Hi there! My name is Bryson Steck. I am a Computer Science student in the United States. I am the creator of a new Android app on the Google Play Store called "Wiimmfi Watcher".
Introduction
Wiimmfi Watcher is an UNOFFICIAL Android App I made for a class project that I decided to turn into a full fledged application. It allows you to watch your Mario Kart Wii online matches straight from your phone or tablet just by entering your friend code! It also saves the most recent friend codes you enter for quick and easy access next time you come back to the app! This application is completely open source in a GitHub repository and available for download on the Google Play Store here. The app can run on all Android devices running KitKat 4.4 or newer.
Why make an Android app for Wiimmfi?
My original idea for this app was Wiimmfi's website lacking a mobile friendly UI and being difficult to navigate though a mobile browser because of that. This app sets forth to fix that issue and provide a fast and easy way to get to your Mario Kart Wii room data. But other than that, I'm not entirely sure what other problems this app might solve at the moment. It's possible I'm trying to help fill a market that doesn't exist here. Searching the forums here it seems that it has been at least a topic of discussion at some point, so maybe there are people out there who may find this app useful!
What else can Wiimmfi Watcher do besides show Mario Kart Wii rooms?
...that's it at the moment. I'm still working on this app in my free time to bring more features into the app later down the road, such as providing statistics for all games (not just for Mario Kart Wii), being able to tap on a player to watch them instead, watch a player based on their Mii name rather than their friend code and WAY MORE. I have so many ideas that I'd love to bring to the app to make it better, but who knows if it's worth doing. As stated before, I'm still not sure if there are people in the Wiimmfi community would like to use the app, so if there seems to be at least some excitement from the community for Wiimmfi Watcher, I'll keep working on it to make it better!
How can I help contribute?
At the time of posting this thread, I'd just like to hear all of your guys' thoughts on the app to see if there is actually a market and/or excitement for this. If there is, then you can provide feedback on the app to me through GitHub issues, the Google Form inside the app or through Google reviews. Releasing and maintaining an app like this is completely new to me, so please be nice haha
I'd love to hear all your thoughts! I hope I didn't go through the hassle just to see that people don't see a use for the app lol. You can answer this poll just as a quick yes or no if you don't have any extra thoughts.
