Good but not great. This app seems to miss the purpose of what it is. First and foremost it is a map/guide, but even that interface is a bit weird to get used to. Map view defaults to all the way zoomed in which is almost never used. The app itself also drains my battery pretty decently and am stuck plugging my phone in after a few hours of usage. I’m also not a huge fan of the “shopping” aspect. You get booted out of the app and to a webpage to do shopping but where the items go I really don’t know. Would have been interesting if you look at the catalogue that sits on a stump or a table, depending on where your camp is located. And those items ordered would be delivered to the camp. Progress option does the same no to an external website. I hope this app will be utilized for the online game when the becomes available.

Great app overall. But has one annoying major drawback for me.. This annoying draw back is so majorly annoying I’m giving it a 1 star. Ok so you log into app with your Rockstar social club account. Easy to do. Then when you have the app open while playing. The little colored icon next to the cowboy outline in top right area changes color for gameplay connection status. from green: active connection Yellow: on standby. Then Red: not connected. Then while playing game. I get a notice on my TV. ‘Your Red Dead Redemptions 2 companion app has disconnected from your gameplay. While your actively playing. This is annoying. Then it gets worse. I go to the app on iPhone and make it reconnect to my gameplay. Over and over. Then to make it worse. I save my gameplay. Then the next time i play again on my Xbox. I load up the companion app. Then I let it fully boot up. And I’ll load up the game on my Xbox 1x and the app won’t connect to my gameplay again. Unless I restart a whole new game slot. And restart the story. Then the companion app will connect to my game. But then it won’t stay connected. And yes I’m using WIFI on my phone, an yes the signal is good and very strong. Other then that when this app does work. It’s very easy to navigate throughout the app. It just won’t connect and stay connected to my gameplay.

An Amazing feature!. First, wow who thought of this app it was truly a brilliant Idea that no other game that I know of has implemented yet. The only thing I can compare this to, is the Ubisoft games that I’ve played in the past. I remember a few Assassin Creed games where you could give orders to run a side mission in a mini game while you’re on the toilet at work. It gives you some extra in game cash if you’re dedicated and stuff. The RDR 2 companion lets you open sales book and purchase items, you can view your journal missions and even view in game progress without even pausing the game! When the game first launched I turned off the in game mini map and just used my iPad for the map! Single Player was a blast! Multiplayer is enhanced because you can see what’s going on past your field of view with the app. On days where they have the limited sales, in the clothing store, if you can’t get on your Xbox, you can just open the app and purchase clothes for online!

Great features but one complaint. I love the features this app has and that I can use this to see my map when I’m trying to go somewhere without a waypoint. I also like them at I can look through the journal if I’m bored and can’t play Xbox, and it’s just generally fun to use. The one thing I don’t like about the app is that it’s stuck in landscape view. I wish it was in landscape for the map but portrait when you’re in the main menu. That’s the only thing I wish they had because otherwise it’s really helpful.

Best in the West. Hands down one of the best at what it was designed for. I often wish that most game companies did this sort of thing, bc it does help. RDR2 is a gem, a real master piece and we all know this. Rockstar are truly an interesting group of people. Thank you for the game, thank you for this app. I never stop playing RDR2 bc of this app, I’ve recently started on my 2nd run. I miss Arthur and the gang, and I’m glad that the app has improved even more so. Once again thank you! Rockstars!

It’s okay. the app doesn’t really give you much toe rom with most of the things send you to your online browser if I wanted to I could just use my browser to use this service I expected a Loadouts option or maybe special gear you can receive for using the app maybe something about setting up your horse or something if you’re not home and about to hope on with friends to be ready. Give me more capability for online R star & not so much leaving the app. Other than that I can appreciate it for what it’s trying to almost be.

Excellent!!. This app is perfect! It makes it being able to look at everything you’ve completed in the compendium so much easier because it’s right in your hand it takes so much less time. Also being able to swipe through the journal and reading what Arthur writes without pulling up the the journal in the actual game is amazing!! The only addition that I would like to be added is a way to look at all he photos you’ve taken because it would make it much easier to delete photos you don’t like and post to the social club. 10/10 (add a photos section that would be amazing)

Please allow language selection. The app works really nicely, but it will not run if your console game is different from your phone’s language (this is stated on R*’s website as a requirement). Annoyingly, this means that if you have everything in-game in English, but your phone is in a different language (say, that you want things in their original language)... you absolutely cannot is this companion app. The fix is to switch the language on my phone every time I want to play RDR2, which messes with settings on the phone. I submitted a ticket and support did nothing but follow their script. Can we just get a setting: “App language”?

Great app needs a few fix’s. I like almost everything about the companion app but I wanted to make a complete immersive experience for people on my channel and when I have the app open it doesn’t show the amount of cash I earned from a job or what I loot unless I remember what I had before or valuables and I even think certain unique items you pick up and it doesn’t show it on my TV unless I turn on the option that shows what I picked up so I have to go in my satchel everytime I pick up anything. If some how you could improve it so on the companion app it shows what I pick up. I would be very grateful! Thanks in advance for all the hard work!

Not a companion app. More like a compilation of links.. For most companion apps, the information is contained within the app. The maps, tips, catalogs, and whatever else populate in the app when you select them. With this app, you are re-directed to a website that automatically opens in safari. Not a huge deal for most, but there is no point to having the app when you could just as easily google what you want and be directed that way. Map is great! Would love to see that be a little more developed. All in all, the app is essentially useless unless you are using it for the $10 guide. I would absolutely re-download once all the info is contained in the app rather than opening things in safari.

2022 Honest Review. Honestly Rockstar you gotta step your game up, the app literally doesn’t open at all from the time i downloaded it and i’m on the news iOS software , there’s no good working social club app for social , stat tracking , nothing for Red Dead Online which i may be wrong but i’m sure most everyone would rather have a “companion” app for Online instead one RDR2. PLEASE just make an updated social club app that either focuses on RDO or both the GTA AND RDR2/RDO Game series together . i play gta on steam on pc and can track my progress through steam but i bought Red Dead 2 through the rockstar games launcher and there’s literally no way to check my play time or any other stats from my phone much less my pc. idk i love all rockstar games but y’all lack in the application department for now in MY opinion alone .

Couple flaws. Like others have pointed out. I never received a reset password email from rockstar. Tried multiple times and checked junk mail. Nothing. I ended creating a new social club account. Bummer. Overall the app is pretty solid the landscape only option is super bad. Instead of making device specific ports of the game manual and strategy guide, rockstar merely uploaded a pdf or fixed size version of these documents. You can’t increase font size or rotate. The text is unbelievably small and just as you start to zoom into one of the game’s manual page, the reader turns you to the following or previous page. I honestly wouldn’t mind and can understand why rockstar has landscape only for features like the real time map. However the manuals should be allowed in any orientation. No excuses.

This app no longer works.... I got the south a few weeks ago, gave it a try, had trouble getting an account. When I finally got it to work, it worked for one day, and then it stopped working. I contacted Support, and Support put me through over an hour's worth of tests to figure out why it wasn’t working. Finally, they wanted me to change my DNS. I can’t do that because of the circumstances at home where I have to have a secure line. The support person couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just change the DNS. Needless to say, the app is now worthless. I have rebooted my cable modem, rebooted my Wi-Fi, rebooted my computer, rebooted my iPhone, rebooted my PlayStation 4, Nothing has cleared the problem. It’s unfortunate because this app was awesome in the one day that I had it. I could put it on a cinematic run and have my player run from point A to point B and watch it on the app. Leave me the app to freaking confusing to set up. Once set up, it’ll work for a short time and then stop. I don’t know if it’s the update from the PS4 or if the app was updated, but something happened to where it doesn’t work right now.

