Can you see the daily sales and make purchases from it as well?

[Assist]

Not showing up when I look for it on my iPhone! Saw it through the iTunes link tho, odd.

[p0intman]

works on my android emu. \o/

edit: not that useful yet. I would like to see facilities update and actually blink when they're being contested ingame. Also, currently looking at a map of indar, and im seeing only a quarter of the full map render at any given time. problem is, you have to constantly refresh the map. bah.

I wonder if it would be possible to see it added for Kindle Fire too? I doubt it though

[ItZMuRdA]

Very impressed with it so far. It's much more than I expected it to be; extremely comprehensive.

[DirtyBird]

As an app it looks great.
Although the information is out of date just like the website so as soon as that beta finishes it will be a winner.

"MOST KILLS ONE LIFE 2,700"

Seems legit.

[Hamma]

It's pretty good but I was hoping for a more realtime map personally. I couldn't get the map to load on my phone but got it to load on my iPad.

h4x!

Don't think it's compatible with my phone :(
Gonna have to buy a new tablet.

[camycamera]

ABOUT FUCKING TIME

now, where is that mission system you promised?

edit: is it compatible with the iphone 3G?

[Aaron]

Still can't see which empire holds which cont, which makes the territory status information less relevant.

[Micro]

Aaaand, it's not compatible with my Galaxy Gio. :cry: (yes, It's the worst phone evar)

[Falcon_br]

I am using in my iPad 2, it have some nice features, but it really need an integration with the players site, and better weapons stats and organization. You can see your classes, but not your weapons kills and kilboard.
Also, no option to buy items and see the item of the day.
I used the voice chat, but my outfit members were sleeping, need to try it again later.

[Redshift]

is that realtime map available on a webpage somewhere? i'd really like to have a map open on my second monitor ^^

[ringring]

It works fine on my Motorola Zoom.

Excellent stuff.

Wish list ..... graphing stats as they are in the gameo 'Stats' page itself, I'd like this in Planetside Players too. .... also being able to zoom in on the map further.

Gripe .... unpredictability of the data feed, it's been poor recently although maybe that has been because it was being worked on in preparation for this app.

[Athan]

You need a not-so-old Android phone to run the app. My HTC Desire (not HD, yes, I know that's years old now), even with a re-partition to give more phone data space, starts running out of space rapidly once the app is running and downloading data. In other words the devs didn't think it would be a good idea to have the downloaded data go on the SD card (where I have lots of space free).

The app itself installs fine, it's just that huge data grab to 'system data' space that brings my phone to its knees.

[Athan]

A little more information. My phone is set to install to SD card as default and indeed the PS2 Mobile app does respect that (I see 'Move to phone' in the application details, so it's on the SD card, rather than 'Move to SD' if it was on the main phone storage). After only installing, not running yet, it is taking up 5.00MB total/Application and 4.00KB data.

Now I run it and get a sequence of 'Loading <something>' messages at the bottom of the splash screen. I can see it's managing a ~2Mbps download (likely limited by by bandwidth shaping for my WiFi). Now I wait ...

... and wait ...

... and wait ...

ah finally the main page of things. Now the app's details show 24.34MB total, 5.00MB application and 19.34MB data. And my phone's internal storage is down from 55MB free to 32MB free.

Strangely this time, so far, it's actually working, unlike when I first tried it last night. Likely due to differences in other apps' use of system data space.

Now I can actually test it... WTF nothing when I hit my 'menu' button? No settings at all ? Which certainly means no option to store the data on SD card instead. Oh my god the slow scrolling. Aha, and after logging in, selecting my main character, and merely trying to scroll the list up and down a bit... Force Close. Yes, I'm filling in a report.

[NewSith]

LOL, it's unavailable in Russian iTunes... Go-go SOE.

Nevertheless, skyexile is on the frontpage of the app... Gratz!

[Blynd]

Doesn't work o a blackberry :(

[zirakaji]

Unavailable in your country.
Thanks SOE!

Some questions:

1. Does this App provide any information not availible on Players.PLanetside2.com or PLanetside2.com?

2. Are you able to access ingame comms such as VOIP and chat?

3. Are they going to make available a web browser version?

VOIP yes, there's an option although I haven't tested it. Other than that I think it's no to the first and I doubt it to the second.

With a nexus 7 and a galaxy nexus running 4.2.2 it loads but can't do any searches or login and that's with 3g,4G and wifi

[RSphil]

looks good so far. work son my ipad and android phone. i agree with Hamma though, was hoping the map would refresh it's self and be up to date. also would like full full screen for map with out the planetside 2 logo or boarders ect. bar this it is pritty good. like how you can watch twitch streams on my phone nice and easy. gets me through work lol.

[Climhazzard]

Doesn't seem to work on my Motorola Droid 3, unfortunately. It'll load, but anything I do causes it to switch to a black screen, hang, or crash outright.

I managed to get the Stats page to load once, but then it crashed when I tried to switch to another page.

[TuftyIndigo]

I should add: if you have an Android device and want to see your PSU sig on your home screen or lock screen, you can do this with an app called Showr (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shadowburst.showr)

[ringring]

If you log in on the app and get a message like 'This account has no characters' plus PSU's stats fro your char is lately wrong and similar on the planetside players site, I have this too; I've reported it to SOE and I've received a reply saying that it's a known issue and the're working on it.

So, a wee bit more patience is required.

Ain't compatible with my Galaxy Gio. :(

It's real time on the players site under world status but only when logged in so I've heard.

[WNxThentar]

Can't log into either of my accounts

[Emerszi]

You can put this on Kindle Fire, if you can get the .apk file. Can't find one, though, and don't have an android phone.

[Kozmyk]

Do the Alerts show on the app anywhere?
I haven't found them yet if they do.
Could me me though 8^)

[camycamera]

hey, remember a while back when they said the app will allow you to talk to guys ingame or something? is that in there?

[Rahabib]

not sure. the app is so slow I gave up trying to do anything. (Galaxy Nexus).

[LeilaniRock]

Still unable to log into my account via the app

Half the time I can't login to my account. The other half the app loads so slowly that it's worthless.

Yes, it's in there.
