If you're talking about the tabs at the bottom of the screen, five is the maximum. If you just want menu lists, the sky's the limit. I have a couple of apps with a ton of menus and haven't run into any limits.

Try adding a MORE tab at the bottom and then linking it to another Menu List.

@Nasdaq12: iOS doesn't put a limit on the number of tabs at the bottom - the control panel does. The idea is that most apps are iPhone and more then 5 gets a bit jenky. However, if you're making an iPad app it's reasonable to have more than 5 tabs because they 'fit' fine. Here's an idea... The BT_config.txt file has a list of tabs in the data. You'll see each tab object in the tab[] array in the data file. You could create more here. This approach would mean you'll not be able to use the control panel to manage your BT_config file but this may be ok in your case? If you do it manually like this, remove the dataURL from the config file so the app doesn't donwload a new version from the control panel and overwrite your custom creation.
