FFXIV Android Companion Application

[thedevilsjester]

Crafting recipes are the only thing I look up. So recipe trees would be nice.

This is primarily the reason I wish to develop this app.

My hobby is making games and software, I don't know much about apps but maybe I could help out.

There are many aspects, both development and others that could use help, I will post here when I start recruiting.

Market Wards inventory, like the ffxiah app.

As nice as such a feature would be, I do not know how, or if, this is possible for FFXIV.

No iOS ?

Sorry, nothing much against iOS (I did some games for that platform too, once upon a time), I just no longer have an iOS devices to test/develop with nor do I have a Mac (anymore) to develop in.

Heya!

I was going to do something for Android, just to traain my Java mind.
I can help making a NM Tracker, that displays a Google Maps-like Map of every Eorzea zone and placing targets on it, with the Options toast to choose which NM to track (low/high).
We can join forces and make the best FFXIV App ever!

I have extensive Java experience and have developed a few applications and games for Android, but I could always use the help (It will definitely make things go a bit faster). I will post here once I have an actual project started and recruit people to the cause.

Then when we have the app done, we can iOS/Windows Phone 7 it!

Windows Phone 7 user here

Damn, now I want to learn how to build for Windows Phone 7...

It seems that a good fraction of the people posting here have WP7 devices, but as it stands the WP7 platform has only a tiny fraction of the market share and even that is declining* so I do not currently have a development device for WP7, though this may change in the future if the numbers turn around right now the only way for this to happen is if I recruit developers that have WP7 (and iOS) devices to port the application to.

There already is ffxiv guide which has a database of recipies but its now getting outdated

FFXIV Guide is what I have currently on my Android phone but it has pretty much (by the developers admission) been more or less abandoned and is, as you stated outdated, as well as lacking in content. This (at its core) is more or less the type of app I am going for, but with more features, updated content, and a better UI (with maybe a widget or two...)
