The app has many uses, and is bound to keep getting more, but I wanted to point out that it's especially useful for groups like ours which use only proximity voice (actually, I think we're the only group doing this, as far as I know, apart from groups of randoms formed inside the game that haven't got on Discord yet; i.e. we're the only group doing it intentionally).

So if you have your phone (or better yet a tablet) on all the time, you can monitor the location of all your teammates, so you won't have to search for them. This IS a bit of a cheese, and it would be better if this functionality could only be unlocked by crafting an item in the game and carrying it with you, like a GPS unit, but I think that proximity voice is already such a big handicap that softening it a little this way is not a huge deal. You're still handicapped in tons of ways, but you just don't have to go searching for your friends all the time. And anything that makes me use the app more is a plus in my book. So keep that phone, or preferably a tablet, handy!
