### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2026-04-03*

This app is amazing it has help me improve my gameplay

### 5/5 — Super useful, super interesting!

*2026-02-15*

Indispensable when I first started trying to learn the game- especially the strategy/ability interaction tips! 
Even now with Blizzard having added all the finicky ability numbers and stats into the hero screen, I find myself going back to this app for reference. It’s an awesome tool, well-made, and frequently updates. Hell yeah. I would LOVE to someday see a maps section but that’s a huge ask for something that’s already doing exactly what it needs to (and more! fun quizzes!)
Anyway devs thanks for helping this quickplay warrior throw my friends’ games slightly less. :)

### 5/5 — Thank you

It’s missing a few updates on some heroes otherwise, it’s an excellent tool to better understand Overwatch 2.

### 5/5 — Super in-depth!

*2024-04-27*

I’ve never commented on a app before but wow this app is insane. Easy to read and understand. Thank you for making this!!!!!

### 2/5 — Gave up on some users

*2024-03-10*

This app was good but now they are just abandoning users who cant/wont update to ios16. Even though I’ll likely be updating its disappointing to see

### 3/5 — Great app but why no iOS 15?

*2024-03-02*

This is a great app but you should not remove the availability for iOS 15 users

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2024-02-24*

I understand how difficult it can be to create an app, and these people nailed it. It is the easiest way to find tons of info and has no adds. Awesome job guys.
