Great app for any ark uses. Please add Classic Flyer compatibility. I was considering giving it 4/5 as lack of Classic Flyer support make it unusable for me when it comes to taming my birds, but this could effect your sale. I've bought Pro ver to support your hard work after all. It's 217188 people not being able to use your app for their flyer. Please consider adding support for the mod. Thx again for your hard work!

This app is great, listing any possibility I can think of for taming, how long a certain level will take, basically anything related to taming is here. My only problem is that anytime Im not on wifi, the app just doesnt work and brings up an error code. EDIT FOR THE REPLY: I'm on cellular data. Im able to access every other app perfectly fine, but an error code just pops up for this if I'm not on Wifi.
Kody Hampton
This app is amazing! It helps you learn what which dinos eat, how much it take to craft it's saddles and ect. But I have ran into one problem. As I'm using the stare time I select how much of what I have and how many narcotics, I realized that the hunger is wrong in its timer. It doesn't correct itself or anything the hunger is alway at 3,300 and it doesn't match the dinos hunger and as soon as you edit it the dinos hunger has already started.. please fix

I wanted to type out a long review but the play store just. Learned what I was typing.... So I'll keep it short and simple: this app is wonderful for accessing quick info about taming, admin command list could be more responsive and the map / wiki doesn't display well on devices with smaller screens in portrait mode. *****/*****
Nayfe Pacewell
This app is a must have for any Ark Survivalist. Got a dino that you want but arent sure how to do it or if you even can? Just DODOdex it. Never be caught under prepared again. This app andvanced my game play to pro in a week with everything this app has helped me learn. 5 stars
Phillip Henderson
This is the greatest app for Ark Survival Evolved. However since the change in rates, I have noticed some discrepancies in the kibble of some of the tames. Also will a breeding calculator ever be added Edit: Everything seems well now been using it for over a year only had 1 issues and it was fixed quickly

Hi Gerpir! Thanks so much for the five stars. :) Classic flyers is something I'd love to add, but it's a LOT of work to implement (especially as a one-person team). I would have to completely rebuild stats so support multiple "versions." That suggestion is listed on dododex.com/feedback, so I'll watch it to see if there's a lot of interest. :) This app is great, listing any possibility I can think of for taming, how long a certain level will take, basically anything related to taming is here.

Heya! Could you email me at dan14lev at gmail.com so I can look into this for you? This app is amazing! It helps you learn what which dinos eat, how much it take to craft it's saddles and ect. But I have ran into one problem. As I'm using the stare time I select how much of what I have and how many narcotics, I realized that the hunger is wrong in its timer.

Dan Leveille February 23, 2017
Hi Kody. The hunger value is not predictable, so Dododex gives its best guess as to what it might be, but you have to change it before you start the timer, or you can pause the timer and change it to the correct value. Let me know if you have any trouble! And feel free to email me at dan14lev at gmail. :) I wanted to type out a long review but the play store just. Learned what I was typing....

Dan Leveille January 17, 2017
Hi Phillip! Thanks for the review! I'm working on breeding-related features and that will be part of the next major version. If you spot specific taming errors, please use the "Report Data Error" button so I can look into it. I'm a single developer so any help spotting errors is appreciated! Thank you for the 5 stars! Appreciate it! :) This helps you so much with information about the game like what dinosaurs are good at harvesting to knocking it out. It tells you how much resources you need for certain things. Instead of having to Google for everything when you have a question you can just download this and it's all right on 1 app. I definitely say download this you won't regret it. :)
Everything works great. The only issue I run into is the points system for stats keeps telling me the stats have too many but I use the listed stats given on the game. Xbox1 console. Issue fixes on May 23, 2017. Thank you for you prompt response and fixing the issue.
