COTW Companion - Android & iOS companion application

[Toastovac]

Hello fellow hunters,

I have already seen few posts about an application called COTW Companion. This app dates back to 27th of November 2020 when I first released it for Android and I would like to make an official announcement.

As I wrote, the app was released on 27th of November 2020 on Android's Google Play. It offered few base info about animals and that was it. During the year 2021 the app got a significantly more info, regarding reserves, weapons, callers, and options for changing theme or language. The app also got maps with hunting zones for each animal as well as locations of outposts and lookouts. Nowadays the app offers features like need zones changing over time, catch book and trophy lodge to log your hunting trophies, and newest addition, loadouts, offering you a way to see if you are able to shoot or lure the animal. Today the app was also released for iOS users. The app still is and I hope will be in development state so additional features will come eventually.

I would like to promote it this way as I think the app is a good way to keep the game's data by your side at any time (it works offline). You also do not have to remember everything. With this in mind I would like to appeal to everyone that NOT EVERYTHING would be correct and mistakes can happen. There is also an info that is missing. In these cases feel free to contact me through the email provided in the app's "About" info. Everything about planned features or issues can be found on my Trello (link is also provided in the "Patch notes" in the app). Keep in mind that even that app gets somewhat regular updates, I am "alone" on it and therefore everything that has to be proccessed and transformed into the update can and will take me some time so the update/s will NOT be literally the day after the game updated for sure.

And for those who at least mentioned the app anywhere and especially for those who regulary use my app: THANK YOU very much for your support and reviews you gave me. I appreciate it a lot. To this day, the app was used at least once by almost 40K users on Android and almost 30K users on iOS. Which is totally awesome and I did not think this could be possible. Without you I probably would not be able to release the app for iOS devices as well as promote the app like this.

To close this and also make a TLDR; COTW Companion - Companion application for the game theHunter™ Call of the Wild. Application offers information about huntable animals, usable weapons and callers and information about reserves you can hunt in. Application also offers maps and list of need zones changing over time. One of the newest versions brought a way to save your harvests to Catch book or Trophy lodge as well as a way to create and use loadouts. The app is for free and can be found here[play.google.com] for Android and here[apps.apple.com] for iOS.

I love when apps like this require only the single permission to make it work instead of requiring full access to every single function, well done!
May I suggest the option to have a dark mode?

Hello, thank you for your commentary. Dark mode is one of the things I am planning to do, so, please, wait for next updates. It will be implemented for sure.

[gabriele83]

Sure I will, keep up with the great work!

[Stevie]

Thnx, I will give it a try

Dark mode is there already :-)

[metpei]

Can't find it anywhere and settings have only language option... little help needed...

[Waldherz]

Will give it a try.
Especialy since the ingame map doesnt really work in 32:9

First impression: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
No permissions needed, UI is clean and responsive, looks great, works great.
Damn. Well made on the first look!

There is a dark mode, but you have to have phone or directly the app in dark mode (phone settings, not app), otherwise it is not working I think. Although I am working on manual change of the modes in the app.

Update: So I posted an update with this feature. You should be able to change mode in the settings now.
