Second the app is simple but has a cleaaaan layout. The descriptions are on point and the app is fast, unlike previous Tarkov “buddy” apps I’ve downloaded it doesn’t take 10 years to load something. I really can’t describe how great this app is and you’ll only know once you’ve actually downloaded it. Although the app is great and by far better than any other apps out there it can add some features that can make it better. You can add easy to access maps and update it every time the map updates and you can also add market prices and if any items are sold out and stuff. Battle state games should really partner or hire the developer so that they can have a mobile app where you can view your stash, hideout, etc. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2020-07-21, version 1.2.0* I’m pretty new to the game, currently level 10 but when I started doing my research on this app I started to realize why I wasn’t killing people as quick cuz I had doodoo ammo, very helpful for learning damage rates, ammos, armours and multiple other things! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-07-10, version 1.2.0* So with the new feature the price check the is a perfect app when your in Raif and find something that you don’t know what it is than you can just check it on this app, and there are so many other good features that help with just overall knowledge so I recommend just getting the app.👍 ### 5/5 — A must have for all levels *2020-07-09, version 1.2.0* As a rat who occasionally forgets and dies a chad I find myself waiting in the inventory management screen “perfecting” my load outs and sorting the scav loots for optimization. On the rare occasion I need information (always pester friend for quick answer) this provides most everything I could think to find. ### 5/5 — Really useful App *2020-07-08* Big thanks for taking the time you should integrate with the interactive maps online it would truly be a one stop shop for info then. ### 5/5 — Really smart, NO ADS! *2020-06-26, version 1.1.2* This app has a lot more than I expected. It was developed by a tarkov streamer so the information is based off experience, gameplay, and info from Nikita himself. There are no ads by default thanks to Veritas who keeps the app up by himself. ### 5/5 — Amazing but needs 1 thing *2020-06-20, version 1.1.2* This app is amazing it has everything I need and all the things I can use for learning but you should add detailed maps to help guide players around the maps and possibly add the ability to see the prices of a item ### 5/5 — For the boys *2020-06-03* Very good, helped me learn basics with the ballistics of this game ### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful *2020-05-27, version 1.1.2* I love this app! Especially when I need to look something up quick, instead of Alt-Tabing out of the game, I’m able to simply pickup my phone and get the info I need. Thank you so much for all your hard work ### 5/5 — Informative as F *2020-05-06* A grate app well designed a must have if you play tarkov ### 5/5 — One for the gamers! *2020-05-03* This is a purely informational app that is relevant to Escape from Tarkov, and can help both new and experienced players of the game. I use this app to see how I could improve my PvP skills and knowledge of what ammo to use and how it will do in a combat situation. The app also doesn’t have ads that interrupt you when you load a new page like other apps I have used in the past. All in all this is a solid app that was made with the intention to inform and help the EFT community and gets my approval and recommendation to any other players looking to learn about the game. ### 5/5 — Well done again Vertias! *2020-04-18, version 1.1.2* I always watched your content for information on the game and this app is really nice to have especially the damage potential. The app runs very good and is very helpful for the Tarkov experience! ### 5/5 — Should be a part of the actual game. *2020-03-26* Vertias went the extra mile by developing this app for the Escape from Tarkov players. Battle buddy should be part of the actual game. I only download this app last night and it’s already helped me win a few gunfights by helping me choose which ammo to use. This app has taken all of the uncertainty of tarkovs gameplay mechanics away, letting me have more fun and less frustration. If you’re a tarkov player you need this app. Ps: Love u Vertias<3<3 ### 5/5 — A+ *2020-03-06* Epic app! Lots of handy information ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too bad it’s not up to date. *2021-01-19* Was a great help for new players last wipe. But no one is keeping it up to date. ### 1/5 — Lazy development *2020-02-13* App hasn't been updated in months. Could be good if someone actually worked on this ### 1/5 — Too much fluff *2020-01-10, version 1.1.2* Super disappointed that you can look up a gun and see what mods go for that weapon. And that the ammo it shows is just thrown in there. You can’t ask it to show which ones have highest base damage or pen. But really the big kicker is not being able to see what mods go on a weapon. Most the other stuff is not very useful. Yay you can see a damage chart! Most of the time you don’t have enough time for any of that to matter. What to put on your gun? What ammo is best for what you want? What scopes go with this? What other pieces do I need? Way way more useful. ### 2/5 — Mmmmm *2019-10-20* Needs way more work but is interesting ### 3/5 — Was once great - but no longer useful. *2024-10-31* This was once an amazing app for checking information on armours and ammo, but since the changes to the mechanics in game it no longer