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! ### 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. ### 3/5 — Community bundles not accurate *2025-06-11, version 2.0.4* Please update as they are out of date to current bundles ### 5/5 — Super helpful! Download this app! *2025-01-14, version 2.0.4* This is the best stardew valley guide! It allows us to see villagers loved and liked gifts, it allows us to see when a fish can be caught (what time, season, ect), how to make clothes, and a ton more! This is so helpful for new players to this game because it teaches the player about town events and gives them valuable information about the game. If you play stardew valley, download this app! It is a MUST!! ### 4/5 — Why is this free but the game costs 7$99¢ *2025-01-07, version 2.0.4* Why does this is free but game cost 7 on + costs 10 on 1.6+ 32 I wanted stardew valley on iPad to get progress ### 5/5 — Great Gameplay Helper *2024-12-28* Really love this guide, it’s detailed and easy to use. Great UI design, looks pleasant and is super intuitive. Singlehandedly fills a big SV mobile guide hole. The only things I’m missing right now would be an additional seasonal overview, that combines items that can be collected anytime, as well as an in-app option to use dark mode outside of iOS settings. But since both these things are cherry picking, I don’t see any reason to not give this app five well-deserved stars. Absolutely recommend getting this. Bonus points for making the pro version available with a one time purchase, instead of a subscription. ### 3/5 — Two Companion Apps *2024-11-23, version 2.0.3* This app is great for item lookup and quest tracking, but not for relationships or bundle completion (unless you’re willing and able to pay for pro.) The Unofficial SV Guide App covers what is lacking here, as this one covers the aspects that the other lacks. Since I’m playing on mobile, I don’t always care for the load time of safari and the instability of the mobile wiki. I prefer the style of this app, and would prefer if it had all the features accessible, but personally think paying for free information is a little ridiculous. The payment could go towards allowing a pro-user to physically track their progress with buttons or counters, instead, it completely blocks the ability to view items within paid sections from non-pro users. In summation; just get the two apps and swap between them depending on your current objective. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2024-11-17, version 2.0.3* Definitely the most user friendly and aesthetically pleasing! Would love to see the addition of checklists to track progress. ### 4/5 — BY FAR THE BEST!!! But plz include more access for free to play. *2024-11-08, version 2.0.3* New updates have greatly improved game and UI. I have tried so many different ways to track and this app is by far the best. Thank you so much for actually trying to make it good. Please include someway to watch ads or something for a free to play person unlocking the entire app… ### 3/5 — Awesome , but… *2024-11-05, version 2.0.3* This is definitely one of the better guides on the apple App Store- but one thing I’d love to see added is a checklist for bundles, and a calendar for events /birthdays etc. overall good app but that would be my biggest request ### 3/5 — Plz add Dislikes and Hates *2024-10-18, version 2.0.3* I love the way this app looks, other stardew apps are rather hard to navigate and are just plain ugly. The only thing I want is for y’all to add the “Dislikes and Hates” to villagers gifts. ### 5/5 — Amazing, Beautiful UI, Organized *2024-08-25, version 2.0.2* This is the best SV guide and very underrated. Keep the amazing work ### 5/5 — The best Stardew Valley Companion *2024-07-15, version 2.0.2* Don’t use any other app. This is amazing and easy to use. I hope the developer continues to update and add to it :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — in-app purchases *2025-01-19, version 2.0.4* You have to buy the premium version to be able to use what should be a very basic feature. You can only view the first community center bundle unless you pay also its hard to find certain pieces of information like how much upgrading tools cost. Instead of being under the tools tab its under clints tab ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-12-07, version 2.0.3* I wanted to upgrade for the premium version but every time I try to buy it the app crashes. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-11-12, version 2.0.3* The app locks off 90% of the community centre until you purchase the right to do so for £5.99. No thanks I’ll just look at a list online for free ### 1/5 — Pay to use *2024-09-30, version 2.0.3* You have to buy the upgrade to use this app ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-05-24, version 1.1.2* No detail ### 2/5 — .. *2025-05-19, version 2.0.4* Paid $10 just to track my community center, thought I'd be at least able to continue tracking the rest of the progress after community center to help get perfection.. ### 2/5 — Good but paywall is infuriating *2024-07-14, version 2.0.2* Love the features and its very easy to understand navigate, but the fact that pretty crucial features, like most of the community centre bundles, are locked behind a paywall is pretty frustrating to me. Honestly I would rather have ads than have a paywall for most of the apps features ### 2/5 — Needs work!!! *2023-11-16, version 1.2.4* Very rushed was copy and pasted from Wikipedia theres a lot of descriptive issues with certain items some crafting recipes are incorrect ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 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! ### 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 ### 5/5 — I love this app so much! *2025-05-26, version 2.0.4* This app is AMAZING, But I wish there was a tracker for the museum and things like that… But otherwise this app is great! ### 5/5 — Better than the wiki! *2025-05-17, version 2.0.4* I have played stardew for over a year now and I tried using the wiki. It was super confusing. But this app has everything I need! I love it! 5 stars ### 5/5 — best companion app *2025-05-07, version 2.0.4* this is a great app to assist new and long time players in a variety of aspects of the game. i think it could be improved by adding museum collection information to the ‘my game’ section, and romance as well. thanks for the app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-01-27, version 2.0.4* This is a great and very aesthetically pleasing app for tracking your stardew progression. It could use a couple of small updates to stay up to date with stardew, and having the golden walnut locations to track would be a great addition. Overall, it’s a great companion app. ### 5/5 — Très utile ! *2025-01-17* Ce guide est très utile pour développer sa ferme et avoir des solutions rapidement. Petit plus, il est top niveau design ! Je rajouterai un axe d’amélioration, la possibilité de traduire l’application en différentes langues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