Un able to use map feature. App is ok i for some reason cant use the map feature it lets me use the other options but when i go to the map it says content to RDR2 when on the game and that my xbox is disconnected but ive tried every thing i can think of from uninstalling to unlinking the account and still has not allowed me to be able to use the map feature of the app which was the main reason i got it as the in game map only zooms in so far and i thought it would be nice to be able to have the map in hand so i could set my points easier but im at a lose on it

Please Fix Battery Bug. This app is exactly what I want in a companion app, and Rockstar definitely nailed it for sure. This rating would absolutely be 5 stars if it wasn’t for the current battery draining glitch impacting some users. I have an iPhone X and a USB-C to Lightning fast charger, which normally charges my phone from >5% to 100% in less than an hour. When I use the companion, not only does my phone become too hot to touch, it also drains battery at a rapid pace. I was at ~50% battery when I began using the app most recently, and after 45 minutes of use, my battery had dropped down to 7% (while on the fast charger!). Rockstar: I don’t leave reviews unless I really need to share critical feedback as a consumer for the greater good, but this needs a resolution, and a fast one. I don’t think using this app is a good idea until the issues are addressed. I would gladly change my rating to 5 once addressed, but until then, it’s back to using the in-game map every 2 minutes ☹️ Everyone else: Don’t let my review turn you off from the app, I honestly love it and would be using it every time I play, but it’s tearing up my battery and it’s unable to be touched when operational. Give it a try and see if it works fine for you, but if not, I would really give this another shot once it’s fixed. It’s worth it!!

Login Issues. This app will simply not let me log into my account for the Red Dead Redemption 2 Social Club. I try logging in with my Xbox account and it just reverts it back to where I began: Not being signed in. I've heard this app is very useful but as of now I have seen nothing to prove that. Edit: Found out it's most likely because my iPhone is on iOS 15.5 and this is only updated to iOS 14. Please fix this Rockstar and quit focusing so much on GTA. I get it, it's more popular than RDR2 and that's simply because of the more modern aspect of it. Still, there are players out there such as myself who like playing RDR2 and sometimes find things like this that y'all can't seem to get up and fix it. Yet somehow you have all the time in the world to spend years on all these new GTA games. I don't understand y'all. Another quick question for you guys and girls at Rockstar. How is it that GTA gets SIX GAMES (at the time I'm writing this review) and RDR only gets TWO?! How come?

Uh. I can’t get this app to work for the life of me. It won’t let me connect to my gamertag even though it is paired and says so. I created a new social club account to see if that one would work, it also does not. My buddy (with whom I share home Xbox’s) logged into my account just fine on his end. I’ve looked at my router settings, my gamertag settings, EVERYTHING in the help menu, and nothing has worked. Even reset my iPad network settings to no avail. I’m basically at a loss and just playing the game the way I did on 360, long pressing to bring the map up. I’m welcome to any suggestions on how to fix this. Help me figure out what to do and this rating goes up. This a great game, and a long awaited sequel!

Perfect holiday companion. I didn’t have to give up my RDR2 addiction while visiting family for Thanksgiving. It’s really nice to catch up on Arthur’s thoughts from his journal while laying in a hotel bed. I’m less inclined to read that stuff while I’m actually playing the game, but it’s really quite fun to read and reflect on some of the things I’ve done now that I’m away from it. I also have to say I think it is very cool that you can flip through the ordering magazine to get things you will receive when you log into the game. My only recommendation is that you stock up on money before you travel or likely you’ll be stuck with only 2$ to play with like me LOL. Lastly, it’s great to help brush upon mechanics. I’m even considering the strategy guide. Anyhow, just wanted to express my enjoyment of the app.

Good, just a couple things to improve. I really like this companion app. The real time map and ability to set waypoints is fantastic. Cool that you can access the catalogue and purchase things. Only problems I really have with it are that 1) it absolutely melts my battery and 2) the forced landscape mode is less than ideal. Beyond that I think it’s a great app. I do wish there was better stat tracking, but I think that’s an issue with the game and not offering the ridiculous amounts of stats that GTA and RDR have offered in the past.

Lackluster. Companion apps are made to enhance the playing experience, and immerse you farther into the story. The only thing I found useful on this app however is the map. And I’ve only opened the map a handful of times. The other information it displays while your not playing is inaccurate (as far as challenges and other statistics.) All of the links such as catalogue, and progress, simply hyperlink you to a webpage.... The webpages are sluggish, and hard to navigate on a mobile device. What’s the point on a companion app.... when all it does is redirect you OUT of the app? It would be better if it was all inclusive, and didn’t always need to be connected to the console for accurate information. Many other companion apps outshine this one by far. On a side note.....I don’t particularly enjoy having to make a separate account just to “use” it. Let us sign in through our console provider. It’s way more simplified. (Also it’s not compatible with my iPad?? I know it’s an older iPad, but still...?) Great idea! But I can’t see myself using it much :(

Mind Blowing.. I’m not going to make a full on 5 paragraph review like usual, but instead going to say how cool this app is. It gives you all the info on how your doing, and what’s going on but in one way that’ll change all gaming apps. Through a western style magazine/map/book/guide/everything! Still, Rockstar, you’ve made the most mind blowing, outstanding, most beautiful and exiting game I’ve ever played, but I still feel even the mobile apps took 8 years of work! you should still keep in touch with your mobile companions. PS. Have you seen Gavin anywhere?

I love the game rdr2!!!! ❤️. Rdr2 is the best. I love it and it is awesome. I have a question how do you get the war horse? Also are you Rock Star Games making a 3rd one?? My best friend also said that that was come the 3rd one... if there is then please tell me I would love that. Anyway I have seen all the horses but not the animals. What I hate about rdr2 is that Hosea Matthews and Arthur Morgan dies! Any way I love the graphics it is awesome. The first time I saw this was in a restaurant. And I was like to my dad. “Hey dad look it is a horse game.” And he said,”Yeah. It is called Red dead redemption 2.” Any way that is how I got in love with rdr2! I am get off. Bye 👋

95% works great...map doesn’t. The app is pretty cool. Nice to see the smart glass function still being used as it’s a awesome feature that has dwindled away slightly. I feel like a lot more games could use this feature but devs aren’t worried about investing into small extras like this. Only issue is I can get the map to pull sync with my Xbox. Can pull up everything else just the map doesn’t show and I always have the red status indicator even tho the other tabs work. Great app, great potential, don’t give up on it and try to fix the few small bugs here and there.

Serious recommendation:. I don't know anything about building apps but is there any way you could have some sorta "pause" feature so when we're not in immediate need of the app (mainly the map) we can hit a button and it will stop all usage of the app that is a battery drain? Like, for example, when i enter into a city, especially if i know it well - i'm not in need of the app and it's just sitting there draining my battery. Of course, i could close it out - but that's really annoying. Also, if this is possible, is there a way to do it without it having to basically reboot as if you closed it out completely and re-opened it? Or maybe opt OUT of certain aspects of the app that you aren't going to ever use - or at least not going to use in the immediate future; to further help with battery issues. Because i also check Facebook a lot when i play to talk with friends AND i stream via the MIXER app (both of them) so i've got a MAJOR drain on my battery as it is and this app (god - it's an AWESOME app a i really do mean that) is such a ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS drain on my battery. Which is only going to increase two fold when online comes out and i need my companion app to track other players constantly since there is no passive mode in online mode - unless you are at your camp with the white flag up. Anyway, other than that this app is phenomenal. 🤙

Pretty happy with the app, just a few minor complaints. I purchased the strategy guide for $9.99 and use it also as a companion app and I’m pretty happy with it as it is very easy to use and links seamlessly with my rockstar account while I play. This review is mostly about the strategy guid that I purchased which is completely optional to which as far as I know, the rest of the app is free. Pros: The app and the strategy guide was very well made and the layout with the table of contents tab is very useful and easy to use/navigate. It is also an official guide and is very comprehensive. Con(s): It can only be used in landscape mode and not support portrait so I find myself trying to rotate my device(s) to get it to move out of habit to no avail. Ill be back to update my review periodically if the need to arises. Would really give it 4.5 stars if I could because of that one issue.

