2.1.1
You may need to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom, but don’t let Alt-Tabbing to the desktop remove you from the action!
Check you or your PUG’s gear, overall spec, and basic stats on the fly using Warcraft Characters on your iPhone or iPod touch. Simply enter a character’s name and you’re seconds away from viewing robust information from Blizzard’s Armory! New features available in v2.0 include:
- Faster search! No need to enter your realm’s name. Just enter a character name and choose among all realms where the name exists.
- Worldwide region support. US, EU, KR, CN, TW.
- Items! Triumphantly show off that one piece of gear in which you had to endlessly run with random PUG’s that kept needing on the one item that was only useful for you.
- Reputation! Are you exalted with all factions yet?
We’ll keep updating the app: Feel free to post here for suggestions or ideas for improvement, or you can contact me directly at rudi [et] rudip [dot] com.

Hey nice little app I would just like to suggest that you do so that it is linked up to all the different regions so that not only some people can use this app. I know that North America is a main one but there is also a lot in the other regions so if that would be possible then i think many more people would begin to like this little cool app. And maybe if you find a way to make 3D characters then us users could look at when we are looking at our characters.
I am also adding this post in the app store to see how other people think of these ideas. I really think that many people can’t wait for you to get out of the beta phase and start working on the really cool stuff that us ipod touch and iphone users really want.
Another thing is that you should work on it so it doesn’t keep crashing when you try to add a character…
I would also like to see this app actually in the app store on the ipod touch and iphone asap. It will probably bring up your download numbers to a huge number.
Please add te eu server support.
Is it available from EU iTunes Stures too?
Great app and great work, but is it possible to make a choice between EU and US servers?
Is it possible to make this for the European armory too?
app crashes when adding characters from 2 word realm eg. Shadow Council. Tried - _ ” etc still crashes, tried all one word
Cheers guys, great idea for an app
Downloaded and installed this app. The application is a great idea, however i play in the UK and the app seems setup for US servers only. Any chance of euro servers also?
Please dont just support american people, iphone is an international product. Please add a radio button to choose between EU and USA servers so it will work for all WOW players!
thanks
Tim

where is the european support?
This appears to be an excellent app, I think people would pay for it but can you make it available for the Warcraft EU servers? Not all of us live in the USA.
Good app, but I can not set my characters from my realm. Maybe because is a European realm???
How about showing European servers some love!!
Crashes when you try to enter a multi-word realm name.
I can’t get it to work at all.
I can’t make it work with European realms. Is it supported ?
The app crashes when I type 2 words realms (e.g. Khaz Modan)
Before you make any other changes, please can you focus on adding EU, China etc support. It looks like a great app, but utterly useless to half of the WoW population!
Thanks
doesn’t work at all for me does it work for eu?
It just crashes for me when I try to add my character Tullwing on the Blade’s Edge realm.
Suggestions?
Can you please put some code in for Eu servers as well at the American ones, you will please so many people.
Heya.. nice app you’ve created. Sadly enough I’m from Europe, and are ofc playing on an European server. I’d love to see this app showing toons and stats from the EU servers as well.
I’m hoping to be able to check out my own toons in the near future
Keep up the good work..
-Frode a.k.a. Imshi (EU-Kilrogg)
The app appears to crash when trying to access any character on ‘Kul Tiras’. Is this because of the space between the two words?
Also will this work on European Realms ?
I just stumbled on to your app looking for an podcast. What a great app! It will come in handy when i’m away from the computer, so i can plan on what to work on next! I was also surprise to see Spectrum rage/blade since i am a new member of Rage!
If you guys have a 2 word server use the following line
Name1%20Name2 %20 is the space in the web lingo
e.g
laughing%20skull
Thanks for making this app. A few issues but I’m sure you are aware of it already (a space in the realm name shuts down the application). For those of you on realms with a space in the name, try adding a “+” where the space should be, this worked for me. I hope you plan to add features that include a way to organize and reorder the characters as well as a drop-down menu for the realms. Looking forward to more updates.
