Other than that it’s a great app ### 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. ### 4/5 — Pas tout en français *2026-02-15* Super comme appli mais encore une fois tout n’est pas en français !!! ### 4/5 — Question *2026-02-14* Absolutely love this app it is so helpful! Just would like to know when the new update will be released? The new star path and lady and the Tramp update. Thanks in advance ### 5/5 — Application géniale *2026-02-12* Cette application est au top pour le suivi des collections sur Disney dreamlight valley. Je m’en sers quotidiennement. Merci aux développeurs ! ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2026-02-11* I love this app it helps me keep track of what I need and want and where things will be when I’m looking for it and what critters are here and what they like I also like how you can track where villagers are… another great idea to add is player houses collection and put a tracker on it so you know what house you have place in what realm so your not accidentally messing up another world decoration and you have to try and remember what went there ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-01-13* In a time when apps are loaded with ads or have buggy updates, etc, *this app just works*. You can find what you want, easily, and keep track of things in the game if you choose. It has such a streamlined, not-ad-cluttered functionality. It has the clean feel of a paid app. Well done. ### 5/5 — It’s great! *2025-12-31, version 1.18.4* App works great, update often, no bugs, simple UI. Love it! ### 5/5 — Best app for DVL *2025-12-31* Everything I need is in this app. Love it especially to keep track of star paths ### 5/5 — Best app for tracking *2025-12-18, version 1.18.3* I use a lot of different tracking apps for games and A J Lake makes the best I’ve used so far. Easy to navigate and has most info. If you play Palia, the app for that is great also! ### 4/5 — where’s simba? *2025-12-17, version 1.18.3* just started using this app , seems alright not too bad . Did want to point out that Simba is not included in the list of characters . ### 5/5 — My favourite DLV guide *2025-12-15* I used this and another version to see which one I preferred. I ended up purchasing the removal of ads to also support the developers for creating such a great guide! Very customisable to suit the way you play. I would only make one suggestion for a customisation option; with the characters it would be good if you could choose to sort in alphabetical order (as is currently) OR in movie order as is in the game. I like to go through and add all the gifts for the day and I go down the list in the game, it would be great if the app did the same :) ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2025-12-15* Fantastic app. So helpful and well designed. I use it each time i play. Thank you! ### 5/5 — I like this… *2025-12-14, version 1.18.2* I liked it and I have used it for a while. But this last update with the new Star Path list is not there? I have updated my iPad to the news ios.. I don’t have the list.. 🥺😭 Can you help me?? ### 4/5 — Bonne application mais *2025-12-13* Très bonne application qui aide bien pour les plat, animaux et autre… mais ça serai bien que la voie des étoiles soit mis à jour en même temps que ça commence. Actuellement j’ai aucune mission d’afficher. ### 4/5 — Sternpfad Aufgaben werden nicht angezeigt *2025-12-12* Leider werden keine Aufgaben vom Sternenpfad angezeigt dabei benutze ich die App gerade dafür am liebsten. ### 4/5 — Wirklich tolle App! *2025-12-11* Ich benutze die App jedes Mal beim Spielen. Sie ist soo hilfreich und toll. Würde mir aber eine komplett deutsche Version / Übersetzung wünschen, da mir nicht sofort alle englischen Begriffe etwas sagen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Cookies lassen sich nicht so einfach deaktivieren *2026-02-20* Beim ersten Start der App muss man Cookies bestätigen oder optional abwählen. Leider gibt es keinen Button, der alle Cookies auf einmal ablehnt. Da ich keine Lust habe, mich durch die ca. 280 Anbieter zu wühlen und bei jedem einzelnen die Cookies zu verbieten, habe ich die App sofort wieder gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Pour la dernière maj … *2025-02-28* Bonjour, J’ai le dernier iOS sur mon tel (iPhone 12 pro max). Hier je fais la maj de l’appli pour la nouvelle voie des étoiles d’Aladin et Jasmine. Et même avec tout ça