I did pay for the app but tried to look things up and the recipes were incomplete. So kind of makes it kind of useless. Since then I have to go on Google what I need anyway. ### 4/5 — Missing items *2024-12-06, version 1.0* There’s a lot of food, dishes and crafting items that are missing from recent additions to the game like story, Brook vale or eternity aisle ### 3/5 — Time update *2024-11-17, version 0.12.2* I think they have their times mixed up it says white squirrels are available from midnight to 6 am on Sundays but they aren’t showing on my game ### 4/5 — Needs Update *2024-11-04* I absolutely adore this app! It’s so helpful! Only problem is it’s not updated for the rift in time expansion. Now if there is a spot I missed, I’ll correct myself but I do love this app! Helps me a lot for tracking my plants and what foods I need! **Developer response:** just put out an update! ### 3/5 — Good but incomplete *2024-02-10, version 0.12.2* This isn't a complete guide without the ability to keep track of the characters you have too, as well as their level, role, favorite gifts, daily discussions, etc. ### 4/5 — It’s really useful app just add update *2024-01-24, version 0.12.2* Hi, I absolutely love this app and I always use it so that’s good Also make sure you add every meals on it from dreamlight valley as I think sweet herring meal isn’t on there app And I was wondering if you going add eternialy isle meals on it? ### 3/5 — Good *2024-01-14, version 0.12.2* But would be great if this app was updated to the newest update critters and everything ### 4/5 — Update please! *2023-12-28, version 0.12.2* I just bought the app but didn’t notice it wasn’t updated to include the newest content. Can you update it please? ### 3/5 — Needs update to new area *2023-12-25, version 0.12.2* This is a very handy app, but it doesn’t include anything from the new area that was just added like the new ingredients, and items. ### 2/5 — Fantastic app *2023-12-17, version 0.12.2* It’s a fantastic app needes updating for the new DLC ### 4/5 — Perfect for the base game *2023-12-12* I downloaded this app last year and it’s been amazingly helpful. I recently paid for the pro version as it said it would update to include any DLC’s, but so far I haven’t seen anything for Eternity Island, which is why I rated 4 stars instead of 5. If you’re just looking for a companion app for the base game, I recommend this app! If your looking for an app that includes both the base game and and DLC’s, maybe look elsewhere for the time being ### 4/5 — Français ??? *2023-11-22, version 0.12.2* Possible in french please !! 🥺😒 ### 4/5 — Love the app *2023-10-09* Very helpful app. My only issue is that some of the recipes don’t list the full ingredients. For instance, spring chocolate doesn’t list the spring egg needed to make it. Lioness Feast doesn’t list the Here and There fish in its ingredients. I have to use my browser to look up the full list which makes the app pointless. I’m sure there are others as it appears to be recipes that contain a special item. **Developer response:** Ill look into that, it should be working ### 3/5 — Overall Good But Needs Tweaking *2023-08-03* I really liked this app when the base game came out - really easy to track everything but especially meals! However I recently updated the app and not only did I lose everything that I had saved as items/recipes I had found, but I’ve noticed now multiple recipes are missing ingredients (for example, Veggie Casserole is a 4 star meal but on my app only lists 2 ingredients needed). I know that this is a one-person/small-person team designing this app so this isn’t meant to be read as rude or even upset, but I wanted to be honest in my feedback! **Developer response:** Im so sorry that you lost all your data, ill investigate how that happened. I will also look into missing ingredients. Please email me and ill send you a code for a free pro upgrade ### 4/5 — Ravens *2023-06-19, version 0.12.0* It’s a great app but you don’t the Ravens as critters ### 4/5 — Pro version *2023-05-26* I am not sure if this app is still being updated, the last update was 2 months ago, but it is very nice in its current state. Would be perfect with a furniture and clothing checklist (which is on the app roadmap) with their pictures (if that’s possible) I’m using the pro version, hoping the purchase is helping them making these updates! **Developer response:** Sorry had some personal stuff get in the way of updates, but now I’ll have a lot of updates coming one after another including what you mentioned ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashing *2025-05-28, version 1.0.1* Ads keep crashing the app ### 1/5 — While I still use it, I’m disappointed *2024-07-25* This was always my favorite app for use as a Dreamlight Guide. I love how easy it is to save the collections that we have, and how easy it is to find them. Currently, the developers seemed to have lost interest in keeping the app up to date. The app is great, if you only play in the Valley, but since the Eternity Isle DLC has been released, this app is outdated. The last update that the developers made was a year ago, and the appearance is that they will not be updating it to include the new content. I do still hold onto it to refer to the times that certain critters will be available (I am missing one from each set), and the times to water the garden. That is all I would recommend this app for. Disappointed that I splurged and got the premium, when the app was just to be forgotten about by the ones I sent the money to. ### 1/5 — No Update *2024-07-02, version 0.12.2* Please update and add critters, meals, etc, for Eternity Isle! ### 1/5 — Does not support Eternity Isle DLC *2024-04-05, version 0.12.2* App was great initially but doesn’t support new DLC so it is now redundant for those playing with expansion. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate and useless *2023-09-24* I downloaded to help my wife complete her cooking list. The first 3 items we looked up were completely inaccurate and stated only 1 ingredient when 4-5 ingredients were necessary. When some of the items required are very hard to come by, it’s distressing to think of using them and getting nothing from them. I didn’t look at anything else in the app as it already lost my trust. I’ll stick with IGN guides that are always dead-on accurate and up-to-date. Also, I think it’s funny that an app, in which the developer can’t bother to update, is trying to charge $5 for it. Shameless. ### 1/5 — Meh *2023-03-31, version 0.10.6* I understand this is stil being developed and while cuter than some others it leaves a lot to be desired AND I have a notification badge but NO idea why! Driving me insane ### 1/5 — Resets upon updating *2023-01-22, version 0.10.2* I liked it but it keeps resetting all my items to missing when it updates. Not trying to do it every time there’s an update. Deleted the app. Update: Dev plz provide me with email address as I was unable to find on your website. ### 1/5 — Just Terrible, *2022-11-04, version 0.7.4* I thought it would be like the animal crossing one, which is perfect bower on this one it doesn’t have anything to say that you’ve found it. All you do is click on ‘found’ but nothing happens. If you need one specific item but you forgot which one, you’d have to click on every single thing to find that one thing you need. Also the icons don’t even look like you tried, it’s just some basic emojis. If I made a game, I would at least include the actual items or at least try to get it looking a bit more like the items. I was really disappointed by this app as it is the only one like it. Please fix this game. Thank you for reading this. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-10-21, version 0.7.3* I thought this would be like the animal crossing checklist app but this is so basic printing out the list they ticking the ones I have would be just as useful as this even more so as this doesn’t have a list of different types of animals it just has the animal as a checklist ### 2/5 — It was good *2025-02-02, version 1.0.1* It’s no longer up to date recipes are not there times are off. It was a great help now it’s not bummer! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DLC? *2024-02-19, version 0.12.2* Any chance of putting rift in time stuff here too? Pls and Ty ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed! *2024-02-07, version 0.12.2* This is the perfect companion for this game. I have no complaints other than I would love to see it updated to include A Rift in Time expansion! ### 5/5 — Any updates coming soon? *2023-12-12* I’ve loved the app so far. Paid for the no add unlimited version. With the new Rift in Time update, will this app get any updates soon to account for the new plants, critters and food? ### 5/5 — Please update! *2023-12-11, version 0.12.2* Great app. Please add info from new Rift in Time update! ### 5/5 — Updated to 5 stars *2023-06-21, version 0.12.0* I had originally given a glowing 4 star review but the developer is amazing and within a day responded to a small error I had noticed. Very impressed : ) ### 5/5 — 5 month Review :) Get It *2023-04-21* I have been loving the app since I downloaded the game back in December 2022. I love that I’m able to keep track of when it rains when I planted items, what’s your feed animals things like that. It’s very convenient and easy and very straightforward which I love. I did pay the $4.99 so that I forever will have this app and will stay up to date as game progresses Things that I want the developer to know to add so that Apt can be even better. -add each character and list their favorite foods - add items that you can craft with material and take -Add a checklist so that you can check off things that you have already accomplished such as all the food you’ve already made, furniture, and clothes that you have already gathered and so on I just want to say those are the only things at this moment that I would love to have added to the app so that I don’t have to keep going to Google to find the answers. Overall love the app it’s literally the only one I’ve downloaded since I got the game and it keeps me on my toes. I think my favorite feature will most definitely have to be the notification when animals come out that way I don’t miss an opportunity to feed them. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review I love it! Crafting is coming super soon. I’m just finishing up the last of the images ### 5/5 — 2nd review *2023-04-14* Leaving this reveals a follow up, I’ve realized there is no time zone issues, I’m just a dodo and didn’t realize it was saying the critters are available until 12AM that night because they’re an all day critter!! Thank you so much for responding and offering to check the issue out, however there is no issue, I’m just a dodo lol. This app is great and I love it!! **Developer response:** It should be using your devices time zone . I’ll look into this and see what may be causing the bug ### 5/5 — You can’t make everyone happy *2023-04-07* I want the developer to know that I really appreciate all the hard work and effort that they have put into this app. I thoroughly enjoy it and realize that it takes time to get features and bugs solved especially if this is a one man job or even a small team. I had no problem paying for premium and the fact that it is a one time purchase and not a subscription it’s very appealing to me. Reminds me of the way apps in the App Store used to be. My suggestion would be to add a “tip jar” for those of us who want to give a little extra support for when you release more updates. Thanks for this quality app. Can’t wait to see the updates to come. Highly recommend for the casual dreamlight gamer. **Developer response:** Wow thank you so much this review made my day. I am working hard on new features but I am prioritizing quality so it’s taking a while Also no need to tip. Going pro and leaving a review is everything I could ask for. Glad you are enjoying the app, I’ll be thinking about people like you while grinding late nights on the new features ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2023-01-28, version 0.10.3* Just started using this app. I really like the countdown to help with crops. I’ll most likely upgrade so I can have lots of timers going. ### 5/5 — Paid version? *2023-01-16* I love this app! It’s been so great that I’m really tempted to purchase the paid version BUT I’m not seeing what the difference is other than no ads but i already don’t get ads so I’m not sure what exactly I’d be paying for. Please advise what the difference are, i would love to pay for it if i knew what the differences would be. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and wanting to go pro. You are right the features need to be better advertised Right now Pro includes * Cloud Storage * Ad Free * Unlimited Crop Timers There will be more pro exclusive features in the future as I am making more app features. I just also want to make sure that free users also get a great experience and I don't lock too much behind pro --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