Hey, great app. A couple suggestions I would add (I’ve also made these suggestions on the App Store):
~ Show current gear/stats
~ Ability to organize the added characters, either by moving them around in the list, or being able to create groups
~ Ability to view characters without adding them
~ Guild roster and statistics (like number of Humans, number of Warlocks, etc.)
~ Basically any additional information that you can get on the armory currently, though the things I’ve already specifically mentioned would be higher priority to me
Other than that, I love the app! The interface is very nice, and it’s quick at locating info over 3G. Great work!
Now I know I am a bad person for having ALT characters in my name, but as servers grow, sometimes thats all I got to work with. Anyways, my main WAR’s name is Bràver (notice the a is an ALT char) on the server Silvermoon. Well it crashes the app whenever I try to add him. Any idea on maybe getting those to work?
Where’s the D/L link for those of us with jailbroken Gen 1 phones?
The vast majority of iPhone users still haven’t upgraded to 2.0 yet!
Awesome. Can’t wait for the items pane. Great job!
For some reason when i add any character it tells me they aren’t found. I am on silverhand, US.
Do i just enter (a) my char name and (server name - silverhand?)
Very nice! Reordering would be a nice feature to add in a future update. Also, a button to refresh all characters at once would be handy. This will be fun keeping track of my friends characters too.
Plz add EU servers, ty!

I like what is going on so far.
For server names with spaces - the list of servers is fixed, with limited updates by Blizzard. Why not let users choose the server name from a dropdown menu? This way you can code it to send “Khaz+Modan” but the user would click and choose “Khaz Modan” from the dropdown. You can get the names from Blizzard itself, like from http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/status.xml.
It looks like a great app. Some of the concepts and features that it can bring are awesome. However, its still buggy. It will not work with characters with 2 word realms. Other then that I would suggest polishing it up, new icon, improvements to the UI, and more communication to the users. I would like to be able to come here once every 3-4 days and see an actual written update of what has been going on. If you really want to do good with this then you gotta act fast. Im sure blizzard will be brining lots of features soon with the upgraded Armory coming down the pipe very soon.
Kudos!
All attempts to refresh characters already on my list result in crashing out to the Springboard. Fix forthcoming?
Great app! Crashes when entering special characters in a name though, like: í,ò,ă. Besides that tracks all my characters flawlessly!
And we don’t need European support! Not everyone gets to have everything! They’ve had better cellular handsets for years! Now we should get something they don’t! lol (just kidding people)
it’s a bit buggy but very promising
Another handy thing to add would be a link to the WoW Armory listing for a character.
One other consistently reproducible crasher– characters that have an accent in the name, like some of mine– Árpád or István. Great app though– thanks!
First of all i like this app, great work! Second of all i was wondering if it would be possible for you to make an app like this again but for Diablo 2: LoD? If you could please email me with some feedback. Thank you.
great app, well done. but the attack power for melee classes seems off.
app is great, however it crashes when you try to update with the lower right icon.
Just downloaded the update and I’ve found that refreshing character stars crashes the app every time.
Hope this is looked at soon. Great app, looking forward to tallent trees! (please ;D)
Keep up the good work
Neat app, nice to see my alts in my iPhone.
However, initial excitement for v1.01 waned when it still did not get my Rogue, Artfülslip. Still no way that it reads accented characters.
And still no way to enter those accents (such as Opt-u or Opt-e)
Sorry.
Oh, and I just tried updating, refreshing, one of my characters. The circle arrow blanked the screen then popped me back to the ‘desktop’.
I just created a problem report on the app store, but yeah, like some others have reported, the app 1.01 crashes when I try to refresh the char data for characters already in my list.
If you are seeing crashes when you refresh your character, try removing the character and adding them again. My toons are on a server with a space (Khaz Modan) and I entered them in the 1.0 version of the app with “Khaz+Modan” to make it work. Removing my characters and adding them again with the space in the servername made the refresh work properly.
This is so frustrating: no access to the European servers. If you need help for the french localization drop me a line!
Thx for this great idea !
As mentioned previously: reordering would be nice, an option to automaticall sort alfabetically would also be nice, kind of like address book. As officer in a raiding guild, I have to keep track of lots of toons, the list will get quite big, so some form of ordering is kinda needed. Would also be nice if the selected region zone would persist (i.e. save that I’ve selected the EU zone) and if a default realm persist too (e.g. Doomhammer server).
