All in all, having an app like this is a fine idea, but there’s not a lot to do with it. I like the idea of an app that allows players to communicate and schedule with one another, especially in FCs and Fellowships, but there’s virtually no other reason to have this app. Everything it does well, is done already by Discord or other community apps, and while I guess maybe accessing one’s inventory and market board without needing to log out is appealing to someone out there, I can’t imagine any kind of practical use for it here.I think there is a place for a Final Fantasy XIV companion app, this just isn’t the best use for one. When thinking of things I’d use a companion app for, I think of maybe making online store purchases to have waiting for me when I log in next, or maybe having a newsletter detailing in-game events, maintenance schedules, or sales or new items in the online store or Mog Station. It may also be a good opportunity to use the daydream feature and preview costumes on a screen that would allow for better visuals. As an app, it’s functional, but there’s no reason to really want to have it right now.This is also a bit of a nitpick, but having a blurry image of my character staring at me all the time on my Home Screen does not give me joy. Perhaps replace it with an idle animation, or an animated aetheryte crystal. Something to make the visuals a little more dynamic.
Missing some Magic

This Companion App is really useful. I like the functionality of being able to sort my inventory without logging in. I have not personally used the calendar planning function yet but i do like the chat function. At times I’d say the chat feels a bit unresponsive but is still decent. The market boards look great, although I wish I could try things on my character. Although I disagree with locking the extra features of the app(retainer inventory management etc.) behind a subscription service. I’m not willing to pay a monthly fee for a retainer, but I would be willing to pay a one time fee to unlock retainer inventory management and other things. Apart from that my biggest complaint is the silence. I’d give this app 4/5 stars if it had some music. It feels weirdly silent and I wish the prelude played in the app. On a side note I love the moogle sound for chat notifications it’s cute and fitting. But the lack of music in the app is discouraging, I’d love to have the simple prelude be able to turned on and off of the app.
Handy mobile app

I’ve been playing final fantasy 14 since 1.0 and to have that ability to be able to easily access my own inventory as well as all my retainers inventories is helping for when I’m stuck somewhere in the real world and bored out my mind I can use that time to organize or purge space for extra room. The app also lets you see who in your contacts have also downloaded the app and has a easy accessible way to chat and coordinate events. The settings and display is well formatted and has each section easily shown for a mobile app. With that said, each time you want to use the market board for either purchases, sales, or adjustments you need to have in app currency called Kupo nuts or coins. With the free version each player gets 1 free kupo but a day with a maximum size of two where as the coins are purchased via transactions. While it doesn’t cause the spam of micro transactions and constantly putting it on the screen compared to other games, a player who is using the free version will feel very strict with the market board with this app. However, it’s not the end of the world since this is a free app altogether and if you do want that extra currency to use the market board on the go more often it’s easily accessible with transactions and also upgrading to the premium version if you choose to. Overall, this app is solid with social interactions as well as being able to have easy accessibility to inventories for people who range from causal and hardcore and recommend to all players.
Good idea, bad execution

This app has so much potential but the limitations on it hurt it. If you’re in a static raid group, it’s a great way to communicate and keep track of meet times. It’s also good inventory management too if you’re a hoarder and end up throwing what ever spare mats you in a random retainer. You can even sell Materials and stuff to NPC’s so that good in helping make space. However, people usually already have some other 3rd party form of communication and coordination for their raids and statics, so in the regard, this app has catching up to do. Also of note only one character can be registered to your companion account. Forcing players to choose if they play multiple characters.I feel that the biggest disappointment is in the auction board implementation. This was the one aspect that seemed to make this app even worth checking out in the first place. For every transaction or AB(auction board) listing, you must pay an in app fee. You’re awarded two currency pieces daily, however you can only hold a maximum of two. For non premium users that is. This in turn feels extremely limiting. All users can also purchase these currency coins for a fee. I’ve never been the type to spend money on any mobile apps. Even more so since I already feel that I pay more then enough for this game with a monthly subscription fee and extra fee for an extra retainer. The cash grab just feels too strong, the limits on users who don’t want to pay feel too stifling and prices for those who are willing to pay seem too high.All in all this is an inventory management system, with limited communication features, and a stifling in game currency transaction system.
