FINAL FANTASY XIV Companion for Negative User Reviews
✓ I love FFXIV - Don’t waste on thisSquare Enix still uses their Kupo Nuts per market action which makes this an expensive cash grab. 5 seconds of loading every time you press a button, it’s literally a waste of your time and money unless Square Enix updates it to be free and not powered by a 56k dial up modem from the year 2000..Version: 1.14.0
✓ Useless wallet gougerThis app is useless. All you can really do is reorganize your inventory with it when you aren’t logged into the game. Even the chat feature only works with other people using the app; you can’t communicate with anyone inside the game. Anything having to do with retainers, like listing items for sale or changing prices is limited to one per day, two if you pay the extra subscription fee, which is insanity. A while back they took everyone’s feedback of this, and “fixed” it by allowing you to pay real money per change you make. The subscription does nothing, and charging real money to adjust the price of a market board item is even more insane than only allowing it to be done once a day. You can’t even use it to conveniently check the market board or organize retainer inventory while your character is away from a town, because you can’t log into the app while logged into the game itself. The app would be great if they’d just stop being *** holes and allow unlimited access with the subscription..Version: 1.10.0
✓ I feel cheated in a way. Add more features!Essentially you’re paying roughly $5 for extra space, the Left Saddlebag and another retainer allowing you to have up to 9 Max (if you pay to have extra retainers). You can buy and sell on the market, but even while paying for the app you’re limited, which feels like you’re being cheated out of something great. There needs to be more to this and I feel like there can be. A suggestion would be Venture Support, allow you to send and retrieve retainers and collect items from Ventures. Another suggestion would be Squadron Support, train them, send them out out on missions and check Mission status and training status. Another suggestion would be to add the ability to do some sort of interactive Gathering, Botanist, Miner and Fisher, in areas safe for the level you have attained without worrying about aggro. Disciples of the Hand, allow users to craft items away from game on the app. Mini Golden Saucer, play games, mobile chocobo races, and Cactpot! There could be more to this app than what it is and the fact that we have to pay to use its features to the max, which isn’t a lot, seems to be greedy. Make it worth our while. Do better! Kthnx!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ The marketboard...I didn’t expect the app to be super amazing or have wicked features, I sorta just expected to have things that made things easier: maintaining what you sell on the market board being the primary one. But the micro transactions are what really bug me... We already pay $15 a month the play the game alone, along with like $60 if you want the game and it’s expansions. I feel like it’s just kinda stupid to make me pay real money to put stuff up on the market board, and/or when I want to buy something from the market board. It would be easier to just quickly log in and do that stuff..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Useless App is uselessThe only thing this lets you do is manage your inventory. You cannot view jobs you don’t have equipped. You cannot send retainers out on ventures. You cannot send Grand Company on Squad Missions or Training. Your paying a larger fee than just buying an extra retainer to get a second kupo nut per day(useless) and to have double the saddlebag space(basically useless if you use the free app to manage your retainers and your own inventories). It’s free version is not worthwhile outside getting the Tomestone emote in-game and the paid version is a waste of money. Please allow some of the aforementioned actions for Kupo Nuts, then this would be well worthwhile.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Pointless. Greedy.Pretty much useless for anything except chatting unless you pay and even if you pay, it still doesn’t provide enough value unless you’re willing to throw money at it left and right. All I wanted was a way to reprice my listings in the morning when I wake up but you can only relist ONE item (seems to be two if you sub to it... lol more with micro transactions?). Absolute joke. I understand it’s probably better to limit it for the health of the markets but perhaps allow us to relist every item on a retainer once per day? We already pay a sub for the game. I also pay for 2 additional retainers and plenty of cash shop glams. Honestly, asking for a sub on this lack luster app on top of it is just insulting..Version: 1.17.0
✓ USELESSFirst of all, once you choose one of your character, its final, you cant choose btw them after. If you wanna put something on the market board, you need to pay with moogle nuts and that cost you real $$$....beside your friendlist and FC fellows , totally useless and a scam to sell your stuffs... thanks alot for this brilliant idea Square Enix .......Version: 1.2.0
