How to create an iphone app on a windows computer?
I really want to create an iphone app, but I can't seem to find a free way to create it on windows. I heard that you needed a mac to get the proper software for ios application development. But I was just wondering if there was a free way to do it on Windows? I just want to be able to create the app and test it out on my Iphone. If it's good I'm willing to spend some money to get it into the app store. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
You can't, you need a mac.
Strictly speaking, you do not. An iOS app must be created with Xcode on an OSX computer.
There are a few ways to code a cross platform app using Windows that will eventually run as an iOS app. The easiest would be creating a HTML5/Javascript web app and rolling it in a hybrid framework like Cordova. (Note web apps have several limitations and performance/responsiveness issues compared to a real Objective-C native app, but they may be ideal for different projects.) The final iOS app must still be created under OSX, but that can potentially be done through various cloud services.
Icenium is an easy web based IDE for Cordova, and they have a tester app on iOS which allows you to code and start running a test web app on your phone in minutes.

Unfortunately you can't bypass Xcode on Mac machine. Even if you somehow use Xcode to create an app (highly impossible), you still can't upload your app to iTunes store without Mac machine.
Let me know if you need any further help regarding this
In mean time, take a look at the number of app we have created for iOS and Android:
