New Tool from Blizz
by Santyn on Jul.16, 2009, under Tools
If you have an iPhone or iTouch, then head on over to the App Store and download Blizzard’s new official WoW Armory App. It’s a quick download (even over an Edge network), and best of all, it’s free. WoW.com has a short write-up about it here along with a gallery of screen shots.
Once you have the app and start it up, you will need to login with your WoW/Battle.net login info. You can optionally have the app remember your info to skip this step the next time you open the app. Once in, you are presented with every bit of information about all of your characters that you would normally find on the Armory. Browse gear, search for other players, check out your guild, and even look at each of your toons calendar, with the option to accept or decline events. Also included is a talent calculator and an item browser.
After playing with it some, I have to say that I am really impressed with the app. The app is responsive, with no noticable lag (so far). I was a bit skepticle when Blizz started shutting down the third party apps that I used to use on my iPhone, but I am glad to see them release a worthy replacement.
I’m not going to go into any more detail here, better if you go ahead and check it out for yourself. Once you, be sure to come back and leave your impressions of the app in the comments.