Expected more. For $10, I expected more. Don’t get me wrong; the map on my phone synching with the game is nice and all, but much of the rest is more difficult to use. For example, I can barely read much of the print, even on an iPhone 8+. Yes, I can expand the page, but then the left and right edges of the paragraphs fall off the page. You should be able to push a side icon and get the text for a feature or description printed out on your phone in regular font (sort of like how you can “read” a letter in game). Also, the game guide is very, very lengthy (351 pages that look like they have been converted to a .pdf file with two pages on one screen). I would have expected either (1) the index to be linked to the appropriate place in the guide; or (2) the ability to select what page to jump to in the guide (less efficient but workable). I would also expect there to be a usable search feature for the guide. Disappointed in this offering.

Helpful. This app is the best companion app I’ve been for a game by far. The interactive map is a great feature and helpful to use if you don’t want to constantly be opening it in game. The best feature of the app IMO is the strategy guide for only 10 bucks (half the price of the physical version) you get the same content 300+ pgs of detailed helpful info! Only small issue is the app disconnecting from my game when it’s closed is a little annoying and sometimes(rarely) it glitches and freezes and locks my phone to the point i have to reboot my phone. If these issues were addressed this would be 100%!

Battery usage for the other. Ok so I’ve seen other reviews on this app saying it needs improvement in the battery usage part of the app but here’s the thing all you need to do is press the home button and open the app when you wanna use it because it disconnects when your not in the app the app can be, being used in the background but it won’t connect. And if your not a five or six your old you’ll just plug your phone in. And personally I started playing rockstars games like gta 5 when I was seven and finished it in less then a year so I think I know how there games work.

Gone downhill & Stopped pairing with game!. This app was originally quite good, but with the online updates and patches, my app no longer pairs with my game (PS4, don’t bother trying the PS5) I’ve changed nothing, same sign in and same console...but no pairing. It says I’m signed in, but it no longer detects my game! This means I cannot sync with the catalogue...so I cannot buy arrows because I supposedly don’t yet have a bow. You get a bow on the second mission...this is ridiculous. I’ve seen apps improve, but despite deleting and re-installing, this app is no longer a personalized connection to your game...it’s a 10 dollar guide and a non-functional catalogue. I’m SO mad, don’t even bother...

Misleading - iPhone X Incompatible. Just got finished chatting with Rockstar support after repeatedly not being able to connect my game to the app. I did everything right and triple checked it all. Their support team thought it was odd at first, then came back and told me my iPhone X wasn’t compatible with the app. They said the only reason the App Store lists the app as compatible with iPhone X is because the app will run on my device, just not connect to my game which is the entire point of the app. While I look forward to a compatibility update which Rockstar said was in the works but no release date in sight, for now I find this app grossly misleading. I agreed to terms and conditions when I downloaded the app and now they're telling me it doesn’t even work on my device. Why even list it if it’s completely useless? My guess is to lure more iPhone users into downloading and hopefully purchasing the game-guide, which is $9.99. Lazy. I’d be willing to re-rate the app once it works, and how long iPhone X users have to wait will impact that new rating as well.

Maps do not work even when doing exactly what is suggested. Part of the reason for downloading this is that it says it’s a companion app, yet it’s basically just another thing to take up space on the phone. The information shown online via the official page says you can do all this wonderful stuff such as set waypoints, pan and zoom the map on your phone yet it does none of this because it won’t even connect. I have no problem connecting and running my phone as a keyboard to type messages to friends and such via the second screen app from ps. So this just doesn’t make sense as to why it does not connect and work as specified.

Nice Addition. I rarely use companion apps for games as they seem pointless and don't really help much towards the actual game themselves. However I have found that this one is an acceptation. I turned off the hud in game so it makes it very immersive so much that while playing had several people look at the screen and ask what I was watching and mouths drop when I said I was playing a game. Having this app opened while playing helped a GREAT deal with that as I am able to view map, make way points, view all of my statuses and follow everything in realtime with ease flawlesslyand it feels like I am Arthur himself simple opening the map to view my surroundings, journal or what have you. I find this to be one of the top additions to game and really makes it stand out as the best and greatest game I've played in a long time. Plus it's 100% FREE. Rockstar did a top notch on this game and made it even better with this companion app. If you plan on playing this game this app is a recommended must to get way more out of it and it's experience.

Not thought through at all. First off I am not one to write reviews let alone negative ones but I this motivated me. Two major issues are as follows, you must have an online account for multiplayer games (at least with xbox) to use this app even though this is a single player game. I would have thought this would link to my Xbox via Bluetooth like other apps I use. I am not an online player. Second is the game guide which I Love to use and read again not well thought through as it is unreadable on my iPad. In this day and age of multipurpose readers available one would think they would have at minimum made it so you could read one page at a time or incorporated some form of page management that made it readable. I would Love to use this APP and would pay for it if it worked!

The Map is amazing....but the app lacks in other areas. Love the concept for this app, the map is so well done!! I definitely plan to use this app regularly while playing the game. I think where this app is struggling is in all the other sections. I absolutely can’t stand that the app takes you to safari Instead of the other features being native on the app! Like the map is. Also the fact that you have the ability to purchase that aren’t unlocked for you yet! Is very weird and I don’t like that part at all. The app has great bones and the map is AMAZING, you guys at rockstar just need to bring native support to all of the other features this app has to offer, which I would totally use as well, if it was native and didn’t take me to safari.

Like the full game, the app disappoints. Forced landscape, tiniest-of-the-tiny text that can’t be enlarged, and vampiricly efficient loss of battery while (trying to) use this. Perhaps Rockstar thought that much would be forgiven with this offering due to brand recognition and/or respect. But like the full game, it’s a trudge through molasses with a shiny veneer and lofty goals only half-heartedly implemented. Rockstar seems to be a company where the Hausers and Lazlow can not be challenged. How much feedback was either ignored or stifled? Feedback that could have improved this and the game? There’s too many people at TT for NO ONE to have seen the mess coming. But it seems they weren’t heard. Or maybe they know better than to speak up at all? I fear for GTA and what “brilliant” ideas that franchise has in dev by now. Hope they can get back to making good games, these “reinventing the wheel using squares” isn’t going to pay off in the long-term.

The best companion app I’ve ever used, but it could be better.. First things first, I can’t explain how awesome it is to remove the majority of your HUD in game and then use this app as your map. It’s really convenient and user friendly. A couple things, I believe they forgot to carry over colorblind mode from the base game, and this greatly hinders me and I’d like to have that as an a option for the app. Another thing is the digital strategy guide is available and I think that’s really neat, especially since it’s 1/4 the price of an actual copy, but I want the strategy guide to carry over the the actual map. Let me run around and view where things like cigarette cards, or dinosaur bones are on my map. I think it’d be way better than having to back out of the map and open the strategy guide and flip to the page. Overall I love this app, I just would like to see colorblind mode added and maybe the strategy guide spread out a little more.

Won’t connect to PS5. I know I’ve had my issues in the past with RockStar, but that has all been resolved. Kinda. I had an issue where my account was not displaying accurate information. NOW, when I go into the RDR2 Companion it’s says I’m linked to my old PS4. I read the troubleshooting info and still can’t figure it out. My theory is because it is still a PS4 game? Anyways. Could you fix this or explain to me what I’m doing wrong? Other than that, the app is great!

