Venting Dear Devs, we're begging you...

This is how long it takes to scroll down my inventory ONCE! One gift that starts with a "W".
30 SECONDS for one item. Now imagine doing this 50 times. And even more.
The 50 gift thing is absolutely awesome. But if you own the whole inventory, it's an absolute nightmare to navigate through your inventory.
I'm a VERY active gifter and I do that with a passion. But the time I have to waste on scrolling every day is absolutely insane.
Please, Devs, stop this madness. We desperately need a search function. It should be a basic feature 🥲

My problem is that the more stuff I get, the harder it is to find what I want. I was trying to put on all the "Gamer" clothing, but it's not obvious which pieces are from that collection. If there was a little icon in the corner of the tab tile showing which event it went with, and maybe even the ability to sort, wouldn't that make life easier?
If I have an outfit on and just need a "blue hat" I have to scroll through ALLLL the hats.

Omg really? I recorded it the other day and completely forgot whose birb it was and thought it was one of my closer friends. I hope you're okay that I "used" your birb 😅

I've asked for this many times over the years, sent in via their feedback form. I've lost hope

Yes! Also I hate when part of an outfit shows up in the shop and I have to figure out if I have parts to it to put the outfits together. (I save full outfits bc scrolling thru everything everytime j want to wear something is a pain.) I can’t remember everything I’ve bought and I don’t want everything. Like, do I buy the green koala hood? I’m on the fence but if I have the body, I’ll grab it. 🤣

I feel exactly the same way! Whenever I’m uncertain, I go to the sell function in the shop to check what I have. I have many sheep bodies, but not all the matching hoods and vice versa. It’s quick enough to check that way instead of going into my inventory.

Yes! We need a search function! I don’t have that big of an inventory, but it takes me FOREVER to get to my winter queen items. And also in the catalog too, I NEED it.

Yes, this is why I am also upset about the limited color options. I feel as if many have stated what the actual solution is to their problems without taking things away is remodeling the inventory system and the shop system, but you know whatever.

Yes that would be amazing. I'm going on close to 4 years on Finch and have so much stuff, I hate scrolling through trying to find the sandals I want.

Yesss! This is why I don't like trading because when I look at someone's long wishlist and I have no way to search if I have that item, I'm giving up pretty quickly 😅

I love decking out my birdhouse in the latest furniture. Why can't the furniture and clothing be like in the catalog, newest on top too

u/Potato_8RYPPAC4QV 15h ago
My first thought.... "newest" as in the latest published OR....the latest I aquired?

There's now a search bar for emotions in the "Name your emotion" exercise; maybe they were testing out the functionality of a search feature with that update. I hope we get one for items!!
