I paid for premium when the app first came out, but it really hasn’t improved much since then. You’ll be tracking an item and then find one that’s not even on the map. The app stutters quite a bit and crashes frequently. Luckily it’s saving all the time. Unfortunately there are better options out there. ### 4/5 — Needs DLC items *2026-06-25, version 3.0.0* This app would be a perfect 5/5 if it included the items (specifically talismans) from the dlc in the build planner. I tried looking through all the settings to see if I had to activate the dlc items for the app and didn’t see anything. If the dlc items are included in the app please let me know cause I’m lost on how to get them to show lol ### 3/5 — Helpful App, Yet Somewhat Inaccurate *2026-05-28, version 2.1.0* While using this guide, I’ve noticed several inaccuracies that can sometimes make exploration more confusing than helpful. Some POIs and item locations are noticeably offset from their actual in-game positions, duplicate entries occasionally appear on the map, and certain items seem to be missing entirely. One feature I’d also like to see added is the ability to check off materials and consumables, even when they’re found on corpses, to make completion tracking more consistent. Despite these shortcomings, the app does a lot of things exceptionally well. The UI is intuitive and easy to navigate, the artwork for POIs and items is excellent, and additional features such as the build planner add a lot of value. While there is room for improvement in terms of accuracy and completion tracking, it’s still one of the best companion apps available for Elden Ring. ### 3/5 — Useful *2025-10-03, version 2.1.0* It’s pretty useful and all but it keeps closing itself whenever I open the app and do anything. I’ll be looking through the map and the app just closes even after I paid for monthly. ### 4/5 — Add some stuff *2025-08-25, version 2.1.0* Apps good but add all the dlc items in the time builder and add passive affects on weapon so I can see the bleed or rot buildup ### 4/5 — Missing stuff *2025-07-24, version 2.1.0* It’s missing rare drop items such as the octopus head and black dumpling. ### 3/5 — Great potential *2025-04-03, version 2.0.7* App has a lot of useful tools like the Damage Calculator and build planer but the app is difficult to manage as it closes every 1 to 2 minutes. I payed for all the add ons and was disappointed to see that non of the DLC items where added into the app but the map, NPC locations, Weapon locations, and sites of grace are added onto it. I’d love to be able to add the weapon and talismans myself using the Elden ring Wiki but the app does not give that option In short: App is great for base game might even be the best app out there for it but, For the DLC it is not good at all would not recommend. ### 2/5 — Good execution, greedy developers *2024-09-02, version 2.0.6* I get the need to make money for the time to make it but this app is just gross. I’m not paying a subscription for basically just a checklist and map with some other silly side parts, all also locked behind a pay wall. I recently came back to the game and this app but now I will no longer use it. If it was $5 outright I would have bought it and given 5 stars but now I’ve completely lost interest. Deleted. ### 4/5 — Missing weapons in the list *2024-08-09, version 2.0.6* - Sword of Light - Serpent-God’s Curved Sword - Freyja’s Greatsword - Magma Wyrm’s Scalesword - Messmer Soldier’s Spear ### 4/5 — Great App *2024-07-22, version 2.0.5* Very helpful app, been using it for my playthrough. Sometimes there is too many ads which can be annoying at times ### 3/5 — Missing stuff *2024-07-18, version 2.0.5* It’s pretty helpful overall being able to find the stuff I’m missing or marking where I’ve already been so I’m not running in circles, however I bought the full version so I can input all my builds; its missing all the new armor, weapons and talismans from the dlc. Hopefully they add a update soon to change that. ### 2/5 — App eccellente troppi ads *2024-07-09* L app in se è eccezionale, ma gli ads sono nel corso del tempo, diventati troppo invadenti. Un peccato, e non avendo una licenza “one time” ma solo sottoscrizioni, non vedo un futuro per questa app neumi miei dispositivi ### 3/5 — Good but subscription? Really? *2024-07-07, version 2.0.4* It’s a really decent Elden Ring interactive map but pro features are locked behind a subscription… I wouldn’t mind paying a one time fee for the service but do we really have to implement subscriptions for a game map app now? Really? Devs please make it possible to purchase an one time pass for the features. I bet it would make you more money. ### 4/5 — Great app, just missing the split screen feature on iPads *2024-07-05* please add split screen mode on ipads ### 2/5 — Subscription Only *2024-07-02, version 2.0.3* The one-time purchases listed as IAP on the store page are no longer available, meaning that not only is ad removal a recurring charge - fair enough - but so is access to content which is not part of a live service. The user is also forced into a bundle arrangement which includes games that are no longer under development. Rent seeking when you are not providing a live service product may be tempting, but it's a stain on your product and marks it as one which cannot be trusted to function in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Build Planner missing items *2026-07-07, version 3.0.0* The map is great but the build planner is awful. Most weapons don’t have all the ash of wars available for that weapon and most talismans are not available. I purchased the app specifically for the build planner and it is basically useless as it doesn’t match the game at all. Please update the build planner. ### 1/5 — Subscription based *2026-06-22, version 3.0.0* I was an early adopter of this app and purchased the premium version years ago. After coming back, I was surprised to find that features I originally paid for are now locked behind a subscription, and ads are showing up as well. I understand developers need to generate revenue, but it feels unfair that early supporters who paid for the app seem to have lost access to features they already purchased. I’ve tried restoring my purchase, but the ads remain and the content is still locked. Very disappointing experience for a longtime supporter. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2025-12-02, version 2.1.0* App is too buggy to be reliable, despite the consistent ads being shoved in your face. Would not recommend, I would rather go out of my way to purchase a book for the info this app provides, as that would at least function consistently without annoying popups… ### 1/5 — Subscription required not a one time fee *2025-09-18, version 2.1.0* Never pay these kinds of app for a subscription. Nothing like this should have anything beyond a one time purchase. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled after first popup ad *2025-02-06, version 2.0.7* Banner ads are fine, but I'm not dealing with popup ads for a map and checklist app. I'm sure the developer will be happy to point out there's a subscription or overpriced one-time purchase model ### 1/5 — My Favorite Elden Ring Companion App. Still Needs a lot of Work. *2024-07-24, version 2.0.5* My main issues keeping the rating down are: - An inconsistent cross save, so I only use the app on one device now. - There is a lot of missing info for a lot of the items. - The map location for an item can be off a bit making you go to the wrong side of a wall or cliff and can’t find even a hint of what you’re looking for, and since the item info is gone you have no idea you’re in the wrong spot. - Tapping/selecting items can be hit or miss. All that being said the amount of work put into this application is amazing, and why I still call this my favorite companion app even though I gave it an average rating. Came back to lower the rating because trying to import saves manually breaks the app so bad that it has t9 be uninstalled and reinstalled just to get it working again. ### 1/5 — Ruined by Ads *2024-07-07, version 2.0.4* Borderline unusable now with the amount of pop up ads. Was incredible before, now I am getting an unskippable ad every 2-3 minutes ### 1/5 — Abo? Für was? *2024-06-25* Die Karte ist brauchbar, aber Features wie Build Planer etc. gibt es nur im Abo für mind. 2,99€. Einen einmaligen Preis hätte ich mir noch überlegt, aber diese generelle Methodik kleiner App Entwickler kostenlose und oft qualitativ billige Services hinter eine Pseudopaywall zu packen wird nicht unterstützt. Also bitte, also ob die gezeigte Werbung nicht reichen würde. Dann lieber über den Browser kostenlose zuverlässige Tools. ### 1/5 — Soo good app but too many ads *2024-06-24* Soo much ads in such a few time ### 1/5 — Bro *2024-06-24, version 2.0.2* This app was WAAAYYY better before. You had walkthroughs and everything. Idk what you did, or why you thought removing the best part was a warrant to start charging but you’re not a nice person. Idk how to respond to you. Yes you did. Before there was a walkthrough section for each area in game starting with limgrave. A checklist for item and weapon and spells. Don’t lie just because it was better before. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Completionist Friendly *2026-06-10, version 3.0.0* Those that are trying to 100% complete the game can use this to their advantage. I’m just wondering when the Skyrim companion will be dropping lol ### 5/5 — Very good! *2025-01-01, version 2.0.7* i don’t see any issues with this app. very useful. can you make map companions for dark souls 1-3? i just got all three of them and im looking for map companions like this to use. ### 5/5 — 5stars *2024-10-23, version 2.0.6* Watched Megamind will using would watch again ### 5/5 — Wow! *2024-09-30* Sehr empfehlenswert Es ist sehr gut beschrieben wo was zu finden ist Mir hat es sehr weitergeholfen Also ich empfehle diese App zu holen ihr werdet besser klar kommen ### 5/5 — Honestly a wonderful app but currently waiting for update *2024-08-29, version 2.0.6* I’ve been using this app recently and it has been a wonderful alternative to going on the internet everytime I need to remember how to get something, my only complaint is that some items from the dlc do not show up in the build editor or in the crafting side. I do know that the team is working diligently for everything but it’s just something I’m waiting on at the moment. Overall very good app from when I used it last ### 5/5 — Precious Item Ahead *2024-08-14, version 2.0.6* How can one of the greatest games of all time get even better? First off, this app! The best Elden Ring companion besides Torrent and the app is only getting better! ### 5/5 — Not perfect, but best app out there for builds! *2024-08-05, version 2.0.6* Keep the updates coming! Can’t wait to see the DLC items, weapons, and clothing in the build planner! ### 5/5 — Best Elden ring app hands down *2024-06-30, version 2.0.2* Best RR app ### 5/5 — Einzige er app die man braucht *2024-06-30* Mehr braucht man nicht ### 5/5 — Shadow of the Erdtree *2024-06-29, version 2.0.2* This is by far the best app that has helped me find Scadutree fragments.