Dan Leveille May 23, 2017
Hi Jeremy! Dododex's stat calculator is for pre-tame stats only. It sounds like you're probably using the stat calculator on dinos that are already tamed. If that's not the case, send me an email at dan14lev@gmail.com with your example stats and I'll look into it for you. :) Amazing app but i do feel like the narco and narcotics amount is low expecially for beavers. This app has helped loads for taming which a key factor in ark. I always load up on them anyways but even if you set the narco limit higher on the app in my opinion would be better than lower. Still gave it a 5 star though. Or maybe im reading it wrong. Is it how many narcos to tame it or how many to refill the torpor bar? Thanks
Dan Leveille February 1, 2017
Hi Jacob! The narcotics count refers to how many you'll need overall throughout the tame. Are the food quantities correct for your beavers? And just to be clear, is your multiplier properly set (official servers are 1.5x right now). If you can point exact errors, please use the report data error button at the bottom of the app so I can investigate. This app is very helpful for preparing for tames. It's pretty accurate. I would have given 5 stars but one thing I don't like. The taming tips are never full of tips. People upvote stupid stuff and you have to dig way down to find helpful suggestions about use and taming. The tips section is mostly just peoples attempt at humor. Otherwise the app is really useful. Moderate those tips and I'll give you a 5 star rating.
Dan Leveille May 8, 2017
Hi Brad. I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with the tips. I moderate tips, but some Dododex users have said they love the humorous tips, so I don't remove them unless they're offensive or misleading. I'd love to chat more with you about this on how I could make the app more useful. Could you email me at dan14lev at gmail.com? Great app, excellent for taming anything on ark. Would love to see the thorny dragon's torpor attack in the knockout section. I know it doesn't do as much as other things but having it can be helpful if using a crossbow while mounted and needling at the same time.
Dan Leveille January 24, 2017
Thanks for the feedback, Stephen! I've been meaning to add the Thorny Dragon. It's on the to-do list! :) Fantastic reference app! I will say the taming narcotic counts are low. For example a lvl 51 Castoroides I was taming said 10 narcotics in-app, but in reality took around 150 narcotics. Only problem I've had, keep up the good work!
Dan Leveille February 21, 2017
Hi Shawn! Thanks for the feedback! When you spot an error, please use the "Report Data Error" button in the app -- this routes all the errors to the appropriate channel for debugging. I will look into the beaver issue. Thanks! :) Can never play a day of ark without this app... Its amazing and so helpful. I wish that dododex provided a map for where dinos can be found. I feel that im constanlty on google, searching for spawn locations for my possible tames. If theree was a spawn map on dododex that would make it the perfect app to use for all of your needs. Also the Timers seem to be a little off. They decrease faster than the dino is actually decreasing in food of Torpor.
Dan Leveille February 23, 2017
So glad to hear that, Cassidy! Do you have any feedback on what would make it worth five stars? Always looking to improve and I love hearing user feedback! :D I love the app, laid out very nicely. Only thing I wish was a little more consistent was using the back button on the phone. For example when I go to capabilities and then select one the images of a flyer to see which one it is, hitting back on the phone will just close out but the app.
Dan Leveille February 3, 2017
Hi Cody, that's because clicking a dino one one of the screens is essentially clicking the back button -- it brings you back to the home screen of the app to load that creature. I'll give that some thought though -- there might be a way to revamp the navigation so that works. :) This app is very useful along side the game. It gives good information on what to use for taming, how long it takes for breeding/incubation and what is needed for knocking something out. Recently though I've been having problems with opening the app. It will just showing the loading screen and never open. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still won't work.
Dan Leveille March 28, 2017
Hi Adrianna! I'm sorry to hear this! Are you still running into this problem? Could you email me at dan14lev at gmail.com so I can help you resolve this issue? Thanks! :) Hi! I love this app, it has so much information inside it, and it has helped me many different times. The only thing I would like is a engram table, where it shows at what level certain items are unlocked. It would really help. Thanks for this amazing app anyways, it is really helpful!
It seems like a great app, and friends that I play Ark with will swear by it, but every time I scroll down for any dino it will crash. There's only one time that I could scroll down to breeding, but as soon as I clicked more details it crashed. I can see the potential, but I literally just can't use it.
Dan Leveille March 10, 2017
Hey JTBomber! I'm so sorry to hear that! That's very strange, I haven't heard of this issue before. Could you send me an email at dan14lev at gmail.com so I can help look into this issue to see what the problem is? Thanks so much! I really do love this app, don't get me wrong. The only issue I have with the app is that there isn't much for primitive plus players. There are a lot of extra stuff that we can use to tame dinos. For example, rice is like prime meat for herbivores. Even are spare ride is like just slightly worse than raw prime meat. Just needs a little bit more.
