Hello, just started getting into using some of the features on the companion app to coordinate events and such and I'm finding them... lacking.
Firstly the event tab. I've noticed it is essentially a "lite" version of the event and party recruitment feature that is already built into the lodestone. I would like to see the companion app receive the same features that already exist, such as setting end times beyond the 1-12 hour option they give us.
I would also like to see an integration between the app and the lodestone events. If I join an event on the lodestone it should populate on my app and vice versa. (a different subject all together, but that should be a feature in game too, just saying)
Continuing with the events, I think the app should give us reminders for upcoming events... maybe something the users can set by the hour... "Remind me X hours before the event."
Next, I'm a little disappointed at the lack of information you can see on the app. If I log into the lodestone I can see my class, my jobs, my currency, and much much more. On the app I can't see any of that information about myself. I can however view other peoples profiles and see what jobs they have. At the very least we should be able to see everything that is available on the lodestone.
I also would love to see a feature to let me browse the market board while online. I don't need, and understand why you cant sell/buy things while logged in elsewhere, but I would love to browse it while out gathering or doing other stuff.
Other issues I have are a bit harder to look into. As with many others complaints, the chat is lack luster. It really needs to be integrated into the game. There is no reason for me to use the companion app for chat over discord or Facebook. if you want people to use it you've got to find out how to integrate it.
My other complaints have been posted before by me, but I'd love to only pay by the month for the app vs matching my game subscription.
