Tried to follow the website to reset like it instructed but I don’t think there is the button for the reset and if there is it it too hard to find. ### 2/5 — Great concept *2026-02-15, version 1.7.9* Website works great but app sucks. Cannot login to save progression found items. ### 2/5 — Map *2025-07-09, version 1.7.9* I don’t like how the map movies every time I click on one of the icons on the world map ### 3/5 — No Option to Change Password Via Email *2025-01-01, version 1.7.9* The only way to change your password is if you first enter your current password. I’m not sure about other people, but I often need to change my password because I don’t remember it! This is extremely inconvenient, I was going to cut my loses and delete the account and try again but you of course have to enter your current password to do that as well. I’m not sure why there is no “forgot password” button that sends a code to your email like every single other website out there… To even find a way to change the password I had to go to the web browser as there was absolutely no password options anywhere on the app. ### 3/5 — Good, not great *2024-10-26* Seeing everything mapped out is very helpful. Map does a strange thing where it jumps down and to the right when you select a map entry. Would have been higher rating if the entries were also available in a list form. If you accidentally mark something (or lose game progress because of the Phoenix glitch, like I did. Thankfully I hard save at the end of every play session.) going through each thing on a map comparing it to your game is difficult. Extremely more difficult when the map jumps around every time you select something. ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-10-16* It says unavailable to mark location ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-06-13, version 1.7.9* App was great but now every time I try to use it it won’t let me mark something as found ### 4/5 — A little bug *2024-02-09* When you try to mark a item off the map or track a certain item a, “something went wrong” message pops up. ### 3/5 — Confused *2023-12-23* Right off the rip, I downloaded to find the demiguise statues but his locations don’t include the many I have found in Hogsmead… so it’s making me already doubt that this has everything in the game. ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-12-22* I can’t track anything anymore, it always says: “Failed to mark location: xy” ### 3/5 — Langue française *2023-12-03* Quand aurons nous une traduction française ? ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2023-09-12* Terrible to understand and confusing, you also have to make an account to tick things off!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lohnt nicht. Reduzierte Funktionalität - Browserversion ist besser *2026-03-20* Getestet auf einem iPad Pro M4, 13“ Eigentlich hatte ich erwartet, in der App mindestens die gleiche Funktionalität wie auf der Webseite zu erhalten - im Idealfall sogar noch erweitert und komfortabler. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Weniger Informationen, weniger Möglichkeiten, buggy bzw. nervig zu benutzen…was mich aber besonders genervt hatte war, dass die Map beim Aktivieren eines Trackpunktes immer gezoomt und zur Seite verschoben wurde, wodurch das Tracken mehrere Trackpunkte nacheinander zu, Geduldsspiel wurde. Außerdem hätte ich mir zusätzlich zur Option, ganze Kategorien zu enttracken auch die entsprechende Gegenteilige Option gewünscht. Zudem „blitzt“ die Map beim Erschienen und Zoomen Nach ca. 20 Tracks hatte ich die Nase voll und habe wieder zur Webversion gewechselt, nur um festzustellen, dass meine in der App aktivierten Funde nicht synchronisiert wurden, obwohl ich mit demselben Account angemeldet war. Im Vergleich zur App ist die Webversion deutlich ausgereifter. Die App ist leider aus dem Beta-Stadium nicht herausgekommen…sehr schade! ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-01-30* It stopped working after tracking a few items. If you have to pay to track then it should clearly say that. Don’t care how nice the app is if it has underhanded pay tactics. If it told me up front about paying I would have, but now nah. I don’t like shady anti consumer practices. ### 1/5 — Error *2025-07-28, version 1.7.9* Every time I try to mark something as found it just keeps giving me errors on everything. Waste of time and useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-28* I’m trying to find all the quests to make sure I completed them all and I’m getting an error after clicking finished saying “”failed to mark location: The PolyJuice Plot” along with a few other quests. There are also typos for teacher names compared to the game. I’m afraid if I delete and reinstall I’ll loos my progress. Shame I had to pay for this and cannot message the developer of the bug. Hoping this review lets me upload a picture. ### 1/5 — Locations *2024-11-17* It shows us where things are but don't tell us where they are. It will be much easier to have the names of the items and their locations marked as well. One star. ### 1/5 — It’s missing a lot. *2024-06-26* I just got done finding all of the demiguise statues in the game. This map is missing OVER half of them. I had to find a guide online. The more I look at it, it’s missing a ton of stuff. Quests, field guide pages, chests etc. This app is useless because it’s incomplete. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-02-17* I was loving this map, until it just quit working all of a sudden and it now won’t let me mark things as found. I tried deleting and reinstalling, with no help. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Pro *2024-02-14, version 1.7.9* Paid for pro to access hogwarts legacy but not worth it if there’s no labels to indicate where hogwarts or hogsmeade, etc. ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2024-01-30* Bit annoying that you can only mark 100 things you’ve found and then you have to pay. Would’ve maybe done it if it was a couple pounds but £6.99? no thanks ### 1/5 — Ich will meine e Mail Adresse nicht sagen *2024-01-05* Hallo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DUDE!!! *2025-01-07* this app has legit saved my life, if i’m not organized and know what i have and what i don’t. i get SO lost, so THANK YOU!! (also i did find another location of a hidden chest i didn’t see on your map) coming from the bell tower courtyard towards the greenhouses!! stick to the right path of the roundabout, hug the wall, and smell the lavender all the way to the hidden chest!! you’re welcome!! ### 5/5 — BEST MAP APP EVER!!! *2025-01-05* If you want to %100 an RPG, this is the greatest app out there. They only charge a few bucks for full access, please do it just to support these ppl. THE BEST MAP APP EVER!!! Thank you MAP GENIE ### 5/5 — Works great! *2024-04-15* I was really enjoying using this to track my progress of finding stuff and it was working out great but now all I get is an error when I try to mark anything as found that it can’t save it. Now I feel like I can’t play the game anymore because I don’t want to lose track of what I’ve done. UPDATE: Just realized I needed to upgrade to pro to track more things. That’s fine, I just wish there was a prompt telling me that instead of me just confused why it wasn’t working! ### 5/5 — Amazing Information! *2024-01-13* I appreciate how detailed the search filter is! It’s proven very helpful! Awesome map! ### 5/5 — Best on the app store! *2023-12-13* Every map for mapgenie is incredible. Its way better than ign or any official maps for any a game. ### 5/5 — Great map *2023-09-20, version 1.7.9* Great resource! ### 5/5 — Only have a certain amount of things marked *2023-08-14* Once you reach a certain amount of things marked on the map you can’t add anymore as found. I thought it was a bug, but removed a previous one and then I could mark another as found. Don’t know if this is because you have to pay or if it’s a bug. It’s now useless as I can’t remember what I have found along the way. Still good for finding where things are, just not good for game progress ### 5/5 — Always quality *2023-08-10* Every single map from this guy I have used is absolutely fantastic. Remarkably in depth and detailed. I even used one to make a piece of art on my wall. Seriously. I’m tempted to get maps for games I don’t own. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-05-14* Everything you need for the game on this map! ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-04-01* Excellent app, easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
