You should consider using it as it would mean you wouldn't need to push an update every time SE does.

Just a note from experience if you use that API you're best of implementing a caching system to build a database during parse. I run a site that uses this API to display lists of achievements, and it uses almost 700mb bandwidth a day just downloading data from yg XD. No experience in phone apps but could be a thing to consider.

As awesome that an app would be, I would suggest on holding off on doing anything time intensive as the game will be undergoing large changes making any apps possibly non-functional by the time they are finished with the big changes. Just my opinion though, I'd hate to see someone sink a good chunk of time into a awesome app to only have it busted by a update somehow.

Unless it becomes a hello kitty racing game, there wont be much drastic changes, at least non you cant just go patch XD.

just give me an app that can access and brows Yellow Goblin and I would be a happy man.
