However it is aimed at teachers in schools and I believe that some schools' proxy filters must block Dropbox. My image files are all saved in my public folder on my dropbox. Am I going to have to move all of my images to my Wordpress site/content? Am I likely to have the same problem here? If I move all of my images (and my app is mostly images) will the people who have already purchased it, automatically receive the new URL info? (Of course I will have to go back to Buzztouch and change the URL for every single image). Thanks Title Comments I have uploaded my app called Kids Write Text Types and it is working beautifully.

If you have urls hard coded into eclipse that need to be changed, you'll have to recompile the app. I guess your main problem, as you've said, is that all schools filter internet use. Really not sure how you'd work around that. I know some bt users have built apps for school use, perhaps one of them will see this post and supply you with some more info.
