### 4/5 — Great app just a few recommendations

*2023-01-29, version 1.7*

Hey this app is amazing and really helped with a lot of items I couldn’t have found on my own, but my only issue with it is that it doesn’t cover any dlc content. If this changes I will change my review to 5 stars till then it will remain 4 stars

### 4/5 — Would be perfect if...

*2018-09-23, version 1.7*

It would be perfect if it allowed you to filter out locations you have fully explored. It lets me cross things off per location, add a flag in there that I can select to say complete. Then in the filter section add an option to hide completed locations.
Also a setting to let me change the colour for a location for a quick overview. I could use that to flag areas I want to return to, areas I have completed etc etc Like tags on the Mac, in the pop up for each location have no colour or one of say 7 presets.
It connects fine to my PS4, very useful. I'm not sure how much information it can get from the console, if it was possible for it to automatically cross things off that I have already got then that would be awesome. If I had been using it from the start then that wouldn't be an issue but I am level 52 so don't want to start all over.
It's an excellent app, if you own Fallout 4 then you should definitely grab this app.

If you have problems connecting then make sure you’re on the same wifi, turn any VPN off etc. Works great.

### 3/5 — Features

*2017-10-06, version 1.7*

Could you add Xbox one support to your app

### 4/5 — V.good

*2017-03-31, version 1.7*

Love this app, would have been 5 stars but I gave it 4 as I'd love to see a tick box next to all the location and item information entries, so you could tick them off when you have found them.

### 4/5 — Extremely helpful

*2016-11-20*

Love this app but I would like to see xbox one compatibility in the future

### 3/5 — Useful

*2016-05-18*

Doesn't connect to Xbox one, otherwise it's a nice map app.

### 4/5 — I will gladly rate 5 stars if...

*2016-05-09*

This app is phenomenal. It works seamlessly with fallout 4 and has everything a map application should have. It filters based on your preference, it gives you a way to cross items off once you find them, which removes the location from the filtered view (I adore this feature), and the locations are freakishly accurate. 

Like most great guide or companion apps, it needs just a little extra to work perfectly. So here's the big one: it allows you to sync to your gameplay on PC and PS4, which I use both. Only problem is it drops the connection more times than it maintains it. Most I've gotten on a constant connection is around 5 minutes, which creates a problem when you're grinding for all that illusive power armor around the Commonwealth. Fix this, you instantly get 5 stars out of me.

A few things I would like to see improved, but not required to get my highest rating: 1) update the criteria on the power armor, not all that are listed as T-45 are in fact only T-45, I found 3 complete sets of T-51b where it was listed to be only T-45. There are 3 places on the map where it's listed to be T-45 armor where it is in fact leveled. Go there before level 28 and you'll definitely miss out on X-01. 2) I'd like to be able to filter through vendors in different locations for legendary armor, weapons, and junk shipments for base building. I believe if you add these, this app will be completely polished and without fault. 3) possibly a guide to locating power armor in some of the places listed. Here's my example: Postal Square, south of Goodneighbor. This app claim to have leveled power armor and a few other goodies. I found the place, I could not for the life of me find the armor. It's the only set I have left in the entire game. 

Sorry for the lengthy review, but these are my concerns. Great app, well worth the download.

### 4/5 — Good app but could be better

*2016-05-02, version 1.7*

It's a useful app but it would be even better if we were able to connect to an Xbox game! Please add that :) otherwise great app

### 4/5 — Simple but awesome

*2016-04-16*

This is exactly what I have been wanting: an app that shows me where something is and then helps me get there instead of me going back-and-forth between a guide and the game or a website. Dropping pins for places I don't have discovered in the game is awesome.

### 4/5 — Good app but won't connect to Xbox and ps4 because made by different company

*2016-04-15, version 1.7*

It is very good but everyone says it can't connect to Xbox or ps4 as it is not made from fallout 4 it is made by a different company but still very useful and a good app to know where things are

### 3/5 — Good but problems.

*2016-03-26, version 1.7*

App is useful if you dont want to use it as an actual 'pip-boy'. However, i do. And the app will not connect to my xbox which is disappointing.

### 3/5 — Good when it works.

*2016-01-26*

I love the filtering for items and loot on the map, and that you can mark things as found. I also love that it keeps track of your location on the map, but this stops quite frequently. Using on an ipad and Fallout on PC.

### 4/5 — Great but can't connect to ps4

*2016-01-23, version 1.7*

This is a great app. It runs very smoothly and the filter options are very useful. However, it would be useful to have a zoom feature, and I can't get my ps4 to connect, I restarted the app and game multiple times. I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to get it to work. Otherwise a must have for fallout players

### 3/5 — Pip Boy

*2016-01-22*

Won't connect to my X-Box one. But it's still handy.

