I can not get it running on my Android app, it seems to work on the IPhone simulator but not on my Android Phone, it says there is a problem. I have gone and downloaded other buzztouch apps from the market and it is not working on their app either. I just need to know if that function still works on the Android phone and if it works on the Iphone phone not just the simulator? PLEASE HELP!

There are lots of reasons for this, most of them mysterious. As it turns out, both of those providers have changed greatly how their services (API's) work and as such the built in screens you see in your contol panel are likely not useful. Because your using buzztouch v1.4 (the older version) you don't have a whole lot of control over how your app's source-code behaves. For this reason, you'll be limited to using Custom URL screens to load facebook / twitter pages. This works well if you can figure out the URL mobileized version of whatever facebook / twitter screen you're trying to show. Timeline, Fan Page, etc. Users will need to login to interact with these types of pages. I would not waste too much time tinkering with the built in screen types for facebook / twitter, always leads to mystery!
