Fallout Pip-Boy for Negative User Reviews

App Connection Fails On iPhone 5cThe app is good but loses connection on iPhone 5c, even with the latest iOS update on the device. Although, it's a great app, it would be better if it was available for use on Windows 10 with better connectivity to the console maybe through the connection of my PSN account, that would be more ideal..Version: 1.2

Doesn’t screen adjust anymorePlease update this app so it allows for screen adjust for when I use in the pipboy that came with the game. Worked on my old phone, not on the new iPhone Xs.Version: 1.2

Cool idea but doesn’t workHi I have the PS4 Edition and it will not connect to your phone.Version: 1.2

Dlc and connectivityAfter getting my new phone the app no longer works for me. Secondly, with the game only supporting limited dlc it’s a shame to see it’s missed potential..Version: 1.2

Works great: when it feels like workingI have Fallout 4 for the PC and I use a controller. For some reason, that means you can’t use the map to fast travel because the PC version expects a keyboard and mouse and screw you if you don’t. So I got the app to allow for fast travel. The only issue is that the pip-boy app disconnects from the computer ALL THE TIME. And for no readily apparent reason! Trying to check your inventory, disconnect. Trying to fast travel? Yup it’ll disconnect just as you are about to confirm the fast travel. And since my modem is right next to the computer, I can only conclude that the app is to blame..Version: 1.2

FixPlease fix, mine is not connecting to my Xbox one. Please fix.Version: 1.2

Terrible!!This is incredibly annoying have to rest my Xbox every time I want to use the app an game together...how can it have so many problems when you have so much money to invest too make it better u charge a lot for games an add on's yet your service doesn't get better. How can this be????.Version: 1.2

SuggestionsI really like this, buuut problem. Me not able to buy fallout or fallout 4 to connect to the pip boy, I’m stuck with the demo. But the demo is very limited :/ one game, the radio has no music, very little interaction. I get it that the apps mainly for those who have the game and the pip boy and want their game character irl, but there’s still people that don’t have the game and still want that kinda thing. It’d be cool if we could connect to fallout shelter and connect to our inventory, items, and one of our vault characters..Version: 1.2

Failout 4I have PS4 an iPhone 7plus and iPad all running off my bt Wi-fi Followed all instructions I could find but can’t connect either phone or iPad!!! Supposed to be a manual way to connect using IP address but I can’t see how GUTTED as I love this game and was looking forward to using this app 😩.Version: 1.2

Can’t connect to ps4I can’t experience it because it does not work with ps4.Version: 1.2

I can’t use the app for very long so if someone could fix that then please do soPlz help me.Version: 1.2

Poorly defined, explained, far from intuitiveI'm not even entirely sure what this is supposed to do but having played assassins creed pirates I assumed it was similar to the app associated with that game. Perhaps it is but I'll never know. Downloaded and assumed it needed to connect via Wi-Fi. Nothing obvious happens. I investigated the help and got some instructions. Now I've spent 40 minutes fooling about with this rather than playing the game. Reminds me of a scene from forever young where thepilot crashes the plane and an instrument falls out. He tosses it to an engineer and says "apparently it doesn't need that." That's the way I feel about this app..Version: 1.2

Won't work with MOBILE dataThis app is a HUGE disappointment I was expecting it to work with mobile data seeing as it is a MOBILE APP but no you need wifi not everyone has access to the internet and I'd expect this app to at least work with mobile data hopefully it'll get taken off the stores soon DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 1.2

It won’t connectI have tried countless of times to open the Pip-Boy app and it will not connect 1.i have enabled the Pip-Boy app on the settings 2 no matter how close my phone is to the console still will not work 3.i have restarted my fallout 4 and uninstalled the app then to reinstall it to find it the same as before .4 the same internet connection will not work as well. I don’t care that much about the dlc not being compatible with it. But I don’t hate the game. It would be cool to play it though..Version: 1.2

Can't connectI was really excited to use this app but just like most things these days it doesn't work. I have tried everything. In fallout 4 settings I have the pip boy enabled. In the Xbox settings I have SmartGlass enabled for anybody. I checked the account that I'm logged into in the Xbox settings. I tested that my password was correct by logging into SmartGlass. I am able to connect to my Xbox using the SmartGlass app. When I try to connect on the pip boy app I select "Xbox one" and my Xbox appears with the correct IP address. I select it and login but it says it's unable to connect. I tried restarting the game like it suggests. I tried restarting the app. I tried restarting the Xbox. Unfortunately the troubleshooting is SmartGlass troubleshooting, not pip boy app troubleshooting. It only suggests to restart the router and if that doesn't work to default to factory settings on the router. I know it isn't the router because I am able to connect on SmartGlass, the networks are the same (my 5ghz ssid is different than my 2.4ghz ssid), and the IP address is correct. I really wish it worked but it doesn't so I can't give it more than one star. Please fix it Bethesda before I have moved on from this game..Version: 1.2

