Then the boy who made it decided he wanted to charge 20 bucks for a year? People these days. Amazingly bad people. ### 4/5 — Great for map *2026-03-22* Good app, but I hate how there’s a pop up ad that full screens itself and I have to click off every time. Don’t care about an ad on the side, but don’t make it full screen itself while I’m trying to use the app… ### 2/5 — Subscription *2026-02-13, version 1.14.0* Why do I need to pay $30.00 for an Elden Ring guide! The first good walkthrough I find and it costs money. ### 3/5 — App issues *2025-05-20, version 1.14.0* It keeps closing out on me for some reason can y’all fix it so I can use it I’d appreciate it thanks ### 3/5 — It’s fine but adds *2025-05-06, version 1.14.0* Shouldn’t have video adds ### 2/5 — Can’t upgrade to pro subscription *2025-05-02* Hi, I think this is a wonderful app and it’s going to be amazing to use, but for now I rated it so low because I upgraded to the pro subscription but it doesn’t count towards actually having pro. In my account I have pro, even in the App Store it shows I have the subscription, and it says that it’s active, but in the app it still says to upgrade to pro in the map section and I can’t click on card or PayPal please help. ### 4/5 — Useful *2025-04-01, version 1.14.0* The map feature is excellent but sorting through the lists is difficult. Weapons, spells, ashes, etc are not sorted in there respective list. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-03-21, version 1.14.0* I upgraded mine to pro but I still couldn't go pass 50 cap found tracks :( ### 4/5 — So far *2025-02-20* So far good, I wish it could link up directly with my progress as I end up forgetting to keep it up to date ### 3/5 — Good free app *2025-02-15, version 1.14.0* I wouldn't pay for pro if you want unlimited tracking. I just paid for it and it's not giving me unlimited tracking 😭 ### 4/5 — Love this app but stopped opening *2025-01-10* This app is truly great, I love the kind of route it gives you and how you can click on a grace in the guide and it instantly shows you. However, the past few days I have not been able to get the app to open. Would the devs have any insight on how to or be able to fix it? ### 2/5 — Prone to glitches *2024-08-25* The screen goes black fairly frequently and you have to close and reloaded to get in. The new ads, which I understand, many times won’t close obscuring the screen. Killing the app and restarting it sometimes resolved both these issues. Sometimes they’re still there after you reload. Part of the time I just give up and search someone else’s application for this. That said I prefer this one and I was actually considering paying but not in its current state. ### 4/5 — Wow *2024-08-01* This app is great. It has all that you need to find items and bosses. One thing is the pay for premium, you have to pay to see bosses resistances and absorption when you could look it up on Google of safari. ### 4/5 — App is great but needs more. *2024-07-30* I really like this app, it makes real great work of locating what items you need and where to find them but I would appreciate two things added: • A build maker!! ⭐️ The ability to be able to create your own build and save it for later for ease of access would be amazing as I have ideas for builds I want to do but am unsure of the best way to record it. • A button to “favourite” or save items for easy access and so you can remember which items you need to look out for. Hopefully they add them soon! 🙏🏼 - Chris ### 4/5 — Not bad *2024-07-21, version 1.14.0* I thought the pro was busted but it’s just janky. Gonna use this for my whole play through tho ### 2/5 — Great app with some problems *2024-07-06* I bought the PRO version recently and it all seems to work as expected apart from the “locations” tab. It seems to not be updated and keeps on telling me to buy the PRO version once again. I cannot mark more than 100 things as “found” which frustrates me. I feel as if I got scammed. Please fix this. Other than that, it is a really helpful app for those wishing to not miss anything out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Totally and function *2026-06-10, version 1.14.0* Could not open it on my phone at all as soon as I click on the app it acts like it’s going to open and then kicks me back to the home screen. Literally useless would not work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-26, version 1.14.0* I’ve installed this app 3 times everytime i open it it crashes out and quits itself ### 1/5 — Really? A subscription? *2025-06-05, version 1.14.0* You should be put in prison for that. ### 1/5 — Refused to open after dl. *2025-03-04, version 1.14.0* Was looking forward to using. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open the app *2025-02-27, version 1.14.0* I’ve deleted and reinstalled this app several times and after I enter my character name and click allow for app personalization, it just closes and refuses to open again. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2025-01-14, version 1.14.0* Doesn’t run. Keeps auto closing ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-01-09, version 1.14.0* The app opened first time for 3 seconds literally 3 seconds then crashed and every-time i open it ,it goes black screen then closes by itself I need a solution asap ### 1/5 — Money trap *2024-09-06* I paid for the pro version and nothing unlocked. Still limited on the map. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2024-04-06, version 1.14.0* Bought the yearly subscription and it unlocked nothing. SCAMMERS ### 1/5 — Love it but for one flaw. *2024-03-24, version 1.14.0* Everything is amazing and very helpful. Only 1 problem and it is the reason for the 1 star because I wouldn’t of purchased if I knew, I can’t sync my iPhone and MacBook. Not being able to have it sync makes it difficult when I sometimes would like to use different device. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2026-05-18* Maaaan have a wished for so many video games that I could scroll through its map sometimes just on downtime just to explore it but not only can I do that I get EVERYTHING marked for me! Just awesome man just fantastic:) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-02-14, version 1.14.0* Actually helped me keep track of what i have missed, thanks for making a actual good app ### 5/5 — Best Elden ring map *2025-03-07, version 1.14.0* This is just as good if not better than the eldenring fan wiki site! ### 5/5 — great app *2025-01-14, version 1.14.0* great app does everything that the other elden ring apps do the only annoying thing is that you have to input everything that you do (that it tracks) because you cant link your xbox/playstation/steam account. ### 5/5 — Great App for Now *2024-08-08* Best app technically for having a guide while playing however still no update on any Shadows of The Eritrean content. I understand that can take some time especially with having to figure out the game first. Will come back in a few months and update the review! ### 5/5 — love it *2024-07-20* the best game ever created needs apps that cost money. helpful, useful.. needed. ### 5/5 — Best guide I’ve found *2024-06-29* Fantastic for keeping track or progression and having a reference to make sure you don’t miss any NPC quests or accidentally lock yourself out of them by progressing too far. I’ve beaten Elden Ring a few times and still use this just to make sure I do everything. Hope it gets a step by step guide for the DLC as well. ### 5/5 — Awesome Guide *2024-03-17, version 1.14.0* The map alone is worth it 5/5! ### 5/5 — Elden Ring *2024-02-29, version 1.14.0* Easy to help me remember where I left off ### 5/5 — Best guide and map *2023-08-31, version 1.14.0* I tried a few other app like this and so far this is the best one --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
