### 5/5 — Question

*2025-06-19*

How do I make a moving water wheel

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2024-11-17, version 3.9.0*

Needs update

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2023-06-02*

App stopped being updated around Minecraft 1.11 many years ago. Most information is out of date or non existent. Developer contact and website no longer exists so I’m sure they have long abandoned this app.

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2022-01-27, version 3.9.0*

Save your money, missing a lot of new important information with no clear plan on updates.

### 1/5 — Update please…

*2021-06-28*

This was my main source for Minecraft helped back in the day and with all these new changes trying to get back into it and would love to have this app to help along :/

### 1/5 — Devs took the money and ran.

*2021-04-15*

This was a nice app with useful information at one point but the developer abandoned the project after collecting the premium version payments. It would be nice if this app was updated but what can you do. Find another app.

### 1/5 — Great app needs update

*2021-03-05, version 3.9.0*

This has been my go to for Minecraft but now it needs an update!

### 5/5 — ):

*2020-12-31, version 3.9.0*

I miss this app!! please update!!

### 1/5 — No Updates & Ads

*2020-11-13, version 3.9.0*

App isn’t updated to match current Minecraft updates. So it’s useless in that regard.

It’s a paid app but there are ads.

That’s all you need to know really.

There’s potential for it to be the best Minecraft guide app. But unfortunately it is not because of these things.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2020-04-07, version 3.9.0*

I use this all all the time, and I love it. However, it needs a SERIOUS update. There are so many new blocks and mobs and everything in the game that are not even in the app. Fix please!
