Elite Dangerous IOS App

Just curious to know if there are any plans to improve / enhance the app. What it does it great, albeit very limited. Would be nice if the app remembered its logon details for example.

Anyone have any news on this. Would be great to see it get some love.

Cheers

Access Starport Services, track your Pilot status and keep up to date with the latest Galnet news, but the starport details are for the starport you are at only

I have a problem with mine, since I upgraded to a type 7, as its not in its allowed ships the status page no longer updates with my commander details. :(
Hopefully it will be updated soon.

How about launching it for Android and/or Windows first before tweaking the iOS version.

Because it will honestly just lead to yet another thread war on how FD need to do more, answer to their players, fix it or I leave etc.

All it does is show you the station commodity list and give the most basic overview of some of the ships. It really is of limited value (bit it looks pretty and feels part of the game)

For mine it's like so:
- Android
- Fix log in
- Galnet news
- expand stats to mirror in game
- show expanded stats (exploration data, kill types, fav trades etc)
- show ships
- show Galaxy map

Anyway, here is the real reason:

Hi everyone,

Following up on our plan to investigate support for third party apps utilising game and player information we’re starting with the requirements capture. In this thread we will compile the wish list for the types of data people would like to see available from an API available to external apps. If you have a specific app in mind then that can make a useful test case to accompany the data requirements – it’s always useful to see real world examples of how the data is to be used.

This same process will also help guide our plans for our own apps and so we’re pausing development of expansion of the Android and Windows Phone versions of our existing Companion App until this process is complete.

Please note that this thread isn’t about discussing the merits of third party apps.

We’ll leave this thread open until February 16th. After this point we’ll review the information and put together our initial proposal. This will cover two aspects: the first is the technical design for the API and the second is the procedure for using this data. During this process we’ll also invite people based on participation in thread and other communications to form a small working group.

When the proposal is ready the private group will provide feedback on the plan, and will go on to assist in testing the system and the associated procedures as appropriate when we enter development of the API.

We’ll keep you informed as we progress and thanks in advance for your participation in this!
