Mobile Banking

Something that I think was in the works when I stopped playing WoW before the release of Cataclysm was the ability to access the Auction House from your phone. Well, 5 years later, it exists!

I downloaded the World of Warcraft Armory app the other day and it's really cool. I have the mobile authenticator on my phone as well, and the Armory app automatically pulls your login code from that app - very easy.

Once you login, you've got a variety of options to choose from:

A lot of these options are pretty straight forward and I haven't tried others out yet. But I have used Browse Items to check out all the glyphs that are available, as well as the Profile page and Auction House.

The profile page actually shows all your gear, your gold, your achievement scores, etc. Tapping on an item even shows the exact details of your weapon in a little popup. Clicking Upgrade shows similar items that would be an upgrade for that item, and View Details tells you the iLvl, what it disenchants into, and how it is obtained.

The Auction House is, well, the Auction House. You can search by a variety of different categories and filter the results just like you can in the normal AH. Tapping on an item brings up an exact description as well as the same View Details ability. For these glyphs, View Details showed who made it, the Item Facts (Item Lvl, Item Cost, and Sells For), as well as the Required Reagents. Tapping on the Reagents allows you to search the AH for those.

All in all, very cool stuff. I'm sure this isn't new to anyone who has been playing for a while, but I'm pretty impressed!
