Companion App requested improvements

Dear Bungie, I enjoy using Destiny's Companion App. I use it daily for everything Destiny related, such as right now. It can do useful things that the website doesn't pull off smoothly, or sometimes at all. Since starting to use a tablet, I hardly use the browser version at all. Despite its power and capability, there are some things I wish the Companion App could do better. Here they are. 1) I wish the Forum offered all of the same functionality and facility as its browser counterpart, and more. For example, you can't browse Forum subsections such as Destiny > Endgame. Or you can't Like/Dislike a post, or even view its Likes/Dislikes for that matter. Or you can't choose to sort posts by Latest, Trending, etc. Or you can't re-label a thread as a question once you've already created it. Or the way your cursor gets stuck on words and is clunky while you're writing/editing a post. There are just a number of little, helpful functions the browser site has that the App lacks. 2) I wish the Companion App had a custom interface for tablets. Currently, it is just a scaled up version of the smartphone interface. The fonts are kind of big and clumsy looking, and I much prefer the layout and aesthetic of the website. Also, the App currently doesn't rotate with your device orientation; something that would be helpful when reclining with the charger plugged into the bottom. I'm not complaining; it is a well made, easy-to-navigate app. I just wish the tablet wasn't an afterthought, but a beautiful experience itself. I feel like the Companion App is meant to be the one-stop shop for Destiny if you're on mobile. The ultimate hub. You shouldn't need to resort to the browser for some lone feature it's lacking. It should be the ultimate way to interface with Destiny and the Community outside of the game itself. I hope the Companion App will continue to grow more refined and sophisticated, and be my standalone source for all things Destiny. Thanks! Edit: Found there actually is a 'Sort by: Latest, Trending, etc' feature. Guess my eye didn't gravitate there. Sorry about that.

    Another improvement to the Companion App would be to the Bungie Weekly Update pages, as well as the Hot Fix pages. Currently, they are zoomed in so far you can only read about a third of a text line at a time. You can try zooming out, but it doesn't stay; it pops right back in. So you have to do a lot of dragging just to read a single sentence across, and it's a laborious and unenjoyable way to read. Anyway, just something I've been noticing, and I'm glad these pages are easy to find on the App.
