Cantr II Discussion Forum

Hey!

I've always been missing a mobile alternative for Cantr Spy. I've been spending a lot of time playing Cantr on my phone, or just travelling without my notebook running, with no way to know when new events appear, other than repeated refreshing of the game page. And what do you do when something you need doesn't exist? You create it! Or it's just me..

Here come's CantrEye, a mobile alternative for Cantr Spy.



It's a simple app that lets you receive notifications about new events on your Cantr account. It's quite simple right now, but easy to develop and add features (as far as my IT skills allow). And now it's available for free in play store:
CantrEye v1.0.2. in Play Store

It's been put into Play Store thanks for support from Sasza, notized, Arval and Vanya. Thanks!

The source code is available at github, for your insight:
CantrEye repository

If you would like to see some features, or found some bug, or it just isn't working for you, let me know. There was no possibility to test it on many phones before release, so I'll appreciate your feedback.

Loving the app! I doenloaded it a while ago and can say it's perfect for what I was looking for. Simple, effective, and streamlined.
Thanks!!!

Just perfect!

I wonder if there's any way for the App to remember when Ticks happen... or if that's even REALLY a good idea?
Even after playing for few years, I never really put any mind-power to remembering when they are. (yeah, I'm a terrible pirate that way, hahahaha) ....But I finally got my head wrapped around that "eating happens around ### for me).

While full ticks countdown might not be feasible like the Greasemonkey FireFox script does, (which is ALSO awesome).... I wonder if it could have a very very simple, brief notification of "next tick"? (tick: SeaTravel)
then in an hour when I look at the phone and see some new events, it might say (tick:Projects) or (tick:Eat)

Hmm, doesn't need to be fancy, or even give the timeframe (is the tick in 2:49 real-life hours, or 2 minutes?, doesn't matter. next tick is XYZ) .

...and I'm just Brainstorming something that might be nice, but not TOO detailed and/or exploitable, etc.
Thoughts?

Not a warning, but Joo made quite a useful tick-counter:

Yup. It's even linked in Cantr Eye, since it's so useful.

That is a very nice link... except work and school both flag that site as blocked by the firewallls, so I can't use it ecept rarely at home, in bed, before sleep. alas.... Thus my suggestion, to compromise.

Will add it to my TODO list for now.

I downloaded CantrEye yesterday, but couldn't get it to work. I managed to log in and could turn notifications on and off, but it didn't show me things happening in game even though I had game running on screen and saw that things were happening.

Any ideas, suggestions?

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 7.0.

Does refresh now button work for you?

I would like to report perhaps a issue with Cantr eye based on my phone's information about applications that use battery. It seems recently it's been up to 10% when it used to be 1-2%. I have samsung galaxy xcover 3 with Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop). Not a major issue otherwise but 10% battery drain will mean that your battery will run of energy sooner than otherwise

There was no update to CantrEye since its release, so it's not like some change in a code made it use more battery. Maybe some battery calculating mistake, or something? Not sure. Try reinstalling it and let me know if the issue is still present.

I'll reinstall it and let you know.

Works fine, in fact. And good to have, thanks!

Glad it is working then!
