We also have a discord you can join for support if that doesn’t work. I’m always here to help. I wouldn’t make you pay again, that’s why I built the supporter wall ### 2/5 — DR *2026-07-10, version 5.0.0* I used to use the app quite a lot but not anymore because nearly everything is paywalled ### 2/5 — Was great till the subscription *2026-06-30, version 4.9.90* When I first heard about this app through a YouTube video I got curious and installed it. Overall first impression it was a great guide for both casual or hardcore zombie players, especially for people like me who often forget major Easter egg steps or side stuff; until they suddenly introduced a subscription. Unless you’re strictly playing bo7 (which is the only one that you can view for free) you’re outta luck unless you pay bc every older game from WAW to Bo6 is locked behind the paywall, and personally idk if it’s a coincidence or not but I feel the subscription was added as a response to bo1 and bo2 getting ports next month and the devs are aware new people will flock to apps like this to have handy guides for the older maps and if so I’m sorry i can’t help but uninstall and go back to just using YouTube or forms. To me this app should’ve just stayed free to use and just simply taken donations which the community probably would’ve supported I understand small devs need support but isn’t the way to do. ### 4/5 — Expensive tho *2026-03-17* I was ab to buy the permanent subscription but found out it basically cost the price of the actual COD game just for some guides. I used this app when it was free and it was a life saver but I’d rather just watch stuff on yt than pay $20 for a guide **Developer response:** Hey there, you’re paying for my continued support of adding guides on day 1. I’ve managed this app for 8 years ### 2/5 — Just disappointed *2026-03-05* Long time zombies fan here, I have been using this app for around 5 years and was always very pleased with it. At first it was just a simple app no ads. A few years in they added ads, sure I understand. But now you have to pay a subscription to see the info that used to be free! The goal of this app used to be to help out the zombies community but it seems the devs now prioritise making money which to be honest is just disappointing. No point in downloading the app unless you are ready to pay. **Developer response:** I’m sure that’s frustrating but also from my perspective you should understand I have spend thousands of dollars on improving and maintaining this app out of my own pocket, and in general stop everything on a DLC launch to update it. Ads don’t pay much. Within the first 6 years of this app, it made $3800. That’s roughly $650 a year for the first 6 years averaged out. Factor in server and hosting costs and the fees I have to pay, you can see there’s almost nothing left using the ads model. The purpose of the app is still to help zombies community, but it has to be sustainable for me to keep doing it for years on end. If you’ve been using the app for 5 years and haven’t paid to support the app, that’s kind of unfortunate because clearly you appreciate it, and so that’s kinda the whole reason I had to lock it for free users. There’s a lot of other people who “love the app and have used it for 5+ years” but haven’t paid me anything. That’s not right. I hope you understand. Thank you ### 2/5 — great until recently *2026-01-28, version 4.9.84* honestly was the greatest guide for the longest time, got me and my friend all the way thru bo2, bo3, infinite warfare and partially thru bo4 but we woke up one day and saw that the guides were hidden behind a paywall which was such a shame because i’ve had the app since around the time it first came out, but everyone has a price. guess it’s back to youtube guides ### 1/5 — Price *2026-01-21* Was good until it requires payment for some maps when 99% of the stuff is freely and easily available online don’t even have a ad option only payment **Developer response:** I get that the change is frustrating. I've been maintaining this for 8 years now, and it takes a ton of work- especially dropping everything for new DLCs. Financially it just hasn't been worth it anymore doing it for free + very low ad revenue. I can't keep doing it that way long-term. Thanks for understanding. ### 2/5 — It (was) perfect *2026-01-16* Had all Easter egg guides for all zombie maps on all cod‘s. Since the last update you need a subscription 🥲 **Developer response:** i appreciate it, and understand you may be frustrated with the recent change. It does take a lot of time and effort to update it - i mean i've been doing this for 8 years at this point! that being said, it hasn't really felt worth it financially, as I have to stop everything im doing to update for new dlcs - and for me to do that for the next several years, you can imagine it would be hard to do that for a single .99cents Ads dont pay much either. I hope that I can continue to deliver enough value in the free version that you at least get some enjoyment from the recent CoDs at least. I'll keep the latest one free for everyone and still work to be the best app out there ### 1/5 — Paying for information available online for free… *2026-01-12, version 4.9.84* Forcing you to pay a subscription for already free guides and videos for games over a decade old is crazy.. Save your time and just go to YouTube lol ### 1/5 — Ads make it unusable *2025-12-04, version 4.9.83* Ads are incredibly intrusive and pop up blocking information ### 2/5 — I’m upset *2025-07-26* Ngl I thought this would be a banger app for zombies EEs (and it is) but none of the embedded videos or pictures work and there’s too many adds, I’ll reinstall when the video/picture problem is fixed **Developer response:** hey, which guides are you referring to? these are working fine on my end so if you can help me out i'd be happy to fix them ### 3/5 — Great app, Only giving 3 stars until video links work *2025-05-30* This is currently the BEST zombies Easter egg guide app available for Free (with ads ofc tho unless you pay for them to go away). Good relatively clear instructions on how to complete the many EEs in CoD Zombies maps. Everything in it worked great until the latest update though. None of the embedded videos can be played for me, and many of the images provided to find certain items (such as the teddy bear song ee locations on Buried) say the image does not exist or is no longer available. This is awful, especially since some buildables steps are only provided through a video, which I am unable to play through the app. Will change this review once these problems have been