This seems like something that I need. I haven't use the app so some of my questions or feature suggestions may already be implemented. For that, I apologize. Here are my questions and suggestions:
Does it post entries as activity posts? e,g. "Neo just unlocked the 'Enter the Matrix' achievement!" Clicking on the "Enter the Matrix" link should take you to the achievement description page and should list all the members that have unlocked it like this: http://masseffect.vg/badges/detail/3/first-to-fight.
Does it have a central page where all achievements are listed with their criteria description? (e.g. https://mysite.com/achievemets, https://mysite.com/awards, https://mysite.com/trophies, etc.)
Suggestions:
Recommend Member for Award or Badge - Allow the community to recommend someone for an award. "e,g. "Recommend Neo for the "Red Pill Award").
Decline Award or Badge - Allow members to decline an award of badge and allow them to leave an optional reason. Feedback in valuable!
Set Award Timer - If a user doesn't sign in and/or post in a week he or she should look an award. Admin should be able to select date and criteria.
Achievement Levels - Users can get the same achievement multiple time. e,g. "Neo just unlocked the 'Enter the Matrix' achievement for the second/third/fouth time!" Additional achievement should be styled with a (red; user specified color) circle like iOS notifications so award uses the same original achievement image.
Ranks and Reputation System Integration - If a user is promoted, either manually or automatically, it would be nice to get an award. If a user gives or gets reputation it would be great as well.
PM, Notifications and Social Share - Notify user via PM and normal notification alert (I'm sure this has already been implemented) if they have unlocked something (optional setting). Allow users to share badge pages via social media (e.g. "I just unlocked "Enter the Matrix on My Awesome Site! https://mysite.com/awards/enter-the-matrix"
Thank you for reading the post! I hope this helps improve your app. I will eventually buy it once it has matured a bit more. I am subscribe to this topic so I will be lurking in the shadows.
Check out one of my (inactive) sites using the a custom Vanilla Forums awards plugin: http://masseffect.vg/badges. All masseffect.VG badge images are custom made and are based off the original Mass Effect (2007) achievements, The full list can be found in the tweet below:
