Review summary

Elite Dangerous TradePad Pro is praised for aiding trading and route planning, enhancing gameplay with a user-friendly interface. However, numerous users report significant problems with outdated and inaccurate trading data, causing financial losses and frustration. The app often fails to compute viable trade routes, limiting its utility. Lack of frequent updates and errors in commodity availability diminish reliability. Despite these issues, some users appreciate the developer's prompt fixes and find the app a valuable research tool for in-game activities.

Easy to use interface appreciated by many users.
Positive impact on gameplay, making trading and resource finding simpler.
Developer responsiveness to issues and updates noted by some users.
Good tool for out-of-game research aiding in in-game productivity.

Cons

Frequently outdated and inaccurate trade data leading to lost credits.
Route calculation often fails or provides no results, reducing app usefulness.
Inability to find routes or commodities at specified stations due to incomplete or incorrect data.
Insufficient updates to content and commodities, missing new ships and markets.
User interface issues such as forced station name entry and poor navigation through routes.

2025-01-17	Pa*****	So far the information is horrible. Ships that can't even be sold at current stations say they being sold there. Heck stations themselves have been in the system it said.

2025-01-02	Ad*****	This is a brilliant utility. The new update is excellent and means that you cannot see cargo that you currently cannot afford to transport. The only problem now is that the app needs to be updated to ensure that the content is up to date (i.e. to include the new that were ships to the game such as the Cobra V and Mandalay)

2023-01-13	Ja*****	Used to be really handy when it first came out, would give you a route to maximise profits and made grinding your way to the bigger ships a breeze Coming back to it after a few years and it's a surprise when it gives you a route at all, mostly it never stops processing or tells you there's no routes regardless of criteria. It's a bit pointless having an app if you have to calculate routes yourself.

2022-12-06	An*****	Can't find any routes, void opals never show up, and a ton of planets are missing. Pointless app, has great potential if it would do what it's susposed to do

2022-02-02	Ma*****	Very useful and easy to use, or it isn't...with the barest of filters, it will still suggest I weaken my filter. Prices seem to be turning up incorrect sometimes when it'll tell me they were just updated. If I wanted to go back through the stages of a route, I can't because the UI sends me to the initial filtering page.

2021-08-14	Ja*****	This app is an extremely helpful addition to anyone playing Elite Dangerous. I have been able to maximize my trading profits in a way that saves a lot of time. Thank you.

2021-05-17	if*****	I've been using the free version for a couple months and liked it very much. Very useful in a game this massive. So I bought the paid version. UPDATE: I had an issue with getting proper results from this app, the devs fixed the issue as fast as you can jump from Ceos to Sothis. Those nasty Thargoids will try anything to corrupt the galaxy! ;-) Still an awesome tool!

2021-03-19	An*****	Could be a good app, if the data was correct at the time you're looking at. How are you supposed to accomplish the projected profit if the data is outdated? I actually lost credits on a trade that was supposed to be a profit. Supply and demand change to frequently for this to work. It's far from live data and with having stations Last updated by days. Refunding. Dont buy.

2021-03-01	Jo*****	Could be great but the updates are lacking at best. Just lost a ton of credits due to inaccurate trade values/inventory and couldn't find anywhere within 30 Ly to sell to. MORE FREQUENT AND MORE ACCURATE COMMODITIES UPDATES! Fix this and I'll give you more stars.

2020-10-11	Da*****	App doesn't seem to have updated prices. Maybe try and pull the data from eddb, inara or edsm. This app had potential, but with outdated info it's kinda useless. edit So console users along with the majority of pc users use edsm to update system info. I highly recommend trying to pull info from there. Your info is out of date and your app is currently unreliable. Giving 1 star now since apperrantly you aren't listening to the reviews.
