One Plugin Only

I wanted to start this topic to assist new members and members in general. If you had to pick one plugin for a must have to start developing an App, not coding and can be IOS and/or Android, which one would it be? It can be free or you can buy it, but only one plugin. It can be a menu or a basic or advance screen. I know which one I would choose but will hold off until everyone chimes in. Think about this before you jump in and choose one and choose your plugin wisely. I also invite David @buzztouch to respond to this thread, and other admin members, because many members and non members look to him and the other admin for advice and guidance. Please respond and have fun with this but choose your plugin after careful consideration. Edit: Please explain why you chose this plugin also! Happy choosing, LA

Hands down, the HTMLDoc, and similar. Nothing can display a greater variety of content. Just my 2¢ Cheers! -- Smug

I agree with Smug...If I had to pick just one, it would be the HTMLDoc or similar plugin because you can link from one screen to another, and have a huge number of ways to provide content. However, I'd propose that you actually need two plugins...some sort of menu, and then a content type screen. So, I'd say the Menu with Image and then an HTMLDoc plugins would be my go-to plugins. That way I have a super cool and flexible menu tied to a zillion ways to provide content. Mark

App Rater . A must have in any app. reason ?: while plugins like Custom HTML are amazing you don't need it in every types of apps. App Rater on the other hand is a great look plus it builds the success outside your app. example *high ratings*

Menu with image. Simple to use while still having some design aspects to make it look nice.

Why not the Menu Image Student plugin? That one is very inexpensive. Free for members. I put in extra instructions, assuming the users would be new, and I took out more complex, advanced-user, features.

Hands down, it has be by virtue of its name "Ultimate Screen Creator" Amazing flexibility for any level of developer. The WYSIWYG format is just what I need. Pays itself off over and over.

If it where 1 plugin that works on both IOS and Android, for me after 2 years of being here is the menu buttons plugin, probably used this plugin in every app ive made through buzz. Sean
