Glitch HQ 1.4 Released

Glitch HQ 1.4 is now out on the App Store. Included in this update are: support for the iPad, Encyclopedia, and Quest Log. We are working on the Android update (it’s coming as soon as possible!)

iPad: Now available natively on iPad, Glitch HQ allows you to reply to status updates, view snaps, see your current quests, view the encyclopedia, and more.

Encyclopedia: Learn all about items, skills, achievements, and giants. Teleport to locations. The full Glitch encyclopedia is in your hands.

Quest Log: Peruse your available quests to plan ahead while away from the game, or set your mobile device by your computer and watch quests update automatically.

If you see any problems, please let us know.

    ETA: More specifically Items within the Encyclopedia.

  • I never use it. I just search glitch on google from my iPad and do everything from there, lol.

    But just tried it and it works like a charm!

  • AwesomeCardinal2000: We starting requiring iOS 5 a few releases ago. It was a tough decision, but several of the features we've implemented require iOS 5.

    Wynella: We're seeing the same thing. Should be fixed soon.

  • I'm hoping the Android update will work with ICS!

  • @Zany Serendipity: I recently got a phone that runs ICS, and I haven't noticed any problems so far with the current version of Glitch HQ, though I have no idea how well it would run on a tablet.

  • Let me preface this by saying that I do appreciate the effort that's gone into creating this program. I have to ask though, what's the point of me installing this on my phone (Android) when everything I can do in the app I can do just fine by going to the site through the browser on my phone? 

    Not to mention that (with the current version available on Android) if I close the program on my phone and try to go back to it later it always force closes. Hopefully the next version of it on Android won't do that.

    Sorry if any of this came off snarky. It's not intended to, I just couldn't think of a better way to put it.

  • awesome work. so glad to have it on the ipad. iphone apps just never look right.

  • Looks good on the iPad - well done!

  • fauxfire: I find the app works better than the site, except for the occasional force close and the extremely long notification vibrate (that seems to only be a problem on the Droid Charge).  You have to take into account how many different versions of the Android OS there are when it comes to debugging.  Just send crash reports when you can and post specific issues on the bugs forum.

    The problem with having an 'open' phone is this kind of headache... things never seem to work exactly right because there are just too many variables to take into account.

  • The one thing I've noticed (on the android app) is that it terminates unexpectedly all the time, and there is no way to "exit" app. Once minimized it vanishes (but is lurking in the background with no way to directly open the window). Next time I open it using the Glitch icon, it immediately crashes.

  • Updating app now! This is exciting :)

  • Uh oh, TS must be iOS fanboys to always do it first! :P

  • Where are the Snaps on the iPad? I see none
    Posted 6 months ago by shhexy corin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmm. Good question. There are links to the ones you comment on on the profile view, but I can't see any other links.
    Posted 6 months ago by dopiaza Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The encyclopedia contains one extra extra section under Items that isn't on the website. There is a listing for Quest Items, but it lists "No items to see right now..." is this a mistake or a place holder for things to come? IMHO a Quest Items list would be over flowing with spoilers, perhaps you can only see item entries for quests that you have already completed.

  • Fauxfire, I like the iOS app because everything is in a more mobile-friendly format. I'd have to be zooming in and out to do everything on the site in Safari. Plus it has all my options right there together.

  • Could you make separate discussions for iphone and android that way we know when they are each done and we can make specific comments and suggestions while staying under the same OS? Thanks :)
    Posted 6 months ago by BlackWolf Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Could you make it lower iOS requirements..?  I will never be able to get it unless i buy a complete new iPod/iPad...  And no, i CAN'T update it because last time i updated my iPod i lost EVERY SINGLE piece of data that i had.  I'm not letting that happen again.

  • Well if you have an iPod Touch 2g then 4.2.1 is the highest firmware you can have anyway.
    Posted 6 months ago by TRB4 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Works fine on my iphone (3G, ios 5).
    The only - very minor - things I noticed so far are
    a) long time it takes for the mailbox (and only the mailbox) to update - I have expired auctions from like 10 hours ago which are not showing, and
    b) the skills progression bar, which is too wide for the screen so the writing goes all glitchy.
    Otherwise, working fine, fast and without crashing. Encyclopedia seems to be complete, too.

  • Dr.CookieEater, Google how to back up your iPod/iPad. It's very easy, as easy as copy-pasting a folder.

  • hurry on android please please being able to play this on my phone would be awesome
    and could you possibley make it able to be on i pod too

  • Still waiting on that Android app! How come iOS get's priority every time?!
    Posted 6 months ago by La Mariposa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • cos it's just, you know, cooler?
    Posted 6 months ago by shhexy corin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • There's a lot more testing to do for the Android platform.  There's dozens of different pieces of hardware to test on before an app can be released, compared to iOS where there's one.
    Posted 6 months ago by a lifted pixel Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I suppose that makes sense... 

    Talking to a lifted pixel - I have no idea what shhexy corin is talking about, anything your iphone can do my android can do better!
    Posted 6 months ago by La Mariposa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't think they're going to make it for iOS4 or lower, that would require downgrading the app.

  • anything your iphone can do my android can do better!
    I thought the rule was Android does it first, Apple does  it better?