✓ Still should be free to FFXIV subsWoW companion app is free to their game subscribers with no pay walls with unlimited uses of their app auction house. You never want to be seen as more greedy and impotent as Activision-Blizzard (or EA) but in this instance (and the retainer system that shills more money from Omni crafters/gatherers) Square-ENIX has done just that. It’s disgusting. Side note; the ability to craft out of retainers inventory, when. It’s embarrassing that Zenimax is more capable at doing this with their Elder Scrolls Online’s crafting bag. Great game. Some truly garbage and backwards thinking systems (I’m also looking at you Housing) 😑.Version: 1.18.1
✓ A time and money sinkThe app allows you to sell or adjust item prices on your retainers... at the cost of 1 daily obtainable Kupo Nut per modification or sale. This is so slow and tedious it’s useless. There is also a 3% additional purchase tax to buy anything off the market board. Also the app only allows use of one character. To change characters requires deleting the app and redownloading to use on another character. The chat feature only appears to work with other app users, not actually working with the game. But wait, there’s more! To get more Kupo Nuts per day over the base 2, you get to pay a subscription fee! Sure it comes with an additional retainer in game, and a bonus bag space, but the cost is more than 2 additional retainers via the Mogstation. Sadly this app appears useless and is a cheap gimmick designed to charge a sub fee for it’s meager usefulness that is less than Discord..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Leaves much to be desiredWhile the User Interface in this app is nice I find that the features of this app are lack luster. Particularly I do not enjoy the feature of the Kuponuts/Mogcoins. While i understand they want to protect the markets by not allowing people to buy and sell all day from their phone, I feel the people that would do that likely already do when they are logged in. It feels like a feature that doesn’t protect the players but an attempt to collect additional revenue. I also wish I could send my retainers out on Ventures from this app. I don’t feel a need to use this app over actually logging into FFXIV..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Ok App. Expensive for what it is. Needs more functionality.The app is graphically beautiful. It is somewhat stark without any background music. It should have the Final Fantasy there playing in the background. The free version only allowing 2 Kupo nuts per day to list an item for sale is overly limiting. We should be able to list at least 5 items in the free version. The paid version should be unlimited putting up of items. We should also be able to send our Squadrons on missions, train them, and send retainers on ventures, and tend gardens in the app. Would be nice to be able to work on the apartment and house/yard as well..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Important - Tech/Gamer reviewer - From my heartHi SE Team, This app has a huge potential. What definitely needs to be done since u pay 5$/month: 1. Change UI and make it more futuristic with quick and easy to navigate UX. 2. Add retainers an option to assign ventures. 3. Add Squad to assign training etc. 4. Unlimited access to sell and buy on Market Board 5. Access to Glamour Dresser 6. An option to set up notifications/alarm for any unspoiled, folklore, and ephemeral nodes. 7. Notifications when your retainer is back from Adventure and an option to assign a new one. 8. Please give it some love to this app, it has a potential Promise you, after all of this is added, players will use it on daily basis. Thank you so much. Love FFXIV Universe..Version: 1.13.6
✓ Pure greedFirst, the idea behind the app is great! But beware the greed hidden behind this app. First in order for this app to be truly useful you have to pay $5 extra a month to be able to sell on the market. That’s on top of you already buying the game plus a subscription PLUS extra for retainers. But you actually can’t list items on the market without paying a digital currency (kupo nuts) for EACH listing. All of the features should come standard with an existing sub or at least after paying the extra 5. This kind of greed should carry capital punishment. Will not renew the extra 5 for this trash..Version: 1.4.0
✓ App for whalesThis app is visually stunning and has a great UI system. It’s nearly perfect in every way except one… the pay wall. My first expectation when installing this app was that it would be similar to the old world of Warcraft app where you could manage your auctions an unlimited amount of times. To be able to sell stuff while not at your computer was huge for someone who worked all day. Something I’m sure a lot of people would pay a sub for. However for this app free users get to manage one listing a day.. if you pay for the sub you get to manage two(up to ten if you save for 5 days)? Otherwise you have to drop additional money to manage your listings. My recommendation would be to give unlimited listings to the sub. Something your actual player base would be willing to invest in and not just cater to whales. 1/5 stars with the paywall 5/5 stars without.Version: 1.12.2
