I’m currently in a large event that is trying to use the companion app. This is vastly worse set up and organized that any event I have ever seen using the dci system. The games don’t get organized or assigned correctly, and the judging staff is basically having to say “ignore the app” multiple times per minute. In addition, forcing events to use the app requires all participants to have a smart phone, with signal, and batteries, which is not universal. It also forces all participants to have a magic arena login. This app is very gatekeep-y and really not welcoming to new players or established players.
