## What is EVA?

Elite:Dangerous Virtual Assistant - EVA - is your in-flight trade computer. Keep track of where you've been, find out where you want to go, and work out the best single trades, or circular trade routes, all from your iPhone or iPad.

EVA links to Elite:Dangerous to get your CMDR information and follows your progress across the galaxy, letting you know what's happening and ready for you when you need information.

Main features:
- Sync flight log and notes with EDSM
- 3D interactive galaxy map for your flight logs
- Sync market data with EDDN
- Get realtime market updates from EDDN
- Use EDProxy for much faster information updates from Elite
- Speech synthesis of significant events, including your own notes on systems and trade route hints
- List current ranks, allegiances and credits
- See Galnet articles as they arrive
- See full ship loadout and cargo for all ships*
- Take notes on systems (and sync with EDSM)
- Request cross-reference distances and send to EDSM
- Bookmark systems, stations within systems or commodities within a station
- Bookmark entire trade routes
- View system visit history (and sync with EDSM)
- Commodity search by station, or within a radius of any station
- Trade search for finding the best n-stop trade routes
- Trade search for finding the best single-hop trade from any given station
- Commodity search for buying or selling a particular commodity

Unfortunately this is NOT fully compatible with console accounts, because of the way that they are handled by Frontier. Their own "Companion App" has the same limitation. Console accounts will be able to use the trade computer, but not any of the CMDR data.

Please report any problems in the support forum. If you only comment in a review, I have no way to contact you to ask for more information to help me fix the problem!

### 1/5 — Nit updated doesn’t work.

*2025-11-04, version 1.0.8474*

This app is not updated and relies on old websites which have been closed a few years ago.
Don’t buy

### 3/5 — Too many errors for a paid app

*2025-02-17*

Paid to get this app and I’m a little disappointed. Day 1 I was unable to download any of the systems maps etc; every time I attempted the app would crash. Now this morning I tried to open the app and it gives an error on attempt to log in. The vibe is cool, just wish it worked or there was more honesty about how much it didn’t work before paying for it.

### 1/5 — Oof

*2023-08-26, version 1.0.8474*

It’d be a great app if I could actually get into it. Since I can’t, I can’t experience how great of an app it is, making it useless. I’ve used it before. Never had the issues I’m having now. Sure wish I could use this app…

### 1/5 — Login worked but then just won’t save

*2022-12-03, version 1.0.8474*

Won’t save login info.

### 5/5 — Great when works

*2022-11-18*

While not as complete as various webpages it is still handy for basic trading info and checking on some basic info about commander and current ship. I like have the previously visited systems on 3D mapping to show history. However it is a pain to log in, can be slow to update and recently seems worse and lost years worth of mapping. Would love an update with more trade route options, plotting longer journeys, details of systems and engineers and ability to view fleet. Basically the various different sites we used rolled into one handy non-webpage interface. I can dream.

### 1/5 — Not authenticating

*2022-04-15, version 1.0.8474*

No good as the app seems not to be linking with frontier as a result i cant use the app. Will update my review when this issue is fixed

### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work

*2022-03-25*

Every time you try to login you get an NCISDomain something something…

### 4/5 — great app, but one small issue

*2022-02-20, version 1.0.8474*

the station selection box in the trading tab doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Do not buy.  Broken

*2022-02-02, version 1.0.8474*

Apps works once but then breaks.  Do not buy

### 1/5 — Login

*2021-09-05, version 1.0.8474*

Error 1012 on login page everytime
