Really only useful for getting into events. The database search tool isn't great and works terribly for double-sided cards. The built-in life counter is also inconvenient and does not handle counters very well (poison, commander damage, etc). For a way to find and connect with local events, Companion works fine, but for anything else, it's less than ideal.

It works sometimes. Auto logs you out at random intervals during tournaments, sometimes kicks you from events for no reason. However, the commander life total app is fantatic. Genuinely the best way to track life these days. For that alone it could be 5 stars. Unfortunately the app doesn't do what it is supposed to, which is be a companion app for *events*

On the one hand, having everything in one place is pretty cool. On the other... how hard is it to keep you logged in? I draft almost every week in my local store. I have to log into the app at least 2-3 times a night, for one event. Today it logged me out as I was reporting a match (twice). Any other app on my phone? I log in once. Period. Unless I go months without using it or actively choose to log out. Event UX needs a lot of work just due to this "feature".
