Amazing app that just works

While it may seem a little intimidating from its lack of ui, once you’ve figured it out it is the one stop shop for on the fly potion making. I found my self stuck in a sticky situation while fighting a forsworn camp, I loaded up this app and thanks to it, made an invisibility potion that saved my bottom. Couldn’t recommend it enough. 10/10 app

Super Fast Leveling. Add quantity option?

This app helps me level up really quick, but I’d like to be able to enter how many of each ingredient I have so that I don’t have to remove each ingredient that I run out of one by one.

Good app

The only issue with this app is that it’s missing quite a few DLC and Anniversary Edition ingredients that have been added recently. I really like how simple this app is to use, it doesn’t over complicate things and the interface is really easy to understand and navigate. This app has made me a ton of gold. Other than the missing ingredients, it’s super awesome. Would rate five stars if it had all the ingredients.

Great tool, could use an update

This is the best tool for Skyrim alchemy that I’ve found. Great job Dave. Any chance you’d revisit the ingredient list now that Fishing and Rare Curios are free to everyone? Would be nice to have the new ingredients available in the tool.

Would also be extremely helpful if I could change ingredients from “may have” to “can’t have” on the recipe screen.

My process is:
Select all ingredients I have to “may”
Go to recipes and sort as needed
While have ingredients
Make top potion
If out of ingredient
Remove ingredient(s) from ingredient screen

That last bit, removing ingredients, can be done from clicking an ingredient on the recipe screen if I’m removing 1 ingredient but I don’t like how it sets the ingredient details to “more” when I select one. When I have to remove multiple ingredients at a time, I have to go to the ingredients screen, and if I’ve removed any ingredients prior using the recipe screen method, it’s an added tap for me to reset the ingredient details to “less” to scroll.

Long story short, maybe more user friendly if the more/less on ingredients can stay static and only change when I want them to.

The Best Interface

Of the different Skyrim alchemy apps, this one is the easiest to use by far. The only drawback of it is that it doesn’t support the new ingredients found in Anniversary Edition.

Broken on iPhone 14

The app is definitely not optimized for iPhone 14 (was last updated 10 months ago at the time of this review). Things run off the screen and are cut off, on the recipe tab the ingredients/effects column is so squished you can’t read it and the checkbox is cut off. Definitely do not recommend this app unless the dev updates it.

Incredibly helpful

Makes leveling up alchemy and making a ton of coin on top super easy…this is a must have app unless you want to get frustrated and give up on alchemy like I did in my previous playthroughs. Add some enchanted gear, and coin will never be an issue.

Of all the potions I made in my last alchemy session (at least 50+…I had been collecting ingredients for a while), only one or two were busts. Great job developers, and thanks!!!

Preferred the original format

This app has always been my go to for Skyrim and when I noticed the update I was excited because I thought it had the new ingredients. Unfortunately, the new format is too much of a headache to operate because it just has extra stuff that is not needed. It makes my alchemy a lot slower.

Utterly ruined by update

What a great app this was until the most recent update (April 2022). The app is now virtually unusable. Completely unlike how it was and makes no sense at all. A fantastic app totally ruined.
As the old saying goes: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.
I’ll be looking for a new app to use. What a waste.
