Companion App requested improvements

Dear Bungie, I enjoy using Destiny's Companion App. I use it daily for everything Destiny related, such as right now. It can do useful things that the website doesn't pull off smoothly, or sometimes at all. Since starting to use a tablet, I hardly use the browser version at all. Despite its power and capability, there are some things I wish the Companion App could do better. Here they are. 1) I wish the Forum offered all of the same functionality and facility as its browser counterpart, and more. For example, you can't browse Forum subsections such as Destiny > Endgame. Or you can't Like/Dislike a post, or even view its Likes/Dislikes for that matter. Or you can't choose to sort posts by Latest, Trending, etc. Or you can't re-label a thread as a question once you've already created it. Or the way your cursor gets stuck on words and is clunky while you're writing/editing a post. There are just a number of little, helpful functions the browser site has that the App lacks. 2) I wish the Companion App had a custom interface for tablets. Currently, it is just a scaled up version of the smartphone interface. The fonts are kind of big and clumsy looking, and I much prefer the layout and aesthetic of the website. Also, the App currently doesn't rotate with your device orientation; something that would be helpful when reclining with the charger plugged into the bottom. I'm not complaining; it is a well made, easy-to-navigate app. I just wish the tablet wasn't an afterthought, but a beautiful experience itself. I feel like the Companion App is meant to be the one-stop shop for Destiny if you're on mobile. The ultimate hub. You shouldn't need to resort to the browser for some lone feature it's lacking. It should be the ultimate way to interface with Destiny and the Community outside of the game itself. I hope the Companion App will continue to grow more refined and sophisticated, and be my standalone source for all things Destiny. Thanks! Edit: Found there actually is a 'Sort by: Latest, Trending, etc' feature. Guess my eye didn't gravitate there. Sorry about that.

  • An additional feature I would love to have in the App, and on the website as well, is the ability to view all of your threads you've ever created in the Forum. I mean [i]all[/i] of them. Not just your last 10 or 15, but reaching way back. Sometimes I want to revisit an older thread I've created, or comment on it with new perspectives or information. I'd really use this.
