Duplicating an App

A great thank you to all you guys for making it possible for me to get an App out on the App Store!. It is called MTB Trails SA and is about mountain bike trails in South Africa. I cannot code and relied 100% on Buzztouch to generate code for me. The app was approved on first submission! I would like to bring out a free version with adds and the option to upgrade to the paid version. I also want to bring out an Android version. I would like to know whether it is possible to copy the app in the control panel and then make changes and load it as a free app on the app store. I will also have to make minor changes to ensure that it is compliant with Android. The app has many pages and it will take me a long time to recreate it from start for the free version and Android. Any ideas how I can speed up the process? Thanks again!

If you made this app on Self-Hosted, we can sort of do this, however if you're just using the app on Buzztouch's control panel, then you will have to remake the app.

You really only have two options. One option if you're not self hosted. 1) BT Copy utility. Self hosted only. Copies non-menu screens from one app to another. https://www.buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2&download_id=49 2) Stobe's Snippet Keeper. BT or Self Hosted. Allows you to mimic the configuration of a screen without having to recreate the screen. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=57852D3DE0C71B9F1ABF624 Cheers! -- Smug PS, Congrats on your app getting published the first time! That's a pretty impressive feat! :)

But if you wanna keep all the control in the control panel, you'll have to duplicate it....

Thanks guys! As always great response from members. That is what makes Buzztouch such a great platform! I will definitely look into self-hosting option!