Needs fixing ASAP. I couldn't really tell you how good or not the app itself is because after the setup period I put the phone down for about 5-10 minutes to walk the dog and came back and picked it up and it was so hot I thought there was a short or something in the cord but no I used a IR thermometer and it said 118 degrees. The IR thermometer I used is a cheapo unit admittedly but still this is not something I'd expect from a tier 1 company like Rockstar or any contractors it uses. I powered the phone down and put a small fan on to help coo it and tried it one more time to verify and it did it again so it's been deleted until it's fixed. The premise of what the app offers got me interested but until it fixes this safety issue ( and it IS a safety issue..what if it was carried in a pocket or purse with a lighter in it and the app was left on or was accidentally turned on and the heat generated could potentially set off the lighter) so let's get it fixed Rockstar!

Great for single player. Wish it was better for online. Everything is very useful, however I wish there was more online use other than map and catalogue. I would love to be able to follow my RDO character progress from my companion app (unless I’m missing something.) and to be able to check my awards and stats. I also would like to be able to preview my own character in the wardrobe selections. I know that’s a long shot since a catalogue in real life is usually a model wearing the clothes as it is now. But it would be really great if I were to be able to preview my current character outfit and change wardrobe options mobily. Maybe something similar to the Destiny app in 3D. Also I gave a 4 rating, however would really give it more of a 3.7 due to the fact that I just tried to make purchases for online and was given an error. Like I said. Great for SP, needs some TLC for online.

A Perfect Guide. I was skeptical about the app when I first saw it, but I really like it. It’s easy to set up a new way point on the fly, track where you are compared to your destination, and while in cinematic mode going to my destination I love reading new journal entries I’ve acquired along the way. My only, very very minor, gripe is the battery consumption. It drains it very quickly but I typically have my phone plugged in while playing so it’s not a big deal. A definite download if you’re planning multiple play through like I am.

Convenient yet not.... The map is great, and as others have said, it’s convenient that you get to look at the catalog on the app and plan on what you need to save up for. However, almost every single thing you click on takes you out of the app and into safari. It just feels kinda clunky being taken into safari for every little thing because your view is limited (it kicks you in landscape mode). It would just be much more convenient if you could do everything in-app.

-RockstarGamesGuy. This is exactly what a companion app should be! Not only does it connect instantly to your console but it lets you alter the way point, I’ve used the cinematic mode to automatically go to my next destination but used the app to change which way I’m going without having to even touch my controller which is so helpful, I already own the collectors box that has the replica store catalog and the collectors edition guide book so I do not have to use those features, my only wish is that social club and everything else would stay in the app and not take you to safari, iFruit use to be this way but it was changed to the same way.

Issues with photos on Social Club.. Hi, I purchased and played RDR2 and have loved it so far, using the camera to take photos of the beautiful landscape, once I learned of the app I happily downloaded it, hoping I could save my photos from the Social Club. When I logged in, an alert told me I was not allowed to even view the photos since they were from RDR2, saying I was too young to even VIEW the photos I had taken myself (4 of them were from the Gunslinger mission), which as I said before, are mostly landscape and nature. I hope Rockstar removes the restriction on photos. Other than that, the app works great. If it weren’t for the age restriction I would rate it 5 stars.

Really neat, sometimes fails to find console. Really neat idea and enhances the game somewhat. I usually keep the map up while I play and use it to navigate and decide where to go next. The app is high quality and stable. However, it sometimes takes a long time, like 10 minutes or more, to identify that I have an active session running. I have to keep hitting refresh occasionally and eventually my console shows up. I don’t change what I’m doing to trigger this, I’m just playing the game and it randomly decides to start working. Still, overall the app is excellent.

Don’t buy Red Dead Redemption 2. The game has wonderful graphics, but that’s about it. The mechanics don’t work very well and a lot of people have trouble being inside a Red Dead Online session. I believe the only way Rockstar becomes less incompetent and greedy is to send them a message. Rockstar created a online game that you pay 60 dollars that you might be able to play online with no friend only sessions, so it’s incredibly hard to work for xp without being killed by trolls. I suggest that they put satisfaction for their players at top priority instead of money. This is most likely the reason they created a store before I can play Red Dead Online with my friends for more than a couple seconds.

Perfect for story mode but no map online. UPDATE: Disabling the map has essentially made this almost USELESS! If you are still on iOS 12 or 13, DO NOT update to 14 if you want this to work . This companion app is great if you do story mode. Be sure to link your account properly or you’ll have repeat login issues. If the map feature were allowed again in online mode this app would be 100% perfect for console users but this single feature having been removed makes this app ENTIRELY USELESS for online use. So don’t bother with this app unless you do story mode. This single lack of feature forces me to rate 2 stars. PC users have no chance of using this yet which is pretty bad after several months since the PC rollout.

Nice companion app to RDR2, could have more to interact with.. This is app, for what it is trying to do, succeeds in all aspects. It’s informative, user friendly, and makes playing the game overall a better experience. The problem is I only find myself using it in rare cases. The main problem for me is that all of the information is already in the game in the menu screen. I would give this app a 5/5 if it maybe gave some lore or mini-games to play. Would also like if you could link up the in game mail system to the app.

Great, but the guide needs index. The map is awesome, and purchasing items is cool. The main glaring problem is the guide makes you have to navigate page by page to find anything. This is completely unacceptable and I’m surprised nobody thought about this. Considering it costs 9.99 for the guide, this is very substandard and not what I would usually expect from Rockstar. People should be able to at the very least, click the chapter names on the right to go to that section and probably even enter a page number to jump there. Fix this immediately! I recommend that people wait until fixed before they pay for the guide.

Best companion app for console games I’ve used, but needs locale support. It’s been an fantastic experience with this app. I can pin point any point on the map and the game sync instantly to show me route guidance on the minimap. However this app really needs locale support. I’m running the game on different language than my iPad does. The app won’t show me the map unless I change my iPad system language to match with the game language. It’s quite frustrating since I don’t want to change the iPad language every time I start playing and change it back afterwards. The app needs to have a setting where it allows users to change the app language. It’s a really great app overall but just needs this small but useful improvement

Don’t bother. This app doesn’t actually help you all that much in game, and of course the only useful thing on the app is the strategy guide, blocked behind yet another of Rockstars infamous paywalls. RDR2 is a Genuinely good game which is why its so tragic when Rockstar can’t keep it together long enough to put out an actually useful phone app, just like the dinosaur from GTA V. It’s even more sad that they very clearly only care about making money on the online versions of their games, and that they don’t even bother releasing games anymore. It’s sad to see how the mighty have fallen. Remember when they could pump out more than one game every 5 years? Those were the days.

No map for online?. i used this app when it first came out, using it online was seriously so useful and saved so much time. I don’t know why it was removed. If people complained it adds an unfair advantage, fine, even though they’re perfectly capable of using it themselves...make it so you can only see posse members on the app. Please consider adding that feature back, can’t rate the app highly until you do, Cheers.

Do recommend 💯. Get please

Compendium issues. I like the set up of the app and the features. The only problem I have is that my compendium in the game is different to the app. For example in game I have 44 weapons on the app I have 25. That goes for all compendium groups.

Very useful. This app was very helpful when new guns were getting released on online so I could start saving up for them. Thanks to rockstar for this amazing app.

What’s the point. The app is pretty redundant because it just opens up my browser half the time, and everything else the app does can be done on the app can be done on the game itself. I can’t use the map because it won’t connect to the game either.

Idea. I want to be able to use cheats by tapping on them from the companion instead of having to go to the cheat menu

RDR2 IS THE BEST. I Have Been Playing Game Since The Demo And I Love It I Sadly Cried When Arthur Died 😞😞😞😞 But John Is Cool Recomend You Do All Side Mission And Do Dino Sour Bones

This app has has its most important function removed. The map function has been removed from online. Yes, you read that correctly. The only function that makes this app worth having, is now gone. There is absolutely no decent reason to download this anymore. Don’t waste your time.

