Great app, lagging behind
The app and VTT are great, but the app is behind on the iOS/Android versions which means VTT is inaccessible.
VTT is disappointing
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.
Access to purchased modules, maps, creatures, or NPC’s?
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.

In app purchases DO NOT WORK!
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.
The Bar by Which All Other TTRPG Apps Should be Measured
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.

Great app, nonsense aside
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.

Not great if you need accessibility
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.

I wish I could setup custom server
Basically, to setup a game where only local network is available
Outrageous Pricing
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.
Total Home Run
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!

Outstanding.
Elegant, super functional, and regularly gets big, meaty updates. Gives you everything you need to play in the free version. The (paid) map editor and vtt is robust and streamlined. Haven't run a game with it yet, but setting up and joining sessions is SO EASY. Absolutely nailed the aesthetic.
Great app for mothership
Really nice app, useful to wardens to quickly prep characters for in person play as well due to export pdf function
Neat and useful helper for online and in person play for both wardens and players alike

Truly great
This app rules, and each feature added only makes it better. The developer is super engaged with the users and gives their thoughts/intent behind each feature as well as taking feedback. The recent updates have taken it from a handy tool for managing all your characters and ships to a full blown vtt with map maker. My group is all remote and usually do voice/video only but this was a perfect addition as we didn’t have to set anything extra up.

Great stuff
Lotta great stuff here! Helps you do the math for character building, has dope portraits to help visualize people, and takes out lots of the legwork for shopping. Honestly, the shopping math alone is one of the most difficult things of ttrpg’s, so I’m stoked this app helps us out with that :)
It’s everything but the book!
After the latest update, the iPad layout uses screen space to the fullest. Having one app that runs a character sheet, all your dice rolls, and a VTT is wildly accommodating. It works great sitting in the same room or remotely, and best of all, the players get to experience it for free in game sessions. All upgrades are worth every penny for a warden. Devs are very engaged and it shows.

A Warden’s Dream
This latest update turns an already useful app into something more than I could have hoped for. As a Warden this is now the only tool I’ll need to run this game. Well-designed and easy to use for the whole table.
Excellent companion app
This is such a great little companion app for the Morhership TTRPG. Absolutely worth the few bucks for the pro versions and upgrades. The new VTT tools are great.
Must have
Makes running a breeze and lowers the barrier for players. With the new update, it makes it even more a one stop shop for Wardens and Players alike!
Great resource for Mothership players and Wardens
Simple and effective app great for players to quickly get up and running. The new VTT tools are awesome and the developer is quick and responsive feedback and issues.
