Looking good there. Question though, it says to tap there for "Ranking" but the inverted word says Progress again. Shouldn't it be an inverted "Ranking" there instead?

Both the "Kit/Vehicle Advancement" and "Ranking and General Stars" are part of the Progress tab. Both the main titles are the same, but the subtitles (smaller white text on black bar) are different.

Definitely a good point though. I may change it in a future version.

I was going to ask for a free key but the app looks awesome so i just went ahead and bought it. keep up the good work guys.

Thanks Sam. Saw you online today. You sniped me a couple times!

Also, there is a 1.2 update pending approval from Apple. Here's what's new:
- Added Star progress in the Progress sections: See how close you are to the next star for each weapon and gadget.
- Added navigation option: You can now TAP the orange header (as well as flip device) to change the view.
- Revised Stats section: Now shows a multi-checkmark if you have more than one gold star for that item.
- Plus other stuff.

Some screenies:





I also have a couple more promo codes. Just reply here if you want one.

Thanks maester, check your PM for a promo code.

Also, I just submitted the 1.1 update to the AppStore. Still pending approval from Apple, but here's what's in it:

- Added SPECTACT DLC content (4 new insignias, 8 new pins, 4 new weapons)
- Added details of dogtags you have taken, as well as dogtag search
- Added clan tag info
- Added last seen online date and server name (PC only)
- Added vehicle score and vehicle class stars
- Revised gadget stats to show repairs, revives and motion sensors thrown
- Revised sync to update both primary and versus profile data, if versus is enabled
- Stats and award changes based on user feedback

More app updates to come, but I thought that would be decent for 1.1. Thanks again to everyone for all the feedback. Oh and also here are two more promo codes: JWKF9NF3FPMW or LTTTFPY7AT4H (again, it's 1-time use only, first come first served).

No problem, you made a good point. I think that iPhone apps in general aren't for everyone. This app in particular will only cater to a small subset of iPhone users and BC2 players. I made this app with my friends mainly because:

1. It was lots of work but really fun to make something useful that our entire clan/friends could use. Seeing people use the things you make is pretty sweet.
2. There wasn't any such app when we started the project (now there's a few in the AppStore to check out).
3. I just like making stuff.*

Hope that makes sense. In terms of the app, people can feel free to tell me what other features they'd like and I can see about fitting it in. Thanks for all the replies.

*Admins can take this out if it's too self-promo, but I have a bunch of random projects on my blog: http://eliotche.com/ . Also, here's another 1-time promo code for BF:BC2 Stats: K4PPXELYMEYT .. heh! (i'll still be giving a few more out randomly to the people who responded with their fav kit, this weekend).

Thank you.

I also did not realize you made it yourself, cheers.

Someone has to be the cynic. At least I do it logically, and you don't have to rebuttle to everything I say.

Now, the reason I asked (very politely as I might add) is because I didn't see the point of it... can you deal with that?

I wrote a nice long post here taking you to task on some of your previous posts in other threads about being negative towards other members and new members. Lets not muddy this thread about etiquette. Go over to the Reached a personal Goal - KDR 1+ thread if you need some insight. But, lets take it out of someone else's thread.

Why rattle off on someone that put the time and effort into creating a tool. Don't be a tool about it. Besides, this person making this app looks like they made a nice clean product. I'm glad to see someone put effort out there like this and it is better to encourage people to create instead.

And what makes this a kinda nice tool to have is because some of us adults that work in the business world can not go out to gaming websites and talk with our co-workers about what happened the night before. So, when we can pull up stats on our phones we can say...oh, I'm going to work towards this award because I'll finally get this unlock, etc. It does not really come down to awards whoring, it is more about being able to talk about the statical information when we are sitting at lunch or on break.

This.
It is a helpful tool developed for different people for different circumstances. Some people may not like it however there are similar apps to this (such as the WoW armory) which i presume (judging by the number of players) is very popular.

Thank you Archie-a9z for sharing this with the community. I'm sure those codes went to a couple of very happy members already.
