[Companion App] Feedback Thread

I would buy this but I can't when I know the money won't be put back into XIV but to some obscure project, even though this game is in need of much. Can we please start investing in this game.

Here\\'s s\\'mores!

• It would be great if we could access our Lodestone blog, that way there can be a "Blog" button which displays news from people in your contacts filtered at your wish.
• I think the 200 characters limit for messages isn\\'t enough, this ain\\'t Twitter after all, let us post longer messages like any other messaging app!
• Add an option while creating an event to Auto-invite people to events linked to the chat group automatically if they get invited to the group
• Bring Vana\\'diel cam to Eorzea! Let us see idle cams of our FC or Aetheryte plazae etc., for entertainment purpose.
• Put a red circle on the Chat button on the main menu if there are new messages, same as updates on the Event button, with the number of updates.
• Inventory: let us swipe left/right to browse the Armoury and the Currencies, and like others mentioned, put all Currencies in there.

I think this is one of the bigger misses for the app; ease of access to the blog from that app would be far less of a pain that it is now. If I could do posts from the app to my blog, I know would use it a lot more for sure!

On the transactions on the market board, I would recommend toning the cost down from per transaction to per retainer. Just like in the game, when we summon a retainer, that retainer no longer is on the market board. Giving some explanation to why doing MB transactions are not just free because of load on the server concerns, the app could at a minimum pull your retainer off the MB, let you adjust items being sold or add items being sold and then pay a kupo nut to commit those changes. Buying items would admittedly have to stay per item.

I was so ready to give the companion app premium a try. $5 to try out the features and see if it was worth it doesn't seem like too much to me. So today I logged in to purchase my 30 days. And that is where I found the glaring issue. I subscribe to xiv for 180 days at a time. I pretty much have since the beginning... I DO NOT want to subscribe to the companion app in the same way. Based on prorated cost I would have to pay $21 for the companion app... Which is way more then I want to spend to test it out.

I also wanted the option to not pay for it during certain months, such as the end of a patch cycle when i'm barely playing the game....
