WoW Companion Reviews

Ever since shadowlands I haven’t been able to load WoWCompanion at all. I can get the downloads, it’ll take my info, then it crashes as soon as that load bar hits “full”. By the response team’s history I’m gonna guess my message won’t get read, and if it does get read it’ll be instantly dismissed,... Show more as they’ve done for every major problem since the end of mop. Game is going to crap and everything associated with it is following suit. I’ve looked at the comments here, I’m not the only one with this issue but they refuse to actively try to fix it, not even TRY. They made their money and don’t care what the average player thinks till enough of them hurt their paychecks, then they’ll care. What happened to the adventure of wow? It’s a mount grind now. No one cares how good or bad you are, if you got the mount and a pretty transmog you’ve got better chances than someone who focused on the actual skill portion of the game. Garbage staff. Absolutely garbage. They will kill their own game by their own hands and for everyone else who’s been around since the beta- our hearts will break because blizzard does not and will not care.

I remember when the WoW application was usable and useful for staying engaged with the game while not on your gaming rig. I get that things change and maybe some of those options offered by WoWCompanion may have significantly impacted gameplay in a negative way but this current version is just aw... Show more ful. Sure, if you can get it to work for any decent amount of time you can do some things; guild chat, adventuring table but more often than not the application is so bugged it just closes after 5 secs. I constantly have to reload it because it just randomly closes. A company as reputable as Blizzard should really provide a better and operational app.

Since this companion app was introduced Blizzard has put forth bare minimum effort into making it work for the player. When Legion was released players lost access to WoD content, when BfA was released players lost Legion content. Both of these earlier expansions are still playable. The content for... Show more them still exists, but they were no longer supported in WoWCompanion . SL made a small fix to that, players could access the two latest expansions, but still not WoD. Now after the latest update Blizzard has made it so nothing is accessible except Fatal Errors. WoWCompanion is just wasted space on the device now because players cannot login.

Not surprisingly, WoWCompanion is extremely buggy. It’s about a 50/50 chance, if not worse, that WoWCompanion functions correctly. How is it so terrible? Log in issues, endless bugs with missions, and more. Also, another thing that annoys me on an iPhone without the button at the bottom is WoWCo... Show more mpanion is hard to close sometimes and doesn’t recognize that your trying to close it. The best is when you have a bunch of bugs making it unable to even use WoWCompanion , then you have to fight your phone screen to close it. I’m malding like a catepillar when it turns into a butterfly. I’m losing all the hair on my body and instead of a butterfly it’s a fat bald loser

I recently got back into WoW, and downloaded the mobile app to manage my characters. With this iteration, essentially the only thing I can do “view” my character, do missions, and “chat” with communities. Doesn’t have AH or talents anymore. Also can’t see various items that can be obtained. WoWComp... Show more anion also logs out whenever not focused, so I don’t get notifications of community notifications. It’s just not efficient right now.

For some reason it’s really hard to swipe up and minimize WoWCompanion on my iPhone. It keeps trying to select something on screen or hangs in the viewport unable to minimize. The screens don’t really feel cohesive with each other which makes WoWCompanion feel somewhat clunky, but the use of WoWC... Show more ompanion outweighs this uncomfortableness. Currently I cannot use WoWCompanion because it blocks me saying there is an update, but when I go to WoWCompanion Store there is no update available. :/

I get the feeling that this software was rushed into release without adequate testing: It crashes more than 50% of the time when I try to switch screens or modes. I’m not a GUI expert but I’d think that the interface handler be able to handle this, given the limited number of possibilities. I’d als... Show more o like to be able to see the amounts on the bonus rolls in order to make my decisions but I’m afraid I’d crash the program yet again when trying check the amounts. Flaws aside, the program is very useful for running missions without having to log into the game and visit Boralus.

Original Review, Launch of Shadowlands Update for WoWCompanion :
2 days for the update to come out, old version unusable in the mean time.

Install the update, and it turns my phone into a heater, crashes while loading or as soon as it makes it to the map.

Terrible launch for the ... Show more new app update, hard to want to recommend to others. Was very happily looking forward to switching between expansions.

Update, 2 days later:
WoWCompanion has started working, not sure what the issue was on the day the update launched.

Overall, happy being able to check missions and world quests for both Legion and BFA. App is still a bit slow and clunky, but the features it offers are a nice compliment to the game. Specifically appreciate being able to manage missions remotely.

Works fine for me and does what it says it does, however I’m very disappointed to see a review stating there used to be auction house access and now there is not. Especially since there’s no AH in BFA or Shadowlands - it would be awesome to sit at work and be able to do auction stuff instead of spe... Show more nding game time on it. I’d give it 5 stars if that gets added. Also should add pet battles!! I need more to do while I’m at work and can’t play on the computer lol.

Not sure what happened but for the last two days I can’t check my guild chat on any character. My partner had that problem briefly but it cleared up with a hard reset, mine did not.

Also have issues with the missions showing visual inaccuracies. I sometimes select a character for a mission ... Show more and it suggests they aren’t selected so I try to select them and it lowers the mission chance like I removed them. Earlier today an even weirder issue happened where the mission info shifted to the left and it looked like I had four mission slots (there were only three which is the max in BFA).

