With the 21st century in full swing, it shouldn’t be a surprise that you can now browse JJ2’s server list on your phone via an Android application.

Here’s what wKtK, the makes of the app has to say:

At the moment I’m still developing the app, and It’s nowhere near finished. However, for anyone interested in beta-testing I’ll upload a beta-version.
(…)
I’ve not yet started to implement this, but it’ll probably communicate with another program on your PC that passes info to JJ2.

You can download the app here.

Cool, but any idea for a practical use?

As the post said, it could communicate with your Computer to make Jazz 2 start playing on that server.

I’m in the J2O news, my life is complete now XD
But, on a serious note:

Everyone, thanks for your support. If you got any suggestions/ideas, feel free to post them in the JCF-thread, and I’ll check them out :)

As for a practical use, you can check the servers while ingame, and it can show notifications when a player comes online. And like Robo4900 mentioned, it could communicate w JJ2 on your computer.

Thanks for all the feedback,
wKtK

Nice app, but kinda useless since you can only play JJ1 on an Android phone.

“Nice app, but kinda useless since you can only play JJ1 on an Android phone.”

Why should the fact that there’s no JJ2 for Android make this useless? I think that you’ve misunderstood the purpose of this app.

This app is a serverlist.
A GIP, like the one you get when you click the ‘Games in progress’ button on the top-right of this site.
In the future, the app will support remote admin functions for JJ2+ servers.

So the app does NOT enable you to play JJ2, but provides information for the JJ2 on your computer.

I hope you understand the purpose of the app now,
