Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
Dryad of the Ilysian Grove received an Oracle update on 4/10/2020, adding the creature type "Dryad" to its type line. This update is correctly reflected on the Gatherer website, but not in the Companion app. For reference, here's a link to the Oracle update:
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/oracle-changes-2020-04-10
This means that the Companion app is NOT displaying the correct Oracle text for Dryad of the Ilysian Grove. Screenshots of Companion and Gatherer are attached.

Event
I have an event that has been completed for a while now, has been deleted by the TO but I can’t remove it from my app. The option to “drop from event” shows up randomly, but does absolutely nothing when I click on it.

App Suggestions
So far I have liked the app a good deal for the last few months I've been using it with friends, these are just things I think would be beneficial with minimal hard changes.
-Everytime I launch this app I question why there's a home screen if it's going to be empty. I think this should be either scrapped or better utilized. Maybe have links to articles, rules updates, or something of that nature
-I'd like to be able to save/favorite cards in the database for quick reference (like foreign cards in my decks or rulings)
-I'd also like to…

Vanilla Creatures Get Ability Description From First Card Redurned in Search
Creatures with no rules text display as having the rules text of the first card returned in search if they are not the first card returned in search. For example, search “Konda”. If you sort by name alphabetically ascending, “Isamaru, Hound of Konda” will be first in search results and will correctly show no rules text. If you change the sorting to alphabetical descending, “The Fall of Lord Konda” will be first and Isamaru (now last) will show rules text from The Fall of Lord Konda (see screenshot).
Another example is searching for “memn”. “Memnite” shows the rules text of…

If your app register the details of the current tournament, why the app is noy keeping track of past tournaments? I would love a feature that shows me the average win percentage or at least the results of previous events.

Card images since MID are lower quality and the file sizes are much larger
Ever since the release of Midnight Hunt, the images that appear in Companion are considerably more pixelated than from Ixalan foward, and they load a -lot- slower over cellular.
It took me a while to figure it out, but I think it's because instead of being JPGs (with white corners), they are now much larger PNG files (with rounded corners). Digging around on my phone seems to show that each image has gone from being crystal clear at ~200KB to being pixelated and harder to read at ~800KB.
Consider going back to JPEG and rounding in Companion or switching to…

Historic Legality has several issues on Companion
Historic Legality is pretty arbitrary, but the recent addition of it to Companion's card database features a number of missing cards, missing sets and errors. In order, after a cursory check:
-Jumpstart: Historic Horizons is completely missing, which is problematic since it features some of the strongest and most played cards in Historic, from Dragon's Rage Channeler to Thought Monitor.
-Partly related, digitally exclusive cards are missing from Companion, be them from Jumpstart: Historic Horizons or later Alchemy sets, yet they're legal in Historic. Probably should be around if it's a supported format. (But then probably would have to have…4 votes -
Wrong German translation for “Defeats”
Wrong translation of “defeats” in the result page of the companion app. It should display “Besiegt” instead of “Niederlagen”.
After entering the results, the companion app displays the results as “<Player A> Defeats <Player B>“, which is translated as “<Player A> Niederlagen <Player B>“.
While “Niederlagen” is a valid translation of “Defeats”, it is rather in the meaning of “losses”. So on the german app, this reads as “<Player A> Losses <Player B>“, which does not make much sense and is confusing.
A better translation would be “<Player A> Besiegt <Player B>“.And please let a native speaker check your…

My own Commander’s Damage
Since one’s own Commanders can deal damage to themself, you should have it so there’s enough counters to include their own Commander! If 4 players, there should be 4 commander damage counters for each player.

Updating Gatherer Mana Search
So something for the Companion app (and Gatherer in general) that I feel could be quite useful is refined mana value searches. In particular the ability to filter by even Converted Mana Costs, odd CMC, and or provide the optional IS/OR options to them.
As an example: This will help search for all cards legal that a Companion Obosh could play in its deck when considering the search even and odd CMC options. While the IS/OR option (obviously allowing us to select two+ options in the case of OR) would allow us to narrow the search further, like one CMC…

Some Data not up to date or incorrect
When looking up a card (Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon) I noticed that the Phyrexian type hasn’t been added to creatures that haven’t been printed since Kaldheim was released. Among those that have, Phyrexian isn’t capitalized like presumably every other creature type is. 218 creatures have incorrect typing in this way.
Whenever I look at Gatherer from my phone there’s a pop-up telling me my experience will be better with the app, but as deprecated and clunky as the technology is used for Gatherer it at least works. Scrolling down I see there are other reported issues with Oracled creature types…

Power and toughness search doesn’t work properly
Power/Toughness slider doesn’t work properly.
I tried looking up creatures with a power toughness =13
I dragged both sliders all the way to the right
It displayed only creatures with power toughness = 11/11

Add a “my decks” section to the card compendium
I think it would be really useful to have a section of the card compendium which you can recreate your decklist in. One of my favourite things about MTG is creating and modifying my decks, and it would be really convenient to be able to do that on my phone, on the fly!
you could make it customizable, so the player can decide sections for different formats; themes/strategies within the decks.
you could add a list OR card picture format to suit the deck builder’s needs
(this last one is a long shot) you could even add card recommendations or…

Card Database; Name of the Sets; German Translations
It would be nice to have all available Sets in the card database translated into German. The App itself is in German already, which is good. But if you look for a certain Set of cards and you only know the german title its kind of a hassle.

Incorrect Oracle text
On many cards, the Oracle text are inaccurate, from minor to great degrees, comparing them to Gatherer.
Wanting to use the app to check for Oracle text on older cards can’t be used with that.6 votes
