Hey there,
Theres a few things that you can do. Do not worry your are not alone. I had this when I had finished my python course.
1. Quickly redo your courses to make sure that you can still understand and use all of the skills, do all the try it yourself sections and answer all the questions.
2. An app is a VERY large project therefore I would suggest either two options:
2a. If you are determined to make an app straight away I would suggest breaking it down into many smaller projects, this can be aided by the use of something as a flowchart. Then you can work on each section by itself and then put it all together in the end.
2b. I would suggest instead of making an app straight away, I would work on different small projects just to practice your skills then after a few weeks of doing this, then you can attempt to make an app again. Good resources for this are doing the solo learn challenges on the home page or using things such as: https://projecteuler.net/
3. I know this goes against your question but if it is your first app maybe you should work with others who are a little bit more experienced and who could help and give you advice and guidance.
4. Do challenges with can help boost your confidence and your problem solving skills.
5. You might need to learn other API;s or extensions to help make apps, the basic languages might not be enough, but a little research on google can clarify this.
6.Remeber that everyone needs a bit of help starting out, even the best programmers and developers had help at the start before they did it all by themselves.
7. Make sure to make use of official resources such as https://developer.android.com or https://developer.apple.com/develop/ for developing on their platforms respectively.
Don't forget failure is the road to success, good luck and I hope your app turns out good!

You just Need a little more practice before taking on large projects.Do more challenges and practice lots,and if you feel confident in your skills after that then you can probably take on large projects....Just practice more...

Think of a problem. Think of how you can solve it and what language(s) you wil need. Start solving the problem. Enjoy seeing yourself improve...:-)
Remember:
(1 Enjoy the process....
(2 Errors are what will help you become better.
(alternatively, you can try to use www.javatpoint.com. Their tutorials are excellent and they are based on building an app. Perhaps you can start with that and try to imitate it to make your own app)

Begin from very simple tasks. But it must be used. Forexamle create phone contacts saving app

Doing an app is like construction. You start with drawing up the specifications (functionality and the elements required)

Coding and debugging comes late in the process of doing it

Try and draw the app screen and use a 'mindmap' gor the functions

Like I said, start with a simple drawing board, then do a mindmap. A mindmap is a visual representation of your idea. Look into mindmapping, it'll help

Learning to program is similar to cooking or riding a bicycle. It's a skill so you learn by doing snd constant practice. Never memorize, be observant and learn from others

I think you should concentrate on one language rather than many coz I once had the same problem and I wasnt even able to program even the basics
