You can set the intents in your app to call an intent such as email or SMS or camera. Whom every wrote the 3rd party app would have to setup their app to call your app. Comments Perhaps you mean have your Buzztouch app call the third app?

Google that term to find a more recent/xcode4 example.

Those things are magic. I wish you could just call the native audio and video and camera with something so simple. Pass it a parameter and done. Comments Glad that helps.
