1. 3/5Room for improvement

   The only reason why I am not rating it five stars is because of the interactive map and the overall moderation of posts. I don’t like that I can set a custom pin and view routes on my tablet, but I can’t make routes unless I am on a PC. I have a PC, but going back and forth is very inconvenient. What about the other users who don’t even own a PC? I know they are probably annoyed about it too. As for the moderation, it is saddening looking at so many racist and homophobic/transphobic users be able to post so freely without any repercussions. The new report feature is nice, but it doesn’t do anything. Those posts are still up and the users are still able to have an account on HoYoLAB. Not only that, they get tons of engagement on those harmful posts and I know most of the users of the app are under 18. That is beyond harmful for their mental and self-esteem. Please enforce your own rules. You can’t say this and that aren’t allowed, but still let them get away with those very things.

2. 5/5uhhhhh good? i guess?

   The app is super helpful! I mainly downloaded it for the teyvat interactive map and it really helped :3 plus so much more stuff like daily check ins for in game items that also help out ^^ building characters and so on and so forth. The developers are incredible and the games they make are too. But i hate the community. Like so much 💀 I never wanted to meet the community because of how much bad i hear about it and i’ve been bullied online for playing genshin before they got to really know me. Saying things like “the only sane genshin player” “rare genshin player W” stuff like that. And unfortunately now i know why. The community is just straight up cringe. Obsessive, mentally unwell, and head over heels in love with fictional characters. I didnt think it was that bad until a younger player made a redesign and was horribly cussed out over “trying to change the character” because “she is perfect the way she is”. I dont understand how you can have so much hatred for a real human and so much love for a character that doesn’t even exist…. But yeah. Thats my take on it. just stay away from most of the people and its a great app

3. 5/5I recommend for many reasons.

   This app is very fun, very helpful, and overall an amazing app. Original, I had downloaded this app to be able to figure out builds for characters and the interactive map(which doesn’t work for me but wtv), but I realized that overtime, this app it’s great for socializing as well. Here, you can find your people, who play the games you play. Hoyoverse has many games, yes indeed. If you want to find people who play the games you play that her miHoYo/Hoyoverse’s, this is the perfect app. They have Honkai Imapct, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zero Zone, and Tears of Themis. I only play Honkai Star Rail and Genshin, but I do plan on getting Honkai Impact soon. This app has its benefits, many actually. You can post about your characters or maybe whatever issues you have, you can make friends and friend them on whatever game you play, you can search up builds if you play HRS or GS, bosses, maybe exploration! This app has it all. I post on this app, not daily, but just to share my experience with everyone else and my thoughts that. One thing I love about this app, is the stickers, both the stickers for each game, and the gifs. Another thing is the comment decorations. They also have this little thing called “traveling mimo” where you can use it, and get primogems for genshin, Jade crystals for HRS, and many more stuff. Overall, this app? 5 stars. Truly amazing, very helpful and super fun. I recommend, most definitely.

4. 1/5App not optimized for iPads

   Don’t get me wrong this is a great app and I’ve been using it on my main iOS account for quite some time but on my phone. I recently got an iPad and tried to use it to use the teyvat interactive map. I was very disappointed as the app displays as if it’s a mobile app and not taking up even half the screen in size so everything is small and looks as though this is truly only an app designed for phones. This breaks my heart as when I try to use chrome or safari to run the teyvat interactive map it has this annoying popup that can’t be disabled telling you to open the hoyolab app which as I described doesn’t work. If you request desktop site then when you tap icons they don’t display the information like marking the pins to remove them and the general description, there’s just a little x that can’t be pressed. This is in landscape mode which obviously would make sense as a laptop/phone replacement. In portrait mode it works fine but is there really any point in using a map in portrait mode as opposed to landscape? I personally don’t think so. Fix the app for iPad users or fix the fact that we can’t close the hoyolab popup that appears when you use a browser. I don’t know what y’all expect with this very very poor attention to detail. Will remove negative rating once addressed because this truly is a phenomenal app.

5. 3/5App is fine, some of the people are very much not

   I guess this is probably how it is for most social media type apps, but the community feels especially toxic here on HoYoLAB. There's lots of non-productive arguments that just devolve into insults. Also, I really wish they would stop changing the companionship screen. The original[? not sure if it's actually the original one, but the first one I remember since I joined the app] one where the heart was in a different place in the screen each day / character was fun, I liked that one the best. Being able to collect the daily rewards for all of the games I play in one place / app is nice, however. I kind of hate that it censors so many words though, even ones that aren't really cuss words, like "idiot" or "boob." I wish they would make it so it's optional for each player to have them censored on their end. So like, I could write "idiot" and it not be censored for me / other people who turn the filter off, but it would still be censored for those who choose to keep the filter on. I don't know, just my thoughts. Overall, decent enough app, especially for a company that specializes in games rather than social media platforms.
