Ending membership

hello My membership is ending in a few months and wanted to know what will happen to the apps I published on the Play store under this account. Can people continue using them without trouble? will they have any type of errors or bugs? Thanks!

Hi, that all depends on how the app is set up. If you have files on bt server and your membership is not renewed the app will not be able to access those files, giving you an error. If you have an offline app, all will be ok. If you need the server, it will not not. Cheers.

What happens if I don't maintain my subscription?: a) You'll need to find a different app making solution. b) Your account will be removed and all data associated with it will be removed. c) You won't be able to create any new apps. d) Apps you created using Buzztouch that do not rely on any data on the Buzztouch backend will continue to work. taken from here: https://www.buzztouch.com/pricing/

grab the btconfig file, put it on your server, change the text of the config file at bt and on your server to reflect the new url. As users refresh they'll get the new version. If users don't refresh before your 2 months is up they've got a dead app that you can't edit. If it's a free app then that may not matter to you. If they've paid for the app then they'll be annoyed. But then, if they've paid for the app you can justify the renewal...

thanks all of you! @sarahk look at the image: http://imgur.com/pEFcWfg is that what you mean? I've already upload the BT_config.txt file in my server and changed that field value. Before uploading it, I edited the config file as show here: http://imgur.com/Vn1WdJA Is that ok? Thanksss

Yep, that's what you need to change - and you need to have a copy of the config file in that location.

If I want to do some changes on any navbar title (for example).. can I just edit the BT_config.txt file located at my server?

I've tried doing some changes on the config file at my server, but the changes are not appearing on the app. Why is that? It will work only when my membership is canceled? Thanks!!

You said earlier that you've moved the config file onto another server. That means that you have to copy your changes over to that file also. Just from reading your questions I would suggest that you aren't quite ready to fly solo yet. I'd have a good look at your business model and see if you can justify both your time and the membership fee and get signed up again.

"That means that you have to copy your changes over to that file also." That's what I did: I directly edit the config file uploaded to my server, and the app doesn't show that change/edition! Why is that? if I've already set the new config file location in my panel: http://imgur.com/pEFcWfg

Your screenshot doesn't prove anything Can you tell us what you changed and give us a link to your new config file?
