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.

Cannot See Full Names
Hello,
I wanted to ask and see if it's possible to change the naming system in the app.
I only see last name when I get paired up with an opponent. Some other people can see full names.
Does it have anything to do with Android vs Apple?
I am unable to find an option in the app to change the names.
Best regards

Pairing
So this has happened to me twice at two events (45 person event and 135 person event).
At the 135 person event, I am 5-0 (10-1). I played my match 4 and 5 at table 1. Pairings pop up for round 6, and I am moved to table 3. Neither I nor my opponent had played the players at table 1 or 2. I was the only player with 1 game loss where the table 1 and 2 players had 2+ game losses. Ironically, I play my worst matchup and move to table 5 playing the same deck and the…

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.

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…

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.4 votes -
Leaving tournaments
I recently played in event at my LGS and they couldn’t add someone after the tournament had started so they created a new one. I was unable to leave the event I was already in to join the new event.
So so I think there needs to be a leave tournament option on the app.4 votes -
Add Day/Night Tracker to Life Total Tracking Screen
With the release of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, and the prevalence of the Daybound/Nightbound mechanic, it would be nice if the Life Tracker in Companion had an option to enable a Day/Night Tracker that shows up near the middle, allowing players around the table to easily see if it's day or night.

Delete a bad event
Being unfamiliar with this, I only now realize that if you remove yourself from the event you’re hosting, the event will crash every time you click Continue. Now I have 4 hosted events that I cannot host or delete. How do I get rid of these “bad” events?

Card Database Colour Search Issues - "Exactly" Criteria Does Not Work
On the advanced card search engine there is a feature that allows the user to narrow their search by card colours. There are three options on how the user can limit their search around colours: include, exclude, and exactly. The "exactly" option does not work as read; it functions identically to the "include" option. "Exactly" entails that what ever colour(s) I select to search by is the only colour(s) of cards that should be presented to me. For example, if I do a search for [(card type>creatures) + (colour > exactly > red)] then I should be provided a list…

Upgrades
My suggestion is that the card search should be able in multiple languages, also it would be really nice that it shows the probable result with partial words (so if you don't remember exactly the name you have a hint)
Other suggestion is to put the search bar in the results of the card, just in case you want to look for another card, and don't have to go back4 votesGreat suggestions! We’ve got many of these on our backlog and will be rolling them out in the future.

Card Database Feature Ideas
Hello,
Here are a few feature ideas for the new Card Database-Another button next to Printed and Oracle that says and goes to Rulings
-Under Available Formats your should be able to click on the formats for more information about those formats. I would put them in a stack like:
Standard – More Info (Hyperlink)
Brawl – More Info (Hyperlink)
-Suggestions in search if you can’t find what you are looking for.
-Blue text is not hyperlinked and feels like it should be. This might be a great feature to find other creatures with the same type or some…4 votes -
Quotations when searching
I tried searching for "search your library for a card" but it returned resulted that didn't have that exact quote. I think it searched without the quotation marks.
4 votesWere you on Android or iOS? And what was the specific search? Did you use “Advanced Search,” then “Rules Text,” then add your specific search term?

Push Notifications should include Table/Opponent Information
Current round start push notifications require opening the application for content. Put the relevant information into the push content.

Random target/number generator
Companion needs a random target selection generator function which allows you to input the number of possible targets as well as number of random target results you need. Chef's Kiss is a really interesting new card with so many possibilities I believe it is intimidating and that is why I do not see people trying to play with it. However, if players had a built in function within companion that could handle this card and other random effect cards, i believe this would open increase play with these types of cards and reduce stress, game delay, and errors associated with…

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…3 votes -
Wrong Translation in Chinese
In the Chinese version, it shows Player A “战败” Player B, where “战败” means lose. It's better to use “击败” to represent ‘defeat’.

Event Final Standings
After playing an event with the Companion app, I was not able to find the final results of the event in Companion. However, the results did exist, as I could access them through the alert message that Companion sent to my phone's operating system at the end of the event.
It is annoying that the final standings of an event cannot (apparently) be found through Companion itself, even though they are actually generated (as they should be).
