### 5/5 — I love it

*2024-04-07*

Easy

### 4/5 — Failstack

*2021-05-13*

Needs blackstar in FS calc

### 1/5 — Semi useful, but not worth paying for

*2020-11-29, version 8.0.1*

Other than that I wrote to the dev asking for a simple timer that would notify you more than once, rather than just the one times it offers. Never got a response. This would be such a simple task for the dev to accomplish so it’s obvious he does not care. Next time I’ll do more research. For now, somethinglovely site did this on speed. Just would have been nice to use it on the phone. I see this app being dead in less than a year. And that’s being generous

### 1/5 — Not worth $0.01

*2020-11-05*

This app is nothing more then several lists that have zero detail. The calculators don’t provide any more Benefit then your desktop calculator.

### 1/5 — Totally unreliable with boss timer !

*2019-11-04, version 6.0.0*

This app has been plagued with incorrect timers since I started playing on PS4, waited for the fix which appears to have been last week from the dev but today again I received notifications and had already missed the boss. This dev does not really seem to care, looking for alternatives now.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2019-10-30*

Godsend for the serious BDO crafter. 

Can see what ingredients you need and calculate what else you need based on what you already have. 

Also has a great levelling up nap guide for your alt characters to get them levelled you without questing.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2019-08-06, version 5.6.8*

I have just started this game and this app has helped me heaps!! Thank you for making it. I bought it right away.

### 3/5 — Love app but now bugs

*2019-06-13*

I love this app but after its latest update it crashes every time I use. Please fix my favorite bdo app

### 3/5 — Could use item stats

*2019-04-15*

This app is great for crafting in bulk, boss timers, market prices and all but I find it lacking in the information department. I wish they could give us the item stats or at least what each item does. For example I found an item called Adan’s crystal and could see that I’d need Adan’s crystal 1,2 and 3 to make it but not what the crystal actually does or the benefit of making it so it looks like I’m just fusing junk into more junk.

### 5/5 — BDO Bible

*2019-01-01*

If you play BDO as a diehard or as a causal, this app is a must.  It has personally saved me hours of screen switching from recipes or failstack charts.  The boss counter too is a great feature as it allows me better schedule my time in BDO.
