I know I must start from scratch, but after a few hours of test I've come up with a series of problems: 1) I've created a simple RSS Reader screen, and it does list the RSS entries quite well, but when I click any link to read the full article, it just shows a warning message: There was a problem saving some data to the devices cache? And that's it. I'm missing something important somewhere? Please note that the original RSS feed does contain already the full text of each article. 2) With an RSS feed containing MP3 audio enclosures, is there no way to open automatically an audio player? When I click any Audio RSS entry, buzztouch just loads the webpage related to the 'link' XML element of the feed itself. How can I show every single entry on a separate screen showing the audio contents of the RSS entry itself, and not pointing to the webpage instead? It would be also nice to have a next/previous series of buttons, so to avoid to go back and forth to the main listt of podcast files. That's how AppMakr does work with RSS feeds - I'm trying to do the same with buzztouch. 3) Geo RSS: with AppMakr I can grab such a feed and make the app show all the entries as pins on a Google Map. Clicking on any pin shows the title of the news related to that geographic location, and clicking on an arrow on the same title brings the user to the RSS entry (full text) of that article. Is it possible to do something similar with buzztouch? 4) I set up a simple E-mail Us message screen on buzztouch, and fully configured it. But when I click the corresponding tab, all I get is a blank Screen not found? page. I have triple-checked everythinhg (particularly the Home screen nickname tabs), but the thing doesn't work. So, surely buzztouch does look promising, but at least in my case I've got 4 tabs I must convert from my previous app, an none of them work as I was expecting. Does anybody knows if my task is just a lost cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Should be related to 1.5 version and hopefully will be solved. Comments Hi, concerning issue 1, this wasn't happening in version 1.4. Should be related to 1.5 version and hopefully will be solved.
