I want to make an exact copy of my app so i can do a free version as well. Can I?

Yep, but at the moment you have to copy it screen by screen. There is no copy feature. A free version should have less content than the paid version, to entice the user to buy the full one. So, that's less information that you need to copy! Mark

You could create a second app and use the first apps Config file. Just make a few edits to Config file post it on Dropbox and app is duplicated. Fred

But keep in mind that @Fred's solution does NOT allow you to edit any of the screens using the control panel. All changes would have to be made via the config file itself, which requires modifying JSON. Not a problem if you're comfortable with that, but makes things a bit more difficult. Mark