AWESOME app. I just got my iPhone today (06 Aug 2008) and the app worked perfectly. I’m on Scarlet Crusade, so entering the “two word” realm name was an issue I thought I would have to face, but it was flawless.
Wonderful idea and execution
Nice app! Looks great!
I’ve had it on my iPod touch for a few days, and I’m not noticing any stability problems or other bugs. I just have a couple of suggestions:
- First, I’ll add another vote for organization features like manual ordering and groups.
- Also, I think a “Refresh All” button on the main screen would be very useful.
Thanks for a cool app! And thanks for the quick enhancements and fixes!
Nice app! I’d love to be able to see what my character has equipped as well as talent tree.
Nice App. However, it seems to crash whenever I try to refresh my characters data. My realm name is “The Scryers” and I’m wondering if the problem is in part to the space in the name as I know that was a problem with adding characters.
I like the fact that you can access your chars offline
very fun. However, my main has a í (unique character) in her name. Can you make it possible to be able to type accented characters into the name? It’s possible that it’s not something you can do since it’s apple who designed to keyboard, but maybe a solution to that would be to have a search (like the armory) on the application so we can find out chars without worrying about typing the unique characters like á, í, ú, é, ñ, etc.
My charactor will not come up. Why? Seems like a nice app. I’m a level 20.
Currently my updates are a few days old. Is this normal. I tried reinstalling the app. and still old data. I have a level 26 alt and the app has been showing level 22 for two days.
Just wanted to say grat app, but the app store description is incorrect! You can’t view characters gear. thats a huge minues for me and i would only rate it 2/5 because of that.
2.0 is a very nice update! It only crashes sometimes if I click on edit.
A very nice addition would be to be able to view talents. This would make this program 100% perfect
Love 2.0 i agree that talent would make it perfect.
Very slick little app! One small buglet that probably wants squashing: at least for me, set items show up in the “Items” view as the set name, ie, my Frozen Shadoweave Shoulders, Robe, and Boots each show up as “Shadow’s Embrace” — also “Lola’s Eve” and “Charlotte’s Ivy” each show up as “The Twin Stars.”
Thanks!
I really like the new look. Is there any chance that you could add talent points or even a talent point calculator? Also I know it would be a right pain but for the expansion could you add in pet talent trees and pet family types? It’s a bit hard to compare my Hunter to other classes if I can’t add in my pet DPS (talent spec makes it variable). Also can you get enchants and gem information as well?
Very nice app. I downloaded the first version and though it was a little lacking, but after downloading 2.0 I have to say I am impressed!
the app is cool but I’m in a private server (realm: woow.servegame.com:3200) and i want to know if it’s only aviable for the original one or if it is posible make an update for the private servers too. Thanks
great app!! Is fantastic but I’m in a private server and i want to know if it is posible make an update to solve this.(if the answer is yes ask me for realms). Thanks
App crashes on my Touch even after a fresh install. I get the first screen, then it just exits back to the main applications page.
Great App!
I have a couple of suggestions tho…
1. The ability to “equipt” additional items and calculate the stats.
2. Compare items to each other.
3. Add the 3D character view from wowhead.com
4. Add a button so you can send a armory link / Warcraft Character link to other iPhone users through email.
Neat little application. Like Robyn above, one of my Warcraft Characters has the letter “é” in their name. I am unable to search for and find that character.
I love the app, but can’t add one of my characters because it’s last on the list, and the bottom toolbar is over the last entry on the list. It would also be nice if I could either re-order the list or sort by server. Look forward to the update.
Great app, the update is fantastic
I would like to see:
-talents
-Arena team names/ratings
If you do those 2 things this app would be perfect
Great app, love the update.
I’d like to see:
-Full Talent Preview
-Arena Team Names/Rating
Those 2 would make the app perfect!
LOL HoW COOL IS THIS!?!?!?
OH MAN!!! I love it!!! keep up the good work!
