### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-16, version 3.5.5*

Good if ur stuck on a monster so you can know the weaknesses and hit zones

### 1/5 — a spruce suprise

*2026-05-10, version 3.5.5*

jokes can make you go far but try looking out the window sometimes 1/5

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-04-14, version 3.5.5*

It works really well and you can get lots of info for the game in one place

### 1/5 — Paywalled and incomplete

*2025-12-12, version 3.5.5*

Expected this to be as helpful as the MHGU app, but that app is completely free with no ads, and actually has all of the info I need while this app has ads AND requires you to pay for basic functions. Wanted to see where I get augment materials but there is zero info on that, unless it's under the paid guiding lands tab which I don't want to pay for because that is idiotic. Unbelievably greedy, man.

### 5/5 — Great research

*2025-10-24, version 3.5.5*

This app is great! I’m always looking up monster weaknesses and drops.I definitely recommend this app for anyone who wants a full background of the real game. There are few adds as well.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2025-07-11, version 3.5.5*

It’s very comprehensive and saves me the effort of going to the smithy to look how to craft things (does anyone still play this game)

### 5/5 — Très bon app

*2025-04-05, version 3.5.5*

Honnêtement y’a pas grand chose a dire elle est parfaite, mais il manque la liste des quêtes libres et les pv des monstres ne sont pas en rm

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-03-30, version 3.5.5*

A solid and well put together app, with everything a Hunter needs. There are a few Event armour items missing, but it’s only a minor issue is an otherwise great app

### 4/5 — I found a problem

*2025-03-07, version 3.5.5*

So the app is pretty good and definitely helps with the game. But I’m doing all of the optional quests including special arena I go to do the MR 3 Uragaan I check the app, ok no special arena quest I don’t need to capture it. I end up capturing it and a special arena quest shows up, I double and triple check the app but it’s not there. If I didn’t capture the uragaan I would’ve had a hard time figuring out what I was missing

### 4/5 — Not updated

*2025-02-14, version 3.5.5*

App needs iceborne support.
