Noticed I get quite a few views on my blog regarding the iPhone application. I believe we’ve agreed on the name “Skillwatch” Capsuleer, but that doesn’t mean it won’t change between now and release.

Core app functionality is complete. Now we’re just working through a few bugs. The UI has been fully implemented, with just a view visual tweaks remaining.

So, what does the app do?

v1.0 will:

– Show you time remaining on your currently training skill, or let you know if you are not training a skill.
– Your total ISK
– Your total SP
– Allows you to add as many characters as you want through the standard EVE api
– Automatically generates a racial background image based on your character’s race. This can optionally be turned off
– Skill description of currently training skill

There are a few more things (some of which you can see on the screenshot) that we are trying to get into version one, but if they don’t make it in, they’ll be added to version two:

– Tranquility server status indicator
– Aura voice announcing “Skill Training Completed”
– Ability to choose your own background picture for your character
– Your currently cloned SP amount
– and much, much more I won’t go into now!

Hopefully the alpha build will be finished tonight. That means some testing, some more tweaking, and hopefully we’ll have this out on the app store soon(tm).

Remember, ISK donations are welcome.
