Android app?

Hi,

Is there any word on possibly creating an android app related to STO? It would be really cool to access the c-store or even my character screen. Just to keep in touch with the game when you're not near a computer. Maybe even just a simple version of the exchange to track items that are, or that you have listed.

    I think it would be better as a mobile accessible website. Then as long it does not use flash It should be accessible from any mobile OS with internet connection.

    This times about a trillion!

    I would LOVE to be able to sit at work and manage my DOffs all day.

    And yes, I would be willing to pay for it.

    Yeah for a Doff or Character app!

    A journal that you could access in game, and via the app would be great also.

    /facepalm for the C-Store app :p

    Before I post my response to this comment I will say sorry now for the following comments as I'm about to forget I'm a nice person really :P ;

    This REALLY gets under my skin, why for golds?? what is so special about being gold??

    If they bring in a phone app it should be for EVERYONE not people who think they deserve better treatment or think they are more elite because they sub or are life time :mad:

    I am sick and tired of seeing "for golds" on these forums, as you can plainly see by my name, I am a lifer and you know what... I DON'T THINK I AM SPECIAL OR DESERVE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.

    I decided to pay a lump sum 2 years ago, that was my choice. It does not entitle me to treat free players like lesser human beings or worse gamers. Same goes for everyone else, you choose to pay a lump sum or pay monthly - you are not better and do not deserve more than what you agreed to pay for when you paid over that money.

    Silver players are making use of the C-Store, it is bringing money into the game so Cryptic can pay staff to make it better ( I hope :P ) The only people who deserve more of anything around here is Silver players and they deserve more respect from Gold players, shown mainly by NOT POSTING REQUEST FOR GOLD ONLY FEATURES AND MAKING SILVERS FELL LESS VALUABLE TO THE GAME BECAUSE THE REQUESTS !

    Sorry... Didn´t mean it like that... ofcourse it should be for everyone. But if you are a goldmemeber maybe it can be included in the monthly fee, and for silver player that choose to, if there is a demand that you pay for the app, they can do so. If not, free for everyone is always the best.

    Yes very true. But we will never see this as there is no way to fund it and get a financial return from it. if we see it, there will be a c-store subscription cost to it which will suck big time. I really liked the Captains section on the website, and the Log - even though it was broken. They could not even fix that feature and opted to just remove the link from the site.

    Actually, if the price was reasonable, I'd consider paying a monthly fee for a DOFF app.

    I think more people than we think would be willing to do that. even more so as long as more content is being added...

    I wouldn't mind an extra couple bucks added to the monthly for a DOff app.

    I believe this gets down to a license issue, as in can they do it with the license they have, I can't remember the exact answer and therefore can be wrong but I thought, this wasn't part of the "current" license, and they would be looking at it.

    Personally I'd rather they put the time energy and money into the game, where the bang for the buck, would be more worthwhile to more people.

    just my thoughts at least.

    Last I heard, they want to make one, but as Kyuui said, they don't have the licence. I seem to recall something being said about potentially 'seeking' a licence, but I can't support that with links.

    It would be great to DOff on the go - but it might reduce the number of people logging in. I know whenever I log in just to DOff I often get sidetracked with other parts of the game and people. If I was just DOffing via mobile device, maybe I wouldn't be spending as much time in game.

    They should have a free version and a paid for version though. With some significant difference between them.

    Namely, premium access for gold accounts to bring some value back to subscribers.

    I personally would love an Android App that lets you play the Exchange (trading items for Energy Credits) part of STO !

    I really think that they should apply for the licence. If they just understood how many that are willing to pay a few extra bucks fit, then they would do it tomorrow. Potential monymaker. Just look at this thread. All want and most are willing to pay.

    This for the win.

    Exchange would be nice also.

    There is a STO app out there that will notify you when the server comes back up. Downloaded it 2 years ago but I don't use it. That's just an fyi 8)

    Normally I agree with you. However I do feel that subscribers who continue to pay a monthly fee should have some feature that makes that monthly fee truely worth while. That really isn't the case anymore and it should be.

    What gets under my skin is people who feel non-subscribers should have everything handed to them on a silver (pun intended) platter. Absolutely not, the money a gold member puts out every month should entitle him or her to a lot more than what Cryptic currently offers. If an Android app were made available, it should have limited functionality for silvers.
