### 3/5 — Good app but damn near unusable with the amount of adding popping up every few minutes.

*2026-08-11, version 2.5.5*

Pls fix

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-08-09, version 2.5.5*

Very good, but seeing which end cities have end ships would be very helpful. Also, as far as I’ve seen there is no way to see villages in the overworld.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2026-06-29, version 2.5.0*

It’s a good app that actually helps you find structures but it has lots of ad’s when you scroll

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-06-28, version 2.5.0*

It works really well with no bugs just quite a lot of ads

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with add ons

*2026-05-31, version 2.3.3*

Doesn’t work with Minecraft in game add ons

### 1/5 — Can’t close add even after watching them

*2026-05-27, version 2.3.3*

You can’t close the adds even after watching them it make the app unusable.

### 1/5 — Loaded for 30 minutes

*2026-05-26, version 2.3.3*

I waited for this damn app to load for so long I reset my phone I reloaded the app I did everything it wouldn’t load, you get a 1 star because I could even try it.

### 1/5 — Similar problem

*2026-05-25, version 2.3.3*

I cannot leave a good review because it will not load on my phone but might be a me problem not the app

### 1/5 — It crashed

*2026-04-19, version 2.3.3*

Every time I opened it and clicked on a place to search for it crashed (btw this might be why but I am on iPhone 8) but every time I opened that feature it would crash please fix it

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-04-12, version 2.3.3*

Lots of adds only shows like 7 different structures just use chunk base by googling it.

### 1/5 — Broke

*2026-04-07, version 2.3.3*

It’s broken anytime you press a structure to see where it is it just crashes please fix.

### 1/5 — They barely update it…

*2026-03-29, version 2.3.3*

I can’t positively review the app with how little updates it gets. We’re pushing into a bigger update soon, and there’s not a single glimmer of an update to the app.

### 2/5 — Only works for biomes

*2026-03-23, version 2.3.3*

Whenever I put my minecraft seed and I go there to look and there’s nothing there no villages, no temples and the only thing that this app gets right is the biome(yes I did put the right seed I did it 3 times!)

### 3/5 — Can’t use anything

*2026-03-22, version 2.3.3*

Can’t find any structures even though they are there

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend

*2026-08-18, version 2.5.5*

Keep on getting ads that I have to close the app to skip and happens all the time borderline unusable

### 1/5 — Loading takes way to long

*2026-08-16, version 2.5.5*

I will never play this app ever again

### 1/5 — Needs updating for Minecraft versions

*2026-08-11, version 2.5.5*

Way behind on Minecraft versions

### 1/5 — Version

*2026-07-29, version 2.5.5*

Doesn’t include the new versions so it doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.0*

Can’t even use the app without getting an ad that won’t close

### 1/5 — Brooo

*2026-06-26, version 2.5.0*

It won’t show the structures pls fix this

### 1/5 — Hacked

*2026-06-23, version 2.5.0*

When I tried to use it it said your account has been hacked for being on adult sights run clean up program pls wright

### 1/5 — Basically unusable with all the ads

*2026-06-19, version 2.5.0*

Will either find another app, or make my own app. It’s too clunky with all the ads.

### 1/5 — Not Anymore

*2026-06-17, version 2.5.0*

Used to recommend this app to everyone I knew because it was so much better than writing coordinates and things in a book. Now with the subscription it’s useless. The best part about it used to be that it was free.

### 1/5 — Its basically not useable

*2026-06-12, version 2.5.0*

I cant go more than 3 minutes without getting a 40 second ad its so annoying do not recommend

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Missing ruined nether portal

*2026-08-11, version 2.5.5*

Very good, but you’re missing the ruin nether portal option

### 5/5 — Update?

*2026-08-08, version 2.5.5*

I love the app don’t get me wrong but the new mc sulfur update came and I was wondering were it was not trying to rush tho cause I know it takes time to work on it. But all around great app.

### 5/5 — Good but could be even better

*2026-06-24, version 2.5.0*

Great if you need to find structures and stuff but you need to add mob spawners. But even without the mob spawners it is good overall

### 5/5 — There needs to be two things,

*2026-06-21, version 2.5.0*

There needs to be a new locator thing for Sulphur Springs and when you select mob spawners if possible it most likely is it tells you which mob is gonna spawn in the spannerer

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2026-05-04*

I really like using the app as it’s pretty accurate and easy to use, although it was working yesterday, when I try to open the app today it just has this purple circle go around and around and won’t load, and I do have my internet on while this happens, idk what to do about it? But anyways, the app is really great!

### 5/5 — You can’t do anything unless you pay for PRO

*2026-03-20*

I’ve been using the browser for awhile but was looking to just get a app instead, found this one and was super excited until I downloaded it. At first I thought it was just a downloading problem but it wasn’t. DONT GET THIS APP UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY 💵💵

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that 😔

The app does have a free version you can use without paying, but with some limits so everyone can try the core features. If you need more worlds or unlimited POIs, that’s what the Pro version is for.

We’re also working on new models that will allow more usage supported by ads, so it can stay accessible to everyone. Thanks for giving it a try 🙏

### 5/5 — Works well I like it

*2026-02-07, version 2.3.3*

First thought I was a bad app until I downloaded it and it went well I got to find the stronghold matter of seconds thank you

### 5/5 — Very accurate

*2026-01-04, version 2.3.3*

It’s a very useful app and most of it is super accurate I 100 percent recommend

### 5/5 — Cool app Great concept...Buuttt☝️

*2025-12-09*

I really enjoy this ui with the crosshair and biome up top and all that. its easy and simple. Now with that being said there is a glitch where when you select to highlight a structure it crashes your app. I really like this app so I hope this gets fixed soon.

I hope you see this mr and or mrs developer man and or woman

Fireworks Dispenser 4 tha Win

Edit: thought id be helpful and list some off the structures that do not crash:

Geode, Slime Chunk,  Lava Pool, 

Everything else crashes.
its not much but im just doing what I can yknow
-
Fireworks Dispensers still dope

**Developer response:** Sorry you’re running into those crashes 😔 and thanks a lot for taking the time to list which structures work and which don’t, that’s super helpful 🙌

This definitely sounds like a bug and I’m already looking into it. In the meantime, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app, as some fixes may already be included there.

If you can, please send a short screen recording along with your device model and iOS version to emmekappa00@proton.me. That will help me pinpoint the issue much faster and get a fix out soon 🚀

Really appreciate the support and the detailed report, it makes a big difference! ⛏️

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-09, version 2.3.1*

I love it