Dan Leveille April 7, 2017
Hi Edgar! I'd love to hear more about what you'd like to see for Primitive Plus. If you're able to, please send me an email at dan14lev at gmail.com. I've been looking to talk to some players who are more familiar with it than I am so I can figure out the best way to do it. Thank you! Glad you like the app! This is an amazing app for ARK! I would recommend this to anybody that is a newbie to the game. I just have one problem with it. There are a lot of dinos that don't have any narcoberries or narcotics values that show up for them. Please fix this because I'm always having to guess their amount and I have failed a few tame attempts because of it.
Dan Leveille January 24, 2017
Hi Hector! Is it saying "0" or is it not showing any number? If it's not showing any number, it might be a problem with a custom fonts interfering with Dododex's interface (some users have reported this). Could you email me at dan14lev at gmail.com so I can look into this issue? Torpor timer is sorta bugged. Sometimes just goes to zero. Thinks dino woke up even though there is plenty of time left. Other than that it's become very resourceful
Dan Leveille February 26, 2017
Hi Travis! Sorry to hear that. Could you send me an email at dan14lev at gmail so I can get a few more details from you? Thanks so much! :) Just wondering if you could update some of the Dino's to include more food options. Went to tame a thylaceo and there's no option for prime meat or regular. Love the app though, a must have and well executed :)
Dan Leveille April 14, 2017
Hi Hayley! This has been updated! Your app should update within the next hour or so. Or, you can go to Settings > Check for New Data. :) Very very Useful but not 100% accurate, just always bring 10% more tranquilizers, narcotics and food. Best thing about this app is, it tells you what your getting into before the 4 hr+ tame starts
Dan Leveille January 24, 2017
Hi Mitchell! Thanks for the feedback. I'm always looking to improve its accuracy, but I'm a single developer so I appreciate any help in pointing out specific errors. Please use the "Report Data Error" button when you spot anything inaccurate. :) 5 Stars because it's obvious how much work you must put in to this. Great app, tells me things I didn't realise I needed to know. Love the link to the wiki aswell. One issue I had was when I was looking at the capabilities part of who can damage what, I clicked on one of the dinos to look but when I tried to get back to the list of dinos it just exited the app, would be good if there was a a way to go back without having to find it again. Tiny though, overall great app
It's not bad, gives you a general idea of what to expect (never exact) so don't us X amount of narcotics and run off thinking your fine. Also taming effectiveness seems to be higher then what you get. Would be nice if there was a (set start time at #:##) Everytime you click something it resets the time.
Dan Leveille January 27, 2017
Hi Lance! When you start the timer, it will always be running under "Timers" in the menu. Regarding accuracy, could you provide specific creatures/lvls that were off? I'm constantly improving the accuracy so I appreciate any specific error reports. If anything is less than exact please use the "report data error" button so I can fix it. Thanks! :) Great app, I use it daily for taming and such. The down side to this is $6.50 to remove ads!! Are you on crack boy? That's madness man...Madness!! *Edit* sold buddy buying full version right now.
Dan Leveille March 28, 2017
Hi Snaps! Sorry to hear you feel that way. Dododex is nearly a full time job for me (as a single developer), so I have to support myself somehow! I'm glad you find the app useful! I really enjoy using the website but the app is very hit or miss in its accuracy. I can plug the same stats into the site and the app and get two different results. I messaged the dev and he is aware of this issue (since at least Dec 2016) and it has not been fixed. I give it 2 stars only because i like what the dev has done but the app seems to be an after thought sometimes...
