### 4/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-08-24, version 3.0.17*

I love this app! The visual style, organization, all of it! 

Only gave 4 stars because when you add the daily gifts and then click them from the Home Screen to see what you need there isn’t a way back. You have to close the app and open it again…

### 4/5 — All crops aren’t in garden

*2026-07-17, version 3.0.16*

I love this app, the only thing I find frustrating is that on the “my garden” section you can’t add all crops. I couldn’t add multiple seeds from storybook at all

### 3/5 — Latest update - new adventure pack missing?

*2026-07-13, version 3.0.15*

The latest update says it includes items since latest update but I can’t see any of the characters for Honeyglow Woods and the new adventure pack. Is this coming soon? Thank you.

### 3/5 — The app is helpful but…

*2026-07-10, version 3.0.14*

Why doesn’t it connect to my actual game. And will we get a update to honeyglow woods

### 4/5 — Great organizing

*2026-07-04, version 3.0.14*

This app is very useful for organizing characters’ favorite things and tasks for leveling them up. Unfortunately, there are several characters that just won’t show up in my “favorite” characters list no matter what I do- Cruella, Jafar, Tinkerbell, Tigger, Maleficent.

### 4/5 — Great but i can’t seem to find where to track quests

*2026-06-20, version 3.0.14*

I love this companion guide it’s amazing the only issue is i can’t seem to find where to track quests, it says in the description that I can track them so any help would be great

### 4/5 — amazing tracking app!

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.13*

so happy i found this app! it’s beyond helpful in tracking while playing the game! i hope for the daily checklist for each location they will add Tiana’s stall, Remy’s restaurant & Tiana’s Palace! since i go to those daily i think they should be included in the daily checklist! wish i discovered this app earlier, but i’m sooooo thankful for it now!!

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2026-05-10, version 3.0.12*

I love the app the only thing that makes it difficult is having to search for items to add like to the catalog or any of your collections or characters etc. I think it would be easier if things would technically be able to be sorted by the movie our characters per se but I guess it is just something I have to deal with as I am fairly new to the app and I have a lot of items that I have to catalog from characters clothing, being that I am a casual cozy gamer. But I guess in time I will be able to get everything added one day lol

### 4/5 — Pretty Good But Missing a Lot of Objects

*2026-03-18, version 3.0.7*

This is one of the better trackers for DDLV but so many clothing items are missing. (These are not from recent updates either) I wish there was an easier way to report a missing item to have it added or to be able to add it yourself.

### 4/5 — I LOVE IT but….

*2026-02-15, version 3.0.5*

I love this app, I love begging able to track my collecting process through the app. My only downfall is with the new update. For when I’m trying to catalog my new furniture, it makes me select what type of furniture I’m cataloging and sometimes I’m not sure which category it goes under. So then I’m u able to catalog it.

### 4/5 — more dlc?

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.0*

this is seriously my favorite tracker app for ddv. however, i am curious if you will ever be adding the other DLC’s like SBV or RIT?

### 4/5 — Love it except….

*2025-11-17, version 2.4.7*

I use this app religiously when playing. It is great in terms of tracking everything you have, what critters you’ve fed, and especially helpful when keeping track of character levels, their roles, and their favorite gifts. 

I like the app especially since it tells you critters schedules making it easier to collect them. The app also does a great job at updating new stuff quickly except…. I have been waiting for the new storybook vale critters to be added for a while now. Specifically the black Pegasus and teal baby dragon. They have been out a couple of months now and still not in the app. It would be nice to track the critter levels too now that that is new and it would also be nice to add critters collected through events or the store into your collection. 

I also noticed the shadowy snippets of the bird, demon, and frog have not been added yet. Characters ask for this as gifts and I can never add them to my tracker. 

Besides that tho the app is great. I am just hoping to see these things added too.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2025-11-06, version 2.4.6*

Love that it helps me track everything, especially the gardening section!! Thank you for creating something that helps! 
However my app likes to freeze everytime I go into a section then try to go out and select a different section. I have to close app and restart.

### 3/5 — Good but laggy

*2025-10-26, version 2.4.6*

If I fill information out or click on anything it doesn’t let me go back and click on another category. So I’m constantly having to close out the app to re-open it. Pretty annoying, even paid for it.

