What is SC2 Tips?
SC2 Tips is an Android/iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad app that contains a collection of the best tips known to the SC2 community. Our team, Ambitious Beavers, read through hundred of tips from numerous sources, filtered out the best ones, verified them for accuracy, and took in game screenshots to show proper execution.
Why would I want an app containing information that is readily available on TL and other websites?
What we’ve found is that there are literally hundreds of tips scattered across various webpages. These sources are either too distributed or contain a list that is too long for anyone to sensibly read through, process, and learn from. And worst of all, many of these tips are inaccurate or outdated due to new patches. Our goal in creating SC2 Tips is to have a central place for practical and up-to-date tips that are useful to the community.
About SC2 Tips
The tips are categorized into General, Protoss, Terran, and Zerg tabs for easy navigation. You can add any tip to your Favorites tab or email them to a friend to share. Swipe back and forth to go between tips or double tap for a random tip.
We’ve spent many hours reading and filtering out the best and most useful tips, and poured in countless hours taking in game screenshots to show proper execution. We’ve tried our best to make the app intuitive and easy to use. We’ll also continue to add new tips and update the current ones based on the latest patches to make sure you’ll always have the best and most up to date tips.

I think it is great what you guys are doing. Only thing is that I do not think many will buy this app as the community can't be completely sure this app contains reliable information. Also, future patches could affect some tips. Maybe this as a free app would have been excellent.
|
Agreed unless we have heard that it has reliable updating etc then paying for it may be worthwhile
|
I agree with the comments above, unfortunately i think it would be better use as a free app because i couldnt justify the price over something which i could go to the 1000 tips thread and see for myself. And as said above, patch notes and without people being able to trust in you updating it

great idea, but i dont have an iOS 
any chance of an android version anytime soon?

All tips in the app have be verified for accuracy.
Also, you can be assured that we'll keep the app updated based on the latest patches. Everyone on Ambitious Beavers is very passionate about SC2. We follow the progaming scene very closely and play SC2 almost on a daily basis.

The 1000 tips thread is a great reference, but unfortunately the list is so massive that few people bother to read through all the tips. And even if they did, it's very time consuming to process and extract out the useful tips from the not so useful ones. There are also several inaccurate and out of date tips in there.
And as mentioned in the above reply, we're very passionate about Starcraft 2 and the progaming scene. We'll keep the the app up to date and add in additional tips with each update. We'll also be adding in Heart of the Swarm tips once that's released.

We definitely have an Android version planned, but everything depends on the community feedback. If people like what we've done, then we'll expand to Android and other platforms. But if there is little interest in our app, then there isn't a strong incentive for us to develop for other platforms.

Great idea! I'd be more than happy to pay a dollar for it. However, you should note that blizzard has shut down people who charged money for apps about their games, specifically wow. while I support your right to try and make a buck off this, that's something you should watch out for.
Anyways, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support Mr Showtime.
We also have a few other SC2 related apps planned. We hope to continue developing SC2 related apps full time and really appreciate your support!

We'll keep the Playbook in mind if the app proves popular.

How many tips are there currently?

80 tips right now, all with in game screenshots. We'll also add more tips with each update.

This is a great idea, I would definitely buy this app if it was available for Android, I hope you guys are able to expand to there one day. =)

You if you guys developed this on something like the Rhodes framework then developing it on all major smart phones would be a breeze. Also with a RhoSync server it's super easy to push updated information to the applications. Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion aike. We also just found out about PhoneGap today, which does something similar to what you're suggesting. We'll look into it in the coming days/weeks.

Replies like these will definitely help in getting an Android version. If a lot of people ask for it, we'll put off work on our next app and focus on getting an Android version of SC2 Tips out ASAP.