### 1/5 — Iphone issue

*2023-07-23*

I paid money for this app and my windows 10 pro wont work on my iphone

### 1/5 — Map needs updating its not complete don’t even show X-01

*2022-09-29*

Map doesn’t even show the X-01 power armor locations all it show are T45 locations so it’s not a complete map so it’s not worth my time cause I’m sure it’s missing lots of other stuff besides the armor and probably don’t have the DLC updates…

### 1/5 — Pip-map fallout4

*2016-01-25, version 1.7*

It won't Connect to the PS4 I wouldn't buy this apple should stop selling this and refund the 75p someone's made a million + on this and it don't work!

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX

*2016-01-01, version 1.6*

Your app won't connect to my xbox they are on the same network please help

### 1/5 — Does Not Work with XB1

*2015-12-31, version 1.6*

Read the fine print and save yourself a buck.  App doesnot work with XBox 1.  One star rated as there were no 0-star options.

### 1/5 — Pip map

*2015-12-09*

A little too basic for my needs. I was expecting something more like the online map with filter locations

### 2/5 — No Xbox One!?

*2018-04-19*

I got this to use on my Xbox One, but then found out it isn’t compatible! It can be useful though.

### 2/5 — Xbox?

*2016-12-08, version 1.7*

Why doesn't this work with Xbox One?

### 2/5 — No Xbox Support

*2016-01-09, version 1.6*

Makes this meh

### 5/5 — Work for ps4 better

*2021-11-10, version 1.7*

I enjoy it

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2020-07-25, version 1.7*

A very good app for £1.00 I love how you can filter what items you want to find then mark them off also using fast travel from the app is a cool feature. Helped me get my platinum for the game

### 5/5 — App is great!

*2016-05-06*

I love this app! It actually has unmarked locations too which was a nice surprise. One thing I'd like is to zoom out all the way to view the entire map. Other than that great job! Please keep the updates coming! Id hate to see an app this good fall behind.

### 5/5 — Very good Map Tool for Fallout 4!

*2016-03-24, version 1.7*

I don't normally write reviews but thought I would make an exception for this app as it has been a very useful tool for this game.

Firstly, the map is very good; accurate placement of locations, whether primary, secondary or point of interest. The info for each location given (items that can be found, faction etc also seems spot on) and you can mark off the items found.  

In regards to other people who have been unable to get the app to connect to the game and work as a second screen real time map I have had had no problem.  It sees my PlayStation and connects fine.  I do get the odd occasion when it drops out or forgets where you are but this is few and far between.  When displaying local map I do notice the game getting more jerky than it would if you use the official pip-boy app, but you can quickly switch back to world map in the middle of a fight if this becomes an issue.

The only feature I really think this app could benefit from is the ability to mark a location as cleared/discovered, perhaps changing the colour of the map marker to indicate this?  You can place your own map markers and also add comments to locations which is a nice feature, but again could be improved by the map markers changing colour to reflect this.

For the price of the app, and what it can do I think you cannot go wrong... Just a few minor changes and it would be perfect in my eyes.. Just hoping it gets updated to reflect the new DLC when they become available!

### 5/5 — Great map app for Fallout 4!!!

*2016-01-23*

Those one star reviews from Xbox 1 owners are wrong. If they would have taken the time to read the description they would have noticed that Xbox 1 is not supported at the moment. So because of their ignorance they have unfairly given the developers low ratings. 
This is the best Fallout 4 map out there. It is my go to app when I'm playing and I need to know what is around me or what loot is available nearby. I love how I can check off items that I have obtained. That way when I do a search it won't show up again and make me waste my time search for an item that is not available anymore. 
I want to thank the developers for doing such an awesome job with this app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-01-09*

I love the app, but I'm having issues connecting to my xbox one.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2016-01-08*

Appreciate the app.  Would like to suggest having the opportunity to mark if you clear an item or area- maybe shows as a different color? (Red)

I've used it to find things I had missed.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful*****

*2016-01-05*

I've already recommended this app to friends. Keep up the good work and updates....

### 5/5 — AWSOME APP!!

*2016-01-05*

I am a very big user of this app this is totally worth a dollar would recommend already shared it with some friends

### 5/5 — Sweet app

*2016-01-03*

Don't listen to clue seeker below, he is an idiot. He clearly states in the description you can only connect to ps4. And who cares! This is totally worth a dollar! Awesome app!! Love it!!
