So... what does it offer that the lodestone doesn't?

I understand it's an offline compilation of the item database, but I think it needs more.

I had a couple of ideas that I think would be good topics for discussion:

Maps. Why don't we have a map section? It would be pretty cool to have access to an offline map database too, could have NPC locations etc.

Ventures. We've recently got access to the retainer venture system. How cool would it be to access your retainers from the app, assigning them missions when you can't log into the game. I'm on my lunch break at work, my retainers have returned... if only I could use the app to check up on them.

Gear sets. We have access to all this gear, let us mock up gear sets to explore BiS from our inventory.

FC Chat. Would be good to be able to communicate with my FC even if I'm not logged in.

Retainers. Access the Market board (much like WoW's Armoury allows you to access the AH)

Chocobo (Wishful thinking). FF8, Chocobo's World. We all have our Chocobo companion, give us a minigame we can play on our phone to raise him!

Card Game..... we know something is coming. It would be nice to play it on our mobiles too.

And... discuss! Keep it civil please