Rockstar does it again 👍🏻😎👍🏻. Really good app!!! Strongly recommend this for all RDR2 players. Many useful elements to help gameplay and the fact that it has a live interactive map is really cool. Great job Rockstar!!! Keep up the great work.

Useful but add little mini games for fun...just coz you can. Read title

Screenshot share. Handy app for making sure ammo is topped up etc. would be good to be linked to in game screenshots and photos taken with the in game camera for easy sharing to social media apps

Very Helpful. It Is a very helpful app letting you see your progress and many more with no bugs

Not suprising. Cant sign in, dont remember password, cant change password coz rockstar wont send me the email to do so even afyer half a dozen times, wont contact rockstar support because its the worst in the gaming industry.. took almost 18 months to get a max payne 3 collectors edition issue sorted back in the day.. lets be honest i prob should have assumed al this before downloading

Useless for PC players. Best feature (map) is not supported for PC players. Offers nothing that you couldn’t get having a browser open and logged into your social club account.

Epic game. Can you change the age limit four your games 👍👍👍

Map removed from online. I thought it was fantastic until they took the map access away from online mode. Now it is useless after you finish the story mode.

Connection problem from day 1. Everything on this app works except connecting to the actual map.

Good. Good app until iOS 14 now the app crashes on launch every time.

Amazing like everything Rockstar do!!. It’s a great app, interacting with the map from the phone to the live game is easy and convenient!!

great idea but need improvement. I found the words too small to read on a phone

Sign in issues. I can’t sign into my social club account because it’s been so long since I’ve used it. I have been using my linked accounts to sign in to my social but I can’t do that on this app, can this please be fixed as soon as possible please

Useful but inconvenient for user. The content and tools the app offers are great, but it’s extremely annoying that every time I click on something it has to open up a whole web page to take you to that desired information, what’s the point in having an app if it just takes you to a webpage anyway? Might as well just use the internet browser. Everything should stay on the app within the app. Take a page out of bungie’s Destiny companion app.

Doesn’t like all the stats to my ps save. I like it, I just wish it would update inline with my game for challenges completed. The live game map tracker is good and useful if you can put your screen somewhere (time to get a controller attachment). Please fix the challenge system!!!

Huge battery drain and overheats phone. This app is really useful with the game, and the features are great, but the battery drain and overheating issue is significant. Hope that is fixed soon Rockstar.

Really Good!. This is such an amazing idea, though the fact you are redirected to a webpage is a little annoying. Other than that it is a great way to get pictures from rdr2 onto your phone, restock supplies, buy outfits/guns/etc, view diary entries and look at a basic manual. Highly recommend. One other small problem is that you can’t access the map without a live game, which in my opinion makes little sense; it would be nice to be able to add markers when you aren’t in the game (For example when you see something on a video or something that you want to mark for later.

Speechless. This is a fun app that interacts with the console instantly Eg:markers and it isn't just an overlook it actually can change your game play. I have no negative words for it. It's amazing

Awesome idea, but can’t use on iPad OS 14. I’d love to use this app while playing RDR2, but since it hasn’t been updated to work with iOS 14, I can’t. I hope a patch is on the way!

Very handy. Love how you can zoom in and out of map on the iPad and not having to do it Ingame, makes life on the range so much easier for me anyway, also with the zoom function easier to see what direction the bounty hunters are coming from. Happy at this stage.

Hmmm. You should make it that you can just play it without ps4 and x box. Just as a mobile game it WOULD BE WAY BETTERR!!!!!

A good review. Very good I love red dead redemption 2. And this just helps me lots. I have been playing it since it came out and I have even 87% completed the hole game and 92% the first game. I just think it is awesome.

Amazing best game in the world. I haven’t played it yet but I know it is good I am really stuck though because I don’t know how to create my profile and it is not letting me do anything but keep at the menu place pls I anyone sees this pls help me I really want to play this game😀😃😄😁😆

Cannot restore purchase of the guide book. I purchased the guide book on my smartphone app but it was way to small to look at the guide book conveniently. I then downloaded the app on my iPad and logged into my social account into the app and tried to restore purchase, but it keeps failing. $15 bucks wasted

Woah.. This app actually works a charm with iPad 6 on iOS 12. Wish GTA V had been like this. Can’t wait to see if more gets worked on in the future.

Crashes since latest iPhone and iPad updates. This app was great and worked 100% fine until I installed the iOS 14 updates on my devices. Now it crashes as soon as I try to open the app. Please update to work with the new iOS updates.

Great Accessory. This app WAS a great way to have your map open to watch for hostile players while you play the game. Now since the upgrade it doesn’t work online only in single player. What a shame. Ruined a great app.

Awesome immersive experience. While playing u could use map and mission tracking without having to continuously press pause is great!

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!!. After 8 years here we are! This companion app is such a great idea and allows you to multitask during the game! You’ve done it once again rockstar!!

External linking?? Really... App should just be called interactive map for rdr2, which works great. but every other option takes you to a webpage. I thought this caliber of video game deserves something better surely.

Pretty darn good but..... It’s a really convenient app to have. It tells you everything about the game, from combat to Arthur’s well-bienging. But rockstar needs to consider it being fully functional offline. Because without internet it signs you out of you social club account, making it unable to use it properly. But other than that, BRILLIANT!

Brilliant. The app is brilliant. Works well in conjunction with reddit tips etc. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is it drains the battery very quickly on iPad and iPhone. Can be frustrating sometimes. Otherwise it’s brilliant.

PC Comparability!. When will this app be updated to be used together with PC version of the game? Would be great to have a Map available when you play online on PC

Played the game on Xbox. I love the game so much my fav game ever I got three horses but can you add the black horse I think is called a black butiy

Download Now!. Really helpful I can buy things for my character on my phone with money from my game without travelling to stores and the mini map helps a lot.

I can't connect. I can't connect to my ps4 when I'm on single player I deleted it and downloaded it and I still can connect when I first got it worked fine but now it just doesn't work anymore

Poor device support. Text is too small on iPhone 6+ I want to use it on an iPad 2 but it is not supported for some reason even though it supposedly supports iOS 9 or greater. I try on my other tablet which is a competitor OS which is supposed to be supported (6.0+) but does available on that device either I’d be happy enough to just access it through a web browser instead.

Ok not $15 worth. It’s ok bit disappointing they want $15 for a walk through guide that just directs you to a web page like they don’t make enough of us already not happy

I love this app!. This is amazing now I can see what is on the catalogue just from my iPad!

Connectivity issues. Not a bad app but not the greatest, the live map and store feature is cool, but it seems to have issues with updating achievements

Ugh. One would imagine connecting a smart phone and an Xbox would be as easy as signing in to the same accounts on both, (as instructed) and all would be well. Unfortunately not so. By this point we should be using our phones as a second screen for all sorts of cool stuff. Pull ‘yer finger out buds!

Amazing but does not work on new IOS. Amazing app that lets you access the game map and journal and also has a really helpful guide too that you can buy (If you really enjoy the game and have the money you won’t regret buying the guide) However the app does not work with the new IOS which is really disappointing

A very good experience. This app is very good for what it says it does it displays real time map and has in game journal and has a guide if you expect it to do that then you’ll be very happy if you expect more you might be disappointed.

Only needed for map, but you disabled it. The map is the only feature I really wanted this app for. Why did you disable it? Please enable the map feature again!

Verry bad. I can’t connect my ps4 account

Quick Question. Can I hook this up to my PC Red Dead account

Bro this is nice. This is a good app for getting around stuff faster

Good. Well I forgot my password so I can’t do it but it’s really good

No PC compatibility. It’s a big miss that this app doesn’t work with PC gaming platforms. Why should we need more than a Social Club account? Blasphemy. Cannot appropriately rate app as it is non-functional for a PC gamer like myself.

