DragonCalc - reference guide and breeding calculator for DragonVale

I want to love this app but honestly you really need to update. I love how it's payed out but it's pretty much useless when you don't have all the dragons to choose from.

This will be long, but honest. I downloaded this app and was asked to register. I chose to skip this and go straight to using it. First thing you have to do is manually chose every dragon you have and enter it in you collection (don't really know what else to call it). Each and every dragon. If you're just starting out in Dragonvale this is not so bad, but if you are further along, like I was with more than 100 dragons, it's a long tedious process. It is worth it though, because it uses this info to tell you what you can breed and, if you use the "Best Chance" tab, it tells you the best percentage you have of getting something new with your current dragons; which is awesome if you're not trying for something specific. The best thing about this app, or at least what I like best about, is that if you are trying for something specific, it shows you the percentages of getting it using different combos so you know what's your best chance at getting what you want. Anyone can help with making those more accurate by entering in what you are breeding and the result you get. Sounds great there, except that when you chose your result and it wasn't what you wanted so you are still breeding that combo you have to re enter the dragons you're breeding again and every time you chose a result. This also gets tedious, so if you're anything like me you just end up putting the result of what you liked and not the other stuff you don't care about. This can, of course, will effect the percentages so the best option may still take a while to get what you want. A BIG problem with this app is how long it takes to update when dragons become available. I mean when I first downloaded this at first it took several day to about a week. Then it started taking weeks. Now it's just ridiculous. To make my point, it is now July 25 and ruby is still not available, with 6 days left of the month. Ruby is not so bad it only has 1 combo but summer, which has multiple combos to chose from, started last month and is also still unavailable. It seemed to about a month or two for the Galaxy dragons to even appear on this app. With all this said, or typed if you will, those are not the worst problem I had with app. The worst problem was that one day, all my data disappeared. All the breeding combo I had done, my dragons, all the dragons all together. Completely gone. Every. Last. One. I kept it for a few weeks thinking it might update and all come back, but that never happened. I had to delete the app and reinstall it. When I opened it for the first time after reinstalling I see that you put your old data in IF you backed it you. To back it up you had to register. Remember in the beginning how I said I chose not too *sighs*. So I had to re enter in my dragons in again one by one and refresh it - this took me probably 45 minutes at best and it's the second time I had to do it knowing what I was doing -_-. It wouldn't be so bad if you could just select all the dragons you want at once and add them to your collection all at once, but that is not the case. So I think this app has the potential to be great, but as I stands now it is okay or even just alright. It could definitely be improved. So if you are still reading this, I warned it would be long, I hope this helps you. This is my honest opinion and experience with this app.

I use this all the time but with its slow updates it's starting to get unreliable. If you could update it, especially with this new event here, that'd be great.

I'm sure this WOULD be a very useful tool in DragonVale (I'm currently working on some more Rainbow, specifically Double Rainbow, dragons)... if it would open... It says 'Updating Database' and crashes about 1/3 the way through! Please fix!

This is a very helpful app. It would be a lot harder without it. The database needs a major update. It hasn't been updated in over a month. Still showing dragons that aren't active and not showing ones that are. Considering getting a new tracker.
