tl;dr: Free killboard app to track character/corporation/alliance kills/losses for Android devices (2.1 and higher). Data can be collected from Eve API or from an EDK (Eve Development Killboard) feed such as Eve-Kill or corporation/alliance killboards. Available on Google Play!

I recently released an Android app that helps track kills/losses in Eve. It collects data either from the official EVE API or from Eve Development Killboards. The app is still early in development but I invite everyone to check it out.

The main features of Killboard Buddy are a locally stored database of killmails, allowing you to view killmails while offline. The search engine for the killboard allows you to search for any character/corporation/alliance that have kill stats in the database.

Future updates will focus on UI improvements and helping new users with setting up the app. More details are available in the Google Play description or in the FAQ located in the app itself.

Killboard Buddy is available on Google Play for Android 2.1+ and higher.

If possible, you should really use EPIC ( https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=18842&find=unread ) instead of idfeed.

You can customise the data from EPIC way more than you can from IDFeed (by only requesting the data actually needed, and saving bandwidth)

I was able to get it to add, although the UI is a bit finicky. Try this:

Host: etherealdawn.eve-kill.net
Entity Type: Alliance
Entity Name: Ethereal Dawn

After you click add make sure the feed is checked and click the refresh button. It should start fetching the data (from oldest to earliest). Go to the killboard, press search and try searching for "Ethereal Dawn". If you see it appear in the search suggestions as you type it in then there are some kills based on the alliance.

I'll see about supporting it in a future release. The current implementation was used as it is very similar to the official Eve API. I since found out about the issues with the official killmail API in its current form so I'll be looking to focus on killboards more in future releases.

Thanks for the feedback :)
