Android 1.5 has not been finished. There's a stated intention to roll out Phase 2 after BTv2.0 is complete. As you can see they have their hands full so it'll be a long while before that happens. Read my guide, MySkylla's Guide to Buzztouch for some workarounds to the unfinished screens. www.myskylla.wordpress.com Fred

Has any more of it been completed with the new site?

No, their effort will be the new site, Buzztouch U, then new Plugins. Completing BTv1.5 is probably way back on the list of things to do. You must understand, just a little bit of effort inBTv2.0 will yield hugh pay offs that BTv1.5 will never give. So you need to accept BTv1.5 is not going to improve. At some time in a future not near you, perhaps BTv1.5 will be finished, but meanwhile so much more can and will be done with BTv2.0 only the stragglers than refuse to move to BTv2.0 will care. Now I'm sure those stragglers are important to Buzztouch but once you understand the concept of limitation of resources you'll understand it won't happen anytime soon.

I agree with Fred, I skipped past 1.5 going to Server 2.0. If you want to make awesome apps, plugins are the way to go. I'd rather see development time spent on the future rather than the past.

The only problem that I saw with plugins, is that not all of the screens/actions are available yet.

There's only a few screens available in BTv2.0 iOS that are not available in BTv2.0. For Android it's very much the other way around. If there's a BTv1.5 only screen you must have then it's understandable that you'll wish to use BTv1.5 for now. But if you can get by with BTv2.0 for now in the long run you'll be much better off than using BTv1.5. But that's not a big deal, since you'll be able to rebuild your BTv1.5 app into BTv2.0 and publish an 'update'.

There will be a 1.5 to 2.0 converter, what about the screens that are not available in 2.0 but are in 1.5? Will they disappear?

BT1.5 converted to BT2.0, Ha! In our dreams. Copy and paste. That's a reason to use BTv2.0 now, any work / time spent in BTv1.5 you may have to duplicate in rebuilding into a BTv2.0 app. Fred

True, but every thing is available anywhere. All things come with their advantages and limitations. What is it that you wish to accomplish? Fred

I have created an app using V1.5 and V2 and it runs on IOS. Are there still features that are not fully functional on the Android side? Does anyone have a list of what works and what doesn't?
