    Because it would make your life easier and obviously nobody wants to do that

    Or save your 50 points and use DocTorn instead ;)

Hi Guys,

I just spend 50 points on that city watch, only to find that it requires Java6. You can't ask people to install v6 anymore. It is super vulnerable and no longer receiving security updates. The product went EOL in FEB 2011 and received it's last update in FEB 2013.



I'd pull the release on your website until you find the time to port it to 8.

To be fair, in its day City Watch was worth purchasing for the 50 points however, with the advent of DocTorn it has rendered it obsolete.

City watch needs to be scrapped now and everyone who purchased it refunded.

Mobile notifications on an app that receives updates would be good if Ched wanted to push City Watch to Android - easier to do than a full app for the game I'm guessing.

I think we're looking in to having our own notifications via browser which may eventually negate the need for CityWatch.

The point of CityWatch is so that you have a background program ready incase you have notifications etc, people with slow/shit laptops that have to have chrome/firefox open that does use ram/cpu isn't helpful at all whereas citywatch acts somewhat silent. I think you should not only fix the current version of citywatch(for those that don't want a browser version and would infact prefer a desktop version) and perhaps the browser version - despite doctorn being available.
