Finally Seeing the Potential in This App
When I first used the FFXIV Companion App a few years ago, it felt very limited and didn’t really offer many useful features. Coming back to it now, though, I’m starting to see a lot more potential in it.
The app has come a long way. You can see when you last logged into the game, check which friends are online, receive notifications about maintenance and the latest FFXIV news, view your character’s stats, and even list and purchase items from the Market Board directly through the app. Market Board transactions use 1 Kupo Nut, but you get 2 Kupo Nuts for free every day, so you can make a couple of transactions without spending anything.
There are also features like checking your retainers, viewing your inventory, checking your currency, managing your in-game friends list, and keeping up with your characters while you’re away from the game.
I especially like the idea of being able to use it when I’m not at my PC. Being able to quickly check the Market Board or keep up with what’s happening in FFXIV without actually launching the game is genuinely useful.
It still has room for improvement, and I think Square Enix could do a lot more with it, but compared to how bare-bones it felt a few years ago, the app has definitely become much more useful. I’m actually starting to see why I’d want to keep it installed now.

Pay to manage
Kind of disgusting that you have to buy a currency on app to send your retainers off to do missions, why aren’t the in game currencies enough for this rich game studio?
Only REAL use it has is to track if things are selling on your retainers or not as well as potentially messaging friends who also use the app but let’s be honest, discord and other chat apps work better for that.

Convenient bundle
Prior review complains about spending on a bundle, one that you would be paying quite literally 10
Times the price for on the Mog station. Yes there are features of this app that are locked behind that bundle, but it costs more for a single retainer elsewhere. So you are loosing nothing here. Just a salty manchild with no other written reviews to counter the very weak points they make

Cons
Can’t complete anything without login into game
Can’t use squads
Can’t craft or look at recipes

Would be more useful if able to use app as a tool while players in work or on holiday to do more.
Application just seems to want you to log back in to complete anything.
Limited use based on my experience so far.

Nett aber nicht wirklich brauchbar
Bis auf dass man ein Überblick des Inventar hat und man mal zwischen was verkaufen und kaufen kann. Ist diese App nicht wirklich brauchbar. Wieso kann ma Gehilfen nicht komplett abschließe und erneut losschicken? Oder wieso sind solche Sachen wie Einsätze vom Mahlstrom nicht hierüber steuerbar? Man muss immer 18 Stunden warten sich erneut einloggen und über das Spiel steuern aber ich finde so lange Einsätze könnte man perfekt hierüber abwickeln.
