Now with 2.0, I have seen many people say go to that. Here is where my quandary is. I have looked at the lessons regarding how to build in 2.0 yet I am still lost. My app is pretty simple. I have 99.9% of my documents already. I have a few more files to add but they can wait. The files will be under seven different folders. I looked and can only add information to five separate tabs. Trying to add the files in a coherent format-futile, organizing-futile, the only success is raising my blood pressure :) If someone would be able to, help would be GREATLY appreciated. I would like for this app to be released for iOS and Android. Title Comments Hello all, I have previously started an app in 1.5. Now with 2.0, I have seen many people say go to that.

Tell us a bit about what the app is supposed to do, we might be able to help you better if you explain its purpose.

The app is designed to deliver information in regards to a particular group(I wish to keep that private as I don't wish to offend anyone here). Here is the screens that I need in a linear format. The first part is the menu option needed followed by what I need it to lead to: Getting Started->Link to 2 MS Word Docs Key Terms->Link to 44 MS documents that have terms defined Dates->Link to 3 MS Word Docs Changes->Link to 23 MS Word Docs Interesting Quotes->Link to 31 MS Word Docs Published Material->Link to 12 MS Word Docs Speaking Tips->Link to 3 MS Word Docs (This will have more added over time). Contact->Lead to an email address, website (yet to be developed but almost ready) Comments Sorry MadRod, I'll try to explain in a little more detail here.

I'd do one of the following: Use a simple menu instead of a tab menu. Have the main page be a Button Menu screen, and here you can add all those options. If you rather use the tab menu, I'd put on the 5th icon named more, than would open a menu with the remaining options. I did it with my first app, if you wanna check it out http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/regret/id526916458?ls=1&mt=8 Cheers Comments Unless you know programing I don't think you can have more than five icons in a tab menu.
