I am very new to apps and coding. I am not sure what my options are for linking to data. I would like to store user id and password for authentication, store user cumulative points, and also store trivia type questions. I found on other discussions that idevdepot has a quizmaker for dropbox but not sure if I can get the user id and cumulative points thing the same way. Any advice

All of this is doable using the existing tools and plugins in buzztouch. However, there is a learning curve to all of it. Some things to think about... --Data is generally passed from the device to the server by way of a dataURL. Parameters (data) is passed to a backend script to then be saved. This data could be user id's, quiz results, etc. --The buzztouch control panel will allow you to manage user and provide logins and login protected screens. Have a look at the Login Screen plugin. --User cumulative points. It's likely that you'll want to push this type of data to some other script on some other server (.php script) because the buzztouch server doesn't allow you to access the raw data unless you're self hosting.
