I have limited coding experience, but using buzztouch has helped tremendously. I have added Scringo to my app already. I was just wondering how can I add a customized twitter feed? For example receving tweets from a few different twitter accounts within one screen in the app. (Sports, school board....) Also if you have an suggestions, advice I can add to my app that will help greatly too. Thanks a lot! Title Comments Hey everyone, I am making an app for my high school.

You might check up at Twitter and work up a plan on what feeds you'll want and how to get them into your app. That might end up being an RSS feed, or some other method. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis Cheers! -- Smug Comments I haven't worked with Twitter a whole lot (as in, not), but most of those things have an API that explains how to retrieve the data you desire (if available).

This should give you an idea of how to do it. https://www.udemy.com/the-what-and-why-of-apis/ free Comments You should also be able to use the Twitter API with the one of the html plugins.
