    Your question is not in detail, to the point it could be considered spam, please explain your question.

    This is still not in detail at all. What kind of application do you want? An "online" app doesn't explain anything. There's thousands of different ways to do the same thing, you're going to have to give us some information if you want help.

    I think he's saying he wants an app which the text will change on it, but he doesn't want to update the app itself.

    (How Twitter gives you new tweets without actually updating the app itself)

    I think you want something like the remote control prefs from the asset store.

    We can only assume, and I'm not about to spend my time writing out a detailed answer for something he can't even explain himself. Even if English isn't his first language, I'd be more than happy to translate it myself if he'd just give us information. "Updating text information and make announcements for a group of people" just tells me he wants to send some information.

    Does he want database storage, does he want keep-alive server connections, etc.

    Thanks for the answers, the thing is that i don't quite know how to explain what i was trying to explain because i am not familiar with some 'tech' terms. And also the thing i wanted was something like what Mr.Gaming Watch was talking about.

    download parse from asset store
    make account on parse.com and setup an app
    add ParseInitializeBehaviour to camera or something
    now you can get and set data and config values

    I would recommend making use of SimpleJSON and the basic REST rules for HTTP. You can use the WWW class to accomplish this, by simulating AJAX calls.
