[Beta] FoulPlay: Access the Playstation Network on Windows Phone 8

[innerlogic]

Hey everyone, I'm InnerLogic. I totally forgot I had an account here, but now it's time I finally start posting!
I'm a Windows Phone/Windows 8 developer. I've developed such hit applications as Diabetus and Slowbeef, Windows Phone/8 Croudia clients. I'm now working on a new app that is sure to please a, well, wider audience, as it were.

FoulPlay is a Windows phone 8 app that lets you log in to the PSN. Think of it as the PS4 companion app that Sony forgot to develop. It can do quite a few things right now, such as managing friends lists, sending messages, checking out and comparing trophies and more. But of course, I have so many more plans for it. I have basically mapped out all of Sony's private PSN API (I'm not sure if anyone else currently has. If so, then I wasted my time. But if not, I'm totally gonna release it).

Here is a video showing off some of what it can currently do. Note: The UI looks a bit crap, I'm working on that. :unhappysweat:

I've made quite a few updates since this video, and that was only a few days ago. I should have a stable version up and running very soon, so I want to get a group of beta testers together. I'm looking for anyone interested, but especially those from non-american locales. Sony's official app handles language a bit weird, mixing both your PSN account region and your phones region for displaying its UI (you can see that in the video above). I know what it is for Japanese and English, but not the rest. I'm also looking for UI feedback, and which features are most important for users. I can't please everyone on the first pass, but it would be nice to have a starting point.

Also the GitHub is here, in case anyone is interested in actually helping me develop it.

That looks interesting, wish I could help, but I'm still quite new to WP8 dev. Getting better though, lol

I'm sure Paddy will be all over this when he notices!

It's been a long time since this app was "unpublished" on Windows Phone store.
I use your Windows 8/8.1 app though and it is still active on Windows store.

Do you have any intention to bring it back again? Thanks

Does this work with ps3? If so I'd gladly help with beta testing.

I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but I will take my chances anyway. I've downloaded today the "foulpay" psn app on my windows phone. It's by far the best app on PSN services / trohpies / friends that I've found for Windows Phone. It's so good it's almost on par with the android ones (I've had an android phone for years).

Thing is, after I installed, the phone began to malfunction, and I was no longer able to wake him, only through a charger. Suspecting it had some to do with this app, I hard resetted the phone, installed everything, and things were working fine. Then I downloaded and installed "foulpay" again, and again I began to have the problem of the wake button not working.

After some research, I've found a page with the app, and a text with the description of the app that said: "-Rebuilt from the ground up, this version of FoulPlay should no longer have any wake lock issues.". After that I was pretty sure the app had something to do with the problem, but anyway, can't understand why it didn'd work, since I am downloading today (feb/09/2015), and this page said the problem was solved.

I found the page describing the app on the site appx4fun. I wonder if the version on windows store has a different version than this one. Sorry if I am being stupid or anything.

Am I missing something? Is there still a problem with the app? If you could fix it would be awesome, because it's a great app. But by now, I will no longer install it, it crashes the phone alright.... Anyway, thanks again, and keep in mind that I was only trying to help.

Cheers from Brazil!