A good appIt's a really good app but If you could listen to radio stations offline and listen or display holotapes it would've got the other two stars.Version: 1.2

UpdateI think I’m like most people with this in wishing they would just update this cool and quite unique idea so that it is usable with all DLC content because right now it is useless. And also who just bought atomatron??? No one..Version: 1.2

PhilipWas great app when we first downloaded it. Now it won't find our Xbox just comes up saying cannot find device. We have updated our iPads and iPhones and it still won't work. It's a shame good idea just not working 100%.Version: 1.2

Ok for gameplay not role playGood app useful and cool but it would be better to have a link straight to the actual pipboy 3000 to get a good price.Version: 1.2

PS4 won't connect.I have read a whole heap of people complaining that the app won't connect to their XBox one, well just to add to the fun , I tried to connect the app on my iPad Air 2 to my PS4, with absolutely no joy 😱 Both devices are on the same wireless network but the APP fails to find any ps4's. I have other apps that can connect to the PS4 with no problems, I just wish that apps released were more thoroughly tested and given better support. ( yeah I know it's free so I'm getting what I paid for lol )😟.Version: 1.2

Doesn't work.It worked once, after turning off my ps4 and tried it again the next day it wouldn't connect. After googling for a whole day and tried everything. Nothing worked. Even tried reinstalling the app on my iphone6 plus....Version: 1.0

2 starsIt’s a good concept but they need to update it for the other dlc’s.Version: 1.2

Ps4 problem of connectingWhen I start I try to sync it but it sa no ps4 in around why ?.Version: 1.2

Hype Is real but display size limitedJust is fantastic, played around with it in demo and feels and sounds great! I love it however I think there sound be an option to change the size to fit the entire screen of phone/tablet etc that is being used. I feel it's slightly clunky and the buttons are quite small so all but on the fence with this. No doubt I'll still use this while playing the game.Version: 1.0

Needs to be updated.Just because the new Fallout 76 is coming out and it’s only a small mobile app doesn’t mean they can’t keep it working with all the DLC for fallout 4. It won’t let me connect at all and it just makes me a little sad to see a fun app that made playing with anyone just a little more interactive and immersive, so I wish they would fix the small bugs as I would still suggest this app to anyone that loves fallout 4 and wants a fun addition to the full game..Version: 1.2

It used to work perfectly on my iPad AirBut since the last update it just freezes as soon as it connects to my PC. I tried deleting and re-downloading but the didn't help. It's a shame because it's A great app...Please fix it..Version: 1.2

Doesn't workMy xbox one connects to my xbox app fine. Yet this app tells me it can't connect check smartglass troubleshooting....I use two factor auth I think this is the issue. Does not work for me at all..Version: 1.2

MAPS?The app lacks support for both Far Harbor and Nuka World. When in both of the dlcs. The map is permanently stuck on the default CommonWealth, but luckily overlaid with all the NW/FH locations where they would be if there was an actual map to look at. This is such a great app but I don't understand why they would just give up on it especially in when FH came out which was only the 3rd out of all the 6 that have came out including NW..Version: 1.2

Good App, needs updates.Fallout 4 is an amazing game and the pip boy app is awesome both inside the physical pip-boy and as a standalone. I use it on my iPad while playing on px and in the pip-boy on PS4 While Fallout 4 has the best second screen app to date it has a few flaws that have caused it to lose two stars for me. The first flaw is being disconnected this is a common problem (~hourly) and while it's simple to reconnect it's more than a little annoying in the midst of battle. Secondly the app stores the game map separately from Fallout 4 meaning maps used in mods and the far harbour dlc do not work inside the pip boy app. Thirdly the app has to be manually enabled from inside the game. Witch is rather annoying. Finally please allow multiple apps to connect to the game (one on my rise and one on my iPad) In its current state I give it 3 stars. Fix the above issues and it would we'll be worth five..Version: 1.2

Air 2 problemI use my Apple air 2 for most things. But it just isn’t compatible with the PS4. Plz fix this..Version: 1.2

Connection issuesWorks but for only 8 seconds after 8 seconds it stops working brings up either "Game Busy" or "Connection Error". Please fix its really annoying..Version: 1.2

Fallout 76 pip boy compatibilityIf you could maybe create a pip boy simulator for fallout 76.Version: 1.2

SMHIt pains me to give this app a one star rating because I’m a big Fallout fan. When the app first came out, it worked great and it was very useful. I especially liked that I was able to play the mini games when away from the wastelands. Now, for some reason I can not connect to my Xbox One. I have tried every suggestion I have stumbled upon while searching online for a possible fix and nothing works! Please fix this soon so myself and countless others can continue to enjoy using the app while playing the game..Version: 1.2

