## Review summary

Users appreciate the companion app's live interactive map and its ability to access game data and make in-game purchases remotely. However, common issues include frequent connection problems with the map feature, reliance on external web pages for content, small and unreadable text, lack of tablet support, and significant battery drain. While the app's concept is praised, execution problems reduce overall usability, particularly for users with non-phone devices or OLED displays.

### Pros

- Interactive live map syncs with the game and works well when connected.
- Ability to access in-game information like journal, catalog, and player stats externally is useful.
- Can make in-game purchases via the app, saving time and maintaining gameplay immersion.
- Provides real-time tracking and navigation, enhancing player experience.
- Design and concept of companion app are appreciated and seen as innovative.

### Cons

- Live map connectivity is unreliable; often fails to connect or disconnects unexpectedly.
- Many app features link out to external web pages rather than being integrated within the app.
- Small text size and UI elements are hard to read, with no option to adjust font size.
- Lack of tablet compatibility and optimization, limiting usage to mostly phones with small screens.
- App drains battery heavily when using features like the live map, causing usability issues.
