Its very useful and perfect. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-03-01* One of the only apps on the App Store that I have seen with five stars and it deserves it! This app is great with showing past games stats. Probably the best part is the store and load out customizations. I also appreciate how it displays the rank of the user It’s fun looking at my bronze logo. Trying to hit silver. Overall really great app, would recommend! ### 5/5 — W App *2023-02-25* so incredibly useful, my only complaint is that I can't sign in using my google account (how I made an account once) ### 5/5 — none *2023-02-20, version 1.1.0* amazing, helps a ton with instalocking. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-02-18, version 1.1.0* Now i can be in crippling valorant debt on the go ### 5/5 — Great *2023-02-16, version 1.1.0* Overall a really nice app to have and the instalock feature is so nice I love the reactions when i lock on the loding screen ### 5/5 — So good *2023-02-11, version 1.1.0* W’s ### 5/5 — App review *2023-02-05, version 1.1.0* Amazing app !! ### 5/5 — Handy app! *2023-01-17, version 1.1.0* Love being able to step away from my pc while waiting for queue to pop and still be able to lock in from anywhere in my house!

I got banned March 8th for using a “third party software” this app was the only thing I’ve downloaded and used and got banned for it. It’s considered a third party software because it used scripts by allowing you to lock in on the game from your phone. Anything that interferes with riot vanguard / valorant is considered third party and will get you banned. I’ve used this for a couple months now and finally got banned. Use at own risk. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that! It really shouldn’t be bannable, since it doesn’t offer a competitive advantage over enemies. People have been getting false-positive bans since long before this app though! Riot doesn’t say why they banned you, but if they wanted people to stop using Recon Bolt, banning people and not saying why would be a very ineffective way to achieve that goal… ### 1/5 — It did not let me sign in *2023-02-16, version 1.1.0* Bad ### 4/5 — good app *2023-01-08, version 1.1.0* add kd for 5 stars ### 5/5 — Best App Valorant could ever have *2023-07-10* Instead of trying to shut this down, riot should be buying it out, better than their awful riot app ### 5/5 — Amazing and well put together *2023-07-05* I haven’t had a pc in a year or 2 but I’ve been using this app to keep up with my shop everyday and flex on my friends when I get better shops. It’s an amazing app and I hope Riot doesn’t get it taken down. Amazing job Julian D ### 5/5 — This app is great. *2023-06-22* I'm tired of people taking my agent, don't gotta worry about that no more, doing something? I can still choose my agent from anywhere in my house. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-06-21* Love that I can check the shop if I’m away to know if I have anything of interest in there. It would be cool if there was a statistics tracker in there as well, though I get that it would take a lot of time. Definitely a worthwhile download. ### 5/5 — Best app for valorant *2023-06-18* it has everything beside line up guides valorant tracker does but also shows there rank even if it is on private and valorant can’t ban you cause it’s a mobile thing ### 5/5 — 5/5 However… *2023-06-10* The app is great, UI is perfect, no loading issues, however I wish you could preemptively lock an agent BEFORE match start, like if you know who you’ll want to play, you can lock it in and the second the agent select is active it’ll just lock the character. ### 5/5 — Every game needs an app like this *2023-06-02* I can’t believe how well this app works just pulling from the Valorant API, and equally cannot believe why Riot didn’t implement this functionality themselves. You can choose your queue and queue from the app, the app notifies you when the match is found so you know if you’re afk, and you can lock agents on the app before the match even starts and your teammates see the agent select screen. You can also see your daily shop items and daily missions and also change skin load-outs from the app. During and after matches you can see teammate and enemy ranks and if you pay you can get all the stats available from the API on both you and them. I can’t believe I downloaded Valorant tracker and lowered my fps when I could have been using this all along. Every game with queue times Valorant needs an app like this. Props to the dev who made it. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is crazy *2023-05-25* I NEVER rate anything in the App Store and hardly even download any apps but I’m a Val nerd and this app is such a game changer. Now I can Insta lock Reyna before the game even starts with pride and go 2-23 !!! Thanks recon bolt! ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2023-05-14* Works perfectly, love that there is no ads, really simple to use. ### 5/5 — The best app for valorant *2023-05-10* This app is the absolute best! You get so many features including the Insta lock feature for free. And to check stats it’s only a 1 time purchase for pro? Well worth every cent! If I could give more stars I would. 10/10 I absolutely love this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
