## Review summary

Users praise XIV Helper for efficient crafting planning, item calculation, shopping lists, and bookmarking, which save time and reduce tab switching. However, startup crashes and requests for prereq material visibility—showing all raw materials and prerequisites—are common. Fixing stability and adding complete prereq lists would make it an even more valuable omnicrafter companion.

### Pros

- Helps calculate required items for crafting and planning, saving time.
- Shopping lists for ingredients and bookmarks for frequently used recipes.
- Keeps you from switching to other apps and feels intuitive to use.
- All-in-one tool with time-saving features for dailies and omnicrafters.

### Cons

- Crashes on startup or fails to load.
- Lacks full prereq material lists (needs to show raw materials for prerequisites in recipes).
