Gaia Online App

 Gaia Online App for iPhone

     This is a free application for iPhone users who have Gaia Online (Gaiaonline.com) web accounts, and wish to access said account on the go.  This is the older version of the app.  Both this one and the newer version (Below) are available through the app store.  Rather than updating the old app, they made a completely separate version.  If you are interested in this application, I would recommend the newer one, below.

     This version of the app gives you access to the marketplace, viewing announcements, private messages, forums (Though you'll have to use your browser on your phone to make forum posts), your saved outfits, and your inventory.  You can also view notifications such as friend requests and marketplace listings sold.  A benefit to having this app on your phone is that you get an extra daily chance, that you would normally not be able to get if you used only the website.

     This icon (And the image to the right) are of the newer version of the app.  Though I have to admit, I prefer the icon for the previous version.  Like the older version you still have access to notifications, private messages, announcements, forums, the marketplace and your inventory.  They have added the saved outfits in with the inventory rather than creating a separate button.  The new feature is the access to the cash shop.  You can now spend real money for virtual items straight from your iPhone.

     Here are the features I especially like about this application: The daily chance, which allows you a chance, once a day, to get free items or gold.  This also allows you a slight chance to win special items only available through the app's daily chance, such as a black or white iPhone for your avatar to hold.  Another nice feature is the random background.  Whenever you load the application, it will show a different scene behind your avatar.

     Some things that I hope this application will add for the future would be some form of chat system, so you could talk in real time to your online friends.  As well as a way to see which friends are online.  As it currently does not allow this.  Also, perhaps a way to shop at the Gaia gold shops, rather than just the cash shop.  Though even without these features, I'd still say this is a good application, and recommend it for anyone with a Gaia Online account.
