## Review summary

Users appreciate MapGenie for its detailed and accurate maps that greatly assist in navigating Dying Light. The app helps players find items and blueprints easily, making 100% completion more manageable. However, common issues include limitations in the free version, occasional lag or map loading problems, and sometimes unsaved progress. The user interface could be improved visually, and some content updates are missing. Overall, it remains a valuable tool for players despite these flaws.

### Pros

- Very accurate and true to in-game locations, helping players find items and blueprints easily.
- Comprehensive and detailed interactive map that assists in completing the game 100%.
- Easy to navigate despite the UI being somewhat visually unpleasant.
- Keeps up with the game updates for the most part, avoiding repeated visits to the same locations.
- Helpful for players wanting to breeze through the game and find essential loot.

### Cons

- Free version limits tracking to only 100 items, forcing purchase of Pro version for full functionality.
- Map loading or lagging issues causing the app to freeze or not load correctly, requiring workarounds.
- Progress or tracking not being saved properly between sessions.
- Some users feel the app is more like a link or web wrapper than a fully independent app.
- Missing some recent additions or maps, notably for Dying Light 2 or Easter eggs.
