[APP] Elite Notes, a very simple price recorder for your android device
- Thread starter Jexter
- Start date
I gave this a whirl and I have to say I really like it. It has a nice, clean design and it's easy to use. I love the fact that it requires no special permissions, thanks for that.
I won't be using it anymore though, simply because I have no desire to enter in exact prices. As I said before, all I care to make note of is supply and demand levels and I'm probably in the minority when it comes to that.
For anyone else though, if you're the type of CMDR who wants to know exact prices give it a whirl, it's pretty awesome!

a fix for this issue has been published and should be boosting (4 pips) its way towards your devices as we speak. MEGA THANKS to all CMDRs who helped me locate and squash this bug. I'm keeping the bug description in the OP for now as I'm still awaiting positive reports from users that this is 100% working.

Cheers!
Nice GUI/Aps 
Thank you. The missing feature of others online tools like http://www.elitetradingtool.co.uk/

Looks good. Downloaded, and will test it out this week.
Yeah. Independent.

Works well. Just wish something like this was built in so we didn't need to manually type prices.
Suggestions :
Per station faction as well as per system, to record those pirate outposts
Check boxes for systems to include in trade calcs, so I can exclude those that are too far away. Ideally, the app would do a distance calc based on coordinates and let us filter based on distance, but I don't know how to get system coords.
As an alternative to the above, enter list of systems that can be jumped to from current system, and include a filter for 1 jump trades. Down side would be the extra typing.
Cut off profit limit, to save hundreds of minor trades being listed.
Enter a commodity, get told which price each station buys and sells for. Good if a mission needs, say, algae, to find where to buy. Or if I find myself with a hull full of something and wondering where to sell it.
Click a route and see only trades between those stations. Maybe Palladium is best profit, but if supply gets low, do I have a decent backup along the same route?
Any way to speed up data entry would be great, but I fully expect pointing my phone at the computer screen and having it read the commodity prices to be beyond the scope of the app.

Thanks for the feedback, I will stick it all on the rainy-day list!

oh and obviously thanks to everyone else giving feedback too
Hi, would like to say this is a great app
I would like to see it be able to pick up say .csv files from the SD card or something, i understand this is a pen and paper replacement but it can be a ballache typing it all in to find i made quite a few typos (i have fingers made of bricks when it comes to touchscreen typing on my android phone).

hi dude, love the app, nice an simple, like you say it's pen and paper with ought the smudges lol. this update has deleted all my data though, hopefully just an issue with my tablet but thought I should let you know just on case.
kind regards
ps. have you ever considered adding a hide/show function on the commodity page to hide or show empty commodity fields? just a passing thought as all my data is currently hiding at the moment lol.

Say WHAT? *run off to check*
Yeah thanks for letting me know about the dissapearing data, unfortunately I made a rather huge mistake I've been trying to avoid since the get-go and that is changing the signature of the objects I save to file - the effect of this is it can't read or write to the old files anymore. And I cannot fix it! What this means to someone who has gathered data for several months is just... well, horrific really. All I can do at this point I guess is apologise and move on. So, I'm sorry about that
.
Still, just because you where the first to bring this to my attention your hide-0-price-commodities feature will be the next thing I implement! Cheers. (plus it's a very good idea, which I think others have requested earlier as well).

aw bless, these things happen dude, I'm sure we all appreciate the work you have put into this app, it's such a useful tool! sometimes a clean slate is a good thing, I'm going to use it as an excuse to go back and revisit some old haunts and routes
thanks for looking at the hide-o-price feature (fun name, I like lol) and your continued work on the tool. all the best

That would be really cool although it's kinda out of the scope for now. I am thinking about maybe adding a csv import feature though, given enough time.

This is what I've done so far. Would you like the category names to be visible like they are now or should they be hidden too? Your call
Hehe, morning dude, you really dont hang round, and that looks very smart!
it really looks the business as you have it dude, the visible categories actually break it up nicely, while still allowing the page to be condensed. Im not sure if its doable, but you could always do a compromise, and just show the categorie titles for the items that have a value in the list (although that sounds like it may be more complicated to code than it sounds) either way, this commander will still be happy with the feature if you chose to, include them, exclude them, partly include them.. damn, you could even make the highlights baby pink and id still think it looks great, and show it too friends lol. warm regards. *thanks for asking for feedback, most unexpected, and very kind of you.Only showing category names where there are edited commodities is a great idea, I think that's what we'll do!Hehe, morning dude, you really dont hang round, and that looks very smart!
Asking for input on these things before I release a new version can be a hell of a time saver, might as well do things right the first time off - like currently there are loads of things in the app I could have done better if I actually asked someone first, but as it is those features are in and working 'good enough' so I can't be bothered to do anything about them.
Watch this space, I'll holler when I publish
