General information for the app: BEP App V2 iOS Project
Description of every page/module: Apologies for the garbled content (and conceded!). I can't send a comprehensive project description because of PPH charter limits. Been trying for an hour so all I can do is send these basic notes.
Refer also to our notes from our previous discussions (http://www.peopleperhour.com/stream/view?id=8800803) and refer also to our Skype discussions earlier today (16th June).
The existing functionality of the app to be maintained (and improved where possible) is demonstrated in the existing app and summarized below:
Existing app: https://itunes.apple.com/app/business-english-app-by-business/id568878613
Summary of existing functionality as shown in the existing app:
1. Display an updated list of lessons generated by our existing app CMS (iphone4esl.com).
2. A 'lesson' consists of 2 elements: 1) the text transcript & 2) a media file (either MP3 or video (mp4 & M4V).
3. Allow the lesson audio to be accessed on the same page as the text transcript by means of a drop-down audio player.
4. Allow the audio or video to be downloaded and stored on-device for offline use.
5. Allow lessons to be 'favorited' and such lessons displayed on a favorites tab.
6. Lock certain lesson transcripts by IPA as specified by the app CMS. These locked lesson can be accessed via an IAP. Note some lessons are specified as 'free' and the lesson transcript is not locked for these type of lessons. The lesson media file can be accessed freely regardless of the specified state of the lesson transcript.
7. Display lessons as a paged list or by topic (designated by the app CMS).
8. Provide basic settings to adjust the font type and size.
Description of requirements/features: These are the original specs for the update of the app (and to be clear we have a functioning existing version of this app in the App Store) - this project is to update the existing app.
The existing app details are:
Bundle ID: com.bizpod.bepv1
SKU: BEP-V1
Apple ID: 568878613
First and most important point is that we want to maintain all existing functionality in the app and use our existing app CMS to deliver content to the app. We also intend to build a native Android version of the app after completion of the new iOS version.
However, iOS is the main priority as we have over 200K existing users + 15K IAP's and the current version of the app has some errors which is impacting user satisfaction and the usability of the iOS app (the browse back button is broken).
In addition to the above existing functionality, we would like to add the following new functionality.
1. A login for members of the BEP website using our website membership script (aMember) API. We have successfully done this in our 3 eCourse iOS apps and it was pretty simple to do with the API.
Here's the tech info for the API:

2. Locally cache existing lesson transcript content in the app. We have about 300 lessons in the current iOS app and would like to cache these locally in the native apps (so that the lesson texts/transcripts are available offline and downloaded/refreshed when the app is installed). New lessons would be updated whenever the app user is online (but there should be a limit to how often the app polls the CMS to get new lessons, eg. once every 24-hours or better if the app only updates the lesson transcripts when new content is available).
3. Use a 'badge' to display the number of new lessons on the home screen icon (have to filter so that it is only newly added lessons and does not include existing lessons that have been updated as we often make changes in the app CMS to old lessons to fix mistakes or improve formatting).
4. Add a search functionality for the lessons.
5.. Theming - the app theme is to be based on this template (see also attached screenshots of the Sencha build):
http://graphicriver.net/item/app-ui-benative/10190571
Note: The theme is illustrated in a previous Phonegap/xCode build I have and the screenshots. I believe the theme elements can be extracted from this project for use with in xCode and I can provide the original UI icons, splash screens and app icons.
The only change to this is on the layout of individual lesson transcript pages. The new design currently shows 2 tabs on the lesson pages: 1) Summary & 2) Transcript. I would like to change this layout to remove the tabs so that the page functions exactly like the existing BEP app, i.e. On initial load, the page displays a green button at the top of the page and the summary text. If the lesson is locked by an IAP, the button text displays: Purchase this Transcript $0.99 If the lesson is not locked (free) or the user has made an IAP or unlocked the lessons via a valid API member login the the button displays: View Transcript
