### 1/5 — Great app, lagging behind

*2026-08-11, version 4.8.4*

The app and VTT are great, but the app is behind on the iOS/Android versions which means VTT is inaccessible.

### 2/5 — VTT is disappointing

*2026-03-29, version 4.9.0*

I bought the fifteen dollar VTT after watching the video that suggested first party maps would be included. They aren’t. The process to get them is to go ask one guy on the discord for individual codes. It’s beyond dumb.

### 5/5 — Access to purchased modules, maps, creatures, or NPC’s?

*2025-12-17, version 4.7.1*

The app is awesome and I really do appreciate what Tuesday Knight Games is doing making the mobile app a easy to use resource for both wardens and players. However, since the desk top web version is out and I’m planning on getting some of the official modules like dead planet, pound of flesh, etc.

Will I have to pay again or take the time rebuilding maps for my players both in person and online? Or is there a way to port maps into the app for my players to see on screen??? Once again hope to hear back from the Mothership team soon and thank you for creating an RPG system that is fun, easy for all who play to learn, and terrifying to try surviving in.

### 1/5 — In app purchases DO NOT WORK!

*2025-08-20, version 4.5.1*

Emailed support. No reply. Tried creating an account (that I didn’t really want) but still no in app purchases. Restarted the app multiple times.

### 5/5 — The Bar by Which All Other TTRPG Apps Should be Measured

*2025-05-08, version 4.2.16*

This app is well made and genius in its implementation.  It's simple but fully-featured as a character manager alone, but the addition of a ship manager, a dice roller, a map creator, and a VTT really set it above the rest.  All features work well on desktop and mobile devices, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use, both for play and for mapmaking. The addition of more polyhedral dice to support rules that third party content introduce (d6 for example) would be a boon.

### 1/5 — Great app, nonsense aside

*2025-05-04, version 4.2.16*

The app is great. But I’m not keeping it, nor giving the RPG a chance. If it’s mandatory to put pronouns in my character and have it in front of my face, then I’m not really here for it. 
Literally less than 1% of the population actually cares about pronouns.

### 2/5 — Not great if you need accessibility

*2025-04-17, version 4.2.11*

I really love the game Mothership but this app is kind of terrible for me as a mostly blind player. The elements are out of order, many buttons aren't labelled, the color scheme is actually painful to try and look at, and they want money for the basic accessibility feature of dark mode. I had considered paying but not when something as user necessary as dark mode is being shut behind a paywall. Deleting this and hoping I can find an accessible app to play the game with.

### 5/5 — I wish I could setup custom server

*2025-03-31, version 4.2.1*

Basically, to setup a game where only local network is available

### 1/5 — Outrageous Pricing

*2025-01-05, version 3.2.1*

I paid a hundred bucks for the Deluxe Set, and now they’re seriously charging extra for features like dark mode? That’s just plain outrageous.

### 5/5 — Total Home Run

*2024-12-03*

I’m a skeptic when it comes to apps-for-tabletop games. So many seem like the result of a checkbox labeled “app for game?” on some marketer’s to-do list. So it is with both great relief & true appreciation that I can report the Mothership Companion app is an absolute home run. It gets everything right. It’s truly useful for play but somehow manages to maintain the tabletop aesthetic. It feels at home either in remote play or at a table cluttered with pencils, paper, and dice. The tiered/component pricing feels like an excellent way to handle offering a free version with value-added extras. Development is continuous and significant. You can export characters and print them! There is a VTT! Stop reading, get the app, and play!
