What do you guys think of this...

That's nice to get a feel for what's hot and what's not... I like it.

I love it!

Would it be a separate tab or something like that?

Yes, if you look at the screenshot, this is a new panel that shows up as "Global Info" from the main top tab.

This is already complete, and its filterable by rarity and year, but it's going to be at least 4-5 days before I get it out. I'm still waiting on version 1.2 to be approved by Apple - that version has been in the google play store for a couple of days already.

I've got a lot more features that will come out as part of version 1.3.

Maybe add wish ring under trade goods?

Good call, will add that tonight.

Version 1.2 is finally available in the iOS app store. The release notes are:

Add the option to sort your haves/wants lists either alphabetically or year-then-alpha. See options on Settings page.
Add the ability to see users that have things on your want list (aka one-way trade).
Add the ability to see another the have/wants list of users that matched with you. You can control if other users can see your entire list (or just the matched tokens) via the Settings page. Defaults to fully visible.
Fixed a performance issue on the trade panel.

I updated my iPhone 7+ to your new version just ten minutes ago and I cannot open the Swapmeet anymore. It sits on the default Haves screen with a rotating circle and never stops "thinking". I have forced closed, restarted the app, and even restarted my phone and it's the same.

Aaagh, I broke the database when I added Wish Ring. Fixed, please kill and try again. Sorry!

Okay, the problem is Apple's review cycle is longer than my development cycle.

I've got a bunch of new features ready to release, but I want to let the current version settle in the store a few days. However, I also like talking about this app (I'm very excitable). Here's what's coming:

1) I've added the year emblems to the year selection screen (got permission from TPTB). Looks like this:



2) Added the global supply/demand - looks like this:



and it's filterable by rarity and year.

3) Added a "convention presence" feature, where, if there is an active convention, you can check in via the settings page, and then you will have the option to only find trades with other people also at the convention. Looks like this on the settings page:


Then you'll see a switch on the trades pane:



Right now, "TestCon" is running. You may not have heard of it, but it's all the rage, and I've already beaten E3 on Epic.

4) I've also added a feature on the trade panel, where if the 'contact' method for a user is an email address, tapping their email will open your email client. I'm not sure if I like this, open to feedback here.


The next few features I'm pondering are:
1) The value specification of tokens.
2) Token backing specification. Both this and (1) are really UX problems right now. I haven't figured out a good way to show these in the app. If there are any UX designers out there, I'd love some mockups. Everything I've done so far I had in my head from the start, so I think it's come out fairly clean.
3) Use the notification service to alert you (or, alternatively, send you an email) on new trades.
4) An inventory tab. This would probably require a filter by slot, which means a DB revamp. But it would also unblock a haves/wants view where you could search by slot also instead of by year/rarity.
5) Additional categorical searches - i.e., a monster bit view, etc. Not sure how best to do this right now.
6) General prettification of the app. I'm bad at this, would love to hear feedback.

Version 1.2.1 is in the Google Play store with the above features. iOS version will be along in a few days...

Version 1.2.1 is now available for iOS as well. I'd love to hear feedback about the global supply/demand view and hopefully people will join me at TestCon!

Side note: The global supply/demand only updates daily, so don't expect to see changes immediately.