### 4/5 — Have to keep closing app

*2025-10-23, version 2.4.6*

The app would be perfect if I didn’t have to keep closing out just to select a different section. The buttons won’t work unless I close the app when trying to leave a section.

### 3/5 — Like it but freezes or won’t work

*2025-10-22, version 2.4.6*

I enjoy using this app it tracks everything well and has an easy flow to find needed information. My only problem is that it glitches and when I press a button it will act as if it was touched but stay on the current screen so I have to close the app out and reopen to get it to work

### 3/5 — Facing Glitches in the App

*2025-10-20, version 2.4.6*

I use this app regularly. I love the interface and how everything is tracked on it. 

However, I’m facing an issue in the app where after I open the app and go into one of the sections such as “characters” or “foraging” and come back out to the main page of the app, I’m unable to go back into any of the tabs or sections any more. It’s then just stuck on that screen and nothing else works. Not even clicking the settings button gets registered. I have to close the app and re-launch the app for everything to work again. But after a minute or two it gets stuck again. I’m finding it hard to track that way or search anything within the app because every few minutes it gets stuck and I have to close the app and re-launch it. It must be a bug and I hope the devs see this and I’m urging you to fix it kindly.

### 3/5 — Missing or incorrect information

*2025-10-18, version 2.4.6*

Love the app but there are meals missing, bad info on expansion critters, and other like issues. It is still the one I like the most but I am looking more on the wiki then depending on this app.

### 2/5 — Buggy?

*2025-10-11, version 2.4.5*

I am constantly having to close and reopen the app everytime I need to go into a new section, like from fish to critters. It’s really annoying.

### 1/5 — Explicit adds

*2026-01-11, version 3.0.3*

Inappropriate adds appear even with content blockers. Should be set for ages 18+, not 4+.

### 1/5 — Keine deutsche Sprache verfügbar

*2025-08-23*

An sich sieht die App super aus aber ich habe sie gar nicht erst eingerichtet, weil es doch keine deutsche Version gibt. 
Ich habe keine Einstellung für die Sprache gesehen, obwohl angezeigt wird im App Store, dass auch Deutsch unterstützt wird.

### 1/5 — Still meh

*2025-05-07, version 2.3.5*

Updated review: I’ve tried to use this app a dozen times but a completionist this app doesn’t dot it for me. Still doesn’t track achievements. I mean it looks cute so there’s that. If it had no ads and was free I’d consider using it. The ads are intrusive and it’s not worth paying for. I keep hoping the app will improve but it’s a bare minimum. A lot of people think it’s cute and it’s great but the reality is it’s fairly basic. There’s another guide that isn’t as ‘aesthetically’ pleasing but way better at tracking also includes secret quests, achievements as well as tracking. The only difference I’ve seen on here was the farming but for me now that I have it down it’s not worth it. Plus the prices of items in game have changed before so listing the price seems time consuming and unproductive in the app honestly. They could use some pointers from the ACNH Travel guide app. That’s how a quality tracking app should be done. That’s what this app could be if they focus more on in game than the aesthetics. They already have that part down

I tried this app several times. It’s always disappointing unfortunately. To be honest I’ll give props as far as the design and icons. That’s about it. This app essentially does the bare minimum and it’s definitely not worth paying for at the time. While it does track per se. There tends to be a lot of errors that are just from rushing. From multiple entries of the same item, misspells, things that you should check instead of rushing to be the first tracker to be “up to date” The fact this happened during every update is disappointing and says a lot about where the devs priorities are. I’d prefer to use an app where developers care more about things being correct versus being the first to get it done. Also as far as a tracking app, it doesn’t track achievements. Which is highly disappointing if you’re a completionist. The way the tracking is done is sloppy and unorganized as well. If the devs put more into being correct and actually up to date as well as fully tracking it could be a phenomenal app. The potential is there but the execution is subpar.

### 1/5 — Update it

*2024-12-12, version 2.2.4*

The star path is still under upcoming…. And t has already started though. Do you want me to delete it and stop using it? Helllooo lol

### 1/5 — How much?

*2024-12-10, version 2.2.4*

Other DLV apps offer the same if not more for FREE. Dev(s) if you want/need to charge then offer more!!!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-12-09, version 2.2.4*

Star Path duties showing the bonus and I haven’t even completed the first part. Always an issue with the star paths.

