### 4/5 — Good Foundation

*2026-05-31*

I use this app as a starting foundation for each factory I build, I noticed the math can be wrong from time to time, but it tells me enough to get the factory going. I’d recommend this app as a starter to bigger factories.

### 5/5 — Not sure at first…

*2025-12-28*

I don’t think I was really sure how to use this at first, but now I love it. Being able to just plan out a section of your factory is really nice, I wish you could edit the the recipes by changing the number of made items OR ingredients (for if you had limiting amount of an item). The map alone is worth this app, any website maps I visit are loaded with ads. Thanks for keeping it free!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2025-12-19*

Takes just a second to learn how to use and what everything does but once you do, it works pretty well. Map is a nice plus as well. Thanks a lot!

**Developer response:** Thanks for a feedback! Glad you’re enjoying the app!

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2025-12-15, version v2.2.0*

Latest update has made this even better, thanks for adding the map!

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2025-12-14, version v2.2.0*

Thanks, you’ve put everything in one spot, much more useful than trying to browse the wiki on my phone. Awesome!

### 4/5 — Needs a little more guidance.

*2025-10-02, version v2.1.4*

I love satisfactory as much as the next person, but I feel like there could be more guidance as to how to actually use the app. I can’t figure out how to add stuff to my factory for the life of me </3

### 4/5 — Favorite Factory Planner

*2025-09-24*

This is by far my favorite tool to use for planning my builds in Satisfactory. I find it easy to use and convenient. The only thing that makes this app not as great is the lack of a Maximize option and a Map (not necessarily showing all collectables but resources). If those two features were added, this app would be on the same level if not better than some of the websites out there

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-09-04, version v2.0.6*

Love this game, but right now it is not the best. It would be good to have a planner like satisfactory modeler on steam. Otherwise, love this

### 5/5 — Simple UI, great!

*2025-07-14, version v2.0.6*

I love how this gives me the info I need, nothing more, in a very visual way. No data overdose. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Helpful but Lacking

*2025-03-27, version v2.0.6*

It works nice to see exactly what you need to make an item, even at quantity. 

But it doesn't tell you what an item is used for. 

Ex. It will tell me what i need to make a rotor. 
But it doesn't tell me what rotors are used to make.

### 4/5 — Nifty little helper

*2025-02-18, version v2.0.6*

Traveling abroad, I had some free time and found this app. Though I’m not able to play, I started browsing and testing the app and so far I am impressed in the simplicity of it. It’s so helpful planning production chains. One thing I wish is that, once you have a production chain example, the items per minute are based on the initial item you started with but it would be great if I could tap any chain item (more likely the basic resources) and start from there. The easy work around is just playing with the values till your base resource shows the max you can/want it to produce. 
It seems water extractors are not included in the statistics, it would be great to have that added. 
So far so good and this app sure deserves some attention from Satisfactory players. Thank you 👍

### 4/5 — Very cool!

*2025-01-23*

This is a very cool and useful app, and I have a suggestion, a tutorial on how to use the app because it is kinda difficult to figure out what things mean.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2026-01-27, version v2.2.1*

The console version number you have is outdated, The map could do with the colors of the map for example, The desert biome should be more orange, The jungle biome should be dark green. Maybe a full list of recipes and the alternatives and all the tiers should be included along with a list with all that is needed for them and for the space elevator. These are just suggestions that would male the app more useful.

### 1/5 — There’s no benefit to using this

*2025-11-14*

I had high expectations I guess. I don’t see the point of this app at all. Why have a factories tab? It’s a list you have to create and assign an icon to. That’s it. That’s all that tab does. Congrats. You have a list. You could have made a list anywhere, but it’s a major feature in this app? Ok… 
You have to go into settings and enable ingredient names? Really? 
Hmm. Yeah, this is bunz. I’m deleting it. Nice idea, poor execution.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this review.
I guess, you did not spend enough time to even try to understand what this app can do. Otherwise you would at least try to look around and tap different things. For example any recipe, which will bring you to a production planner, that can be later saved to a factory you are already familiar with.

