Feature input, what would you do with it, what would you want? Any other comments? It'd kind of be an "all in one" solution to get your job done, so just start throwing ideas out there.
 


Privacy would be my #1 feature request. Don't want my stats & campaign info being uploaded to the app's server.
 
do you mean like campaign building type of stuff or things like stats checking (ad and aff networks)?

I'm not sure. I'm kind of feeling around in the dark here to see what people would want most. Could be some combination of both.
 
So far there hasn't been an app created that can pull stats from all networks (or at least any on the major platforms) and break it down in detail, like by day, by subid, by offer, etc. The only one I know of is Affiliate Stats, which just shows you the total number of $$$ you have made for the day. Cool, but not all that useful. There is Stats202 but that is a subscription product, and there are the individual apps being created by Azoogle, Neverblue, etc. for their networks only. I think there is definitely room for a one-stop-shop app for affiliate marketing, but it's probably going to be a pretty big project.
 
It doesnt really make sense to have an iPhone App that shows detailed revenue by sub id etc. If you want that from your iPhone, just use its browser and go in manually. The main purpose should be simply to see across the board revenues so you know whether you can afford Le Cirque for dinner that night, or you're taking your GF to Sizzlers.

Agreed, all I'd need it to do would be to check campaigns and to start or stop them if necessary.
So an integration of basic network stats like campaign revenue today would be fine and than having google, YSM, FB etc. access.

It would be way too big of a pain in the ass to creat ads etc. on there anyways so I'd never do it.
 
Checking stats is nice - going to be tough to break it down unless it was integrated with various tracking platforms.

More importantly, I would like to be able to pause/resume campaigns on the big 3. Seeing ad CTR and ability to change bids would be sweet as hell too. You will need to figure out a no-fuss way to handle Google API charges though. Good luck with that one.
