### 2/5 — Ads now?

*2026-08-15, version 2.3.3*

I don't mind you making a living, but the ads are ugly. How do I pay to get rid of them?

### 1/5 — Glitchy and Ads

*2026-08-14, version 2.3.3*

Switched over to another app after all of the issues with this one freezing and still showing ad bars across the bottom.

### 3/5 — Critter Catalogue in the Wrong Order?

*2026-08-12, version 2.3.3*

I'm not sure what happened in the latest version, but there's a sorting issue with the "Critters" menu.  The option to sort the catalogue of bugs, fish, or sea creatures on this app by name, value, or in-game order has always been a nice feature on this app.  However!  When I sort the bugs by "#," which I take to mean by "in-game Critterpedia order," the list order in this app does NOT match the order in the game.  For example, the Giant Cicada in the game is listed with the other cicadas, between the Robust and Walker.  But in this app, it's listed separately toward the end after Tarantula, Scorpion, and Stinkbug.  This discrepancy makes cross-referencing my collection a pain.

### 3/5 — has some flaws

*2026-08-10, version 2.3.3*

this app was really useful at first, but one day i opened it and there were adds everywhere, which really was annoying. it also is sometimes buggy and i have to close and reopen the app when trying to exit or enter a certain tab.

### 5/5 — So good!

*2026-08-08, version 2.3.3*

I just noticed some translation mistakes, the app is pretty nice and complete tough :)

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-08-08, version 2.3.3*

This app seems to have everything the game has. I frequently have issues with it freezing or not being able to push certain buttons. It makes it very frustrating when trying to get everything in my inventory catalogued.

### 2/5 — Used to be great, but is now unstable

*2026-08-07, version 2.3.3*

I never noticed any issues with this app in the past, but I’ve used it recently, it freezes and glitches CONSTANTLY. Buttons will stop working and I’ll get stuck in a menu or be unable to go to a section because the buttons stop working. It makes this app such a chore to use now and almost not worth using at all because it happens so frequently

### 2/5 — So glitchy

*2026-08-06, version 2.3.3*

Nice to help with when and where to catch and obtain creatures/items but cataloging system is so buggy. Cant mark certain DIYs as learned, or certain items as catalogued. It I do too much navigating it freezes and I have to restart. Gonna have to switch to another app.

### 2/5 — Freezes too much

*2026-08-02, version 2.3.3*

This app is great to keep track of things but it freezes on me a lot and I am constantly having to close it out and then back in it just for it to work for a little bit then it stops

### 3/5 — Good but glitchy

*2026-08-02, version 2.3.3*

I find it difficult to catalogue anything because at a certain point the app freezes and you have to close it before you can add the item. It does this VERY frequently. I can add two or three things and then it crashes.
