 1 year of Creative Cloud. I have no doubt all the applications are excellent but I'd like to suggest in the future Adobe provide app options for people who don't need everything and want to cut down on costs.

Thanks Bob. Neil.

1. InDesign is the base, but any HTML knowledge will be a big help as will Edge Animate and Muse (both part of Creative Cloud)

2. It's an app, you create it and submit it to Apple. If approved it will stay on the app store as long as your Apple Developer account is active.

3. Creative Cloud includes an unlimted number of Single Edition apps. The first year is less than the cost of one SE license.

4. No. And you will quickly discover the rest of the CC apps are indeed quite a nice compliment to InDesign.

5. No. (my opinion only)

6. www.google.com and look around here as well.

Hi. I have a little experience with InDesign CS6 which I have used to create and publish epub books. I now would like to create single edition apps. I already have an Apple Developer account. After looking at a number of different solutions Adobe DPS single edition looks most suitable but I am confused by the options so I have some questions.

1) Is Indesign and DPS all the software I need to create and output the app or is there something else that must be bought?

2) Does the price of Adobe DPS single edition mean I own it, ie it won't expire after a set period of time?

3) Adobe Creative Cloud gives a 1 year license to adobe software - does this license also include Adobe DPS single edition?

4) I don't need all the Adobe Creative Cloud software, if I just licensed Indesign CC, because it's cheaper, is Adobe DPS single edition still included.

5) Is it likely that support for Android and Amazon single editions will be added in the next year?

6) Can you point me to any resources on the internet that are good for teaching how to use DPS?

Thanks!
