Really long lists on a phone need a way to quickly skip ahead and this doesn’t have a way to do it. But the quick ability to tap what I have and it shows me what to make is fantastic. Really well done. The UX is a little weird in that I have to keep remembering not to hit back, but it works really well. ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-02-26* I purchased the app and am enjoying it. My only issue is that it continues to add Trama Root to my list when in the lab, whether I leave it out or when I make sure it's not checked. ### 4/5 — I zoomed through Alchemy thanks to this app... *2015-02-10* ...my only suggestion is that Dawnguard ingredients get added to the upgraded version. Other then that, this is the "cheat sheet" that made me the boss of potions & poisons in Skyrim. Made lots of LEGITIMATE septims this way :). ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-02-07, version 1.8* Awesome guide, super helpful, love the multiple ways to look up potions. You can't get a guide like this just by going online! ### 5/5 — Perfetta *2015-02-05, version 1.8* Utilissima, da comprare ad occhi chiusi 👍 ### 3/5 — Needs DLC support *2014-11-22, version 1.8* This is a handy app, however, it really should support the ingredients made available from the DLC to make it truly useful. ### 5/5 — Very good !! *2014-10-08, version 1.8* Search bar would be nice but really useful!!! ### 5/5 — Pop *2014-08-30, version 1.8* Awesome! ### 5/5 — SUPER!! *2014-07-16, version 1.8* 😀👍 ### 5/5 — Alles Top *2014-06-14* War mir eine riesen Hilfe ### 3/5 — No iPad Landscape, No Search Function- Otherwise great. *2014-06-11* I just got around to playing Skyrim- I know, I'm late to the game (literally). This app is very useful- although without landscape support or a search feature, you will be looking and scrolling, and scrolling, and.... Could be a 5 star app- If not having landscape not being able to search doesn't bother you- this is a 5 star app for you. ### 5/5 — Good app *2014-05-24, version 1.8* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Einfach Super *2014-05-18* Einfach und Super. ### 5/5 — Grazie *2014-02-21, version 1.8* Grazie mille per l'app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WARNING NO SUPPORT FOR PSVR *2020-01-31, version 2.0* I ONLY PURCHASED THIS APP FOR THE PSVR SUPPORT. I WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW IT WOULD WORK BUT OPENED THE APP AND THERES NO MENTION OF IT ALSO IT DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE NETWORK SO YOU STILL HAVE TO ADD AND REMOVE INVENTORY AS IT IS FOUND AND USED, WHICH CAN BE A PAIN WHEN WEARING A VR HEADSET. I SPENT £1.99 SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO THE FREE APPS ARE JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER. ### 1/5 — iOS 11 *2017-09-07* Bis jetzt kein Update auf 64bi, heißt mit iOS11 geht die App nicht mehr ### 1/5 — Was a 5 now a 1 (would vote zero if I could) *2015-10-17* This used to be one of the most useful apps when playing Skyrim, I could select an ingredient, then pick an effect and see what other ingredients to combine with to get that effect. It does not appear to work anymore for what I used it to do, one can argue "well then its just a cheater app", well there are plenty of websites that do the same thing and even know a guy who wrote one himself. I will not even go into the other stuff that I found that made me think this once wonderful app has gone to hell. This is about as disappointing as when Lutz sold Reflector to RedGate. Im uninstalling and moving on. ### 1/5 — Not good *2015-02-22, version 1.8* There are better, cheaper ones. ### 1/5 — MONEY STEALER *2014-11-10, version 1.8* If you're looking for a fun alchemy game where you get to create your own potions, this is not the right app. I FRIKIN SPENT 2 DOLLARS ON THIS PIECE OF POOP. Please, update the description and make it OBVIOUS about what this game is. Actually, it's not a game. It's a frikin cheat guide. Don't waste your time OR money. ### 1/5 — Needs bug fixes! *2013-07-02, version 1.8* Before the release of the dlcs, this app was 5 stars, but now the bugs are driving me nuts! The app adds ingredients randomly and messes up my recipe lists. I spend half my time deleting ingredients from the inventory list I never entered. ### 1/5 — Bewertung *2013-05-22, version 1.8* Also ich bin ein großer Fan von Skyrim habe allerdings die Alchemie noch nie so richtig verstanden vieleicht hilft mir diese App. Dies ist die erste Bewertung nach längerem Testen der App schreibe ich eine neu ;-) ### 1/5 — None of the buttons work! *2013-01-10, version 1.6* Bought the app, but I can't mix ingredients or see any values because none of the interactive buttons respond to my touch. ### 1/5 — Soldi buttati *2012-06-22, version 1.6* Fate prima ad andare direttamente su wiki per cercare le info che vi servono! Risparmiateveli sti soldi ### 2/5 — Not the best way to spend my money... *2014-08-26, version 1.8* It does what it's supposed to, but the fancy font makes my eyes bleed, the interface is clunky and removing ingredients as you craft potions is painful (multiple button presses to switch menus, erratic scrolling, etc). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it but needs creation club *2024-08-15, version 2.0* I love this app i been using it 6+ years and o would love if it was updated to include creation club ingredients ### 5/5 — New ingredients and effects *2022-07-08* You should add the 62 new ingredients and 4 new effects from the creation club ### 5/5 — Super gemacht! *2018-06-10* Einfach zu bedienen! Wunderschön und Lorefriendly! ### 5/5 — Ottima!!!!!!!! *2018-01-01, version 2.0* Sempre Top dagli albori. Grazie per l’aggiornamento Ruben, ora posso rispolverare il mio Skyrim. ### 5/5 — Die App ist der Hammer! *2016-11-30* Nie wieder dumm rumraten und ewig viele Zutaten bei Versuchen verblödeln! ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful *2016-11-02, version 1.8* Shows you what effects ingredients have and which potions you can craft. Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Worth Every Penny *2016-04-17* Endlich ingame Geld verdienen als Alchemist, ohne vorher zu Testzwecken menschliche Herzen oder die Zehen eines Riesen verspeisen zu müssen 😄 ### 5/5 — I'm sorry, this is wonderful! *2015-06-15* I originally wrote a post without going through the entire app first. You do have all the DLC ingredients and that truly made my day (click on settings to add the DLC one) thank you thank you and as promised, I reviewed with 5 stars! I hope when Bethesda comes out with the next elder scrolls your team will create another app. I will buy that one too! ### 5/5 — Great Guide *2015-05-09, version 1.8* I Honestly think this is a great alchemy guide! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2015-03-12* Allows sleek and easy look up of ingredients. Further allows the user to maximize ingredients for both gold and experience. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
