Hi all,

I have been working on an android app that will allow you to keep track of the scenarios and modules that you have played or have run for PFS. You can quickly check by typing part of its name on the search bar.

You can use options to refine your search by season # or to only show the scenarios you have played/run. You can sort the list by season or by scenario name.

You can go to Google Play and search for Pathfinder PFS. It is free and has no ads!

Feel free to give me any feedback and any suggestiosn you might have!


Is there any way to download it to my home cmoputer and put it on my tablet later ? The link wants to install only.


I tried to find out if that was possible from google play, but it doesn't seem to be the case. :(

Would you be able to download it directly from your tablet?

It looks handy. I'll make the same suggestion here I made about the Ontario PFS folks booklet for this purpose: when you're looking for something to play, it's really handy to have the character levels displayed as well as the scenario title.

Just briefly scrolled through it, but it looks like it will be handy. I'll have to download multiple copies for me and my wife to keep track of our separate games. Only suggestion I have is to move the scenario numbers to the right a little bit. Right now they're flush up against the edge and a little difficult to read that way.


My tablet doesn't arrive until Monday. I don't have wireless at home, I'll have to buy a new device.

Thanks for the feedback!

JhonF,
I have added the tier for each scenario. I saw a couple of tiers greater than 12 which seemed odd to me. Also, "Ace for the Runecarved Key" has tier 12+ which I am not entirely sure what it means and I am currently not taking into consideration when searching by tier (I just treat it as tier 1-12). Would you be able to shed some light into it :)? I started playing PFS recently so I am unfamiliar with some of these things.

Eric,
I didn't have that issue in the phones I tested but I modified the layout so hopefully that would fix your issue. Please let me know if it does.

Geroblue,
If you can't download it from Google Play send me an email and I can reply by sending you the file.

Reading Eric's comment I am wondering if it would be useful to have player profiles in case the app needs to be shared by more than one player for whatever reason. What do you guys think?

I can see where that would be useful. While my wife and I could each run a single-user copy on our phones, we do share use of one tablet.

But in the (hypothetical) ideal case I'd suggest something even beyond personal profiles; it would be nice to have a way to see which modules were available for play to both of us. Ideally I'd like to be able to filter the list so it only showed me modules that were available for me to play, and at the same time also have a way of distinguishing between modules neither of us had played and modules which my wife had played but which I had not. My wife, of course, would like to see a similar display with the roles reversed. And families (or groups) with more that two players would have even more complicated options to consider.

P.S. What platform & IDE do you use for app development? I'm contemplating putting together a couple of utilities myself, but I haven't yet come to any firm conclusions on what software to use.

This is a good ap. I appreciate you wanting and even doing this!!

The good is what you have done with it thus far and adding the tiers to it was a nice touch.. thanks!

Now for my things I "think" might make it better speech hehe.

Having the ability to filter by date would be a good thing too. (yes I know it is a lot to ask but as a coordinator it is kind of important for me :) ). Being able to enter the date would be cool of the times I GMed and Played or both.
Having it tally the numbers up of the amounts that have been played/GMed.

If you do have it so that you can add character profiles, can you make it so that you can import profiles as well? For instance if as a coordinator being about to import my GM's information for my event that I am running in what they have played/ran would be a good thing.

Having a hard line in between seasons and their release dates for the scenario's might be a good idea that way as a GM/Player I can at a glance see when they came out or are coming out.

Being able to lock it in and then edit it only after unlocking it manually so that you don't accidentally hit one of the checked boxes.

Thanks for doing all of this and I hope I am not asking to much of ya! :)
I hope that the above might be a little useful for all of us? At least it is a hope hehe.
Thanks!


Ah... I have to let it charge for 8 hours before first use. urk.

Anyway, deltas I have pmed you.

Thanks.

Just a note on using our trademarks (such as the titles of scenarios and the registered trademark "Pathfinder Society"), you should make sure you are following the terms of the Community Use Policy. Because you're not making money on this app, you should be able to abide by those terms with the addition of the requisite legal text explaining that you're using trademarks owned by Paizo and directing users to the CUP itself.


Thanks for the feedback!
It has been extremely helpful! I will be adding some of the features as times allows me.

I have been dealing with some real life events which haven't allowed to work on the app as much as I wanted to. and it might continue for the next few weeks.

The feature I am currently working on is profiles. You will be able to export/import them as well. It will come with a few more features so keep tuned!

Mark,
Thanks for the information. I will add the legal text as soon as I can!

I am hoping to have an update ready next week.

Btw, where can I find out when a new scenario is released so I can update the app accordingly?

Hopefully at some point you'll port this to iOS as I plan on upgrading to an iPhone later this year.


I managed to release the update last night, and another quick one today.
You can now have different players on the same app and you can keep track of each player's characters. I also added the lock/unlock button so you don't accidentally click something you didn't mean to.

Going forward I will be doing smaller updates when appropriate since trying to do a mayor update didn't quite work (I didn't get in all the things I wanted to).

I have thought about iOS but I don't own any apple products at the moment to test. Once thins slow down around here I will take a look at it and see what I can do.

Is this app going to be updated at all? It's fairly handy, but hasn't been updated in almost a year now. Without more recent scenarios, it's usefulness is quite limited.

I love your app and hope you return to it.