✓ Paywall for nothingLook, I don’t mind paywalls if there is a reasonable return on my investment. Giving me an app that can’t chat to people in game, that can’t function without a bogus in-app currency and still requires a $5 monthly cost is ridiculous. I liked being able to manage my inventories across my bags and retainers, but why make it so anything Marketboard related is behind a ridiculous additional currency. Let me just use the Marketboard if I’m paying for the app. The 1 included retainer and included additional Chocobo Saddlebag are only included to make up some sort of additional worth when the app really has none. As others have said, just get yourself 2 retainers for $2 each and it’s still cheaper than the app and you are actually getting value. This app is not worth paying for, seriously just don’t..Version: 1.14.1
✓ Great idea, terrible executionHyped up for several months and released about a month late, the Companion App has been rife with server issues, and lacks anticipated functionality to boot. One cannot communicate with their linkshells or free company, only individuals or small groups. Retainer management is usable, but only just. Credit where credit is due, event scheduling and inventory management work quite well. Look forward to seeing improvement..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Garbage.Trust the rest of the well written reviews, only use for this is to get /tomestone..Version: 1.15.0
✓ Practically a ScamPay $5 USD a month to access the market board from this app and change your market board prices a few times a day. Amazing..Version: 1.12.2
✓ Charging people real $$ for updating AH price??Because charging FF14 subscription is not enough, this app require real $$ for updating item prices on auction house… Dont be surprise with the 1/5 reviews...Version: 1.12.2
✓ Good Concept, Needs More OomfAll 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..Version: 1.16.0
✓ Please don’t keep the app rotation locked.A landscape mode would be great for this. Granted there isn’t a whole lot you can do with the app at the moment, at least adding a landscape mode would allow you to functionally use the app while it’s docked with a keyboard or being used with a kickstand case. Additionally, I would recommend adding support for pointer devices, specifically, I would allow “clicks,” as well as “taps” to be used to manipulate fields within the app..Version: 1.12.2
✓ Greedy!Really disappointed with this app. Main issue being the micro transactions. We already bought the game and pay a monthly subscription. Most of us buy optional items in the MogStation from time to time, too. Now we have to pay money for every single item that we want to buy and sell remotely? Every. Single. One. There are similar games out there with companion apps that are completely free for the same functions. That being said, I would have even been happy to pay a one-time fee for downloading the app, because the market board and inventory features are ones that I would love to use, and would use often. But charging for every single transaction is ludicrous. I will not be participating in this cash grab..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Missing some MagicThis 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..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Honestly, why?Why make an app that has a premium version and there is no premium benefit to using premium other than extra space in game? This kupo nut system or buying coins on top of it is silly, no to mention a 3% fee for using the app instead of the in game market... I wouldn’t mind paying $5 a month if it completely eliminated the Kupo nut system. Instead it increases it from 2 but max to 10... still pointless since you get one a day. I want to be able to do my commerce while sitting at work bored so I don’t have to spend hours doing inventory management when I’m home in game when I could be out grinding more. Get it together and quit being greedy with your micro transactions. Reminding me of EA Games at this point..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Complete waste!That’ll be the day I pay to sell items via app on the MB for a game I already pay a subscription for..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Poorly though outYou cannot use this app while jailbroken, despite everything being server side anyways. Poor decision.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Really could use a lot of work.The features available could use some work and some that I thought a no brainer to put in aren’t in at all. No option to send or return a retainer from a venture is my biggest gripe. When searching the market board in app there should be a general search not just a category search. Other apps such as the WoW app from 2013 are vastly superior to this. It just feels lazy. Not to mention those apps let you do more for free. The chat feature is nice. But I’m not putting money into this until some major fixes are implemented. Other major notes •No online settings, such as do not disturb, busy, etc. •The ‘Kupo!’ Sound effect, (which I love btw) only comes up for the first message, and doesn’t alert you of any after, even if you leave the app and lock your phone. Meaning you have to remember to check back. •You can’t check your achievements, or look up other players.Version: 1.0.0
✓ It’s terrible but I want the emote.I hate this thing and everything the subscription model stands for but dang it I want the emote that comes with it..Version: 1.0.1