I like the idea. But it crashes i On opening ios 11

Won’t sign in. I was able sign in on the website so I know my sign in is correct. It just keeps bringing me back to the sign in page and won’t budge... I’ve pretty much given up.

Crashes. Crashes on opening 🤷🏾‍♂️

Please, connect to RDR2 single player. I downloaded the app to use the map in my iPad. Result is that my PS4 is paired but it does not find my game so I can’t use the map. No support for this problem was provided.

Stopped working. Summer 2020 this app was awesome. In replaying RDR2 I redownloaded this app (spring 2021) and the map doesn’t work. Which is the main reason I want to use this app right now. Have tried tons of troubleshooting, will have to give up and delete.

Something is not right. So this app worked perfect when it first came out, fast forward 2 years and it doesn’t work now for my series x Or my Xbox one so rockstar, help me please fix this bug

Ish.. Just found out about this app. It connected to my account. However I can’t use the map feature. I try to reconnect it and it doesn’t work. I’m logged into game and everything. Sucks. Cause this woulda been awesome if it worked.

1234_$. Ok

App would be great if it didn’t kill your battery!. Great app but kills your battery and burns up your iPhone.

No longer pairs. It worked the first time it paired but now when I try to use it it just stays on disconnected an I press connect an gives me nothing I’m online on my Xbox am logged in my social club but still no success so it’s a pretty useless app now.

App is useless. It’s essentially buttons to webpages, otherwise it serves no purpose. Rockstar has disabled the map both for Singleplayer and Multiplayer. It will indefinitely search for a session instead and not tell you but it was in update notes over a year back.

Good but I want to see my pics. I can’t see my pictures in the social club because “based off the information you’ve given us, we can’t let you see this content” I know I’m 13 but I’m playing your game so let me see the pictures I took of your game smh

App would be great if it would actually work. It won’t let me play like I keep having to sign in and I want to play but I t keeps making me sign in

Bruh. My brother plays this on pc and I wanted to try it out on mobile, I made an account and all that but there’s no play button. There is no way for me to play the game.

Gangstar IV. Ne recomander pas aux ennemis de la sqpvm et roussilion

Zlsbdk. Gandalf’s dlldldp’f

Only reason this was good was for the map pairing, offline and especially online.... I uninstalled it way back when that feature was removed. Cloud gaming or heck even remote play may have been the reason they nerfed this program as hard as they did.

App does not work on iOS 14. If you’ve upgraded to iOS 14, don’t bother downloading. It crashes immediately on startup. So disappointing. Please fix this.

Can’t sign in.. App tells me to sign in. I tap to sign in. Then says sign in failed. No option to enter my password or username. Whoever designed this app needs to be fired.

ROCKSTAR ADD IOS 15 SUPPORT RIGHT NOW. well you read the title. add iOS 15 support now, I neeeed the app please please please add iOS 15 support

Useless crap. Crashes on boot, IPhone XS iOS 14. Never opens.

Sucks. This app made me jump through hoops and change my passwords just so it wouldn’t work in the end, 0 out of 5

Crashes upon start up. The app doesn’t work. It just crashes upon start up.

Okay. Okay

Mainly useless. I used to think this app was pretty good until it kept crashing constantly and at times never letting me open it. With the latest update it says they disabled the map indefinitely, regardless that the map was almost its top (and most fun and useful) feature, so i’m pretty bummed out about that. Might be free but not worth the space and battery it robs you of.

Map on pc is not supported.. Fallout 4 app worked just fine with pc, whereas this app does not support the map on pc. I’m not devastated, but as far as the app goes, it’s basically pointless without this feature.

No good for pc. Make it compatible with pc, you made it for gta so...

Make it compatible for PC. Love the game and the app but please for the love of god make it compatible for pc.

Doesn’t work. No longer loads map

Why no PC?. Love the app, but why no PC support? Please prioritize this and I will give you 5 *****… thanks

Don’t download. Doesn’t work anymore

This is useless without the map. Bring the map back. You’ve committed app-suicide by getting rid of that feature.

Does not work for pc. Sad

Keeps crashing. Everytime I try to open app it crashes

The map display was the best part of this app.. I used to love having the larger map displayed on my iPad screen while I was playing the game on my Xbox. I have hardly played RDR2 since that feature was removed.

Map Does Not Work. “Connect to RDR2”. I’ve tried unlinking accounts, emails, everything. It say my Xbox is connected but won’t let me use the Map. Any idea why?

Symon Kross. Great app.

Needs To Be Updated. This app no longer works with iOS 14.0.1

Map indefinitely suspended. That’s literally the only reason why people download this app why is it indefinitely suspended?

Garbage and complete waste of time!!!. You can literally use rockstar social club instead of this app. They are exactly the same thing. Don’t download

Live Map Disabled. The live map was the apps only useful feature, as the catalogue is simply a gimmick. Very disappointed that it’s been disabled indefinitely without explanation.

Features Taken. Haven’t used this app in forever and started playing the game again. They got rid of the map and the social feed feature doesn’t do anything. Looks like a button but doesn’t press. Those are the only 2 things I used. I’d give this a -5 if I could

Only Useful Feature gone. Got rid of map support which was the only good feature of the app. Can’t even use it in single player anymore

Easy allies. Red dead redemption 2 tests the boundaries of interactive immersion. Few games look this good, play this well, and have this much to offer. It begs you to slow down, turn every page of it's dramatic tale, and savor every last breathtaking detail. It challenges you to be prepare for anything, and make the right decisions when your choices matter most.

Companion app not working. When I first purchased this game the companion app was working fine for the last few weeks the map on my companion app is not working I have it on the same Wi-Fi on my tablet and my PlayStation both signed into my social club account at one point in time the map was working but it isn’t anymore can anyone help?

Can’t sign in. When i sign in to the app for first time to my ps account or social club it keeps showing the sign in logo and if i skip and want to sign in , in app same thing happens please fix it. Even with the problem ,still 5 star cause I know you are the best. Rockstar you are always the best and no game company is better then you . Peace

Great app with some annoying quirks. Great app! The features that are included in the app are top notch! Only annoyance I have is that quite a few of the features open new tabs in my browser to bring me to the website rather than having the feature actually imbedded into the app itself. Very frustrating to have so many open tabs because the features are just links to the website rather than actual features. Otherwise, fantastic!

Fix this please. So I downloaded this app last year and then I got a new phone and I had to re-download it I tried signing into my rockstar account via my PlayStation and the map is not working for me please fix this I would like to use this map

Sign in options. I don’t wanna dock this app any stars, because I’m being fair in that I haven’t used it yet. And the reason why is because it doesn’t give the option to log in with my Xbox account, which I have been doing for years now. Can you guys please add that option in, so we don’t have to create a separate account?

Official App. This is the OFFICIAL APP. Don’t install that click bait add packed app others have. Great expanded map on your phone or iPad. Never get jumped by bounty hunters again with this great visibility, it’s basically a birds eye view. Can pick up and buy any item on the fly. But must return to your bed to receive. Comparing to other companion apps this the best I’ve used so far. Now go work on that platinum.

Great But Flawed. This app is a great addition to an outstanding game. My issue with it is the guide you can purchase. For the life of me I can’t understand why I cannot change the orientation of the guide. It’s default view is a double page view with a decent zoom, but it has no options to adjust the view outside of zoom. I would love to change the orientation for single page view can we get a patch for this please.

Will change to 5 stars if.... ...a page jump feature is added to the strategy guide. I use the index for a lot of stuff and it’s a pain in the nuts to try to find specific pages. Please add a feature where we can either click the page number or jump to a specific page number. Otherwise, this is an awesome and extremely useful app.

Rock Star Hit this out of the park!. I am very impressed with how well this app syncs with your game play. I love being able to see more of the map than you can in the normal pay mode. Especially when you are fighting enemies. Only suggestion I can think of is find ways to make it battery friendly, maybe have setting on when to shut down and when to pick back up. Otherwise, I’m enjoying this app!

