ETA on ESO Phone App?

If Bungie (Destiny) can make an app for inventory management, then ZOS (ESO) can absolutely make an app for inventory management, riding skill training, and daily hirelings.
It takes a total of about 30 minutes of enduring loading screens while switching between alt characters every time I log in (for hirelings, riding training, and DB supplier). It would be great to spend more playing, and less time managing everything.

Considering that people have asked for an Android/iOS app since just about the launch of the game, I would say there is no ETA. I just don't think ZOS sees it as a priority to work on.4 -

✭I would like a decent phone app.
It seems that developers promise these and then never deliver on them.....I guess I would rather hear nothing than a false promise.2 -

Probably never. Just because one game has an app does not mean every game should. Many top MMOs do not.3 -

They probably should. The benefit of having an app on a player's phone, in 2017 (when most players have phones that are always with them), can't be undersold. It's marketing for your own game (the very presence of the app, not to mention the potential of notifications), and it also opens up potential for ad-space selling.4 -

From the last round of interviews with ZOS, prior to the Morrowind launch:
"Rich Lambert considers the next jump in MMO "tech" to be the "second screen" - phone apps and social communication without being in-game - but this isn't something currently being planned for ESO."

xSkullfox✭✭✭✭✭If they would add a API then the devs here could make somehting useful.Groupfinder:
The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.
Rulz of Morrowind:- The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
- Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
- Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
- Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
- Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
- Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
- And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

✭It was something they planned but fell into the "too hard basket". So dont hold your breath, they have bigger fish to fry, like "getting their servers working properly" and "over land glitchs", "rock snaring" this list could go on0 -
Slack✭✭✭✭✭You need to log in to manage your stuff.
Many people logged in means more activity, even if it's just temporary.
And it's activity which might get lost if such an app was created.
On the other, having such thing would be very convenientPC EU

30 minutes to do all that? You're logging out in the wrong zone then. Logging in, checking mail, training horses and visiting the DB vendor takes me about 2 mins in Stormhold. Stable, Bank, and Refuge all near each other. Besides, on all my characters, only 2 don't have maxed out horses. Plus, do your mule characters REALLY need a mount???0 -

Yeah he was talking about how he thought it was the next logical step for MMOs in general. He wouldn't be involved in the creation of any app anyway, its not part of his job.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa2 -

You can interpret that quote as you like but I read it as he was speaking about MMOS in general and made the point of sayin "we have no plans" to not confuse any readers to draw the conclusion you reached like @Phage wrote above .3 -