### 1/5 — I love this app buhhh

*2024-10-08, version 2.0.5*

I have REALLY been loving this app but I push the MORE tab and it kicks me out 😭 I'm like I just pause the $5 and now I can't do much.... also how do you do the notification for planting? 😭 (honestly why I really got this app) 

Please help! Will update to 5 stars if you fix the bug 🥺

### 1/5 — Loved the app until the update

*2024-08-23, version 2.0.1*

Recently downloaded the app and I loved it however since the update all my characters are showing level 0 and I’ve submitted a complaint but it’s gone unanswered!

### 1/5 — Please make an iPad app!

*2024-06-04, version 1.9.3*

I’d literally rate this 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Deutsche Sprache einstellen?

*2024-02-25*

Schade, es steht hier in der Beschreibung, dass die App auch auf deutsch verfügbar ist. Ich kann es aber leider nicht einstellen. Deshalb leider nur 1 Stern.

### 5/5 — Great guide

*2026-07-30, version 3.0.16*

This guide is a great tool for tracking all the things. I especially enjoy it for the starpath tracking.

In response to ilikeopposums!!! Favorite is the American English spelling way, favourite is the British English spelling so it isn't incorrect, it's just different to you.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-06-21, version 3.0.14*

I absolutely love this app for ddv it’s helped so much, although there are a few things I wish they’d change. Like they have a gardening section but I can’t enter anything, so a plus sign to help keep track of what is currently growing would be great.

### 5/5 — Love love love!

*2026-06-10, version 3.0.14*

This is such a great tool to track your progress without constantly opening the in-game menu (I play on the Nintendo switch and it can get glitchy). One small issue that just bothers me personally, I cannot catalog the recipe for Grilled Vegetables. The ingredient list is so long that the buttons at the bottom don’t show up! It’s a super minor thing, the app is absolutely amazing!

### 5/5 — There’s the one thing I noticed that might be wrong!

*2026-06-04, version 3.0.13*

In the episode’s favorite characters, but they spelled favorite wrong. There’s no u u in favorite so you might need to fix that one bug. But either way I still love the game. It’s just amazing. It’s just that one bug that you probably need to fix. Sometimes I can’t concentrate like what it means. thank you for reading this.

### 5/5 — New star path

*2026-04-10, version 3.0.9*

Update the new star path please!

### 5/5 — Best DLV Tracker App Out There

*2025-11-22, version 2.5.0*

Hands down the best app I have ever had for a game tracker. It’s easy to follow and the premium version was so reasonable that it was crazy if I said no. I use this for each Star Path to keep track of how much I have left to do with the time remaining and to see when the critters are around to make friends with them. Seriously best app. So glad I came across them on Etsy one random day in a comment.

### 5/5 — Only app I’ll use for DLV

*2025-10-20, version 2.4.6*

I love this app so much. In my experience, the app makers keep it updated per every update, and I use the star path tracker and gardening features the most. 

I have a couple suggestions: maybe add the Routine Duties to the tracker if possible? Also, could a tracker for the rewards of the star path be added?

Other than that, I find the app very useful, and I always open and use it when playing the game. I appreciate that the app makers keep it updated and streamlined. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in to this amazing app.

### 5/5 — Great clean UI

*2025-10-11, version 2.4.5*

Great app with easy to use interface and pleasing design. 
Would love some wiki info here like favourite foods for companions and daily gifts. 
I’m still googling stuff. Even if it had a notes section to put our own info into? 
I’d also suggest a multi check against recipes you already know in the order that is in the game. So we can quickly update the app when existing players download.

### 5/5 — The BEST DDLV app out there!

*2025-08-27, version 2.4.4*

By far the best guide out there for DLV!

### 5/5 — Love this app, please give it a try!! ❤️❤️❤️

*2025-07-16, version 2.4.1*

I ended up paying more than the app said it was. (I also didn’t check when I confirmed purchase so it is also my fault).
Other than that, I can’t stop raving about this app and talk to everyone that plays DLV about this app. It’s honestly a game changer! (Literally). I get lost a lot in games and can’t keep track but I’ve gotten so much further into the game now with this apps help 😍😍
It even covers the DLCs. Everything you need is in here! If you’re playing on 100% the game this app is a must have and with the premium features it makes it even better! Even though I was charged extra (my fault) it was like $20 and it’s well worth it for what the app has to offer and it’s a one time purchase instead of a subscription which i love.
Please, please give this app a try!! I promise you won’t be disappointed