No functioning. I’ve tried about everything. Maybe it’s my device? Fairly old. It will not sign in no matter what. I tried multiple ways around it and nothing works. The app will start fine but all the things that are actually needed to make the app what it is requires you to sign in. From what I can see I’m sure if you sign in it’s useful but without a social club account you won’t need this. Give it a try though it might work for you.

Was working amazingly, just stopped recognizing my live games. I really need a fix, I love this app. Tried a billion trouble shooting methods, but the app, although paired to my xbox, can’t find live games anymore. Everything is connected to the same network, I’ve tried unlinking and delinking my social club account. Can’t find the issue, it doesn’t seem to be on my end.

Has an amazing use that’s easy to overlook. One thing I didn’t notice right away is the fact you can buy provisions and other goods through the app like an online store. Choose catalogue and you can make purchases from there which helps massively Much more user friendly than the GTA companion. Actually helps gameplay rather than just appearing to be a gimmick.

Best companion by far. I’m a fan of companion apps- or at least the concept of them. This is the first execution of a companion I have used that feels like a quality extension. The depth of use integrated in real-time into the map is particularly helpful. Would like to see some additional functionality- integrating the satchel, opening up interesting data and information (let’s say about an animal or weapon). Laundry list. Idk, maybe in next gen consoles

Online profile. I love this app it’s amazing it story mode and the map it great online. The only thing I wish we could see is our online profile like the in game story mode progress. I want to see my cards and online story mode progress. I play more online then story mode so I wanna see those stats. Otherwise this is amazing!

Uh. I can’t get this app to work for the life of me. It won’t let me connect to my gamertag even though it is paired and says so. I created a new social club account to see if that one would work, it also does not. My buddy (with whom I share home Xbox’s) logged into my account just fine on his end. I’ve looked at my router settings, my gamertag settings, EVERYTHING in the help menu, and nothing has worked. Even reset my iPad network settings to no avail. I’m basically at a loss and just playing the game the way I did on 360, long pressing to bring the map up. I’m welcome to any suggestions on how to fix this. Help me figure out what to do and this rating goes up. This a great game, and a long awaited sequel!

Very clunky. First of all the main menu is in landscape mode but all the settings force you into portrait mode so you are constantly changing the orientation of your phone to use the app. Just give both options for the main menu. It’s cool that you can connect to your game on your phone but the app makes it kind of pointless. All the options just open up the internet browser. What’s the point of an app? It might as well be a website. It’s clear this app was a second thought. Does very little to enhance the experience of the game.

Good concept, needs update. It worked perfectly the first time I launched it. Now no matter what I do in game or on my phone, it will not allow me to use the map. Only pops up as “!Please connect to RDR2”. You can imagine how frustrating that is when I’m looking at Arthur’s bitter face as him and I both try to figure out what this broken app is trying to get at. If/when it updates and fixes, I’m 100% gonna use it all the time.

Can’t play without it!. It’s a really good companion. I use it as my map when I play on either the steam deck, lap top or desktop. I use it to buy supplies, provisions and ammunition when I’m not even playing. I bought and downloaded the strategy guide which is in great detail and full of lore for a very cheap price. I recommend it to everyone starting or a veteran of RDR! 5/5 great investment

I really enjoy the app, but.... There are a few things I would like to be added to the app. If you can add a feature where we (the gamers) can customize our weapons and gear through the app, and add a feature where we can change Arthur Morgan's clothes, and add a barber shop button on the home screen so we can have his hair styled whenever and wherever we want. If you can add these features to the app, I will surely give you a 5 start rating, and change my review.

Map is great; the rest, flawed. The real-time map is excellent and allows for greater in-game immersion. However, i wish I had read other reviews before springing for the game guide; it’s forced landscape-only, 2 pages at a time, not optimized for the X/XS, has terribly tiny print, and if you try to zoom/scroll around to read, it flips the pages back and forth. The worst $9.99 I’ve ever spent and I wish I could get my money back. Use it for the map only, as the game guide is unusable and the rest of the app just links you to web pages :/

Great app but.... I love this app mostly for the map but after the last game update on Aug 24, 2020 the map no longer connects. The rest still updates with the game but not the map. The catalog is great for buying things without having to go to a store and the other features are nice but the map is the best feature. Edit: I see at the top of this app page that the map has been disabled indefinitely. Sounds about right since R* no longer cares about about single player. Either that or they aren’t smart enough to fix it after they broke it.

Why tho. This was my favorite app for the map aspect made it easier in story so why does the map no longer work I hoping they bring it back no other game has an app like this not only that I only play rdr2 I mean yes I really enjoy the rest of the features of this app but I downloaded for the app even bought the strategy guide I will leave it at a 5 star rating I will always be a rockstar fan so I’m hoping this map will work again

Fantastic app. I go this app because I felt like it I don’t feel that it would be good but I thought it would be useful. I just went through the app looking at the features and it seemed kinda basic with the 10 dollar strategy guide. Then I found he catalogue and I bought a gun that was locked in the game now I have the best pistol.

It needs a lots of improvements. Great app but it has some problems like we have to go to the site for journals or to see progress in game. Can’t eat or use items using the map. Look at Fallout 4 companion app it’s amazing you can do anything using the app. We have to be online to use the app. Can’t mark or add anything while we’re offline or not playing the game.

Nonsense. The font size in journal is insanely small, i have an iPhone XS Max with a large screen and still it's hard to read. But there is an empty space around the journal and that popup block with text. Why wouldn't you do it bigger then? Half of the features just open the safari, what the point of making an app then? I have to switch the phone screen orientation back and forth because this "app" is only running in horizontal mode (why on earth?) I have Russian language in game, play station and the Social Club settings but not in this app and it seems it has no way to switch the language.

App won’t open. So with the iOS 14 update I haven’t been able to open the app at all. Well it’ll open for a split second then it’ll close the app. I don’t if this has to do with the new iOS update or if I need to do something different. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app but the same problem happened, before the update I was able to open the app but I wasn’t able to connect to my PS4 via Social club

App won’t open or delete!. I downloaded this stupid app and it would never open , it just made my screen flip over. Now I try to delete it and it shows deleted but when I try to go re download it it says “open” not download, the icon disappears until I go to open it from the app store. The icon comes back on my screen and the icon is messed up and it does nothing.(this happens after I deleted the app). I’ve rebooted several times to no avail. It won’t let me download it or open it. I’ll adjust my rating if the app ever works/downloads.

Pretty good up until role update. The app is extremely useful in multiplayer because you can use the app as a second mini map that you can zoom in and out of and set waypoints without having to do it in game, but for whatever reason with the update that came out today you can apparently only use the map in single player now. I’ve tried uninstalling and redone loading the app three times hoping it was a glitch but apparently not. It’s pretty much useless now

What A Waste Now - Used to Be Helpful. Since Red Dead Online was released, pretty much everyone has used this app for the map as it was an incredibly useful tool for online gameplay. Rockstar has said time and time again, they have no intentions of releasing any additional DLC for Story Mode as their primary focus is online. So why is it when the “Summer” update came out in September the map in the app was now only available for Story Mode but not online? I’ve deleted the app from my iPad because at this point it literally serves me no useful purpose. Beyond disappointed. I’d honestly give no stars if I was allowed to.

What happen to my app. Soooooo what the H E double hockey stick did you tech yeahoos do to my app. Can’t login can’t use the map on online mode anymore. Stop making updates to fix things that don’t have a problem never ever ever had an issue with this app till y’all started updating it. It used to be the most used app on my iPad now it’s never used I’m about to delete this useless crap now. Used to be very useful it’s no longer is. WWWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY CANT I USE THE MAP IN ONLINE. IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO USE AND NAVIGATE THAN WAISTING TIME TO STOP PAUSE THE MENU GO THROUGH THE MENU SELECT THEN YOU GET TO THE MAP. WHEN YOU USE THE MAP ON THE APP ITS THERE IT READY AND YOU CAN MULTITASK WHILE YOUR RIDING. RETURN MY MAP NOW.