rien, j’ai toujours celle du 4 dec 6 feb. Ma fille a un iPhone 11 avec le dernier iOS. Elle vient de faire la maj de l’appli et tout s’affiche comme il faut avec la dernière voie des étoiles. Pouvez vous y remédier svp? Merci par avance. Cordialement. ### 1/5 — No star path *2024-10-09, version 1.10.2* This guide was good until the devs stopped providing updates for the star path. It was convenient to see upcoming tasks and to track my star path duties. Without that the app isn’t very useful. ### 1/5 — What is wrong with the app *2024-06-02, version 1.8.2* The app won’t open on my iPad it just closes immediately. ### 1/5 — Incorrect app/bad discord *2023-12-19, version 1.6.3* The app is super helpful for some things and but you could easily just play the game without it and not miss out on anything. I highly reccomend not joining the discord at all. Lots of drama and unnecessary disrespect towards eachother. I really dislike how little care goes to the apple users compared to everyone else as well. They purposefully do apple late and last every time and it’s very annoying. This app has a lot of INCORRECT INFO!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Deutsch *2026-08-01* Es wäre schön wenn die Aufgaben beim Sternenpfad mal wieder auf deutsch wäre. Vielen Dank schon mal ### 2/5 — Companions page *2025-06-21, version 1.15.1* It’s not loading! I can log everything else but the companions/critters. Other than that great app. ### 2/5 — Bitte auf Deutsch *2025-04-25* Ich finde die App Mega geil . Ist auch leicht anwendbar . Sehr hilfreich. Aber leider wird der Sternenpfad nicht mehr aktualisiert . Bitte bitte ändert das . Danke schön . ### 2/5 — Great Compared to Others! *2024-12-24* The app lets you track what items you have, what villagers you unlocked, what they’re roles are, who you talked too/played scrabble coin against and realistically a whole lot more! It is slightly behind with the updates (as of this post) with it missing a few items like the “Catching Snippet Training Manual” but other than that it has a way to track “almost” everything The only thing I think they could add is potentially the game’s character quests this way you know know what you have to do and for who. As of now I noticed some made up items (Advanced Fall Leaves Lure Trap, Advanced Lure Trap and Advanced Olympic Lure Trap) the game doesnt count fall leaves slow trap, olympic slow trap, olympic snippet repellent or fall leaves snippet repellent. It instead uses made up items for them and can be very confusing **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Unfortunately, the game changed the name of a bunch of items right after the major game update (not made up items), as well as added the Catching Snippet Training Manual. Due to us translating the app into 7 languages, we deferred this change in our app until the next game update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 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!!! ### 5/5 — Hands down, best DDV app *2026-03-04* As a completionist, I’ve downloaded several apps for this game and none of them compared to this one. My only criticism, I wish that there was a tracker for character and house Dreamstyles, like the alternate skins. ### 5/5 — Necessary app *2026-02-16, version 1.19.0* This app has been a life saver as I play Disney Dreamlight Valley. I love keeping track of everything. The “shopping list” has been a lifesaver to know what I need to have for everyone’s gifts. I also love that the event duties are always there as well. ### 5/5 — An update to support *2026-02-16, version 1.19.0* I’v been away for a year but when I came back. This developer is keeping up. Support them! ### 5/5 — AH-MAZING *2026-02-15, version 1.19.0* This is the only reliable resource I use. It’s always updated and on a timely manner. I’ve been using this app since it first came out and will continue to support them! ### 5/5 — The most comprehensive guide for Dreamlight Valley *2026-02-14* This app is well designed and organized, frequently updated, and overall just the best guide out there. Could not imagine how much paper I would have wasted trying to track all of this myself in a notebook. If you’re looking for an app to help you track your progress, figure out what you’re missing, give gifts to characters, and the thousand other parts of DLV, stop here, you’ve found it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
