Characters are no longer sorted by level and name - instead, your list of characters are based on when you last logged on to them, with popular ones at the top and those you’ve forgotten at the bottom, regardless of level. One final UI improvement that I find very helpful is the ability to “favorite” characters. I don’t know if the intention is to eventually make the horizontal scroll only show “high priority” news articles, but right now it’s a waste of space.įun fact: I keep crashing out the App if I try to scroll too far down the list of news articles! I wonder what’s so devastating from July that my phone doesn’t want me to read it? It’s a bit wonky in the presentation, though: the top third of the screen is taken up by an automated horizontal scroll of news articles that has the same content as the scrollable vertical preview of news articles below it.

The news option is similar to the loading screen, although you can now read the full article within the App. Social and calendar work the same as before, although it appears it’s not synched to your communities in-game so you’ll need to add them manually until such time that Blizzard fixes this. There are now four functions across the top: News, Social, Expansion, and Calendar. When it does finish loading, the first main difference you’ll see is below your character name.

How does the update compare to the original?
In case you were wondering, the load time both into the App and switching characters does not appear to be substantially reduced with this update, so if you were annoyed by it before, you’ll continue to be annoyed. You can’t navigate from the loading screen, so you’re just seeing short headlines and a small blurb, but if you are genuinely interested in more information we’ll cover the news function shortly. The first thing you notice upon logging in is that as the App loads you are treated to a scrollable feed of the latest news.
Now live and working - at least when the servers are working - let’s take a look at what the Companion App can do for us. Fortunately, Blizzard has a plan for our resources, and that’s to give the WoW Companion App access to multiple expansions in the latest update. Now that the Battle for Azeroth has ended and Sylvanas is out and about kidnapping faction leaders, it’s time to reflect on all the war resources we’ve earned and wonder what the heck we’re going to do with them in Shadowlands.
