### 5/5 — Best alchemy tool ever!!!

*2022-07-17, version 2.0*

This app is so awesome!  So easy to use and super fast!!! Just needs to include the Rare Curios (Anniversary Edition) ingredients, for example Steel Blue Entoloma.

### 5/5 — Xbox is trthefhrfhtr

*2021-03-05, version 2.0*

It helped me 100% Skyrim.

### 1/5 — Hidden paywall for the features they advertise

*2020-09-09, version 2.0*

Why do you advertise the stuff we need to buy saying that’s the “free” app. When companies do that, they are lying to get me to a webpage.  Will be deleting now. I usually don’t think to take the time to tell the store why

### 5/5 — Great Guide

*2020-04-02, version 2.0*

Amazing, very simple, easy to use. Good for all builds, 10/10.

### 5/5 — Uniquely Helpful

*2019-04-14, version 2.0*

This is the one Skyrim Alchemy app that does exactly what I want. Totally worth the 99¢ for the additional features, or even as a simple thanks for making this available.

### 5/5 — A must have.

*2019-01-26, version 2.0*

This app helps sort out what effects each ingredient does.   It also shows what other ingredients to mix with to help unlock and make those with.   Helps reduce much time than what the game suggests to mix things together randomly.

### 5/5 — Beat app of its kind

*2018-08-18, version 2.0*

Easily the best app of its kind. Versatile, efficient interface, easy to use. Just bought the planner to save even more time.

### 5/5 — Won my heart

*2018-07-20, version 2.0*

Very well organized guide. Two separate menus for ingredients and effects is a very good idea. Accurate, simple, really smooth, and effortlessly helpful. Love it a lot. My only tiny complaint is that when I go back to the ingredients menu it scrolls up to the top on its own instead of keeping me where I was. Not annoying enough to lose a star though. Thank you for making it and keeping it free <3

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2017-12-09, version 2.0*

Still the best alchemy Skyrim app out there. Good job!!!

### 5/5 — Well done

*2017-09-08, version 2.0*

Very efficient to look for proper ingredients. Though there are some minor bugs, it's 99% well done.