fixed. **Developer response:** hey there, sorry about the images. I used to upload images to Imgur. I discovered sometime a few months ago that images cannot live forever on Imgur, and suddenly all of the photos expired - which means we've had to go through and update them again by adding it to our own database of images. Sounds like I missed a couple - if you wouldn't mind, you can use the built in tool to let me know of any more unavailable images, because the built in tool is monitored more closely than this! ### 3/5 — Please fix shang gri la *2025-05-05, version 4.9.3* Every guide works except shang gri la for me it is always just a blank grey screen now i like the new cover art for the app ,layout and font of the app i cant help but notice you are missing a couple small side ees on black ops 3 i will comment these another time ### 1/5 — Application qui ne sert à rien *2025-04-05* Guide fait par une IA Aucun sens à ne pas télécharger ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greed *2026-05-22* App was literally the best until they added a paywall **Developer response:** Im glad you loved the app, but why didn’t you buy lifetime when it was $1? Im just trying to make a living here. ### 1/5 — Was amazing but now a paywall? *2026-05-19, version 4.9.90* This app was amazing but now you have to have a subscription for the maps you wanna see the steps for? Crazy… ### 1/5 — Not even accurate *2026-04-28, version 4.9.90* This was nice when it was free but you want me to pay MONTHLY for info that is 75% correct? I’ll just go watch a YouTube video ### 1/5 — You have to pay to see EE steps now. *2026-04-20* The app was great, until they added a paywall to see older games EE steps and guides. **Developer response:** Hey there, update 5 added a free unlock token! Hope that makes it better for you ### 1/5 — Was good until they got greedy… *2026-04-04* This used to be a useful app, but now you have to pay a subscription to look at basically anything. This is extra scummy seeming that all of these guides are literally copy-pasted from Reddit, and most of them aren’t even fully up to date, with broke image link. Even if this was a one-off payment deal, it’d be slimy, but a subscription model for this slop is gross. Better off using google. ### 1/5 — Paywall-Greedy *2026-03-27, version 4.9.90* Used this app off and on for years. Now main functions are locked behind a paywall. Uninstalled. I’ll just use Google lol. ### 1/5 — App fell off hard *2026-03-06* This app was amazing when it first came out, now it’s just garbage trying to squeeze as much money as they can from you, YOU CANT EVEN ACCESS OLDER MAPS UNLESS YOU PAY FOR THEM, just use google, it way better than the waste this app has become **Developer response:** I added a free unlock token for any game of your choosing ### 1/5 — Kronos *2026-02-07, version 4.9.84* Use to be an amazing app back in the day and everything was free now it’s back to YouTube ### 1/5 — Ruined all reason to use the app *2026-02-04, version 4.9.84* Before the recent update this app used to be useful to quickly pull up guides on maps even if the ads were a little annoying. But after the update you can’t even do that, since all the maps before BO7 are locked behind a subscription! You know, I’d maybe fork over like $3 or so to unlock all the maps with no ads, but I’m sure as hell not paying some subscription or 17 BUCKS to unlock some text guides combined with some videos you took from YouTube. ### 1/5 — Gave into greed *2026-02-01* You used to be phenomenal, when you were a start up and were giving the people what they want. Now you are pay for a subscription to view maps on old games. Incredibly disappointed and deleting after this , you lost a life long fan. **Developer response:** "Giving the people what they want". I can't give it to you for free forever man. I've spent thousands on this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-06, version 4.9.90* I’ve been using this app since B03 and yes ik the EE guide steps used to be free but hey times have changed and this man has dedicated his free time to make EE easier for us all. So what the subscription ranges from 1.99$ to 17.99$. Give this man his flowers. ### 5/5 — Great app — used for years *2026-03-09* Developer is very quick with updates. Information all the at finger tips of any Call of duty and any tiny easter egg within them. The subscription is great value for what you get, not having to watch videos or bounce around the internet. ### 5/5 — GOAT *2026-02-15, version 4.9.84* Just about everything you need as a zombies player ### 5/5 — Changed to subscription *2026-01-14* Loved it. Only have had it for a few weeks, enjoyed that it was free. Wish it was still free. Maybe I’m just disappointed it was taken away from me like candy out of a new born baby’s hand, a quite large, sad, newborn baby. Good quality app tho. Feel bad giving it anything less than a five cuz I know it prolly took insane effort to get up and running **Developer response:** i appreciate it, and understand you may be frustrated with the recent change. It does take a lot of time and effort to update it - i mean i've been doing this for 8 years at this point! that being said, it hasn't really felt worth it financially, as I have to stop everything im doing to update for new dlcs - and for me to do that for the next several years, you can imagine it would be hard to do that for a single .99cents Ads dont pay much either. I hope that I can continue to deliver enough value in the free version that you at least get some enjoyment from the recent CoDs at least. I'll keep the latest one free for everyone and still work to be the best app out there ### 5/5 — Based dev *2025-11-11, version 4.9.82* Good idea, Good implementation, Good ui, good! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-05-03, version 4.9.3* New Update is sick honestly, been using this app for years ### 5/5 — Notifications for guides *2025-04-02* Just seeing the guides popping up gets me excited just to play it, if only all games had a guide that was in depth. Thank you for the time and patience of your work! ### 5/5 — The BEST *2024-10-26* Thank you for this app. Easy to follow. Easy to naviguate through the app. Nice and fast content for black ops 6 zombie!! ### 5/5 — The best tool for zombies *2024-10-22* This is what you need if you want to do the Easter egg challenges. Up to date the best they can and hasn’t lead me wrong. Also shows you secretes, and buildables. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2024-09-14* Really cool and helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