Mini Games for Camp. The app is pretty useless right now. It would be cool if you guys add in some sort of mini games to help fill the needs of the camp and find money, then when players are away from home they can play on the app and get back to a camp that is satisfied and has a few more bucks. Kinda like how chop wouldn’t crap when you took care of him on the GTAV app. Maybe there can even be occasional consequences like if you send people out to get money they get caught and when you come back to the game on console you have to go save that character. Or maybe even some sort of game to care for your horse.

Crashes every time I open. Every time I go to open the app it just crashes immediately. I’ve deleted and redownloaded countless times but still no change in outcome. Please address this as soon as you can cause the app I feel would make a great additional service for my convenience whilst roaming the Great Plains.

Doesn’t work. App connects to Social Club, but to access the map requires a popup prompt to connect to my Xbox. I don’t understand why it doesn’t just connect everything when I sign in to Social Club in the beginning upon setup. Every time I hit connect, it logs me out of Social Club and renders the app completely useless meaning that in order to use any of the features, it requires me to log back into Social Club. This is ridiculous. I’ve already uninstalled it from the aggravation. Xbox is wired to router Phone is connected to WiFi iPhone 7 Tried to contact support but it won’t let me log into Social club using my Xbox account (It has an email address to one of my other Xbox accounts already up, waiting on me to enter the password, and upon selecting/opting to log with a different Microsoft account, nothing happens and the page just loops back to square one) on their website to contact them. Rockstar’s system is so horribly set up; I have had problems with them before. Don’t waste your time.

Great App But.... Love the concept of the app and I've been using it a lot but recently the map stopped working. It says *please connect to RDR2* on the map tab, the problem is, I am connected. When I click on my profile tab in the top right it says *refreshing data* and I can see my gamertag. Ive tried restarting my phone and Xbox. Hopefully this will be fixed soon through an update.

Red Dead Redemption II Companion App. Just like the game the companion application is highly detailed and it works to supplement your gameplay experience. It can be used to view the games instruction manual, a complete digital manual, the in game journal of your main player as well as aid users in their gameplay by displaying in game details such as locations, jobs and stats. The design of the app itself is highly regarded with smooth navigation and comprehensive information but not to the point where it feels cluttered.

This is a must have addition. I love where they’re going with this companion app thing. I find myself using it when I’m away from the game. The only feature I wish they could adopt is, hyperlinking the text in the strategy guide so that you can jump to referring sections or allow exporting to a pdf program for searching. Hell, just add a search feature to the manuals section. That would be great. Otherwise, great app!

Great idea. This is exactly what I was looking for and a great idea too. I use this app while playing and I’m available to make way points, see the map and follow everything. This could be one of the top apps for people who want to have other views and possibilities during the game. Also the graphics and the concept of this app are just great.

Needs work. This is a great companion to a freakin’ AMAZING game! But, there are some things that seem a misstep. First, and foremost, where are the hot links to jump to particular page numbers within the index?? And there should be a search feature. And the one that really bugs me is the sideways orientation! Who the heck reads their tablet sideways??? Orientation should be an option. Once the map is sync’d/downloaded from the console, it should be accessible to review “offline.” All-in-all, though, it’s nice to have more to reference in this wildly in-depth and incredibly constructed game.

Good app overall but.... I really like it, the main I use on here is the journal, my only problem is that I wish they would make the text larger, I can hardly read it without putting my face again it, I have a bison impairment so I hope in the future you make the text bigger and/or add the the option to increase the size ourselves. Besides that though it’s great I recommend it.

Will not connect with Xbox. I have tried everything but the app will not connect with my Xbox. I am able to log into my social account through my xbox and sign in to my social account on the app. However the app just says Xbox disconnected. When I hit connect, I’m just logged out of my social account. Have restarted and relinked multiple times. Created a new account and tried linking that. Moved from wired to wireless. Changed privacy settings to sharing outside of Xboxlive. Signed in and out of Xboxlive. Tried multiple mobile devices. Double-checked IP addressed. Nothing has worked.

Map. Map still doesn’t work. Hasn’t been working for years since the game released. It worked at first then when the online came out I have not been able to use the map since. Everything else works but I would like to be able to use the map since I play with the compass and everything turned off for s more immersive play through. With the map on here I can see where I need to go without having to use the in game compass or map. Please fix this.

Not worth the price. Minimally interactive and slow to open some tabs. Only reason I found this app good was to inventory cigarette cards yet I still used a free internet app to find the cards I was missing which this app doesn’t have but maybe because it doesn’t really have any cheats. The compendium display of animals and other collections only shows what you’ve collected but doesn’t inform you of what your missing. The app has and index but it’s only a pdf, so, you can’t tap links to map or info resources. Finally, there was a lag opening certain tabs even though my WiFi’s connection was solid. This app shouldn’t cost as much as it does.

Good, but has more potential. This is app is great, but it has more potential. It has so many thing that it could do, but only does a few of them. Like being able to show the map when you’re on in Red Dead Online, and with the recent update where it doesn’t show any players except when you’re close to them, that would be perfect. Or being able to use it as a smaller monitor. Other than that, great app and I would recommend a download.

Dumb reviews. Learn to read. I used this when it first came out, it was great. Now, not so much without the map. And It says under the description that the MAP HAS BEEN DISABLED INDEFINITELY! So that’s gone. Also, who in their right mind thinks that RDR2 could be mobile??! It’s 110 gigs and one of the most beautiful games to exist. Of course it’s not mobile ya dumb dumbs. I highly suggest playing it on your console if you can. One of the best games ever.

Beautiful Disaster. this game has so much potential, given the amazing RDR storyline. we would love to see the backstory of every character in Arthur's gang. MORE MORE yet the machines Sony and Xbox designs continually get modded n jailbroken by unskilled fakegamers. it severely needs private lobbies to avoid the unwanted rancid behaviors of some ppls children...so sad they won't take the time necessary to perfect the skills required to be successful in the game and instead choose to run scripts allowing the computers to play for them. jus know my posse fam n friends wont play with lame cheaters. #STOPTHEBS

Five star app that rocks. Great great great app ! I cant say anything negative about it ! Its beyond helpful with so many pros and very little cons ! Helpful in finding and learning about the game beyond what any other app does ! Whoever is to be given credit they deserve it 100% ! Im not paid for this review I do not own any rights to rdr2 or the rockstar Company!

Worked well on PS4, hoping to see it get updated for PC. I used the map in the companion app a lot when I played on PS4. Very useful for taking shortcuts off the paths while still staying on course, the second screen map updates in real time with your location so it’s very helpful. However it doesn’t work at all with the PC version yet; I was hoping the update ~2 days ago added support for that but alas it doesn’t work. edit: two months down the road and still no support for the PC version. Seems like this app is being abandoned.

Could be better. Missed opportunity here, most of the app is simply a portal to your rockstar online profile. The online profile is actually pretty well done, tallying your story progress, challenges, collectibles, etc. but it lacks that polish that an app can provide. It especially feels like a missed opportunity as the game itself does a poor job “serving up” challenges, collectibles or pretty much anything aside from main and side quests. This app could act like your satchel, showing your inventory and challenge progress.

All game guides should be like this.. The first app support I saw similar to this was for Fallout 4. Loved the interactive Pip-Boy. However this is way more intuitive. Having the strategy guide linked to it is brilliant. I have my iPad with me as I roam the countryside. Top rate job. For ten dollars you get a perfect companion to a game that will define this generation of games. Stop reading and download it.
