I don't have an iPhone, but this is very cool! Well done, KK!
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
I have downloaded it for my iPad just to show support.

Kitsune, I'd be interested to know what your surprise feature is.
Thanks!

At the start of 2011, I wrote most of the code for an Android version. Only thing really missing was finishing up the UI (and making it not look like a foot)... I determined that the only thing that I've ever worked with that made writing UIs more painful was desktop Java.|

I'm pretty sure I still have the code somewhere... I might revisit it, especially since in a couple months I'm going to be having to write some Android apps anyways. :

Okay, might as well spill it, since it looks like it'll be delayed a little bit (woo Google doing upgrades
). The feature would be to allow you to select servers to subscribe to, so that the next time they came back up, a notification would be pushed to your phone (nearly) instantly notifying you! Ideal for morning and emergency maintenance!

...iOS...
EVIL!!! APPLE IS EEEEEEVIIIIIIIIL!!!
In summary, I hate Apple. Cool app though. Hope it gets ported to Android.

If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.

I was wondering what the point of this app is considering I could just set a bookmark for the status page on my home screen. The notification feature definitely makes it worth it for me.

Cool. i understand that Android can be harder to code for than iOS, but i do appreciate the possibility of an Android version coming out since that's what my current phone uses.|

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
this should be stickied or something :P
DL'ed for my iPod Touch 4G w/5.0+. Works just fine and is quite a bit handier than the Safari shortcut to the status page. I like being able to filter only for the servers I am active on. Good job, Kat!

Oh yes! Sorry I should have said this as well.|

Awesome, thanks for this Kat.

See that big red delete button?
It doesn't JUST delete the server from the app list. Once enough people click it, poof!
Kitsune does play villains, after all....

Na, that was already in 1.0. I even said as much... why do you think I had Freedom selected? |

Since the dawn of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun. While I can not come before you today and profess that I have destroyed the sun, I have, in fact, done the next best thing. What I have done is a wonder unlike any other... I have created an incantation that will allow your two way communicator (long as it begins with a lowercase "i") to instantly, and effortless view the status of all the City of Heroes servers!
City Status is an app for iOS (not tested it on any < 5.0 devices, if anyone has one and it doesn't work let me know!) that lets you view the status of all (NA & EU) servers. It's perfect for those mornings where you get up, thinking you're going to get in some early Heroing/Villaining, only to be greeted with the red letters of doom, as the servers shut down! Now you can go about doing other things, and simply glance at your phone to find out if they're up!
Some screen shots:
A list of servers with several hidden.
"Edit" mode, with Defiant being moved to the hidden list (nothing personal!).
Freedom being deleted.
I'm already hard at work on a new feature that I think a lot of people will like (I'll let it be a surprise for now!), but if anyone has any feature requests, feel free to post 'em.
Download it from the App Store today! Or else!!!!!
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
