Commander damage tracker doesn't indicate players correctly
(Android, latest version, Life Tracker, Commander, 4 Player): The player indicator pictograms should indicate the correct opponents for Commander damage. In some cases there duplocate icons for a player, or even indicating the player itself but not an opponent.

Card database
The card database should include new cards at minimum by the prerelease. We opened unreadable cards written in phyrexian and couldn't look up the oracle text

Round Start Notifications still sent after Dropping
After dropping from an event (via TO) notifications for the next round are still sent via push on Android. Companion app correctly identifies my status in the event as dropped, but notifications continued for all of the remaining two rounds of the event.

Alert continues after drop the event.
I drop the event at Round 2, but still alert continues from the app about round 3 starts (and round 4…until swiss round end)
I've left the event already, so please stop the alert.
Is it blame of Tournament Organizer and/or Judges handling? or is it a application matter?10 votes -
Companion app Android says no internet connection when I click on the event in my events that I'm hosting
I set up an event on event link for an Arena event. When I log into my Companion App on Android I can see the event I created on event link under my events. When I click on the event in the app I get an error that says I have no internet connection. However, I definitely have internet. When I click retry on the app, it gives me the same error almost immediately. Please advise. I'm using android on my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra on my wifi.

Suboptimal pairings in Magic Companion for hosted event
I hosted an 8-player draft event last week, and the round 3 pairings did not match up the two players with 0-2 records, instead pairing them each against a player with a 1-1 record.
In the attached images below, Jeff and Gage already played against each other, so they could not be paired up in round 3; however, it would have been valid for Jeff and Cheryl to play each other, as well as Katie and Gage. This would have allowed Matt and Julia (both with 0 wins) to play each other, for a balanced final round. However, the app…

Survey feedback
Just finished the survey - which was too short to give any relevant feedback and missed the most important part: a field to write actual feedback, putting the given data in context...
What i wanted to say there:
I can't either correct mistyped results nor drop players and do repairings if needed because of either of those cases.
The final standings should stay available for at least a day after the event finishes - if the host clicks one too many buttons they are gone. It happened more than once.
Doing seatings manually would be a welcome additional option. Several…8 votes -
App frequently logging out
Hey. I'm writing because the Companion app keeps logging me out. Usually once per round which is really annoying.
I am using a Google Pixel 6a running Android 13. This did not happen on my previous phone, a Pixel 3a.
Please fix this or provide instructions on how I can mitigate it.

Notifications
Notifications won’t go away despite no events, or nothing else that would trigger it being in the app.

Round Time
An idea, to put the time of the current round synchronized with the players' scoreboard, to be able to keep track of how much time is left before the turns.

Bloomburrow cards not searchable by set name
Bloomburrow (BLB or BLC) is not included in the card database filter for "set". While some Bloomburrow cards are available to search by name, and the filter for this set is available on the web based companion, the app still does not have this filter.
Please add these filters to the app The website isn't a great mobile device experience.

new life tracker design is worse
Worse UX, scree takeovers when putting counters, smaller text, harder to use. I have never considered an alternative due to how simple and easy to use it was before but now I can’t really use this without having to interrupt my game with every change in counters or life due to how small the text is.

Use Camera to search cards
When playing MTG I often encounter situations where I need to look up rulings/clarifications for cards. Imstead of having to type in the name of the card, I would like to be able to scan the card with my phone's camera.
Example:
- my opponent controls a 1/1 with hexproof
- I play [[electrickery]] for it's overload costs
- does it hit the hexproof creature?
- we need to look up rulings
- to the google I go (because it's faster than the companion app)
- I end up at the gatherer website entry for electrickery
- we now know…7 votes -
Wheel menu prevents people from developing muscle memory
When you use static menus people remember where items are and get quicker at navigating to what they need. The wheel menu looks cool but makes it harder to actually find what you're looking for.

Unable to Join Event
Error in app I can't join events

Need a way to correct mistakes.
Running tournaments at home using Companion is generally great, but sometimes an error occurs when entering match results and there is currently no way to go back and correct those mistakes. This completely ruins a tournament since accurate pairings are unobtainable. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thank you.

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.7 votes -
Error: Sorry! We are currently experiencing issues. Please try again later.
Companion doesn't Allow me to join events. It asks for my name and then gives me the error message in the title. This happened at an in store prerelease on Saturday and is still happening today. I'm on an android phone ( ver 9). I've restarted the app, updated the app, and restarted the phone, but nothing changes.

Rotate life total
Rotate life totals in the life tracker 90 degrees and 270 degrees so that I can put my phone on the edge of the table and have both players see both life totals easily (and so they are facing the same way).
The life totals are geared to show each player their life total but it is just as important to see my opponent’s total and when it is upside down it adds mental strain that wouldn’t be there is both totals faced the same direction.
This might not work as well for multi player games so maybe add it…
