What does your ideal World of Warcraft mobile app look like?

Recently, we found out the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app was going to be retired. Or more accurately, it was going to be discontinued for the time being, with its most favorable features integrated into an upcoming “WoW Companion App.” It makes sense, too. The Legion Companion app is about to be one expansion too old, and the Mobile Armory app — having lost the Auction House — is largely void of integral features.

But that makes one wonder — what exactly does the Mobile Armory app currently have worth integrating into the Companion app? In my opinion, the Auction House was the most useful aspect of the Mobile Armory app. Without it, it’s basically… guild chat on the go? Which, in many players’ cases, is supplanted by Discord, Twitter DMs, or some other outside communication platform.

So I ask again: What exactly does the Mobile Armory app currently have worth integrating into the Companion app? If Blizzard doesn’t implement another mobile Auction House, I honestly can’t think of a major feature of the Mobile Armory that I’d like to see brought into a Companion app. Right now, I use the Companion app for missions. I used to use the Mobile Armory app for the Auction House. Those are my two key aspects of an all-around mobile WoW app.

But since we’re free to imagine here, why not take a second to wonder what the perfect version of a Companion app would be? For me, I think I’d want some sort of Pet Battle integration. I don’t know what, mind you, but the Pet Battle system has been begging for a mobile integration since it was implemented back in Mists of Pandaria. Pet battling in the world itself might be asking too much, but organizing pet teams, healing injured pets, and, heck, even PVP pet battles are all things I can see being doable.

And that’s just the first thing that jumped to my mind. What about you? What feature(s) would you like to see in a full, all-in-one World of Warcraft companion app??
