I have tried to find simple feature list of coming version (1.5) but not been able to find it anywhere, just small bits and pieces in other posts.. any list available? Cheers, Kipi

There's no official list anywhere. Be patient :)

No offical feature list exists - this is because we have had a difficult time SETTLING on the list. We literally have been ready to release this thing for weeks now but continue to find or hear about something that should be implemented - the age old one more thing problem. Funny. We'll get good at this eventually! So... we have settled on the features it has and dont' have anymore stopped dev. work on the iOS code. Our most recent work has been on the Control Panel. Here are SOME features.. the ones I can think of off-the-top-of-my-head... -Tabbed layout or non-tabbed layouts (each tab has an icon, label, optional sound-effect, and a home-screen to load when tapped) -Global Themes to control color, background, look, feel for any screen or all screens, navigation bar, toolbars, etc. -List type menus (like the main menu on today's menu) and button menus (like your phones native home-screen) -Images, icons, larger / smaller, taller / short list items, buttons. -Configurable animations for each transition. Any screen can flip, curl, fade, slide in when a navigation item is tapped - this feature is awesome! -Native iPad support. v1.5 compiles as a Universal App - supports all iOS devices from 3.1 forward. -All screens can have background sounds, music, tracks. Cool for ads, bands, announcements, etc -Major improvements to nav bar, including a customizalbe right side navigation button to allow for better navigation. Right button tap leads to this screen with this transition -Sound effects for menu items / buttons. Think simple sounds when menu items are tapped like tink, bonk, bing, clang, whoosh, etc. -Password (login) protected screens. Any screen can be password / login protected. Manage users form your server or your buzztouch control panel. -100% disconnected from buzztouch if you so desire. Use the control panel to build then disconnect from our backend and connect to yours instead. (advanced users) -Easily pull all your apps content from your server / site and not the buzztouch site (no uploading of files, .pdfs, data, etc, put it on your server and point to it instead). -Bottom toolbars where appropriate. Example: Web screens can have a bottom toolbar with back / refresh / open in Safari, audio controls, etc -Maps. MUCH better. Any map marker can be configured to open any other screen when tapped. Tap the marker, tap the icon, see the next screen. (think tours, locations) -Quizzes: Give rewards if a certain point value reached. show this screen (reward) if a user gets 2000 points -Offline support. It's possible to build an entire app that will work without the need for a web-connection. Build it. Download the source-code, drag necessary media into Xcode per the instructions. App will work without having to download anything. Naturally the functions would be limited but it is doable with the right type of content. Gotta be more.. can't remember ;-)

Simply amazing David.

Thanks, David! Just what I was looking for, as I'm looking simple way to make a book for iPad (yes, there's epub etc., but at the moment because of limitations of Apple's international partners those can be in practise just text books, and in this case epub just does not work). Only thing missing from the list above was dynamic main menu item which can set as a bookmark (ie while browsing through image gallery or text pages, user can set bookmark to get fast back to chosen location and that bookmark will update eg main menu item => clicking that item opens the bookmarked location). Anyway, this is quite niche feature and I think I'll find the way to do it, one way or another.. Thanks again for the list! Cheers, Kipi

Thanks for the great work...

Would it be complicated to add splash screens Image or video?

Nope... splash screens are supported (fade, flip, curl this screen out after x number of seconds when the app launches)... along with video ;-)

All of this for free David? I feel like I'm ripping you off!

Nice Looking forward to the Launch :-)

Can't wait to see 1.5! I hope the rumors about a weekend launch are true. I'm staying up all weekend and looking for it every few minutes -the anticipation is even better than waiting to unwrap presents on Christmas morning! Huge thank you's to David and BuzzTouch for putting this much power in our hands!

Great list. Did I miss the part about being able to dupicate any app for those of use who are using the same app with different Long and Lat's? Think Restuarant reviews/recommendations by food type.
