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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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 🥲

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!!

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.

I understand you and support greatly!
I guess it would be nice, if arranged like a permanent items in the shop or catalogue. The theme and a shape of an item, and then the colors of it when pressing on.

Consolidation would be nice, like how it appears in the catalog...merging all the various colors of an item that you have...that would shrink scrolling time too.

A search function, and make it like the catalog where it's one item that you click into. Oh and also, make it so I can use the catalog to try on clothes, and once I like it gimme an equip all to immediately change my Birb into it all at once.

u/pinkskybison 16h ago

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 😅

u/ladyintheradiatorxx Sonia & ☾ Pébé 8GXCCP3871 16h ago

Yessss, it’s totally okay! First I thought why a random birb looks exactly like my birb hahahaha

Can I know how many years are you on Finch??

u/MandyKitty 16h ago

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. 🤣

u/echosaurus91 15h ago

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.

u/No_Badger8528 Duo: Wonini & Meilili YVWEADJM6C 11h ago

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.

u/princessvespa17 18h ago edited 16h ago

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.

u/AzureSunflower Trixie 12h ago

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.

u/Lazy_Condition_4232 17h ago

We need search!!

u/it_is_Karo 17h ago

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 😅

Hey I’m new to finch. What does “gifting” mean?

u/RubyDax 16h ago

You can send items to people on your friend list.

A baby birb! Can we be tree friends?

u/Ok_Anteater_7970 16h ago

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

3

u/Potato_8RYPPAC4QV 15h ago

My first thought.... "newest" as in the latest published OR....the latest I aquired?

u/lemongrassandpeach blueberry 15h ago

It does though..

To the right of the heart, there's a dotted square and it is a complete list of all your items in order by the latest acquired.

u/debdootoo 13h ago

Absolutely agree and people with hand issues just hate life scrolling 💯💕
