Official Dead Island Map App App Reviews

This is a fantastic start... But is missing a few crucial elements to make it a fully legit offering: * Key locations, such as the lifeguard house and the church, should be labeled. * Locations of workbenches, fast travel locations, and key NPCs, possibly even quest givers * I am seeing reports of incomplete and/or inaccurate data on the 2nd and 3rd maps. Perhaps this is because of the dev build that was accidentally released to the public via Steam? Either way, this is a great idea, and one I hope more game studios will embrace in the future. Not everyone needs or wants to pay $15 for a full strat guide, but many will pay a few bucks just for a basic maps without in-depth strategy. Unfortunately, this particular offering falls just short of giving what it needs to give to be a truly functional map. Add key locations, workbenches, and revisions for accuracy and you have a 5-star app.

I would like to see more information, like blueprints, skulls and other uniques. Other landmarks like shops and portals I feel are mandatory... Maybe some gameplay hints and tips, then, maaayyybeee it would be worth the 3$ pricetag...

This app worked great for the resort map. It did not work at all for moresby. There were multiple instances of incorrect depictions of locations. I think they were moved some time during development but thats no excuse. Just for example, ID card 43 is supposed to be in an abandoned house ala guide. When I got to the house it was nowhere to be found. It ended up it was outside the house. Some of the clues are just flat out wrong. A card that is in a warehouse in moresby says that it is in the jungle. For the good, the pictures are very helpful in finding the item. Although sometimes theyre not representative of the scene. E.g. One has a picture of a bench with mattresses leaning up against it, the clue says that its hidden behind some mattresses on a bench. This clue would be great, if I hadnt progressed the story. I kept searching for a bench with mattresses to no avail only to finally match up the background with the picture and find out there are no mattresses. Also, some of the numbers are off. I was looking for a fact book that the guide claimed was book #9. I did not have book 9 in my inventory but the book was not where the guide said it was (I had already picked up the book that was there) I gave it three stars in hope that a developer will look at it and do a quick spot check of their maps. If youre going to charge $3, at least do some quality control on it!

Very inaccurate after resort n very limited collectables!!

Def worth it, and yes, Im one of those people who needs to find EVERYTHING before moving on.. Haha

Awesome app. But it does not give the location to ALL collectibles. As there r 100 id cards in the game and app only gives 75. Plz update and fix ty

The app could has been better, however after 30 hours of playing my game data got corrupt so it all went down the tubes. Before that I had to replay the same part 2 time both totaling 4 hours because it didnt save...Im trading this game in today. DO NOT BUY

Missing over 40 collectibles

This app does not show all the collectables like they say it does. I found some ID cards in the sewers,hotel and who knows were else.

I was hoping for skull locations, skull dropoffs, and bungalow numbers. What we get instead is stuff youre gonna find really easily just playing along . You do get pinpoint locations of the recordings, id cards, and facts which do work well, and are cool, but like I said.. you stumble across that stuff naturally. I wish it had the names and locations of the supermarktet, the abandoned apartment building etc.. Perhaps the devs could add the skull locations.. then it would be great. Maybe even Jason Voorhiess location pinpointed.? Add those things, and Ill give the ap five stars, but as it is... three is all Im giving this ap. Im using this ap on an iphone4 and its sluggish, and a bit clunky, Im sure on an ipad2 it would look better.

Frustrated when you look at your map and cant see the end of you current quest?!? This is a very basic map at best. A lot of the items are misplaced or are not even shown. Sooo much more could be achieved if only some TLC was put into it. Would love to see the shops and other handy info and locations displayed on the map as well as the ability to make your own markers/notes.

For a free app this would have been a let down. For $3 I am livid. For this price I expected at the very least the skull and altar locations and mission tracking. A full, pieced-together map so we can see the whole island would also be cool. I could care less if I find the things this app shows locations for. Add some of these suggestions and Ill up my stars.

This app is simple direct and to the point. The maps arent overly bogged down with crap. The locations are where the map says the items are located. Its a tool to utilize your ability to track facts, tapings and id cards. The official "theme song" plays in the background as you use it. The buttons are responsive. And each panel cascades open an reveals a check mark option that i wish other game "add-on" apps would utilize. An app lile this would have been fantastic for Assassins Creed : Brotherhood!! About the only real con and at a 3 dollar level, is the fact it can load slower at times. But seriously its such a miniscule issue its moot. And for the people who are requesting the map show skull locations, would be neat but a caveat to that is : would you want this mini-map guide to do everything for you?! Go play Banoi and enjoy it.

Next thing you need to make is a weapons guide

Complete waste of money. Seriously, this app is abysmal.

Disappointing. For 3 bucks there should be way more content. Looks polished but doesnt provide much information. Awesome game! Give us more!!!

Its a good map but gives no reference points. Only shows collectibles (NOT including skulls) For 3 bucks, its not worth the buy. Its too late for me but not for you!

Crashes first time I used it

Great app. love that I can keep track of all the collectables. needs to include the skulls though. Worth every penny

Great app ill change my rating to five stars if you add where the wepon boxes are and a quest help section
