Review summary

Users praise the app for its helpful ingredient lists, potion recipes, intuitive interface, and ingredient location details, making Skyrim alchemy easier and more efficient. However, multiple reviews highlight the need for updated content from newer game expansions, bugs related to the Paralyze effect, lack of favorite recipe saving, and minor UI annoyances. Overall, it is considered a highly useful and well-designed alchemy app with room for improvements in content updates and feature additions.

Pros

Helps users find ingredients and potion recipes easily, improving alchemy gameplay experience.
Includes locations of ingredients which assists in gathering resources efficiently.
User-friendly interface that is intuitive and faster to navigate compared to similar apps.
Ability to favorite ingredients and effects aids in organization and quick reference.
Useful for beginners and seasoned players to experiment with potion-making without using rare ingredients in-game.

Cons

Lacks updated ingredients and potion information from the Skyrim Anniversary Edition and Creation Club content.
Issues with 'Paralyze' effect where selecting it in some menus fails to load or causes glitches.
No option to favorite complete potion recipes or save custom potion mixtures for quick access.
Annoying user interface behavior when selecting ingredients, as it unnecessarily opens the search bar and keyboard.
Bug with duplicate ingredients showing up in recipes when not intended.

2023-09-01	Ol*****	So far my experience in using the app has been stellar! I'm familiar enough with the mechanics of alchemy that just remembering particular combinations is my main downfall - for which this is perfect. My only suggestion that I can think of would be possibly integrating Creation Club content as either a toggle or innate addition, for ingredients such as the Glassfish (added in the Fishing Creation as part of the Anniversary Edition). Otherwise, amazing work!

2022-12-22	Gu*****	It's a great app but I wish they'd fix the issue with some wording. Paralyze and paralysis is the one I keep having trouble with. Other than that, I wish there'd be an option to favorite a potion with the selected ingredients and an option to add custom ingredients, because you know, it's not like mods are a BIG thing in the game or anything...

2022-11-25	Ni*****	Does what it needs to do. Although offering exactly what other apps offer as far as recipes, this app does let you brew potions yourself which is nice. One drawback though is when you try picking out ingredients, the app opens up the search and your keyboard even though you didn't click search. So you have to close it out over and over again. :/ I mean why should one have to type out each ingredients name when you have all of them listed in front of you? Its just an annoyance.

2022-11-03	Pa*****	I've played Skyrim for 5 years, and my uncle played it for, maybe more, but when he showed me this app, I thought it was super cool, the only thing, is that the app needs the newer ingredients, from stuff like rare curious (I think 🤔), but other than that, this app's perfect 👍, definitely recommend for people either starting to get into alchemy, or even already use it (Like me).

2022-04-30	Th*****	Perfect 😍 I would also like to add favourite potion mixtures to the favourite tab, but this is really no big deal. Thank you for an excellent app 😊

2022-02-10	Al*****	THANK you for listing locations of ingredients! Some vendors carry so few of a particular item, I'd rather harvest them, and having all alchemy info in one app is quite handy.

2021-11-27	Jo*****	Infintely useful and well-constructed app. Only issue so far is selecting the Paralyze effect from any menu other than the main one will fail to load.

2021-11-13	Ja*****	Not bad. Pretty good interface. But you can't save favorite recipes, useful when you find some weird combination that sells great.

2021-11-08	Ad*****	If it had a "helper" feature that you input what ingredients you have in your inventory and let it generate a list of possible potions arranged by value like the Skyrim Alchemy Helper app, it would be outstanding... But, overall, it's ok... Having locations for each ingredient is very helpful, but this is just an encyclopedia to have on your phone so you don't need to check the Wiki.
