iPhone App

We really need an iPhone app. I'd like to know the status of my character while I'm not near my computer (which currently is at work and didn't bring it home after playing yesterday).

I know there's WoW Apps for the iPhone to let players know their stats--we really need one for the iPhone.

    Hey now, don't forget the Droids.

    I'd like a server status app.

    Okay for example, I put a whole bunch of stuff on the exchange. I would like to know what sold when it sold, sure I can log onto here and read my email but I'd rather have an app for that...

    I'm currently in a holding pattern until I get enough $cash for some major upgrades... :)

    wait what, you need your phone to tell you when you've sold something?

    that seems completley pointless to me, i could understand it for eve because your skill training is real time but do you really need an app to tell you when you've sold something?

    It would be nice to at least have a mobile version of this site. I post on a few forums using my blackberry from time to time.

    I've thought of this as well. I'm personally hoping Cryptic releases something similar to WoW's Armory, because if they do I will look into making an app for mail checking + browsing characters on that. Personally though, I'm far too busy as the moment to make an app just to check mail, which can be done through Safari.

    It's not an extra app really, it's just a mobile version of the website that's easier to read on a small screen and omits things like flash that most phones do not support properly. Doing an app would take too much dev time and limit accessibility to a select number of phones. But a mobile website would be multi-platform

    I've always been pro iphone/droid Sto app. Wow's app is very well done however thats after pooling years of data. Sto could have something like this but it will take awhile. But starting simple with a server status and mobile version of the Sto website could be a good start.

    An iphone app could include have server status, ship stats, weapons and armor. Maps, Lore, your characters/ships current gear, fleet info, Sto website mobile version to check our mail and post on forums.

    So far websites like sto-intel and stowiki are doing a fantastic job pooling some great game data would be great if they could get someone who knows how to make iphone apps to work with them.

    The only useless thing I can think of to do on iPhone is to show people your character. They could do that. It could generate publicity and get people wanting to buy it. People love to show off their stuff.
