The app was published by iTunes. Now for the question: I would like to create a similar app for another school district. Is there any way to copy the app from Buzz Touch, so that all I need to do is change the basic menu titles and information in Buzz Touch? Any help is appreciated!

Best way is to open the old app in one tab, and work periodically through it and re-create each screen by hand. // J Comments Short answer: nope, you can't.

Option One : Use the Source Code with different images and assets. Option Two: Take the app offline and 1. modify the Config file 2. use different images and assets. Option Three: Take the app's Online Config file to a website or Dropbox and: 1. Modify Config file 2. Use different images and assets. Which option works best (or will work) depends on your app's setup and structure. You may wish to modify the app to make one or more of the options possible.

Keeps things simple, especially if you are making it for another person.
