I just released a new update for my Guild Wars 2 Event Viewer!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=k11.guildwars2eventviewer

This operates in two main screens:
Major Events: The bonus chests you know and love. This lists all bonus chests Dynamic Events, showing on white if currently active, yellow if in preparation or if a pre-event is active and in red if inactive. (Temple of Grenth isn’t showing up on the APIs though, if that is fixed, I am already searching for it.)
Select Zone: Select the zone you are currently leveling, farming or getting a tan in and the app will list all active events.

Make sure to select your home world from the main menu first!

Clicking on any event will open the corresponding Wiki page. Both pages auto refresh every 30 sec by default, this can be changed in the Options.

This is the same app I posted the day of the API release as a proof-of-concept, if you downloaded that app, it will automatically update to this new version.

Upcoming Changes (Next week or so): I will be backing the static API calls to a local database which will dramatically speed up the app and reduce the amount of API calls I have to make.

This will additionally enable daily bonus chest tracking, event favorites and proper alphabetic ordering.

For those of a programming mind, this whole app is released under the GPLv3 at Github: https://github.com/KuangEleven/GuildWars2EventViewer Some of the code is a bit hairy now, but the caching update I mentioned above will clean things up substantially.

I’d like to post this on a more general purpose sub-forum as well, but I’m not sure where would be appropriate. Possibly General Discussion, to show people who are not developers?
