Hangarworks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hangarworks is the companion app for Star Citizen players who craft, mine, fly and organize. It keeps your blueprints, your materials, your ships and your org in one place, which is more than can be said for most cargo holds. THE HANGAR • Pick any ship and fit it with parts straight from the game's own files. • Watch firepower, shields, power and quantum update as you swap parts, and compare any two builds side by side. • Save your ships, share a build as a link, and get a shopping list of where to buy every part. • Send a whole fit to the crafting planner in one tap. • Mining ships get their modules, plus a rock breaker that tells you how big a rock the build can crack. BLUEPRINTS, ORGANIZED • Browse every craftable blueprint with its materials, craft time and manufacturer. • See which missions hand each one out, at what rank, where they run and the odds per contract. • Mark the blueprints you own and keep a wishlist of the ones you're hunting. RESOURCES • Find where each resource turns up, most likely places first, with the share of deposits that hold it. • Track what you've gathered by quality, and note where each stack is kept. PLAN BEFORE YOU BUILD • Add blueprints and quantities to the planner and see the total raw materials at once. • Keep separate named plans, with what you already hold taken off automatically. RUN YOUR ORG • Start an org or join one with an invite code. • Share a stockpile so members can see what's available and what's reserved. • Post requests for the items and materials the org needs, and follow them from open to done in an activity ledger, history and export included. • List finished items on the org market and let members claim them. • See the org's Most Wanted: the blueprints members are after that nobody owns yet. • Ranks and permissions, so the right people can do the right things. TRACK YOUR REPUTATION • Record your standing with each faction and see what the next rank opens, how far away it is, and roughly how many runs it will take. MADE FOR HOW YOU PLAY • Sign in with Apple, Google or Discord, or look around without an account first. • Your account, blueprints, ships and org follow you between iPhone, iPad, Android and the web. • Optional alerts when something you reserved is claimed. • Optional Auto-Sync keeps the blueprints you own on scmdb.net in step with Hangarworks. • Premium color themes, for pilots who feel strongly about orange. Hangarworks is free to use, with no subscription. The premium themes are an optional purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hangarworks at 5.0 against LeArm's 2.0. Hangarworks also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). LeArm's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
