@dodi_games in your case I would definitely externalise your content and do what @argamonte suggests and make simple web pages (with your time sensitive content). This is much easier than recompiling every two weeks and you can also outsource the design work too.
I want to thank everyone for their answers. Without you the learning process would be very difficult.
Any suggestion of which tool to use to make a simple web page?
Did you try Google? There are hundreds (both paid and free) https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=html+authoring+tools
I have never made a web page in my life. But I will find the way. I do not like the “webView” can not fully appreciate the content. I would like to use the “display.loadRemoteImage()”. Once I have hosted the images on the server I can build a scrollView using that api? Would be about 96 images divided in 7 different scenes and inserted in their respective “scrollViews”. I worry that every time the user opens the app they download all the images over and over again causing them to slowly fill their memory. Is there any way to achieve this? In my scrollview the images load from “My app / images / image1, 2, 3, etc” using “display.newImageRect()” api, I would like to have them read from the server. I think that if they have the same name I could change the image on the server and every time I make a change, the image will be replaced.
In other words replace “display.newImageRect” with “display.loadRemoteImage ()” in my scrollViews.
Thats a moutful and off topic.
It’s easier to get help with more clearly defined problems.
Sounds to me like you have some research to do.
As for Apple App Store Review times, it has been greatly reduced recently.
You can check out this site to get an overview of average review times:
@dodi_games, what you would do is have 8 web pages. One page would be your home page and then you would have a further 7 category pages.
This is definitely a use case for webView and it is real simple to make. The Corona side should only take an hour from start to fully compiled.
Here is an example of an app I created in Corona that runs a full ecommerce website using webView - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.explodingphone.simplybeach&hl=en_GB
You don’t have to do this with a web page… sort of. You can build web scripts that output a common data format like JSON that would read a file or database with your offers and then you can use Corona’s network.request() API to fetch the contents of that web script. If it outputs data in JSON, you can simply use our json.decode() function to turn the JSON data into a Lua table. You could get more sophisticated and tie it to a data base and provide your client a web page (this would need some web coding skills, that perhaps you could outsource) to get them a web page where they can update their products and you won’t be the middle man in their data dealings.

Thank you all, again. I’m currently taking the time to learn HTML. :)