✓ UghCan’t even log in been trying for days...Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not worth the wait nor the extra chargesFor a mobile app connected to a subscription based game to not only charge you micro transactions but (eventually) also an additional premium subscription is ludicrous. For how much I would have adored a proper mobile app with game-connected chat, proper item organization, and not charging me even more for the features most clamored for by fans. It is downright disgusting for a subscription based game to utilize practices designed for a free to play system. I can only hope that SE will work to improve upon this down the road and strive to be more customer friendly. I’m running out of reasons to brag to my friends about this game, and I miss being able to..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Has potential but itll be wastedIts pretty crappy, i downloaded it for the free favoured destination. The only thing i found useful was that i could clear out my armor and weapons inventory because i have a lot of low level stuff i was too lazy to sort through, so i could do it on my phone. I noticed there was a “premium” which i thought was really dumb. We already pay 15 dollars a month, everything this app has to offer should be free. If they added things to the app like able to feed our chocobos or watering plants for our houses or anything that would be convenient, then i would be on this app a lot more often. But chances are if they add anything half decent and convenient to the app, itll be for the premium users..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please fix the app. 🙏Most of the premium services are supposed to be offered for free. The features it offers complement the game very well, it’s just unfortunate SE insists on locking them behind a paywall. In my opinion, everything available today as premium (excluding the in-game bonuses) should be available for everyone for as part of the game base subscription, and the truly paid* “premium” features should offer users things way beyond everything that’s already available today + the current in-game bonuses (such as +1 retainer and +1 favorite destination, etc.) only when the game’s time expires then it’d make sense for the app to be this limited. As it is now, it’s extremely limited and barely worth the download. The alternatives offer more and better, which renders the app more or less pointless; especially when most users are already paying a subscription to play the game..Version: 1.20.7
✓ Useless cash grab!The biggest drawing factor to using this app is the access to the market board, but you need to pay to utilize the function!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Why do I need to pay againThis app has potential it having to pay again after having to pay to play the game is just ridiculous. To me they just want more money when if you already are subscribed to the game it should be a free addition. Making your subscribers pay more to get a nice quality of life is just greedy. The world is already greedy enough and to have one of my favorite video game companies ask for more money from me is just crazy. Why do I need to pay a kupo nuts to use the market, that’s just crazy when I already pay you for my subscription and I pay extra for my other 2 retainers. Please take the cash grab away from paying subscribers..Version: 1.21.2
✓ BlehCan’t change characters... I play multiple. Can’t do much without paying. Pretty useless..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great idea butThis app would have been great if not for a few big issues. The chat does not allow you to talk to in game friends and your FC, only to people with the app. This feature is useless because most people are on other better equipped apps such as discord. Selling and buying items is heavily monetized in both Gil and RL money. Other features such as moving Items to your Chocobo are behind a paywall. For a game that does most things right, the companion app does most things wrong..Version: 1.12.2
✓ DisappointingI was hoping to use the App to talk to my free company on the go. It does not deliver. I was hoping this app would let me work with my retainers, but i need to spend money for that. I was hoping to use this app to make purchases or change prices on the go, but I can only buy OR sell a single item per day, unless I spend money. This app is designed to make money, unlike the Libra Eorzea, which was an incredibly helpful tool for the people who pay money to play FFXIV. Its shameful to launch a tool with such limited features, and expect people to pay for the incredibly limited services it provides. I spent my one free token to buy a stack of logs, and it was clunky, slow, and an absolute waste of time..Version: 1.0.0
✓ I like the additional Favored Destination!Pros: - Simply downloading the app gives all my characters another Favored destination in game. That’s nice. - I like knowing how the market is so I can plan what to make/sell when away from my comp. Wishes & Improvements: - I wish we could change our character in app like in lodestone. That way I could chat with friends of my other character’s on another server. - I’d like to see what’s in my glamor dresser. That way I won’t buy something I already have. - additional resources like crafting / gathering log or dungeon information with possible drops would be great. - I don’t see a way to sell items in my armory chest on the market via a retainer and would like to be able to sell from there. - I’d like to be able to manage retainer ventures and squad missions from the app. Right now, I don’t have too much reason to go into the app on a regular basis unless I’m stalking something on the market board. I’d like to see more features added to the app..Version: 1.0.0