One important thing with names:
I cant search for names that have the ¨ character in the name, for example Jhönhy, or Käin, if i type Kain, i dont see in the list the name Käin and i cant find it, im using a itouch and i cant type that character with the virtual keyboard…
Could u make a special character like * to search ALL characters in that position please?
srry i have seen how to type the ¨ hehe
It seems that Theoria, who programmed “Armory Browser” app, received a letter from Blizzard. His app will be taken down from the App Store on Monday, August 25th, as he explained on his web site (http://pwnies.org/iphone).
Does it concern your app too ? Have you been warned about that yet ?
Nice application for my iPhone. As a professional raider I really enjoy this application. But the item details cannot display correct in my BIG 5 Chinese version iPhone. Any suggestion?
Love this application. One thing I miss in the application is the ability to keep track of all of your skills, now it ‘only’ tracks your professions.
I tried to add my Dranei character called Selmek on Lightbringer server! It’s a 2 day old toon that is between lvl 10 & 15! Problem is it won’t add to my iPhone yet my friends and my toons will!
Hi! SWEET APP! Is there any way to incorporate all the keyboard characters? I, and many others, have character names with letters that are not available in your application. For example, I have a character named Deathßringer, which uses the “ß” character.
ß (germandbls) — opt-s (Mac) — alt-0223 (PC)
Please can we have a section on this app showing how much money i have… thanks for a great app!
I just upgraded to 2.1. Now the application won’t work AT ALL. I launch it, it brings up the “Characters” window, then quits and goes back to my iPhone menu.
I wish I never upgraded. 2.1 is 100% completely unusable.
…and I had been hoping that this would fix the bug where I could not select my character when it was the last one in a long list.
After installing the Characters 2.1 update for my iPod Touch from the app store, Characters refuses to load. It gets to the screen where it would display actual characters and then goes boom, returning to the Home screen.
Reinstalling the app didn’t work, neither did resetting/powercycling the iPod Touch. Anyone else experiencing similar behaviour?
Lovely app btw.
Great app. Two additions I’d love to see are being able to view talent trees. As a raid leader, this is the info I pull up on the armory more then anything. The other addition would be to save your guild. That way I could just select my guild and browse its members.
Awsome stuff!
In future i would like to see a 3D image of my character and talent calculators.
Great app! But you should include a way to sort the order of the characters when you hit edit on the characters list, similar to how it works in the iPhone favorites list.
I have downloaded the Warcraft Characters app into my iPod Touch and really like it. I have an issue tho. I cannot save characters. Every time I shut down the app, I lose my saved characters. I have tried uninstall/re-install and still cannot save characters. Is there a fix for his issue?
Thanks for the cool app!
Great app! The only thing I’d like to see added is Lockpicking Skill for rogues. That suggestion aside–fantastic job!
Please allow this app on windows mobile!!
We think this is a great idea. We posted it on our site with a link to the app store.

I recently got main character in to the next patch 3.0..something. But now it seems i can not update him on my ipod touch. I this a concern anyone else is having? I can search for him then it shows him and his realm, I click on him, and it boots me back out to the main menu of my touch. All of my other toons work just fine, it is just a problem with him.
sinsce the new update of wow the app dont want to update …
Thank you for an excellent app. In other hand, when will be available an updated version for patch 3.0.2, resp. WotLK?
First off, fantastic app !!!
Just one problem, I am not getting any images on the items page. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling app. Maybe something is wrong with the armory ?
try this website for everything you need to know (including how to earn a million) on warcraft.
give it a go at
http://www.millionairewarcraft.blogspot.com
let me know what you think.
Thank you
This cool program seems a bit dodgy since the last patch. Give me a clue, is there a new build coming out. Excerlent program.
is this app working properly with the new patch? for some reason it’s not updating my level properly and i can get a list of my items / equipment?
when is the next update?
Recently, my Characters iPhone App doesn’t show any info but NULL. It used to work properly…. Any clues?
Am also unable to update any of my characters’ items and skills for the past 2 weeks or so now. Great app when it works!
What a nice tool.
Unfortunetaly it doesnt work anymore since the patch 3…
Will you do a update?
Item images are not loading anymore for any of my characters. This has been happening for a while actually.