works (and is also not as necessary due to the game itself listing ammo stats). ### 3/5 — Great app but crashes *2022-09-07, version 1.2.0* Been trying to use the damage calculator but it crashes the moment I tap on it. I was admittedly a few software updates behind so I went ahead and updated to the latest OS but it still crashes when I tap damage calculator. Using iPhone 13 pro ### 3/5 — Excellent guide and status tool *2021-01-05, version 1.2.0* This app isn't just the best source of solid data on EFT items and market prices, it's the only credible tool as of this review. Why three stars? No landscape display mode. This is a significant loss of tablet usability. Fix that and keep the data accurate and current would justify five stars, a rating I very rarely award. ### 4/5 — Great app for iPhone but... *2020-09-20, version 1.2.0* The app works well, its laid out fantastic and scales well on iPad. However, it doesn’t rotate when the iPad is in landscape mode and that severely limits its usability for me as I use a keyboard case and can’t leave it in its case and use this app. It’s a very simple change that would make it loads more usable for anyone that has their iPad in landscape primarily. 5 stars when that changes. Again, fantastic app, great info, well laid out, but it doesn’t support rotation and its thus only usable when I rarely need to use it NOT playing. ### 4/5 — Medical isn’t showing anything *2020-06-11* If medical showed up then it would be 5 stars but it doesn’t it’s blank so 4 ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-02-17* Pack full of useful info for new player but would be great if you guys would include maps for learning points of interest and extraction points. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 minutes into this you know… *2024-06-17* You can tell this person/team cared about making a quality product. Absolutely love everything they have done. Only addition it’d be nice to have map layouts in here, but other than that no complaints only complements! ### 5/5 — It’s been a while *2021-04-21, version 1.2.0* This app came out just before I stopped playing. I was at the time a decent player. I’m about to have everything arranged enough with my personal life to get back into it. This is one of the tools helping me see the bigger picture. ### 5/5 — Outstanding app, easy to use and pertinent information *2021-04-14* I’ve been using this app for a while and now it’s time to give it a review. First off is the ease use. Topics of interest are well laid out. Intuitive interface and just enough features to gain the metrics you want without too many options or tick boxes. Second is the graphics style. Crisp clean and within keeping of EFT, evocative, without cluttering the information you want. Third is the depths of research that lifts the opaque curtain over the game. This tool helps you to understand how you got TARKOVED, and how you may have changed that. This is possibly the best tool to keep people in the game. You have a great deal of power in your hand, and for a more casual player, you can make wiser choices for your game time. Bravo Veritas, well done. ### 5/5 — Shattered face mask is wrong *2021-04-11* The app is great and all, but it says the shattered face mask has 0 armour rating, but this isn’t true. The face mask has 1 armour rating easily stopping most buckshot rounds in the game. I would like this to be revised. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-02-06* This is an absolutely wonderful tool designed for the game, and more importantly, free of charge. Jam packed with information, tips, stats, etc. I still use this on the regular to check what ammo is good, which is convenient with how trash my memory is! ### 5/5 — Great app few cons *2021-01-30, version 1.2.0* Great app to use, only con is that this app needs to be updated with every wipe and update of the game. Not every medical item is on here, I haven’t checked to see if all the ammo is on here. But overall this is a good app to use for beginner and pro. Also this app will allow users to learn the items of the game and how they are implemented. Will give a 5 star review if it is updated at the correct times that it needs to be updated. ### 5/5 — Best Informational Tarkov App *2020-12-25, version 1.2.0* Veritas has put a lot of attention and effort into BattleBuddy and it shows! This app is a must have if you enjoy delving into the details about armor, ammo, and weapons characteristics in Tarkov. My friends and i refer to the information on the app often, and veritas does a great job of keeping it up to date :) 10/10 ### 5/5 — Excellent job Veritas *2020-12-12* Your work is understated. Absolutely perfect app that I regularly refer to while playing EFT. Keep up the good work and although it might seem like thankless work sometimes, I assure you it is appreciated. Maybe one day you can add a tasks section? Obviously they change often and it would take a ton of work, but that would make your work comprehensive. ### 5/5 — Actually works *2020-12-04, version 1.2.0* This is one of the few apps that the UI is extremely good and looks great. Also all info is fact and correct as far as I can tell. I would recommend. ### 5/5 — Some new ideas *2020-11-28, version 1.2.0* This is a really great app for people who are new to the game and for people who find them selfs still a little lost but there are a few things that could be added that’s would be really cool Like having a map for each of maps and all the spawn locations are and then if you could even make your own pmc like if you were in your stash --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
