Please try to be a little bit clearer when you post. It's hard to understand what you're writing.

There is no easy way to create iOS games with LÖVE at the moment. There have been some attempts, but as far as I know none of them are publicly available for you to try. LÖVE for Android is also far from finished.

If you want to make games for iOS, I'd recommend finding another game framework.

If you want a "easy" engine to use for both android and iOS i would look at cocos2d.

I'd say LÖVE is mainly for computers. You can post your apps in the Windows Store, the Mac App Store, the Ubuntu Software Center, Steam or any other market. You can also sell it directly at your own website if you create one.

The Android version is still in the works. It can be used but it doesn't support all of Löve features.

It's also quite pointless to make any sort of game in LÖVE-Android due to the fact that love.filesystem doesn't work yet, and if you can make a game without love.filesystem I'd like to see you try :)

And also the fact that some features don't work yet. :P

I guess you could make an arcade style game, where you don't need any save files, with an online server for high scores :neko: But yeah, I agree that love.filesystem is very important for basiaclly all games.

And don't forget, if you want a game on app store I think you need to pay for a developers licence (last i checked at least it was $300 for "indies" ).
also Cocos2d is no walk in the park for newbies (same with MOAI,Corona,Lib GDX e.t.c). good luck.

But you can always try out stencyl. you can test for iOS, Android and HTML5, its free and their is no programming involved.
