### 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.

### 4/5 — Definitely a very useful app

*2024-12-05, version 3.5.5*

Great app, almost perfect really  my only complaint is that it doesn’t show the hit zone values and the ability to save a build or multiple builds otherwise it would definitely be 5 stars. I’d even say it’s more of a 4.5 imo but I can’t rate it that way unfortunately.

### 3/5 — Crashes often and wrong info

*2024-10-16, version 3.5.5*

Half of the crafting info for MR armor and weapons has HR parts shown, needs to be updated to display proper crafting items and it would be a lot better. 
Also crashes often when opening weapon or armor trees. 
(iPhone pro max 15 iOS 18.0.1)
The monster info is useful.

### 5/5 — Good soup ❤️🫡

*2024-10-04, version 3.5.5*

App works amazing, any new comer to monster hunter should get this app.  Definitely recommend, helps me a lot.

### 5/5 — He

*2024-10-01, version 3.5.5*

I have played this game for five years and I do not need to search for my answers that may be incorrect. I also enjoy that I don’t need to type the entire time to get my answer. Lastly I appreciate that this app was only make for this game and not others. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2024-09-22, version 3.5.5*

It’s a great app that does exactly what it says it does. It’s a great companion to Monster Hunter World.

### 5/5 — Superbe

*2024-08-23, version 3.5.5*

Super wiki mhw est très explicite et facile a comprendre

### 5/5 — Reseña monster hunter world companion

*2024-08-18, version 3.5.5*

Sinceramente me parece una app que tiene mucho potencial y espero verla crecer ya que tanto me ha ayudado para encontrar o informarme de cosas

### 5/5 — Useful!

*2024-08-17, version 3.5.5*

Very informative!

### 2/5 — Unfinished

*2024-07-06, version 3.5.5*

I shouldn’t have to pay for data ripped from the wiki. The armor search is not that good.

### 5/5 — Struggle a little to understand the weapon tree

*2024-06-26, version 3.5.5*

This app is very useful. Constantly use it when playing. If possible would love to see weapons tree setup like in game. When you go to the smithy to upgrade weapons, use the sideways tree design. Otherwise I love this app!

### 5/5 — It great

*2024-05-23, version 3.5.5*

Convenient for us to look up matts and monsters info

### 4/5 — Miss opportunity to be a hand-held version of the Large Monster Field Guide (like the one in-game).

*2024-03-24, version 3.5.5*

I wish this app shows ALL the list of weakness, not just the primary weakness of a monster.
I also wish there was an option to see the lists of weakness and breakable parts.
Just like the in-game option to see "Ecology," "Physiology," and thankfully it does show "rewards." Of the monster.

To make it clearer, when you go to the in-game Ecological Research guy who shows you what the list of what monster is weak to, which parts are breakable, and it's rewards.
This could have been the convenient quick to see handheld ALTERNATE substitute of that.

Of course, what this app DOES have is good already. Just a miss opportunity.

### 5/5 — Good data app for MHW

*2024-03-02, version 3.5.5*

This app is helpful application. It's the library of monster hunter world.

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2024-02-03, version 3.5.5*

I use it for everything mh related. Only issue is that the achievement menu doesn’t allow you to put incomplete missions at the top instead of scrolling for em, that’s it besides that 100% recommendation

### 5/5 — Love It

*2024-01-24, version 3.5.5*

I have played monster hunter for a while and seeing a charge blade progression path helped me so much at first I was confused about how to get the stuff to upgrade like monster bone plus

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Useless. Same thing can be done with Google for free.

*2024-09-09, version 3.5.5*

This does the same thing you can do with Google

I paid for it since it had a search feature that was locked behind a paywall. 

This will be worth the purchase if it includes the ability to filter your searches. For example, I have every single sword and shield(SNS) in the game. I’d like to be able to compare the different ice element SNSs but I cannot filter to have them only show up. 

So I basically paid money to Google something. 

The other search where it lists the items…is bare minimum functional since you are just scrolling through them. 

You’ve got a database, now build a function search feature with actual filters and you’ve got a decent product. 

I’d give it zero stars because I feel cheated out of my money. 

I did request a refund. And has not been given yet.

### 1/5 — Better if I could restore purchase. Fails every time.

*2022-09-03, version 3.5.5*

Still can’t restore purchases after a week and zero developer response. Tempted to make my own....

### 1/5 — Нет русского

*2021-01-13*

Написано что есть русский язык ,скачал, зашёл  ,а русского языка нету, это что обман?

**Developer response:** The russian language is only partial implemented because all languages except for english and german is done by the app community.

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase anything

*2020-10-06, version 3.5.3*

Takes your money for gold unlock, doesn’t give access to app features, restore purchase is stuck in loop, redownload does nothing.

### 1/5 — Жалоба

*2020-08-16*

Русского языка нет , хотя написано , что есть .

### 1/5 — Ошибка в описании

*2020-08-11*

Написано, что есть русский язык. По факту его нет.

### 1/5 — Não está traduzido para português Brasil !!!

*2020-03-29, version 3.3.0*

😢outros países tradução perfeita pro Brasil não existe apesar de ter a opção nas configurações não funciona ....

### 1/5 — Crashing, please fix

*2020-01-15, version 3.1.0*

After the update app is crashing (iphone 8S). Can’t open, the error prevent the app from launching

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-02-04, version 3.5.5*

Writing this to help the project. Hope they get support and add more features. Its my favorite mhw app. It also looks the best

### 5/5 — MHW Companion

*2025-02-01, version 3.5.5*

Merveilleux

### 5/5 — Helped me progress quite alot!

*2024-11-12*

This app is amazing, alot of people are talking about translation issues but I havent ran into any problems. I am an IG player and i already know what im wanting and all the resources I need. One thing though, would it be possible to make the monster information a little easier to read? Also maybe the location of the monster would be great. Everything else is perfect!

### 5/5 — Update to date

*2024-10-18, version 3.5.5*

Only up-to-date app for MHW that I could find props.