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2024-10-31, version v2.0.5*

Was fine when first installed prior to 1.0 release but then once app update am getting “failed to load application please try again later screen with error details the data couldn’t be read because it is missing. Please help

### 2/5 — Only good for the map

*2026-02-03*

Factory planning is relatively overcomplicated compared to satisfactory modeler and anyone who disagrees has never used it. Also the app demands too much loyalty from the user. You are supposed to input all of your factories so you can be organized or whatever but if I want to use satisfactory modeler or satisfactory calculator, I have to waste time putting in the factories. And if I don’t, then what’s the point of having the app? I have two options: waste time putting in all my factories or not use the factories tab at all. The app is just turned into an interactive map which can be found on MULTIPLE websites. This entire app is only convenient if you play on a console because you can’t access a website on your console to find the mini map. But, I must give credit where credit is due. The power consumption in factory planning is actually really convenient. Unfortunately, there’s no point using the app to calculate power consumption when you can use satisfactory calculator that is 3x easier and faster AND plans your factory while showing you the power consumption.


Conclusion:
App is a gimmick and you should only get if you play on console or prefer to look down at your phone instead of the side of your screen to see an interactive map.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2025-09-23, version v2.1.2*

App was working well till the newest update , 3 times I have created a complex factory layout for nuclear and 3 times the app crashes and says failure to load .  Only way to fix it is to uninstall and then reinstall 😑

### 2/5 — Love the effort, not so much the update

*2024-09-20*

Pity. The latest update, clearly a work of love on the part of the developer, has pretty much borked the entire experience. 

The UI feels like a downgrade, elements are now quite small and pressed tightly into the sides and corners of the app. It feels harder to navigate and less useful.

**Developer response:** Hello!
Thanks for the feedback. 
Indeed, design is a hard work of developers who tried their best to bring you the best experience. If you have any suggestions how it can be improved, feel free to share your thoughts via a feedback button on a Settings tab.

### 3/5 — Ehh

*2026-06-14*

If you want to make it better, I would look at satisfactory modeler on Steam. The way it is done right now is really hard to organize for anything with more than 3 or 4 production lines. Good luck making anything more complicated than turbofuel

### 3/5 — No ore directly from a drill?

*2026-04-30*

It doesn’t seem like you can select ores that come directly from a drill, it seems
That you can only plan to have them crafted by something else, I am not sure if the power for the machines required to make said ores affects anything at all either

### 3/5 — Great but Unstable

*2026-04-29*

Love the app when it’s working. It does a good job of displaying complex factories on a fairly small screen, and the interactive map checklist is really useful. The problem is that it crashes a lot when I’m editing factories, particularly for the Phase 5 project parts. Seems like it gets updated fairly regularly, so hopefully this gets addressed fairly soon so I can update this to a 5.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2025-05-22, version v2.0.6*

It does the basics needs the base resource node for input to really be a complete helper

### 5/5 — Great and Stable Now

*2026-07-10*

I can’t figure out how to update my old review, but the only complaint I had seems to have been fixed! Would recommend this!

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving an update! We are happy, that your issue is resolved 😊

### 5/5 — Amazing QoL App!

*2026-05-14*

This app is an absolute essential for exploring the map as an OCD completionist. I love it! I can’t imagine playing this game without it! 

(I was actually coming here to request multiple map profiles, and realized you added with recent update. Thank you!!! 😍😘❤️)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-30, version v2.2.4*

Enough said

### 5/5 — Overclocking and sloops

*2026-04-17*

I love this app as a new player to satisfactory I love the idea of visually planning out your factory before building it and knowing what machines to use but I wish you could edit the machines used and add power shards and or summersloops so there isn’t that many machines used. Other than that I love this app and I’m gonna use it for every mega factory I build

### 5/5 — Best satisfactory helper app hands down 👏👏👏

*2026-03-19, version v2.2.2*

I would love to support you guys with a in app purchase much love ❤️

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-03-05, version v2.2.2*

For the maps port to a convenient UI that isn’t plastered with ads I am eternally grateful.

### 5/5 — Fantastic companion app!

*2026-02-25, version v2.2.2*

Kudos to the developer, the app is really useful and very well made! A must have companion app to Satisfactory.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2026-01-25, version v2.2.1*

This tool is great. Its so nice to have this on a tablet while playing.

### 5/5 — Excellent, would even pay for this

*2026-01-06, version v2.2.0*

Very good app, better than the outdated online ones and the gpt one that uses old recipes.

### 5/5 — Nifty little helper

*2026-01-02, version v2.2.0*

After the latest major update, I decided to up my review to 5 stars. Adding the map is brilliant and the complete refresh (to match iOS liquid design) works well. The one thing I miss is the options to select what to do with waste products. You do have the ability to select a recipe to add the waste to the chain but it would be great to also has an option to discard the waste which will then ask how to discard it (in the awesome sink as is, or package it if it’s a liquid). These items can then be added to the statistics. Thanks for creating this amazing tool 👍
