Free Battle Beast collection app on iPhone Options

[zfisher323]

Hi guys! First time posting (I've just created an account, actually). I wanted to let everyone know I've written a free app for the iPhone/iPod that is a simple checklist for Battle Beasts (and Laser Beasts). First of all, I wanted to thank the users of this site for helping provide the information (there is a lot of them out there!). Secondly, I wanted to encourage anyone with an iPhone or iPod to download it and let me know what you think. I will happily incorporate changes and update the database if requested. Finally, I want to make sure everyone knows I'm not interested in stealing traffic from this site (in fact, I reference this site on every picture in the app and hope to drive traffic here). I just thought it would be cool to have this information on an iPhone. The app is free. There are small banner ads, but I feel pretty certain they won't generate enough revenue to even pay for the $100 it cost to put the app in the store!

Thanks,
Zack

Kickass! really like the idea,
and also noticed " Price reduced to FREE! "
for an app for M.U.S.L.E.'s too,better yet . .

What other figure lines are you looking at building checklists for? We have collectors of lots of different lines here, and we're always looking to get more. Also, many of us are fanatical completeists, trying to get all the sculpts of lines like Monster in my Pocket, Boglins minis, and M.U.S.C.L.E in each availible color. Will the muscle checklist get seperate listing for each color?

Thank you for showing us those apps are out there!

I've gone into some more detail on the MUSCLE thread, but I'm definitely interested in throwing together a few more, especially if I can get some help with database entry. The hardest part is coming up with:

Accurate checklist
Standard looking images (all same background color, etc)
Official name and number of figure
Permission to use the images!

If there are any that are requested and people will help gather the data, I'll be happy to publish them. I'd love to do a mimp one and a handful of heroes one.

Any requests?

Oh, any colors for muscle should be out in 1.3 if I can figure out how to do it without slowing down the app. I'd rather keep it in one app, but a separate app for each color may be the easiest way to go.... I hadn't thought of that before!

Also, if I can get permission from Naochin, I'll do a kinnikuman one ( as long as I can get some help creating that super long XML file!)

Again great apps!!

My suggestion for the BB app would be a check box or slider to denote whether or not you have the weapon ( cuz I'm too lazy to write it in comments lol)

Thanks again!!

Liz, are you thinking something like the attached image? I lose a bit of space for the wave (so greek and gumball end up showing in a smaller font) but I'm not sure where else to put it. I suppose usability is more important than aesthetics... let me know if that works and I'll send the update to Apple (unless there are other recommendations first!)

Can you make it iPad compatible? I searched for Battle Beasts in the app store and nothing came up.

Bro all of your apps are incredible! The changes to the BB app are sheer genius! Looking forward to your future checklists!
