### 5/5 — the perfect companion app!

*2026-08-26*

thankfully as the game itself is updated, some features of this app are no longer as relevant as they were when I first got it. but the app is continually updated too and SUCH a useful reference! speedy app updates for each game update, so you have guides on new game items and events! eternally thankful to the peeps who keep this one going ❤️

### 5/5 — Catalog Fan

*2026-08-04*

I love cataloging everything and this app is just amazing for that and so much more. I love that it helps keep track of the tree growth. It gives helpful hints to those that need it for the Star Paths as well. I wish they were able to add images for everything but this app is still amazing none the less. I most certainly recommend.

### 2/5 — Deutsch

*2026-08-01*

Es wäre schön wenn die Aufgaben beim
Sternenpfad mal wieder auf deutsch wäre. Vielen Dank schon mal

### 5/5 — Everything you need in one place…

*2026-07-11*

This app has everything you need for all your Disney Dreamlight needs it doesn’t matter if you’re a casual player or own all of the dlc’s and every furniture item it’s all here… I love all of the information the app has like where to buy, pick, or purchased ingredients or how long they take to grow, how times you have to water them, and how much they sell for and that’s the level of information for everything including characters, critters, achievements and more… If you’re playing Dreamlight you need this app plus it FREE… I’m grateful to the developer for all of their hard work because its not just the base game it’s all the dlc content too, within days of release it’s all available… I highly recommended this app it’s got everything!!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-07-10*

I use this app all the time it’s definitely helped me out with some sticky quest situations and also with collecting critters, recipes and the star path. Best app and always up to date.

### 1/5 — Multiple inaccuracies

*2026-06-13, version 1.21.1*

Opals don’t count as white gems for star path; I mined 3 and got 0/5 white gems. Blue raccoon not available on Saturday; I’m writing this on a Saturday and the game shows “not here today”. Please check all info the app, you have a lot of it wrong.

### 5/5 — 10/10 would download every time!

*2026-06-09*

Amazing Guide/Helper for my Dreamlight Valley gaming sessions! No complains here, whenever I get a new phone, it’s one of first apps I download!

### 3/5 — Slow to fully update

*2026-06-08, version 1.21.0*

It takes so long to fully update . Other than that it’s a great app

### 5/5 — Best one

*2026-04-24*

I’ve used this since it came out. And I’ve played since first launch. Absolute the best to keep up to date especially as many things add on. Only thing I would love to see is a tab in collections for olafs memorial areas.  I keep forgetting what I find as  I’ve moved my valleys round so much some the items I lost track of where they originate from.  The person who made this is absolute massive help and guide! Thank you!!!

### 4/5 — Elements of Nature Star Path Not Fully Updated

*2026-04-09, version 1.20.0*

It seems there are only 18 items in the star path that can completed with this update. There are many more duties to do than that, so I can’t keep track fully.
