GW2 Assistant is a fan-made app for viewing your Guild Wars 2® account and character information on the go! Without an API key you can view the Boss Timers. If you'd like to view your character and account information, you will need to generate an API token on https://account.arena.net/applications, and make sure to give it permission to builds, characters, progression, wallet, builds, account, inventories, and unlocks. You can enter the key by copying and pasting it onto the settings page or by scanning the barcode. If you do not give it a given permission, the app will still function but the page attached to that permission will not be available. Most views can be refreshed by dragging down and releasing when "refresh" appears. We request the Camera permission to allow the scanning of barcodes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GW2 Assistant at none against ExileView's 10. GW2 Assistant also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.9) and device support (3 vs 1). ExileView's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ExileView sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. GW2 Assistant asks for nothing beyond the download.
GW2 Assistant holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of GW2 Assistant's written reviews are positive against 100% of ExileView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GW2 Assistant ships an update every 2 months, ExileView every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
