Useful addition to the game

This app offers a lot of free info invaluable to the game. I haven’t paid for the additional info yet but will probably invest the £3.99 as it looks like great value for money. Detailed maps for shrines, quests, monsters and treasures makes the game a lot more fun. Thanks for the effort in making this!

Help.

So I got this app, and I was so excited, and I saw the things that your had to spend money on, and I was fine with that. I mean, most of botw guides are like 30 bucks, and this was 4 dollars. I couldn't download the map, because we had to go on a big car trip right after I downloaded the app, so I didn't have any wifi. When we got home I was so excited, I would hang in the basement and get all the shrines in the game. But when I tried to download it, it said the servers weren't working or something. I was so mad, because I was finally going to find the shrines. I tried it again and again, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if it's my phone or what, but please fix this! And I will guarantee you will get that 4 dollars. I'm going to get a iTunes gift card soon.
Thank you for reading.

For the map you can select a specific region where your download is coming from (Just tap on the 'Any region server' box). If the american one is not working for you, please try the european or asian server to download the map data.

Great Guide , tricky sales model

Out of the box, this product has a great interactive map. Many of the details need to be unlocked. For the price, it still beats buying a printed user guide. Also, the search convenience of an app beats finding stuff in a printed book. Finally, internet searching tends to be a require of a learning curve as you get used to different website layouts.

My one gripe is that if you buy one or more pages and then buy “all pages” you don’t get credit for your previous purchases. There should be a discount for people who want to check out the usefulness of this product before buying it all the way.

Huge disappointment

I was so excited when I found out about this app. Unfortunately, it simply won’t work at all. I downloaded the large map, and it got to 100%, then just crashed. When I reopened the app, it stated again that I needed to download. I tried the small map download. It also crashed, this time before it finished the download. I checked my available storage. I closed down every other app. I restarted my iPad. I deleted and reinstalled the app. I have tried to download a map eight times. Nothing. I would have happily paid for an app with this functionality that worked. Instead, I’m furious and frustrated and wish I hadn’t wasted this much time. Back to hunting my last 192 Korok seeds the old fashioned, painful way :( and eff you for getting my hopes up, too!

Almost perfect game companion

Love the app and the different options made available. It’s diverse and has great response to my needs.

Problems? Every so often the app crashes when I am zoomed in more than halfway. Dragging the map around at anything OTHER than halfway lags the map.
Also, it says in a couple places to “feel free to email [the developer]” but the App Store takes me to some German(?) site and there is no email that I saw listed within the app.

Improvements? I have two wishes for this app. I wish they had made an in-app purchase that combines the additional pages(compendium, recipes, monster information, etc.) and the removal of ads. Even if it’s the same price as buying them separate, I still think it should have been an option.
My second wish? I wish there was an option on the map to hide the areas of the map whose main towers I have not yet visited or do not wish to see. It’s a bit complicated trying to find where I am, sometimes, and being able to hide certain parts of the map would be an excellent tool to help me find my way.

Overall I love this app. It is a nice, clean companion to my game. :)

Brilliant!!

Super happy with this app, has helped me so much, and so useful for tracking etc... definitely worth supporting the author!

My only bugbear (and it’s very minor), is that it’d be great if I could unlock and remove ads with a single purchase... Not a big deal though :)

Best BotW companion app

This app is fantastic. The wealth of information is astounding and works perfectly as a checklist.

I constantly have this app open now if I’m struggling to find a nearby Korok, or tracking what side quests I have left to do.

Also, the included guides are brilliant. Dragon farming and the trials were so much easier with this app!

Extremely useful

Thanks for this! Makes it a whole lot easier to follow while I have the switch in my hand. It was difficult for me to follow while looking at the guide book. But this is so clear as I can check things off.

In app purchase

I purchased all the pages but for some reason it's just not unlocking for me. The purchase was successful and I've already seen the receipt on iTunes to prove that. Uninstalling and restoring the purchase doesn't do anything either. Maybe it's a bug with the app? Or maybe I'm out a few bucks. Cool map though.

Edit: Sent an email. Hope we can get it figured out!

Edit: I was able to get a refund following my first attempt at purchasing all the pages for the app. After the recent update I was able to successfully purchase all the pages and they are all unlocked!

Response from developer

Did you get any error message? You should see a response for your click (a success message or a error message). Feel free to contact me directly via mail so that we can find a solution to your problem. It is maybe referring to a known problem with the In-App-Purchase interface.

Great, but...

I just began using this app as I've restarted on Master mode - and the very first Korok seed I found isn't on the map (It's in the south of the lake that is the second lake in a south westerly direction from the Oman Au Shrine - a ball in a stump type)
I'm interested to know how complete the map is?
Also had an app crash already straight after the map downloaded
Looks good though, thank you

Response from developer

I'm 100% sure any korok is in the app because I use it multiple times to collect all 900 (also in Master mode). Please make sure that "Done"-marked entries are also visible with the map filter (top right gear symbol).
