Switch online requires Phone App? Why is no one talking about this?

And thats my point too. You can jump in and play random games online on the switch. 

But to fully utilize the switch and for deeper onljne features (and match making is one of these deeper features!!!) you need to have the mobile app which means you need to have a smartphone.

You don't have a smartphone?

Wow......

Well considering when I said, they should have a 4G version, people said just use your phone, apparently this is what people want.

Using your smartphone in that case would have been as turning on wifi hotspot. 

But having to use your phone to create game lobbies, invite your friends and chat with your friends or send mesages is just ridiculous.