✓ WowThis is the worst cash grab I’ve ever seen. It costs real money to sell your stuff on the market board. Good lord SE..Version: 1.5.0
✓ App need its own REALM REBORNAs a fellow programmer I felt like I should comment on some issues that bothered me a lot! First of all, UI is a disaster, the menus, fonts and even the character visual is so amateurish. Look at the feet of the character image please and then tell me I am wrong! Secondly the chat functionality is very slow and laggy. chat ui, background and frame is really bad I mean they are presets of any app being developed! Please Square Enix do something about it. This seems like a freshman computer science student’s term project. Finally, as a long time player! I really thank you for your attempt to create such a convenience however this doesn’t look like Square Enix’s work. Please update this and I am sure many players will eventually subscribe for this service, but only if it works nicely..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Neat Idea But UselessTo start I would like to say that this app is a great idea because it’s cool to be able to chat with your FC and in-game friends or buy and sell items while you’re away, but there’s two things that completely defeat the purpose of this app. 1 You need to actually have your subscription running to even use this app. I got this app so I could stay in touch with my FC while I don’t currently have my subscription activated, so if I need to have my subscription running to use this then I might as well just log on to the game and talk with them there. 2 The synchronization is horrible. I renewed my subscription, downloaded this and saw that everything was synced up. Then I played the game for a while and started a FC and added someone to my friends list. After I refreshed the app several times and days later it’s still saying that I’m not currently in any FC and the friend I added is not appearing in my contacts (in the app, in the game it’s fine). I’ll give this two stars because I like the idea of this and if they let you use this while your subscription is inactive and it actually synced up properly then this app would be amazing, but right now there’s really no point. The better solution for staying in touch with your FC right now is just setting up a Discord server..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Make it persistent!Got my /tomestone emote, But it doesn’t loop! Who scrolls on their phone and puts it away after 2 seconds? Not the warrior of light that’s for sure. The app itself is slow, clunky, and very limited. Be nicer if I could browse the market board for current prices on things for crafting and raid, but oh well. I’ll change it to 5/5 if my emote loops!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Can’t post to fellowship boards anymoreNot sure what happened but I can’t post on the message boards after latest update.Version: 1.9.0
✓ SlowI can turn on my computer and start the game before this app realizes that it’s not even logged in..Version: 1.14.1
✓ Error 311007 constantlySometimes I'm able to use the XIV Companion app fine, then constant 311007 errors telling me to relaunch the app. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Unreliable, sadly..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Wanted to love itTo be honest, I wanted to love this. It’s handy that you can buy and sell items in the go. HOWEVER you can only get 1 kupo nut per day as a login bonus. These kupo nuts are the only way you can sell items. You can only hold 2 at a time. Honestly it seems like a money grab and I don’t like it. If the feature was open and free, I would call this a “companion” app, but until then it kinda feels like a way for Square to squeeze more money out of us. I don’t use calendar features or chat or anything fancy. This is a personal pet peeve and more of a suggestion, but it’s be nice if the characters moved on screen instead of just a freeze frame, so we can view armors and weapons, etc. Honestly this whole app just needs an aesthetic and functional revisit..Version: 1.12.2
✓ Crashes on start upIPhone X 13.3.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Rework this app SEInteresting app, but extremely lacking in features. If they are trying to be ahead of the game w/ chat functions, events, contacts, etc. from the competitors in the App Store. This is how NOT to do a social/in-game app. You are asking for low ratings at that point. Biggest offender is the mog nut cap, mog coins is the worst. No way ppl are going to pay that much coins out of real money just to buy/sell items from the market board. Would rather do it when logging on the game. Chat function is a disappointment. Thought could do it, but nope. Have to have those who have the app to chat. ......why? Extremely rare if the app get 3 out of 5. 1 or 2 out of 5 is reasonable..Version: 1.0.0
