Q: Is it possible to add support for other games?
A: Yes, stats checking for additional games can be added, but it depends on the popularity of the game. Stats from the game must be publicly available, best by website or API, and may not require logging in to account.
If you want me to add support for some game. send me a message, please post a link to the profile and the info what stats should be showed.
Q: On what mobile phones dStats Check is available?
A: App is written in HTML5 with JavaScript using jQuery Mobile library and Phonegap, so it should work on all supported platforms.
Currently app is available for: Symbian S60 (WRT), Android, WebOs, Bada, iOS.
Q: Why I should export my profiles to web database?
A: App is saving user settings and games profiles on phone with html5 LocalStorage, browser cookies, or widget.setpreferences depending on system.
On some phones actualizing app clears these settings so you would lose them, thanks exporting you can easily restore them from our database. Your setting are assigned to phone UUID\IMEI that is unique.
Q: Can profile tab be more graphical\image based?
A: Because of used technology, diversity of systems (limitations in the ability to save data) profiles tab will not be changed.
Style based entirely on the images, forces to download images every time, that would impact on user comfort and would increase data that need to be downloaded.
We are not affiliated with games publishers, so we can not use their graphics in this application.
In future it's possible that some special version of dGS will be available with more graphical style.
Q: Would it be possible to show more stats from particular game?
A: As mentioned above there are some limitations in storing data so keep that in mind, but with some titles additional stats can be showed, just say which.
Q: What about amount of sent data? How many Kilobytes dGS use?
A: If you want to refresh images\avatars you should use WiFi connection because sometimes images are realy heavy (CSS sprites), and they can eat many KB.
Remember that not all games have public API for fetching stats, so dGS sometimes is forced to download a web page with your profile - it's takes much more KB than special API, no additional style files, or images are downloaded - they aren't needed.
Exactly: API will eat few KB mostly 1 to 5KB, while webpages are around 20-100KB, per profile. Of course there are also images, that can be 10KB to even 500KB, but mostly they are optimized. So more profiles = more KB need to be downloaded.
Q: What was the cause to made such app?
A: I needed a simple app to check my stats after some events in Bloodwars game, without need to log in game.
So if app can check stats from one game, why don't add other games? ;-)
Q: Is there version without ads?
A: This app - dStats Check is available only with ads. But there is posiible that we will made much more complex app, for selected platforms (iOS, Android, WebOS) without some limitations.
Q: If you have any problems, questions contact me.
