Our app involves the use of techniques that have not been used within the target profession before, and as a result, end users will have no comprehension of how to use it. We will be doing webinars to help them get started with it; however, there is a concern that they may need some immediate assistance from the time they download it.
So, we're trying to figure out how best to present this information. While the app itself is mostly self-explanatory, the underlying techniques on how it is to be used require some explanation.
I'm thinking of adding a "help button" on the nav bar at the top of screens where it will be relevant, which would then open a webview to load html containing the necessary help screens.
My questions are:
a) Would this generally be acceptable in terms of the UI?
b) Is there a better way than what I'm suggesting?
TIA

A: No. I think a help button is the wrong way to go about it.
B: Why not display a screen onto of the UI that gives info on how to use the app. This screen only shows the first time the user opens the app. Like a short tutorial?

I would like to customise App Suggestions in iOS programatically.
It usually says Good Morning and my app name.
Is it possible that I configure it to say something other than "good morning"?
Can I control when and where it appears?
I couldn't find much information in this regard.
Thanks,
Elstine
You can't modify App Suggestions from an application, as that content is outside of the scope of an app's sandbox.
"Good Morning" appears there because the App Suggestion feature detected that you usually use a particular app in the morning and greets you with an according message. Those strings come directly from this feature and are not app-dependent; therefore, they can't be changed as of now.

I have an application which was rejected. The rejection says it contains lower quality experience, and I should add iOS features to it, like a favourite button.
It's a language learner application, which is just a "webview", so it does not contains much, but textviews and a few pictures. Though it has a nice design and a lot of animation, but still don't have that interactive thing or button.
Could anyone help me by showing me the way how to improve my app to be accepted?
How can I make those iOS features?
What buttons should I make and how?
I know there is a lot of way to do these, but I'm asking because I'm not a programmer and I believe you can explain it to me, or link me the right pages to learn and achieve my goal.
Appreciate any help.
On Android it was fine to just make that "lame" application which has nothing but textviews with pictures.
I also don't want my users to have internet connection while using the app.
Basically, I just need buttons which can do something.
I'm guessing you didn't read the app store review guidelines
The second point in the introduction reads…
If your app looks like it was cobbled together in a few days, or
you're trying to get your first practice app into the store to impress
your friends, please brace yourself for rejection. We have lots of
serious developers who don't want their quality apps to be surrounded
by amateur hour.
Please don't waste the reviewers' time with a "language learner application" - write and submit something of value

Where do I start to make a Golf Course GPS App [closed]

I want to make a golf GPS app for my local golf course. I want it to show from tee box to green and have distances to front middle and back of green and also to hazards such as water and sand traps. I want to make it so it only show images of each hole similar to the sonocaddie app. I am unsure how to start to build this app and I am hoping someone here has made one before and lead me on the right path. I have been searching for a long tin but I cannot find any information. If you have any information for me please help. Thank you.
The base of this app would be the map, the problem I see here is to combine your live geo-localization with a custom view/map.
I found something that might be helpful.
As the answer suggets, MapBox would be a good option to start with.
Thats all what I can help with, remember here you need to ask specific programming questions to be specific answered.
Hope it helps.

IPhone / IPad development : possible to code "outside the app"? [closed]

Sorry in advance for those who find that my title is not precise enough. If someone finds a better way of titling the post, be my guest:) The idea is that I am someone that learns through ideas and projects. Not through books. I learned PHP,HTML,CSS,JQuery... by myself through things I wanted to realize... Whatever... So now I have an idea for an IPhone/Ipad app. I know I have to dig into Objective-C. But before doing this I wanted to know if it is possible to build "outside the app". What I mean by that is for instance when you highlight text from safari in the iphone you get a bubble with "copy" written. Is it possible to have for instance a second choice called "whatever" that will send the highlighted text to the app I developped. I don't want to know how to do it. If it is possible i will figure out by myself. I just want to know if it is possible? Thank you in advance. Cheers. Marc
What you want sounds like system-wide plugins and is possible by jailbreaking the device and using MobileSubstrate. AppStore apps, however, cannot benefit from this.
