My understanding of the tool is that it helps people learn about programming by making it easy to create android apps. Is it just for educational purposes or can you actually build a commercial quality app with it?

I know the backend of a professional app would have to be written using something else but is it good enough to create an entire front end android app?

If people are making real apps with it, what are some examples?
