Cool, I just downloaded both apps to get a better feel on how they work. Basically on the android version its just a slide out navigation menu (drawerLayout). On iOS it looks like it just open another view with a transparent background. Thats probably not your point. You just want it to look like the android version on both platforms, but drop down instead of sliding out right?

Do you use the context menu? It sounds like that has the basics what you want for iOS, as you can have it on all your pages if you need that. On Android it appears in in different places on different devices, I find that a bit annoying, but maybe somebody can suggest something on how to change that?

cheers al, Its not important that its on the top on android, as long as theres a menu drop down on both devices, is the context menu, the bottom icons on the iphone, I noticed that android has this as a drop down menu, but was unsure how to do the drop down in IOS, wheres best place to start on IOS dude. Thanks Sean

It is a drop down menu in ios. Best place to start is to just add to an existing app, only takes 10 minutes! This is a good link about customising it: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=5DCE459A9AE0C8EAAAA6E82

Context menu is available in Android, but as per my 1st post, does not appear consistently in the same place across different devices. I think that is something you have to live with, unless somebody know how to lock it down.
