### 2/5 — Was great when it worked

*2026-04-21, version 1.7*

Needs an update. It was great until it suddenly stopped working. Would be 5 stars if it still worked

### 3/5 — Missing great potion

*2025-06-13, version 1.7*

It’s okay but doesn’t have a potion for giants toe and wheat which is a great potion with nothing in alchemy it’s like 420 if you add creep cluster it’s almost 600.

### 5/5 — Good But Missing Ingredients

*2023-02-16*

Very good, clean app that’s easy to use. You can add or remove ingredients without much trouble and I like that it automatically sorts by potion value. The only issue I’ve run into is that it doesn’t have all of the ingredients found in DLCs or later versions of the game. It’s not a big deal, but I play AE so it can be a bit of an adventure sometimes.

### 5/5 — By The Nine!

*2023-01-10*

I’ve had this app for a while and it’s a blessing. It’s simple too. I always go back to this when I find myself in Tamriel.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2022-10-23*

This app is useful however it would help if the ingredients from Anniversary Edition was added too at some point. But even if they are not it is still a great app and still deserve 5stars.

### 5/5 — easy to use once you figure it out!

*2022-08-10*

the other app i was using got complicated out of nowhere— i like how simple this is to use and how you can sort through what potions you want to have! and it’s completely free. no ads or anything either. 

i also really like that i can go through types of effects and what ingredients i need for them, and it pulls up the wiki to further help find those ingredients. it also keeps your inventory, even if you close out of the app. 

underrated, deserves more reviews to boost the downloads :)

### 5/5 — Die Beste Skyrim Alchemy App!

*2022-07-07*

Wunderschönes Design, mit Liebe gemacht und in Deutsch! Chapeu an die Entwickler!

### 4/5 — Needs Update For Anniversary Edition

*2022-01-30*

There have been around 50ish new ingredients added to Skyrim with the rare curios, would be very helpful if there was an update for this as the fourth DLC option.

### 5/5 — well rounded and easy to use

*2021-12-25, version 1.7*

i love the lore-friendly design and many features, namely one: selecting what is in my personal inventory and showing the most ideal potions i could create with those ingredients

### 1/5 — Doesn’t include DLC ingredients

*2021-11-25, version 1.7*

Please add the 17 new ingredients by the new DLC’s. Maybe even the new ones from anniversary edition.
