### 3/5 — Good but needs map

*2026-06-25*

More games should be free, when playing the games you should add all of the current characters. And you should definitely add an interactive map

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load

*2026-03-19, version 1.2.0*

So I don’t know if this is because I’m in china but I can’t use your app, it won’t load no matter what, I will try again when I’m not in china

### 1/5 — 39$?!?!

*2025-12-23, version 1.1.7*

It costs 39 dollars

### 4/5 — Average

*2025-11-16*

Has everything on hoyolab EXCEPT the resin timer and domain reminders. Wouldn’t be an issue but my main account is Asia.

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.98*

The reminders for daily checkin, talent book days and resin are amazing! So underrated and looking for ascension ingredients has never been easier! Even better if there was a link to the interactive map and boss details

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-03-06*

It keeps freezing and closing its self out

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry about that. 
Can you try restarting the app? 
Also, can you send me which device you are using? You can send an email to coder@ genshinguide.app
Thanks

### 1/5 — __

*2024-12-08*

The app overall is good i guess, but there are way too many pop up ads that just annoy me very much. Also the fact we have to pay for wish simulator or smth other is so uncalled for?? If you’re that money hungry just go get another part-time job or smth… smh

**Developer response:** Glad you find the app good overall.
Wish simulator runs on a server, so there are costs to it. 
Ads are also removed in the paid version. Why would you expect someone to spend time to maintain an app for free?

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2024-11-23*

But, where’s Chasca?

**Developer response:** Thanks. She is added now

### 4/5 — Wish simulators

*2024-09-27*

The app is perfect to prefarm materials, to count your wishes and for the codes. I love the sh simulation game somplease update it to he active version of the game, it’s stuck at 4.2 and we have already 5.1 announced. So please update it

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the review. I have updated the wish simulator to 5.1.
Enjoy!

### 2/5 — Daily rewards don’t work

*2024-08-22*

When I try to collect “daily rewards” app goes into endless loading loop. Never completing. Even when trying to log in, endless loop. I’d like to pay for pro but if the free version doesn’t work, I’ll never pay to upgrade. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong but until the free version works, no purchase from me

**Developer response:** Hey, can you try it now? It is working on my phone. If it doesn't work please email me a screenshot and phone model. 
You can find the email contact in Settings Tab > top left corner.
Thanks
