Why does ESO not have a companion app?

I would absolutely love an app that I can access on my phone that would display my characters current stats, researched​ and unresearched traits, locked and unlocked skills and morphs, current quests, completed quests, view inventory and bank, cyrodil stuff(sorry haven't played pvp yet) achievements, current gear, cp, a high-definition map. Maybe even take it a step further by making it interactable with the ability to change your skills set up, chat, open and send email, manage guilds, make a customizable list for your dailies, ability to see a detailed version of your friends characters and stats and stuff like that. If there is anything similar to what I just described please let me know if not, would it be possible for a third party to develop something like this? It would make gameplay allot easier and smoother to have that info and it gives us something to do when we're not at home playing. I'm on Xbox NA BTW

    Because making fancy crown items, crown crates and anything that costs you IRL money is more important...

    There's a useful one for Android called ESO Toolkit that'll track your research times, but there's a bit of setup involved.

    I'd like one, too, wow has two, but I doubt it'll happen.

    Can recommend ESO Toolkit, as well as research tracker its great for set info too.

    As far as a companion app goes, if nothing else I'd be happy with one that just let's us manage mails; It's so annoying trying to do it in game sometimes. Bonus points if it let's us send attachments straight to the bank or a selected character's inventory from our phones. Using it for text chat would be a close second (for Console - might not be so handy for PC).

    They cant be bothered to make a mildly useful auction house search function, and you think you can get an app out of them?

    Be good for riding lessons too but I remember mentioning it last year and was told by members it'd never happen and it would be best to not go on about it.

    Cause they don't care to spend time to put guides and detailed info on their websites, so an app is asking for even more

    I don't think that's true :p

    I suspect it's just a matter of it not being on the agenda + no manpower to devote to it

    *cough cough* @ZOS_MattFiror , Mr. Firor I need a job *cough cough* :D

    If they gave us a proper Eve-style API, the community could make the apps.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".
