As we know the last ark Dino was added this month and I was hoping for an update to the app so it could make it more current. Due to the size of the app and how much that would have to be changed I would not be surprised if it took a while but it is a great app other than it being outdated. ### 5/5 — Great game just needs tweaking on some bugs *2023-05-25* Love this game it honestly helps me out a lot therapeutically keeps my mind off of worries while working with my dinosaurs and other animals. Have noticed recent bug with dinosaur not following while me and the rest of my dinosaurs are moving. Would like a fix in that as I’m not sure how to resolve. Have tried closing game and restarting hasn’t worked. Idk if apple update will fix it. But hopefully it’ll be resolved. Thank you for this game though helping me out a lot Mentally Honestly ### 5/5 — Amazing❤️‍🔥 *2021-12-18, version 2.4.3* Really good and it helps out a lot and it’s great for lots of things but I tamed a brontosaurus but the taming took 20 or 30 minutes and it was lvl 24 or 27 and I’m super happy that it barely has any ads and its great for taming hyenadon and it is right about everything and that’s why it amazing and I gave it a 5 stars👌👍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-05, version 2.4.3* This app is really amazing and has helped me learn so much about my favorite game! It is really easy to open up quickly when I want to get info on something in the moment and is actually pretty fun to just explore around the app to learn stuff that I could do in the game. My opinion: best ark helper app out there. ### 5/5 — Please do it *2020-12-12, version 2.4.3* What you should is you should make it so that you can use this app on ark survival evolved mobile because I can’t download ark on ps4 Xbox or pc so can you make it so that you can use this on mobile. You can make it so that the app can sync with ark and you can summon anything or do anything please add. ### 5/5 — So helpful for novice to expert *2020-10-29, version 2.4.3* Me and my friends all have ark, and while one speed runs in 2 days, I play as a casual player and get around fabricators in advancement, and my other friend just started getting into it and barely gets a crossbow, we all use this app as it’s insanely helpful from taming dinos when you need to know tranq amounts by specific levels, to planning out materials for any size project, to just making sure you get the sleep times right for taming dinos. 10/10 would recommend to any Ark player at any level of experience. ### 1/5 — Update required *2020-08-26, version 2.4.3* Honestly i can not say this is a bad app it is super helpful with running a server and all but it has not been updated in years. There are a lot of dlc dinos that are not on here and now crystal isles is released and still nothing. Instead of a one stop to get everything i need for ark i have to search for it. Again its not a bad app just becoming out dated and using it less and less. ### 5/5 — It’s the best I found *2020-08-05, version 2.4.3* I love that its offline, there are an abundance of options to choose from even admin commands, I’m sure it’ll come in the future but nothing for the tropeognathus is in yet and I think they should also add resource and dino spawn maps since those are immensely useful, overall, its a great well made app though ### 5/5 — Woah I wasn’t expecting this! *2020-07-20, version 2.4.3* The app is amazing! Many people think the good reviews are fake but this is real. The app tells u how to tame everything and how to do it too! Ever since I got this app taming stuff is so much easier and I know what I need so I don’t get to less or much! I really recommend this app, it doesn’t need WiFi either! ### 5/5 — Nice to have on my phone. *2020-06-22, version 2.4.3* I love how easy and quick it is to look things up. Love the different effectiveness of weapons to tame, and the order of what foods are quickest. I haven’t checked every Dino, but so far this is my got lost companion. And the maps were also very helpful! ## Frequently asked questions about Survive ARK Companion ### What does the Survive ARK Companion app do?
