Blogging from my cell phone, classy...I am on the road, but I will try to download this tonight and review it this weekend. Here is the press release for the meantime. If I had to guess there will likely be an Android version in the works, but don't hold me too that. I will update that as possible.
Also be sure to check out the Thanksgiving Channel Update video and look for Ch. 1 of Skylanders SWAP Force.

So far I have 97 of my collection entered and I have encountered 1 bug. Legendary Lightcore Grim Creeper's Code comes up with the error message Toy not supported - The toy you are trying to unlock is not supported by the application. Also The Rank seems to cap out at 10 (Elite). Other that the issue with Legendary Lightcore Grim Creeper Im loving the app.

Mega Ram Spyro
Super Gulp Pop Fizz
Heavy Duty Sprocket
Big Bang Trigger Happy
Twin Blade Chop Chop
Ninja Stealth Elf
They are all Blue Base Characters. Any idea how to file a bug report with Activision. Their support site doesn't even know this app exists yet.
It doesn't seem to accept the Adventure Packs from Spryo's Adventure or Battle Packs from Giants either, fwiw.

I entered our collection into the app, encountering the same unsupported characters as listed above. They are such basic characters I can't imagine them not correcting this in future app updates. (Personally I thing they were in the middle of production runs on these characters and don't have the full list of serial numbers yet OR the rotation modelling pics/info/etc for each of these did not make the initial release date for the app.
ReplyDeleteAs for the app itself, its pretty snazzy. And for free, I have no complaints. Future improvements I would hope for: manual rearrangement of your characters in the Vault, Manual entry/Overide for "unlisted" variants you have.
Sidenote Prediction: I think the contest End Draw Date represents the release date for Wave 3...
