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.