Next-GenIt doesn’t have an option to connect to ps5. Please update the app to have availability to next gen consoles..Version: 1.2

DéceptionIl est même pas en français!!!.Version: 1.2

A wasted opportunityThis could have been really good and immersive experience but sadly due to the connection issues, it a real letdown. I feel sorry for those people who ordered the PipBoy edition, and won't be able to get it to work. Update this at once Bethesda!.Version: 1.2

LaggingIt starts to lag a lot.Version: 1.2

Bad AppApp won't connect to my PC even after enabling the app in game tried for hours, very disappointed..Version: 1.2

ErrorI can’t connect.Version: 1.2

LolIf you have all the dlc activated the. It might now work it’s only compatible with base game and automaton dlc.Version: 1.2

Great but...The app is great and just neat in itself but I wish that while you’re out when choosing radio on the phone instead of playing it in game but in your phone.Version: 1.2

Display clockI know this app has probably been shelved, but it would be nice to have a clock screen added so we can utilise our pip boys as a desk clock. Thanks anyways..Version: 1.2

Xbox série X/SJ’ai une Xbox série X et ça fonctionne pas vous pouvez régler ça?.Version: 1.2

It’s okaySometimes crashes my new Vegas game.Version: 1.2

Fallout 76Plz make it compatible with Fallout 76 I downloaded it to find I can’t use this Pip-Boy app On it Plz make compatible O I rate ur game 1 star or less It is a real disappointment when u find something Won’t work for u.Ur the 2nd app I have had this problem with. I think others experience the same matter. From my view the point of this app is to help people I say compatibility is a problem with this app that’s the only problem..Version: 1.2

Fallout 76Please ad one for FALLOUT 76!!!!!! This game is so cool and he need this!.Version: 1.2

Far harbourThe map is completely broken for far harbour dlc and icons in survival mode show as a question mark.Version: 1.2

Bah, doesn't even connectI can't connect the app to my Fallout 4 game on PC, no matter how many times I try.Version: 1.2

Please include dlc mapsMap markers switch to far Harbor bit not the map itself please update.Version: 1.2

Used to be GreatLike the others I’ve seen posted, it won’t connect. Last night, worked just fine, got up and hopped on a few minutes ago, and kaput. I get that you at Bethesda have other projects, and haven’t done update for this app in about 2 years, because ya think “Who even still uses this? It’s obsolete.” You’re wrong. I myself know of at least 20 other people who use it frequently, only 3 of which have had this issue. Please give an update. Makes our Fallout 4 experience so much fun and immersive..Version: 1.2

GoodIt works with Xbox one on fallout 4 but one thing does it work with other console and fallout games?.Version: 1.2

Will not connectI know this is late but I let it try to connect for 3 hours and nothing happened it just said connecting for 3 darn hours. Please fix this or take it off the App Store. (For Xbox).Version: 1.2

SkrtSkrt.Version: 1.2

It dosent workI turned on the enabled pit boy app but it says it dosent work i even tried refreasing.Version: 1.2

Needs update. Won’t pair with game on latest iOSFallout 4 was a great game but it’s been abandoned by Bethesda. I understand it’s pushing half a decade in age but it’s the strongest most talked about title they ever made and frankly it deserves some life support. It’s unplayable on PC unless you own a machine with 2015 specs. Anything newer will crash and glitch due to how it was coded. If you never got around to playing it get it on PS4. It’s still a better game than 90% of the garbage on the market. This feature was ahead of its time and useful as an accessory to the game. Unfortunately it’s dead now....Version: 1.2

Don’t downloadIt’s terrible it doesn’t connect to anything.Version: 1.2

´Je nais pas reeussi a le fair marcher meme si sa serais utile il faudrait aussi le rendre compatible avec fallout 76 se serais encore mieu.Version: 1.2

Doesn’t workIt just point blank does not work. With or without the Pip boy app setting on. Don’t waste the time.Version: 1.2

Great App, But issues with sound.After installing this and using it for the passed few days, suddenly the app went totally mute, no sound whatsoever, i made sure my volume was cranked up to 100%, check all my sound settings, even went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling the application itself, still no dice. Type of device is an iPhone 5s for reference. I think we need an update..Version: 1.2

Won’t connect to my pcAfter 100 tries it won’t connect I checked my Bluetooth uninstalled the app restarted fallout 4 but it won’t connect big dissapointment.Version: 1.2

Great idea, poor executionWhen I first downloaded this app I was not able to connect at all. I had all the settings correct but I was not able to connect. Now, Months later, I downloaded the app again and could finally connect. The problem is that I don't stay connected very long. I can use the pip in the app and it works in game, but it always comes up with a connection error 30-60 seconds after connection is made. If Bethesda can fix the bugs, then I would rate this app a 5/5 instead of a 2/5.Version: 1.2

