The development of this app has been ceased in January 2026. All users are recommended to migrate to the new "The Latte Helper" (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6757201427), built upon the Unified Pizza Engine. We are keeping this app available on the App Store to allow existing users to export their local profiles and gacha records. Upon updating to this version, you will see instructions for data migration when you open the app. "The Pizza Helper" is a third-party companion utility, not a game. By using this app, you can check the real-time recovery status of in-game stamina (Resin, Trailblaze Power, Battery Charge) for your Genshin Impact, Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero accounts directly via widgets. It also displays the status of Realm Currency, Expeditions (Assignments), Daily Commissions/Training, and more. We support Live Activities and iPhone Lock Screen Widgets. The app features a notification system to remind you when tasks are completed or stamina is full. Adding local accounts is simple, and the app supports multiple profiles, custom background namecards, and personalized widget settings. All features are free, with no in-app purchases. For the best experience, we recommend using this app on iOS devices that are not listed as "Vintage" or "Obsolete" by Apple to ensure smooth performance and stability.

The gist was because it makes maintenance harder and because of the security issue from users sending Spiral Abyss data on the old version. I respect their decision , but I also wish the app description mentioned this. I've never used the Spiral Abyss feature, and the app was working fine before even though I hadn't updated in years. I wish I hadn't updated because the old version was working fine and the new version disables itself bc my ios is too old. Thanks for all these years. I would rate it a 5 star except...it doesn't work anymore on my phone. I really liked the notification for when dailies are unfinished by a certain time each day. You should definitely try the new version if your phone supports it, it was already great years ago and I'm sure there's even more features now. **Developer response:** [Shiki's Response] Thanks for your comment. iOS 16.2+ can still use widgets, notifications, and watchOS complications. If your OS is older than iOS 16.2 then sorry for the inconveniences. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-05-15, version 5.1.3* It works and is like shiori hoyolab and HutaoDB in one ### 5/5 — 真爱 *2025-04-19, version 5.1.1* 原神名片好齐啊 ### 3/5 — ZZZ When? *2025-04-16, version 5.1.0* Support for ZZZ is still very limited. Looking for a replacement for Seelie on iOS? This could be it someday, but it would need a lot of work. ### 4/5 — Most useful app, some tweaks *2025-02-22* This app is great for quick checking the status of the games (for me is Genshin). Just some things I have noticed outside the app. The resin counter on the top of my phone isn’t clear on the time, it’s either 1XX:XX or 0:00. Is it supposed to countdown to receive 1 resin, or is it counting down until it’s full? Aside from that, it’s one of the best ways to check on status’ of almost everything in the game, much better than hoyolabs widgets. **Developer response:** It's the remaining time (min:sec) until the specified type of primary stamina gets fully charged. --- Shiki Suen (20250312) ### 1/5 — 旧版系统没人权？ *2025-01-11, version 4.3.7* 17.1以下版本app不更新了，祈愿获取数据直接报错了，应该是因为新角色的原因。不求你把新功能加上 至少老系统的基础功能能让我们正常使用吧。 ### 5/5 — Install this app right now *2024-11-20* if you play genshin, honkai star rail, or zenless you need to install this app now. So much love was put into it and there’s no paywalls (yet…) Download it. do it. do it right now. do it stop reading this review and download it ### 5/5 — Perfect little tool! *2024-11-11, version 3.3.1* Works perfect on my 7 plus on iOS 15! ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work for me but… *2024-09-28* Unfortunately the app doesn’t work for me, something on Hoyo’s side, 100% not on this developer. I joined the Discord and the developers were great and did the best they could to help me. ### 1/5 — Insufficient data visibility *2024-09-11, version 4.3.5* I tried logging in several times, but it kept saying the same message over and over. The widgets didn’t display the information I wanted. ## Frequently asked questions about The Pizza Helper ### What does The Pizza Helper do?

Please follow the in-app instructions to migrate your data.) - Added support for new characters and weapons introduced in Song of the Welkin Moon v6.3. New characters have these life-paths assigned: Columbina -> Harmony; Zibai -> Nihility; Illuga -> Harmony. - Solved some UI saturation issues when the background VM has already finished all pending tasks. - Views for in-app Real-Time Notes are refactored with unified layouts. Expedition tasks in both GI and HSR daily notes are showing progress information when possible. Specifically: Star Rail real-time notes now displays Consmic Strife completion status instead when Currency Wars completion status is available. Consmic Strife sums the score of Simulated Universe and Currency Wars together. - Adjusted the lifepath designation of certain Genshin-Impact characters. $EOF. ### 5.6.7 — 2025-12-22 // Major changes introduced in The Pizza Helper v5.6.7: - For a variety of concerns, the option previously labelled “Show characters’ real names instead” has been renamed to **“Show characters’ alternative names instead”**. Clarifying notes were added. The option is turned off by default and will be automatically turned off once after installing this update. (BEWARE: This app may face challenges related to the sustainability of its development and maintenance team. In the worst-case scenario, the app might be removed from the App Store and get re-released under a different team member's name and a new App Bundle ID: This app supports macOS and uses Group Containers, making it unable to meet App Store Connect’s criteria for a developer transfer. This means that if such re-release happens, it won't be able to access data from the original app. You will only be able to use your existing data backups to restore your information in the new app. We strongly recommend that you regularly back up your gacha records and local account data. A final decision may be made by the end of March 2026. Please also note that the new app may be temporarily unavailable for iOS users in mainland China due to the need to re-apply for an ICP record.) $EOF. ### 5.6.6 — 2025-12-18 // Major changes introduced in The Pizza Helper v5.6.6: - Added support for the new character `Constance` and her signature weapon introduced in Star Rail v3.8. - New behavior: On loading the Character Inventory View, the app will now reset the local EnkaDB cache if necessary. Once it detects that EnkaDB needs online-update, it will perform the update in the background. It's just that the data change is less likely to be reflected to the UI until the next time you load the Character Inventory View. - Fixed some rare cases of concurrency inefficiency problems. - Fixed an issue hindering certain UI assets of embedded widgets from being loaded on early releases of OS25. (BEWARE: This app may face challenges related to the sustainability of its development and maintenance team.

New characters have these life-paths assigned: Jahoda -> Harmony; Durin -> Erudition. - Fixed an issue hindering UI assets from being loaded among embedded widgets in early public releases of OS25.

The issue was unintentionally introduced in the previous update and could prevent certain widget types from loading. Note: this app's support for Zenless Zone Zero is limited to Real-Time and Widgets. (BEWARE: This app may face challenges related to the sustainability of its development and maintenance team.