✓ A mostly worthless companion app with VERY BADLY needed features.I play the game on the PS4, and the biggest issue for it is the in game test chat system. You have to rely on the in game digital keyboard to say anything to party members who aren’t in a voice chat of some kind with you. So I was HOPING this app would give me the option to use my phone to chat with party members. It does not allow this simple function. A function that is sorely needed, since you can queue for dungeons and might need to say something quickly to the other party members. All this app does is allow you to chat to people on your friends list (which is a nice feature, to be fair), and you can manage your items and sell items on the market... at the cost is real life money. So, not only is it only useable feature that could be useful very limiting to where you can only chat with people on your friends list, but it requires real life money to do much else with it, making it incredibly greedy as well on top of what else the game demands just to play it, let alone the items you can buy in the Mog Station. In comparison, Microsoft’s Xbox app lets you type in their MMOs’ game chat with their app very easily for FREE. In ANY of their games. I really did expect better from both Sony and Square Enix than this app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Can’t updateWanted to use it but it says I have to update. Try to update but doesn’t work. So can’t use the app, therefore 1 star. I’ll change my rating if I can get on. Thank you..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Niche AppGiving it 3 stars because the concept is good but as predicted it’s buggy and the option to pay seems excessive when all one really needs to do is login to the game. I got the sense most users wanted the chat feature, which is great in other non-NA/EU communities where Discord is not widely used. Not sure why reviewers seemed surprised it’s “in App” chat only. It’s definitely an app for a niche group of people willing to spend money to manage in game commodity and for perhaps other community users or very small groups of people who don’t use Discord..Version: 1.0.0
✓ OkWas ok, there is lots of stuff that could be added to it for improvements but now when I try to open it it crashes automatically. Needs an update to fix this.Version: 1.0.6
✓ 10/10 would not recommendVery disappointed in the cash grab of this app. Would be more beneficial if they included it with a one time purchase and made the market use a full dive instead of a pay to use. Add golden saucer mini games incorporated to here. As well as some of the logs(hunting, gathering, etc.). Sending your retainers on quest. Companion app had a lot of potential but sadly folded in my eyes. Actually very disappointing for a companion app considering its already a paid service just to play the game. Good ole micro-transactions ruin the potential of amazing things..Version: 1.18.6
✓ This is a missA great idea, being able to chat and deal with the markets while you’re offline. I don’t mind the fact you need a sub for it to work, the game itself doesn’t work without a sub so that was expected... But the kupo nuts? We shouldn’t have to pay anything or do anything to put things up. If I have a lot to sell and I can’t be at my comp, what’s the point? Truly the only purpose to this is just to talk to friends, the market stuff is basically a waste of time because of missed opportunity to get more people to use it when away..Version: 1.12.0
✓ ThiefWe have to pay real money to be able to sell on the market!!!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Crashes when I try to open it.13.3.Version: 1.12.2
✓ $E at it’s finestGonna turn on the pc instead..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Solid App in my opinionI like that I can move my items around easily, sell items I don’t want to put on the market, and buy items whenever I need to. But on the other hand the app feels pretty sluggish at times when it’s communicating with the server and stuff. It would be really nice if we could get notifications for when something we are selling on the market board sells. Overall I think it’s solid, just needs some quality of life improvements..Version: 1.12.0
✓ Why must I pay for everything!Come on. This really is way too little for the free. I already pay every month for the sub to the actual game and now I can't even use an app for a bit more convenience. It's already a lot to play this game when you must buy the base game and the DLC's for a full priced $50+ and pay for a monthly sub. Can't all my month get me a little more on this app? Like actual use of the market boards and my inventory. This is really just a "let me look at my character and whats for sale on the market boards" app. It's no companion to make my game go outside of the game world. I'm still stuck doing everything in game because it all costs a monthly sub to access!! 1 star..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Another cash grabAnother cash grab by SE. I guess paying full price for a game and then a monthly subscription fee and having a cash shop isn’t enough. They then gotta have this app that could have been super useful and a great addition except it costs artificial currency just to use its major function (to adjust items in your inventories and sell/adjust market items) Chatting is only done with people who are using the app. I expected to be able to chat with my linkshell or free company from my phone. Similar apps on other mmos are free. SE has been nothing but cash grabby and greedy recently and this is no different. Everyone seems to have a lot of trust in SE to do things right ever since 1.0 got remade but time and time again they prove that those days are in the past. Many will say those complaining are “entitled” and many will see when they are being nickle and dimed at every opportunity. Which side are you on?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Crashes when trying to launch the appI can’t even launch the app (iPhone SE 2016)....Version: 1.9.0
