User Reviews

Users praise ISS Vanguard Companion app for its high-quality voice acting and strong narrative that enhances the board game experience. However, many encounter significant audio problems—including Bluetooth incompatibility and audio dropouts—along with poor UI design that hampers navigation and reviewing logs. Battery drain and performance issues from unnecessary animations further degrade usability. Users express hope for updates addressing these major flaws, emphasizing the need for a more intuitive interface, better optimization, and reliable audio playback to fully realize the app's potential as a companion to the game.

Pros

High quality voice acting and audio content enhances immersion in the game's story.
The app serves as a functional and useful companion to the ISS Vanguard board game for many users.
Overall story writing and narrative provided through the app is excellent and immersive.
The app's visual design and perspective text design receive some appreciation.
The app complements the board game well and is highly recommended by some players.

Cons

Audio issues are widespread, including no audio output, Bluetooth audio not working, and audio cutting out when screen locks or app goes into background.
The app consumes excessive battery, attributed to continuous rendering of animations and effects irrelevant to gameplay.
Navigation and UI are unintuitive, with clunky controls such as scrolling through choice options instead of tapping, lack of clear logs/history, and no undo or revert functionality.
Poor optimization leads to lag, low frame rates, overheating phones, and excessive processor usage.
Limited features compared to the paper logbook and no support for Chromebook/tablets, along with missing expansion content support and lack of options to export audio or view past choices.

Fantastic fully voiced companion app that makes following the games story easy and immersive.

Ja*****, 2024-11-24

App is too bare bones. Very few quality of life features like a verbose history log, a undo/revert selection button, and graphic settings to turn off high battery usage of GPU effects. The effects that are there have no bearing on gameplay or story so are extremely unnecessary. I have seen much better 3rd party apps then this official app from a major game designer. The app also is different from paper log book as it hides multiple selections that are possible with certain log events. Need same.
