Instead I believe you should be asking for the following:
1. A more mobile-friendly lobby menu
2. Access to the GE via the game lobby

3. Push notifications for Grand Exchange offers.
4. Run in the background.
5. Always remain logged in.

The RS Companion was by no means perfect, but it offered many things the current mobile client does not. The latter isn't even a native app which limits the ability to pull off some things easily. Both apps serve different purposes - one to play the game, the other to complement the experience. Low on bank space? Click here .

Now, I know the companion app was a glorified browser. This is based on the simple fact that you could log into companion app from Google Chrome on a regular PC. Given that, then I would agree that if the game app could be updated to offer some of what the companion app brought to the table, then there is no need to bring companion back.

JAGEX, BRING RS COMPANION BACK!!! If we want to buy/sell something from Phone, we have to buy Bonds to get member to log in on the Mobile App!! What about us F2P Flippers/Merchanters? How will we be able to buy/sell items from phone?

SUPPORTING TO BRING THE RS COMPANION BACK IN LIFE!

Please bring back companion app, I took a 250 day break from this game and come back to find the companion app was gone, I feel like I would have taken twice as long to hit lvl99 crafting f2p if I wasn’t able to just log out on my pc with all my mats in bank, log into mobile companion app to sell mats and buy more, log out, log into pc. I have a 15 yr acc and getting more than just two 99’s would be more satisfying and less labor intensive to my physical health if there was a companion app for f2p :) definitely would use my mobile data on that app, idc how much more it used compared to a “newer app”. Thank you

I forgot to say that app saved my butt on stocking up on diamonds and rubies.... honestly when you have 200k gold bars and the buy limit restricts you to like 5k gems and your trying to hit the 99 soon, it was so very relaxing being able to take a week break from runescape to go work on all sorts of vehicular mechanical projects with just logging into my phone to continue to update my buying of materials to stock up for the weekend. That was a huge plus to runescape for that one and I am sad that it’s gone.

Ethan15751,

With Runescape mobile live the companion app is redundant at best. It was the whole reason it went by the way side.
When the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, when the clock strikes heavy and there’s no time for tea; and in our darkest hour, before my final rhyme, she will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time.

I'm sorry, but the Companion app will not be returning. It was based on the HTML5 version of the client, which as you know never quite made the grade and was dropped.

If you want some details of the problems with HTML5 and the companion app, then have a look at the interview Shauny did with Mod Pi recently. If you search for it on YouTube, the part about HTML5 and companion app starts around 1:35:30 Glad to be of service :) (Powered by GPP™ - Share and Enjoy!)

It wasn't redundant i use to trade an chat on it all the time now i have to log into the game with a screen so small i cant see it and it takes so much more time to buy and sell on ge in new mobile app version that i very rarely use the mobile app now unlike the companion app i use to use several times a day
Plus companion app didn't flatten my battery like mobile app does.

Bring back companion app
