BedrockTogether helps Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players connect to supported servers from compatible console platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Any server shows up as a local network game on your console, so you can join it directly from the game — no computer required, no DNS changes. How it works: 1. Enter the server's address and port in the app. 2. Tap "Run". 3. Open your game and go to the Friends/Worlds tab. 4. The server appears as a local game — tap it and play. Compatibility: • Any device that can browse local network games in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition • A second connection method is available for devices that can't see local network games directly, using an in-game friends list instead Other features: • A ready-to-join list of partnered servers • Save your favorite servers for quick access • Ad-free version available in the app The app is free and ad-supported. If you'd prefer no ads, the ad-free version is available from Info → Ad-free Version, and also lets you save more than two favorites and hide the partnered servers list. Notes: • Your phone and game device must be on the same network. • Keep the app open while you play. • Realms are not supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: UG Calculator at 93% against BedrockTogether's 55%. UG Calculator also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). BedrockTogether's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 97) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BedrockTogether holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BedrockTogether has 59K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of BedrockTogether's written reviews are positive against 93% of UG Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BedrockTogether ships an update every 5 days, UG Calculator every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
