### 5/5 — Take my money, very good app.

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.4*

Thank you for your attentiveness.

### 5/5 — so good

*2026-05-15, version 2.0.4*

this is the best sv guide app out there, ive been using this app for more than a year, its time to write a review. its really good fr fr i love you dev

### 3/5 — ‘Restore Purchase’ button doesn’t work.

*2026-05-15, version 2.0.4*

Great app- I liked it enough to purchase the Pro version. Unfortunately, after upgrading my phone and reinstalling the app, I haven’t been able to restore my Pro purchase. I’ve tried closing and reopening the app multiple times, but the issue still persists. Hoping this can be fixed soon, because aside from this problem, I’ve really enjoyed using the app.

### 3/5 — Love it, but wish there was more to check off.

*2026-05-11, version 2.0.4*

For what i’ve been able to see, the only info youre able to “complete” is the community center, and the movie theatre. I wish we were able to check off achievements we’ve earned, and stuff like that. I also don’t really know how to sync my days into the app like it says you’re able to as well. It’s a little confusing if you buy pro, but it’s very helpful!

### 5/5 — Best guide

*2026-03-09, version 2.0.4*

This is my favorite guide to use! (Under the wiki of course) I suggest this app it is convenient and useful!

### 3/5 — Currently very broken

*2026-02-22, version 2.0.4*

The app is broken in a strange way that directly promotes purchasing the upgrade, almost forcing it. The bundles when completed do not register to unlock the next panel.

### 5/5 — My Favorite SDV App

*2026-01-16, version 2.0.4*

I paid for pro and have had zero regrets. By FAR my favorite app to use while playing! It’s easily navigable, pleasing to look at, and just overall great!

### 1/5 — Paid for garbage

*2025-11-04, version 2.0.4*

Doesn’t even allow you to look at community centre bundles without paying (£6!) for free information in a not so well designed app, no collection page options. Lackluster app.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-11-02, version 2.0.4*

Paid for premium and worth it definitely some other things they could add but i can see they are in the works of doinf

### 3/5 — Community bundles not accurate

*2025-06-11, version 2.0.4*

Please update as they are out of date to current bundles
