Shorter times for turns
Turns are too long, players drag out turns when they know they will loose and the sandclock reward is given much too loosely and wastes time for others. Either really reward fast turns with more time later on or just let it be. No downside for taking forever in each turn is not rewarding for faster players who just loose interest.

Double sided cards with alternate art
Looking through the card database it seems to be impossible to see the backside of double sides cards that have alternate art. Instead of showing the back, the button that would normally flip the card image instead just cycles to art for the front side.
The card text also does not display correctly for the front/back side, making double sided cards generally a pain ********** to look up in the card database.
Please make a dedicated button to cycle art that is separate from the button to flip the card, and make the card text section show both front and…

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.

Life tracker change log
It would be nice to have some form of change log in the life tracker, since a written history is the base evidence in any life total dispute having no change history shown in the official app seems like a bit of an oversight.

Allow team name for team events
Allow team name for team events.
For team events such as two headed giant and team trios, allow players to be able to submit a team name for their team. ♡

Customize options
This might be a backlog idea however, I would love to be able to customize the background on my life tracker in the app to fit the deck I am playing with.

Events
Keep a history of previous events so we can see how we placed in the past.

No Historic in card search
It would be great if we could lookup cards that are in historic for when we're deck building away from the computer.

Seat number in push notification
Instead of trying to load into the companion app to see the seat number in a new round, include it in the push notification when the round starts.

Oracle text mistake
I’ve seen cards where the Oracle text in the app is different from the Oracle in Gatherer. Most recently Tsabo Tovac.
In the app, it’s only a horror for the sub-type. In Gatherer, it’s a Phyrexian Horror.5 votes -
Ability to add deck name when joining event
Compounding with the already popular idea to have tournament information, the ability to show your deck/players decks for data reasons would be nice

As a tournament viewer...
Once the tournament starts, it would be nice if entering the code anyone could consult all previous turns' results and the current standings, even if you're not a tournament player, so that anyone could be up-to-date during the tournament (maybe a friend is taking part and you wanto to see how he's going)

Please show the both the regular and transformed version of a card when you click on it

Card Database Text out of Date
The card database feature of the Companion app Oracle feature does not work. Rather than displaying the up to date Oracle text of the card, it displays the most recent printed text. As many cards have had errata to update their Oracle text that have not yet had printings with the new text, this makes the feature almost entirely useless. This is made more egregious by the fact that the Gatherer website on mobile advises that Gatherer works better in the Companion app, which is factually untrue.

Random card?
It would be nice if the card database had a random card button like Gatherer does. I like looking at random cards to get ideas of stuff to build around

Ability to remove tournament from home screen
The tournament host option does not provide an easy way to remove tournaments. I accidentally hosted a tournament that I cannot get rid of because I cannot start the event without other players. There should be an option on the home screen to swipe and open up a delete button.
9 votesWe have an item that will manage this coming down the road. For now, note that after 28 days those events will automatically close and disappear.

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.3 votes -
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.
