I need help figuring out how to do the following

I want to create an app for my research project and I need the following: 1. A screen that we can send letters/notes to our participants 2. A screen for surveys (and they need to be able to updated with ease) 3. GPS feather that tells us where they are 4. When they fill a survey the receive points so I need them to be able to see how many points they have and then they can redeem gift-cards when they reach a certain amount. And for us also to be able to see that info.

Hi Kay12, Welcome to Buzztouch! That's quite a list of features you've got there! No doubt it can all be done, but some of it may require extra coding. Natively, buzztouch isn't going to support all your requests without some extra work. Here are some thoughts: * First, sign up for v1.5 Early Adopter. That's the only way you'll be able to make it work. Signup on the My Account tab. * For #1, you could create a screen that has a form you fill in with your letter, then sends the output to all the participants. This would be an HTML form with a php script tied to it or something. You might also be able to use the Send by Mail screen for this, but I'm not quite sure. * For #2, you can create an HTML screen with your survey in it. You can link to that screen remotely, so the survey can be hosted anywhere. That one is pretty easy. * For #3, easy peasy in Buzztouch. Just turn on GPS. * For #4...that'll take some backend scripting in order to work. You'd have to do some research for this. I know this probably doesn't help much, but it should give you something to think about. You won't be able to do what you want to do just by creating screens in Buzztouch...it'll take some programming as well. But don't give up...there are lots of people in this forum willing to help, provide you give things a shot first! Thanks! Mark
