### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-05-15*

This app is awesome I can easily unlock fatalities and brutality 5 stars

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-05-10*

Great app! I don't have to go online to search every time I want to see how to do a secret brutality or stage fatality. Worth the $.99

### 5/5 — A definitw MUST have app when playing MKXL

*2016-03-27*

This is the only app that's actually got everything in it for Mortal Kombat XL! I've been looking around for something like this and when I initially came across this app, I didn't make the purchase, as there were other free apps of this game. Had I paid the small fee and downloaded this app from the beginning, I would've saved myself lots of time downloading and deleting the other apps that were free. Definitely give this app a full 5 Star review!

### 5/5 — Very Good!

*2016-03-11*

Nice guide and was very quick to update the new dlc characters moves etc

### 4/5 — Not Bad

*2016-03-05*

Quick useful app when trying to perform all these moves on the go!!! I love the way u can change to which console your commands would prefer!! Cons: needs update bad 3/8

### 5/5 — Very helpful beginners app

*2016-02-18*

Very resourceful app that allows you to analyze characters and organize combos. Just wanted to quickly point out that for Ermac, his string "fusion" is labeled as b1,2 when it should be 1,1,2. There could be other characters with mislabeled moves, but I haven't noticed any others. Otherwise, very good app.

### 5/5 — Does what it says!

*2016-02-10*

Just the kind of app I was looking for, basic and straight to the point which is what's needed, easy to use and so forth, thanks👍🏻

### 4/5 — A little suggestion

*2015-11-01*

This is a wonderful app but I wish there was a section for putting universal combos too

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-07-25*

Great app. Easy to use and the custom combo section is really helpful. Very supportive and helpful developer too, who always responds to questions lightning fast. Great work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-06-18*

I really like this mkx guide because its probably the best out there.
