For making iOS apps, you don't exactly require a Mac, although it is the best option by far to run Xcode. There are 2 other ways: 1) Virtual Machine (VM): You create a virtual machine on your computer, install Apple's OS X operating system and then run Xcode on that VM. I don't recommend it because it's difficult to set it up and it's illegal. 2) Cloud Service: xcodeclub.com and macincloud.com rent Mac computers, you access them via the web and control it remotely. All you need is a web browser, internet and pay a monthly fee.

download android studio on your laptop. for the design and layout you can use the drag and drop editor in android studio, as well as the xml layout files to fine tune the drag and drop

@ossloth mentioned unity, but you should only use unity if you want to make graphical games, otherwise to make an app that looks like this one, you use android studio

You can use MIT App Inventor and create apps without coding. Really good for beginners tho

Best way is,learning Swift language for ios apps imo.(It's pretty easy). But if you want to work on multiple platforms i suggest you Unity or PhoneGap

@Edward yeah I assumed he knew that. As Edward said you will create (most likely) games with unity, its not that good for apps