I’ll keep using it because it’s the most efficient way to keep missions going (sometimes I log out just to use it) and for the dailies maps which are so nice!

I live in Thailand, but WoWCompanion works just fine on my cellphone. When loaded into. My wife’s cellphone, I always got “A Fatal Error” when trying to enter account name. WoWCompanion ONLY works if your cellphone is set to a language supported by WoWCompanion . Setting my wife’s iPhone to Engli... Show more sh allowed WoWCompanion to load and work correctly. Switching back to Thai caused WoWCompanion to fail again. Just FYI.

Like the title says it does what it’s made to do. It’s nice to run missions while not at the computer, and a must have if you play a lot of alts. Sometimes I’ll log off the game to do missions with WoWCompanion because it’s easier than logging in to all my alts.

It does have some issues wi... Show more th crashing, but usually restarting the phone (iPhone) fixes that. After a restart it works well for a good long while but eventually goes back to crashing.

Overall four stars because of the crashing, but that’s easy enough to fix.

The 1 star reviews are nonsense and come from players who have zero understanding of this game.

Let’s break it down. Then app allows you communicate with your guild and communities. It’s other function being you can access your command table to do missions.

Why people hate it:
... Show more r> 1.When legion came out you could access your specific class hall talent tree. It was great when legion was relevant but they did away with this function before BFA dropped and there was no reason to add it back because it was unnecessary.

2. No AH. While the AH was a great addition to WoWCompanion they decided to take it down due to botting. Really though, this makes sense and nobody wants to be “that guy” who says they support botting.

Use WoWCompanion for its intended purposes and you will enjoy it. Keep up the great work everyone!

WoWCompanion is great for two things: Mission Tables and Community chat. There’s some minor news functions, and the calendar, but it doesn’t feel like those are the POINT of WoWCompanion . Missions are easier and faster to run through WoWCompanion than at the in-game stations, and you can check c... Show more hat anytime.

The only thing I wish it did was show achievements in WoWCompanion chat. My guildmates often congratulate someone and I have no idea why. I’d love to know whether people are doing old content, or collecting titles, or grinding for big achievements like TC8 or the mount collections.

It goes without saying this is a really awesome idea, I just downloaded it and I’m looking forward to seeing what good I can make of it. I’m very surprised there’s no reviews of WoWCompanion except for one, so I’m literally the second one and assuming there would be so many reviews to check out in... Show more relation to WoWCompanion ? Either way I’m giving it a shot hopefully it works out, seems like something very useful to have.

I’m brand new to WoW. I like WoWCompanion because it helps me plan what to do with my time and maximize the rewards. I can choose and complete missions while at work, and choose which daily quests and rewards fit what I would like to do as soon as I can get to a computer. It’s a great companion ap... Show more p that’s lets you see the entirety of quests to complete. 10/10 (although I’m a noob so take it with a grain of salt)

I use WoWCompanion to do my “maintenance” on my characters before I go into the game. WoWCompanion lets me get the legion and bfa missions out of the way much quicker than in game. I am not sure why they didn’t add draenor garrison missions while they were add it, though.

I am not sure why... Show more there are reviews of WoWCompanion running slow or not working. The first two days after legion was added, it worked off and on but the issues have been addressed and it works awesome. I’d say if you have an issue with this or any app, reboot your phone or reinstall before you slam an app.

Thank you Blizzard!😊

I keep logging in, then get a screen that says my character is already logged in. I login again, and I’m taken back to the same screen telling me my character is already logged in. I tried it with each character and it works the same. WoWCompanion was released without working. Who does that?

First off, let me start by saying this is not a perfect app. The largest purpose of WoWCompanion, to me, is to be able to remotely log into the game and send your followers out on missions for various rewards. These missions require different amounts of time to complete. I don’t get to play every ... Show more day, so being able to log in for a few minutes and send the followers out on missions that only take a few hours to complete is very convenient.

If you’re wanting to be able to complete as many missions as possible in the time you’re not logged into the game, WoWCompanion is perfect.

As for the other uses, guild chat, calendar, etc. I’m sure they’re fine and could use improvement. WoWCompanion is free and it does its main purpose very well.

I like using WoWCompanion to recruit troops and start missions. It’s easy to manage in just a few minutes at a time throughout the day.

I previously reviewed WoWCompanion and mentioned connectivity issues. After using WoWCompanion on my cell internet instead of our spotty WiFi, I have sin... Show more ce not experienced these issues.

My device is a iphone 11 with 14.1 iOS and WoWCompanion is the newest version

App keeps crashing during latest update. Haven’t used WoWCompanion since legion. Still having similar problems as back then. Also, Auction House made it so much more useful. But that’s gone too.

I been looking for this game for years I used to play it long ago..

Useful for sending followers on missions. Would be better if you could use it while also out in the field in the actual game. Would also be nice if draenor followers were supported since that was the expansion that I really wanted something like this, but it didn’t come until legion. And as always,... Show more I miss having the auction hall functionality of the mobile armory app.

Legion missions are very welcomed addition and I hope they add Draenor soon. After the update though it has to load/authenticate when switching characters (to be clear this doesn’t require logging in again each time).
