4 plugins in review! Paint, Calculator, Number Generator & Flashlight!

Decided to do what I did last time and just do it all in one thread! Please leave comments, questions or concerns here for all 4 in review. NOTE: Prices have NOT been determined, things may change during the plugin approval process, and they do NOT work for android as of yet. Thanks! IMPORTANT: The review process varies, these plugins may take time depending on buzztouch when they will be release. This can take from a day to over two weeks - I can't do anything to speed it up, please be patient! ********************* Paint Plugin ********************* "Add a fun simple painting screen to your app! Includes clearing and exporting options." The plugin now includes a working clear button, and a save "export" option that saves your drawing to your photo album, then asks if you want to continue drawing or start a new drawing (also, changed bg to white). SCREENSHOTS: http://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/paint/1_new.PNG http://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/paint/2_new.PNG http://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/paint/3_new.PNG IPAD SCREENSHOTS: https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/paint/ipad_01.png ********************* Calculator Plugin ********************* Calculator is a completely customizable (with XIB in Xcode) fully-functional simple calculator screen! Move the buttons wherever you would like, resize them, add colors, add images, add text, do whatever you want! SCREENSHOTS (iphone/ipad): https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/calculator/iphone_01.png https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/calculator/iphone_02.png https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/calculator/ipad_01.png ********************* Number Generator ********************* A random iOS native number generator! Extremely elegant, clean, and customizable. This number generator (upon click/tap) will generate a random number from 01 to 99. Modify the main text via the control panel settings. This works for both iPod, iPhone AND iPad, and is customizable via XIB files! SCREENSHOTS (iphone/ipad): https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/numbergenerator/1.png https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/numbergenerator/2.png https://buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/numbergenerator/ipad.png ********************* Flashlight ********************* Allows a simple on/off button to turn on the iphone LED flash or turn it off. Buttons are editable, and so is the background.  SCREENSHOTS:  https://www.buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/flashlight/1.PNG https://www.buzztouchmods.com/plugins/screenshots/flashlight/2.PNG ************************************ Thank you! ************************************ David https://buzztouchmods.com

Nice stuff, would like to be able to customise the number range, let the user decide between what numbers, and maybe even between two or more words, example they can put in "Jack" and "Jill" and let the app decide, could also be used for Heads or Tails. NIce stuff !!

Thanks @Absentia! @Kaybee, you got it, that's something I'm looking into (choosing number range), entering names may get more complicated but doable with some of the new stuff I learned recently between connecting the control panel with plugins. Perhaps a new plugin called "Random Words" with random user entered "words"? Not sure if enough people would use or not or what uses it could be for - but I'm sure we can figure something out? Thanks again, and any and all feedback is super appreciated! Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

It's funny - I remember I paid somebody about $150 to make me a flashlight app a year ago when I was first getting into making apps, now here is the same thing almost available in the plugin market. The really sad thing is that the app was never approved. I didn't know back then that apple had blacklisted all "flashlight, fart, and Kama sutra apps" :P PS-not to say that you can't use a flashlight in your app...it's just that they won't approve an app that's ONLY a flashlight

Yup they have WAY too many already! There's only so much you can do with the iphone light, no amount of coding will change that hardware! As always, screens are just that - screens, and should be used to COMPLEMENT the main app, but not be used AS the main app. Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

These are incredible, the image links for the flashlight plugin are broken.

@theMonster, thanks for the kind words! Fixed the links. The flashlight screen is the simplest thing out there, but should be useful for some hopefully. David https://buzztouchmods.com

Fantastic work david. I would also request a plugin that is as tha number plugin but instead gives out random letters. Does the number plugin remember the numbers that came out or can they be repited? Cheers Miguel

David, 1. Anyway of adding a "TIP" component to it. Im making a tri-state restaurant application and tip calculator would add a nice touch. Maybe add a 15, 18 and 20% option to the calculator. 2. The paint plugin, will the save and clear buttons always be in the middle of the screen (iPad)? Anthony

I really like seeing the plug ins lined up. Kudos to any developer who thinks cross-platform from the start :-)

David, How customizable is the random number generator? For example, can we have the user enter 5 names and it select one random one?
