For speedy development and cross device support- iOS, Android, Blackberry etc. I would look at cordova.js. HTML/CSS is super easy to pick up, and that's pretty much what controls how it will look. Scripting is done using JavaScript. Then cordova will port it to each different language for whatever device you want. PhoneGap uses cordova, and that's the adobe endorsed version if you want to try it out.

 

This way you won't need to learn Java and Swift and a few other things if targeting smaller OS'

I am good at computer

Do Android - $25 once and your apps go on the store forever*.  Android is also the most popular mobile OS, so they will likely be able to use it.  iOS app development is $99/year and you need a Crapintosh to program for it.  So unless you have/will spend $1100+ to get your iOS app out there, you're probably going to like android.  Also, android apps can go on the Amazon appstore free of charge once you have a developer account.

could also use jquery mobile to an html based app. Then you can host it on the internet and creat a simple wrapper application.

 

You can use http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/ it allows you to drag and drop then use blocks to create the functionalty, it's pretty much scratch if you have ever used it.
