Hi guys,

Here are some screen shots of a free mobile app I’m building (iOS and Android for starters). The idea is to use a Twitter tag (#gw2events) as a channel and let you configure which meta events you want to follow on which server(s) with simple switches based on tags. The message list will filter tweets according to your selected tag filters.

The app has a quick tweet composer that automatically formats the tweet tags by using spinner lists for events, statuses and servers. But Twitter users may also send messages straight from their web browser. If you follow the message tag format, tweets will be featured in the app message list, irrespective of wether they originate from the app or from a normal tweet.The selection shown in the screen shots would translate into the following tweet:

#gw2events #jormag is starting on #fissure_of_woe

I will post a full listing of all event and server tags when the app is finished.

If you’re interested in testing the app, I will make an Android build available soon and post the link here– a beta for iOS would be difficult because of apple’s UDID policy for beta provisioning, but the code is multiplatform, so once it runs fine on Android other platforms should not pose much problems.

This is a really cool idea. I’ll be sure to check it out.

Update: Android App is now in review for publication on the Amazon App Store.

This is a great idea. I fully support this and hope great things come from it. I’d gladly test it but sadly I only have iOS Best of luck in finishing the project.

Is there a filter for specific servers?

Is there a filter for specific servers?

Yes, there’s a list of all servers and meta events, you just switch on whatever combination you like.

Update: just received review feedback from appstore submission, only one minor detail remark regarding an installation link, already corrected and re-submitted. So the Android version should be available in the next days I hope. The Amazon App store ID will be: MXQXTC9OOUZW5 (gw2events). As mentioned, the app will be free.

App is now on the Amazon App Store:
