Thank you so much to take the time to make an app like this i really appreciate it ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2014-03-13* Updated for iPad ! Looks great! ### 5/5 — Awesome:))) *2014-03-10* It's very detailed and easy to use.

A lot of time went into this app ### 5/5 — An essential companion *2013-12-31* Beautiful presentation, thoroughly researched. If only more games had companion apps this good. ### 5/5 — MUST HAVE!!! *2013-10-21, version 1.1* This game is amazing and the app is just delightful!!! Who else wants to see the Wizard's Companion app??!!! P-p-p-please? xD ### 5/5 — Craig *2013-08-24* Very handy. This app is perfect for keeping tabs on everything familiar related. The only thing I think would make it even better than it is, would be something to separate which ones you put in storage and which ones you have in your party. Thanks for this very useful tool! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-08-22, version 1.1* This app is superduper great it is perfect if you have the ps3 game which is needed but it could have the description from the wizard's companyone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Good detail *2013-05-18* Very helpful however the communication feature does not work, I have asked for advice a few times but never received a response. ### 3/5 — iOS 11 update needed *2017-09-28* Great app but not compatible with iOS 11 :( is it gonna be updated? I really hope so **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words. I *just* updated this app to work with modern phones and OSs. Sorry for the delay. :) ### 4/5 — I love it! *2020-12-05* So i just started playing this game on switch so ofc i needed a little companion app! I was hoping to find an alchemy app but i found this instead. So useful! It is very well laid out. I took a star off because i wish it would show if it was sun, moon, star or planet. That info on the familiars would have been the best. Other than that very well done! ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2020-01-03* Love this app! It would be perfect if it included common celestial signs for familairs, equipment types they each can use, + short explanations/MP costs under the tricks/miracles they learn. I'm not sure if it's still being updated but I just got into the game with the remaster. ### 4/5 — 👾 *2015-06-19, version 2.0* Good visualization of the app! But list with the familiar's items would be very useful! And the mp cost of moves:) ### 4/5 — Yay for iPad support! *2014-03-11, version 2.0* Awesome NNK app for keeping track of familiars. I'm super glad there is iPad support finally. However, it would be great to have taming rates and a skill library (i.e., what a skill does). ### 4/5 — Good *2013-07-08, version 1.1* Good app but could u add things like a table of strengths and weaknesses please that would help as it does not do that in the main game during fights so can be hard to pick the right monster thxs ### 4/5 — Good app *2013-04-22, version 1.1* This app is very nice you do a great job if you add the items each one has to drop/steal from this app would in no way ever be replaceable it's worth looking into and again great job I look forward to your future updates ### 4/5 — Works as advertised! *2013-03-23* Very smooth and easy to navigate, would have rated 5 if it included gold creatures too. ### 5/5 — Awesome reference guide! *2022-09-18, version 2.1* Finally got around to playing the game after it was recommended by an old friend. Quickly realised it would be a huge help to have a guide of some kind and this is the PERFECT one! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Completely Blown Away *2021-02-16* I’ve had this app since I first played Ni No Kuni on the PS3. I’ve kept it since because of how stunning it looks and function. I love admiring the various creatures and their stats in the index. Now that the remaster is out I’m able to enjoy the app all over again. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the functionality is perfect. I was worried it wouldn’t be updated to the newer phones and iOS, but it totally was. I am so in love with this elegant app. Thank you so much ### 5/5 — The best app for ni no kuni *2019-11-26* It’s a great app that will help you complete 100% The game and looks Beautiful. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2019-09-25* This app is indispensable if you're as hooked on Ni No Kuni as I am, and it just keeps getting better. Developer is extremely responsive, listens to his fanbase, and implements requested changes quickly! You get much more than you pay for. Do yourself a favor and buy this app today!!! ### 5/5 — A necessary guide for a classic *2019-09-24, version 2.1* Yeah the boys!!! ### 5/5 — Sweet companion app *2014-11-25, version 2.0* Works perfectly for keeping track of your familiars and having some extra info about them! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2014-10-26* If you're a fan of Ni No Kuni this app will be your best friend. It's gorgeous an packed full with almost all the information you could possibly want for your familiars. The price is well worth the amount of information contained here. The only issue Which could possibly be resolved in a future update would be to include the prerequisites for unlocking new trick slots. Other than that this is perfection. ### 5/5 — Must have game companion *2014-09-03* Links together very well. Exactly what I was looking for and well worth it ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-08-19, version 2.0* Very helpfull but... Would be cool to see MP cost of tricks near their names. ### 5/5 — Ace *2014-08-02* It's exactly what you need to tell you about monster weaknesses when you're fighting them. Well worth the asking price. Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
