Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Apple have just approved “Identified Dye” – an app that allows you to sort, search, filter and preview Dyes in GW2. It also shows the color differences for different types of armor, and fetches the up-to-date price of the Dye on the Trade Post.

Identified Dye is free.

This is the second of many iPhone apps I have in the works, and for anyone interested in creating their own, I’ve also released a framework for iOS which interfaces with Anet’s new APIs which can be found at; http://tinyurl.com/durmandpriory (keep in mind that a framework is a continuous work in progress, as is Anet’s API).

Also take a look at Stonemist, an app to track real-time WvW scores – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/fangen/iPhone-app-Stonemist-Realtime-WvW-scores/first#post2183750

Thanks,
Parthis.

Thanks to the hundreds of people who’ve downloaded this. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to throw them at me. Identified is and always will be free.

Reviews and feedback on the Appstore are always appreciated.

Any idea whether you can make this for android too and drop it in Google Play?

kindle would be pretty nice too; i often have my kindle by my computer for reading during down time/gw2lfg

Hey chaps. I have no intention to put one together for Android any time soon (as honestly, I don’t overly enjoy developing for Android, I’m an iOS developer by trade). But the API is open, so if any android developer would like to put one together i’ll happily bundle up the assets i’ve made and help out with how it works.

Ok, thanks for taking the time to answer

Identified Dye has now been downloaded 500 times – thank you!

Whenever I make a free little app for a community, game or for fun I set it a download target before coming back to it to add a new feature or two. The logic is simple; if enough people like it then it’s worth improving, and if only a small number of people like it then it’s cool if it doesn’t get new features as those people got exactly what they wanted in the first place.

Identified Dye’s target was 500 downloads, so, i’ll spend a little time adding a new feature or two next week.

The next new feature is one that i’ve wanted for a while; I want it to tell me when it finds a dye i’ve not seen before. For example, a living story patch establishes a new set of dyes – I want to know about them ASAP.

If you have an idea for a feature you’d like to see added please let me know.

I was thinking it might be nice to be able to set a “when this dye drops below this price on the TP, tell me” prompt… but that’s kind of a feature of the new app i’m working on at the moment…

Oh btw, one of my friends is part of your guild I think. Johnny, goes under character name Slideshow.