Only can link with EN versionY pipboy cant get linked with other language?personally its fine with english in pipboy at least make it work with FO4 in other languages. Can use pipboy with english but just dont want my whole game change to english.Version: 1.2

Connection errorsIt’s good it looks amazing but I can’t seem to get it to connect to my Xbox 1 it does not scan and just says nothing detected Perhaps you could fix this? If so thank you.Version: 1.2

It worksI got it working on iPhone and iPad with Windows 10. It’s more of a novelty than anything else. I mainly just used it for the map and occasionally the status screen while fighting tough battles. Even then I only used it for the world map as the local map in the game is mostly useless. There’s no zooming with the world map either unlike in the actual game. I forgot about it after a couple of weeks and didn’t bother using it again..Version: 1.2

WhatI wish it worked, but for me on ps4 it’s not connecting even if I’m on the same wifi as the PlayStation..Version: 1.2

EhThis game used to work but now it doesn’t and it was a waste of time to try and get it to work.Version: 1.2

No connectionLike previous reviews tried everything to connect. The connection isn't the problem, my other SmartGlass is connecting. Not really sure where the problem lies within the app but it's useless if it's not connecting to the Xbox! Please update this soon!.Version: 1.2

Not workingIt doesn't connect to my Xbox or my younger bros ps4. It does however work on PC but lags and drops connection. I wonder if anyone will take note of these problems and fix them?.Version: 1.2

One star rank to help people who cannot connect find the fixIt’s. a 5 star app but hitting 1 so disgruntled can know the fix. I also couldn’t connect and thought it was because. I have 100+ mods and run the script extender in Modmanager 2. What fixed it was the latest update on the steam version. F4SE (script extender) couldn’t be used so I waited 3 days for the update to be made to it. Once It was updated I ran it and on the first run Windows 10s firewall asked me for permission to run it on either a home or public network. Choose HOME Network. All of a sudden the app worked! I had made it more “secure” earlier which prevented the app connecting properly. Also ensure it is enabled in the Fallout game menu and restart the game. I hope this helps you.Version: 1.2

Doesnt workThis app doesnt work because i run my xbox off of my hotspot and the app cant connect to it because of that. Is there any other way this could work. Because the xbox app still works.Version: 1.2

Add ps5 support even though y’all probably won’tDiscovered this after 7 years of its release, but please add ps5 support, ik yall prob wont.Version: 1.2

Needs TweaksAll this App needs to be perfect is the ability to run the "Full Screen" mode in actual FULL SCREEN. Maybe I'm missing something but I see no reason why the screen is run in 4:3 ratio.Version: 1.2

Doesn't work on the ps4Looks like a great app, very cool idea, but it doesn't work, no matter what I do..Version: 1.2

Update for PS5?I don’t know if it’s just a general connectivity problem or if it’s because I’m playing on a PS5, but the app doesn’t want to connect to my game at all which is a shame..Version: 1.2

Pip-Boy App Not WORKING!!!!I saw reviews about this app and it looks amazing but there is a big issue when trying to connect to my Xbox One. The app recognizes my Xbox but it won’t connect. It tells me to turn on Pip-Boy App Enabled and its on. I turned it off then back on I restarted my game. I checked to see if it’s connected to the WiFi which it is. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it. I tried everything I can think of and it won’t work. This app is screwed up and needs to be UPDATED. this app is like complete garbage. I’m very disappointed in this app. I was looking forward to it and it doesn’t even work. Please fix this app.Version: 1.2

Was great, but doesn't work with DLCI was enjoying using the map, and offline planning missions etc., would be 4/5 stars but unfortunately they've forgotten to update it with the Far Harbour DLC so I get the correct position and building markers floating over the mainland commonwealth. Fix please! 😬.Version: 1.2

Won’t connectDoesn’t connect to my game.Version: 1.2

Fallout 4 Ps4 Technical issueMy pip boy for some reason in game will not display a screen, no clue why. But the mods i had downloaded never caused this problem, i only started noticing this when i downloaded this app, the app actually freezes anytime im outside of power(which thank god i always use power armor) and therefore my in game pip boy screen doesnt display when im out of power armor, but does when i am in power armor. Im able to leave and go back to the pip boy without issue, but it just shows up as a blank screen besides the very bottom row, to drop, favorite, etc. Im sometimes able to use the app to change gear out of power armor but that usually doesn't last for long. I’ll submit a ticket to Bethesda's website, so this has a greater chance of getting solved but anything you guys could do would be appreciated!.Version: 1.2

Good if it didn't crashIPod touch 4th gen, IOS 6+ and it crashes out. Great if that was fixed.Version: 1.0