✓ Useful but too much limits...Utile mais trop de limites ...(EN) The app looks good but it is missing a lot ... And can we switched characters? because it's really irritating always to be on the same and not the others... (FR) L’application a l’air bien mais il manque beaucoup de choses...Et est-ce qu’on peut changer de personnages? car c’est vraiment irritant toujours être sur le même et pas les autres....Version: 1.0.6
✓ Premium SubscriptionOffers spare Saddlebag and Retainer. Extra spot to register cheaper teleport cost. Tomestone emote and access to the market board when away from PC or console. It’s okay service. Limitation on editing prices and listing with Kupo nuts sucks..Version: 1.18.1
✓ Not Landscape-View CompatibleOverall this is a good app which I find I use quite often on my iPhone. However, I was sorely disappointed to find that although there is an iPad version, it can only be used in portrait view and does not rotate when the device is turned sideways. Personally I use the Apple Keyboard with Touchpad, so my device is ALWAYS in rotated in landscape view, thereby all but rendering this app unusable. I will have to be content with using it on my phone I suppose…. *Sigh*.Version: 1.12.2
✓ Crashes on openingApp crashes on opening. iPhone XR..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Sad...This is really sad :/ I appreciate most of the concepts here but the fact that we have to pay to do anything useful with the app is just ridiculous. We already paid for the game and have to pay a subscription fee to continue playing. And if you need extra retainers you pay for those too. So having to pay a subscription to the app as well is just excessive. As has been stated by plenty of people, I’d have been willing to pay a one time fee, even as high as $10, but I’m not paying a subscription or for any micro transactions to be able to use the features that actually matter on this app. Also, chatting app to app is pointless. Connect us to free company and linkshells in game..Version: 1.0.0
✓ MtxLol at trying to monetize changing market prices.Version: 1.12.0
✓ Does nothingDoes barely anything to improve the gameplay of ff. Chat system that’s pretty outdated. Everyone who wants to connect through chat have already done so with a 3rd party app. Requires upgrade to move items and which means almost nothing to most player. Who needs to move items when they are out or something and if you are in game that needs to move things around and need an extra paid app to do it then your in game item system is the problem. Posting items and reposting items on market board with real money. With how little use Gil is in game, there’s not much reason for the need of it. It looks great but functionality wise it does little to nothing in improving your gameplay experience. Would’ve been a nice thing if this was introduced around the launch of the game. But at this point it just seems like a money grab for utilities that aren’t even very beneficial..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Crashes on startupCan only see the splash art before it crashes instantly. IPhone 8, IOS 13.2, non-jailbroken, was excited for this but essentially it’s unusable..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Worth keeping on my phoneUnlike the complaint oriented reviews, I can say that this app is helpful in a limited capacity. I use this app to keep an eye on my retainer’s gil balances as well as double check my items. There is literally no need for a remote sale and transfer system or a special chat for the app. Most players have discords to communicate off-game and if you are going to be online 3+ times a week then what need is there gor remote functions?.Version: 1.16.0
✓ GreedI enjoy the inventory management and that I can buy and sell items. What I’m not fond of is paying a sub for the app and having to do micro transactions. One or the other please, if you use the free version then micro transactions are fine. If your willing to sub then remove the micro transactions. Honestly nobody is really using the chat. Discord is 100% free fast and close to real-time. Would be better if you removed it or attached it to in game chat. The favorite destination should be a free destination if your already paying a monthly fee..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Help!!Well I am updated and everything and this app keeps crashing when I try to open it!! I love this app and this is the first time having issues. I am on iPhone not sure if anyone else is having this same issue.Version: 1.11.1