Dan Leveille June 28, 2017
Hi Kristin! I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed in the app. The app is definitely not an afterthought, I just have a ton of requests from a ton of users, and I'm only a one-person team. Are you referring to the "above/below" labels? I just fixed this and it will be in the next version of the app -- including an extra feature. :) Voice option not supported on galaxy s5. good app though.. edit.. in that case this app deserves 5 stars since the only issue i see has to do with google not this dev.. thank you for the app it has helped me alot
Dan Leveille April 11, 2017
Hi Karrade. Dododex's Google Home integration only works on Google Home. Google does not allow developers to build third party apps into Google Assistant yet. However, they said that this functionality will be coming in the future, at least to Pixel pones. Hopefully they'll extend it to more devices as well. Very good app. Only thing ghats not accurate is the amount of narcotic needed. It says 17 on a lvl 30 beaver. I went through at least 130. Otherwise its great
Dan Leveille January 28, 2017
Hi Justin! So sorry to hear you ran into that issue! I'm not seeing any estimates that show 17 for a 30 beaver. Which multiplier and food method did you use? Could you email me at dan14lev at gmail with details so I can look into this error for you? Thanks so much! :) Best ARK companion, hands down. I would like to see the torpor timer work more like the starve timer; max and current value, but the dosage adjustment is nice. The starve timer is super easy to sync with the game, but the torpor time, not so much. Everything else, from recipes to weapon damage, food and narco needed are all excellent.
Very useful app. Definatly recommend. I paid the extra for the add free but i wanted to support the development more. So much work has been put into this app. The only thing i would like to see would be a shaded map displaying most common areas for dinos.
Dan Leveille March 28, 2017
Thank you for the review and 4 stars, Matthew! Glad you like the app! It's nearly a full-time job, and I'm a single developer, so a lot of work has gone into it. :) A dino locations map may be coming in the future, but it's a huge project! It's on the to-do list though. :) had the app for a very long time now. I still love to it's usefulness at my fingertips, but it's crashing horribly. most of the time it crashes when I try to open app, open recepie & dyes, change/update weapons, and changing from one dino to another sych as click on what dinos prefer dilo kibble.
Dan Leveille April 30, 2017
Hello! I'm so sorry to hear it's crashing for you. Could you send me an email at dan14lev at gmail.com so I can look into that issue? It seems to be working fine on my Android, but if you're able to provide me with some more details, it would help out a ton! Thanks so much! The admin command section doesn't work. When i try to select certain item or search in the command section. It simply doesnt function. And a search bar would be phenomenal. Its just to inconvenient for me. Faster to just google it.
Dan Leveille June 14, 2017
Hi Muzika! I'm having trouble recreating the bug you're describing. Could you email me at dan14lev@gmail.com so I could look into the issue for you? :) Hated the fact it's wrong nearly everytime. With feeding times, torpor and starve timers are utterly useless. I ignored it every other Time and used it as a faint guideline, the theory is great. The concept however is Cleary flawed.
Dan Leveille February 1, 2017
Hey Arron! So sorry to hear the app isn't working properly for you. It sounds like your multiplier could be set incorrectly (officials are at 1.5 right now). Note that timers can differ if a server has a lot of lag. If you have a min, could you email me at dan14lev at gmail.com & I can work through these issues with you or find the bugs? Thanks! :) This app helps you prepare for tames. I would be completely lost without it. It hasn't steered me wrong yet. Thanks for all the work you put into the app.
Loved the app very useful. The only problem I've had is when taming without kibble the kibble amount cannot be set to zero so can't get and accurate time scale
Dan Leveille June 26, 2017
Hi Alex. This is a bug that I'm working on fixing soon, but in the meantime, you can tap on another food item to swap to exclusively that food (it'll zero out Kibble for you). If you have any questions, please email me directly at dan14lev@gmail.com and I'd be happy to help you out! Thanks for using the app! Happy taming! :D Alert mode ( starve timers and toppor timer) needs to be an actual alarm not just a notification and I have noticed that some starve times are off (castoroides, Gallo etc) willing to give 5 stars 🌟 when is fixed other than. That excellent app
Dan Leveille July 14, 2017
Hi Gibran! Glad to hear you like the app! I plan on revamping the alarm/notification system soon, so that everything is more seamless and you don't miss anything. Regarding the Beaver/Galli, could you send me an email at dan14lev@gmail.com with details -- which food, level, off by about how much, etc? Or any details at all. Thanks so much! This app is amazing! I recently got into Ark and I am so grateful for this app! Without this I never would have tamed my Spino. The timer was so helpful to let me know how many narco berries I needed and when I would need to get back to make sure my dino did not wake up. I am very satisfied with this app! Thank you so much!
Great app, love in every way! Super helpful! EXCEPT the only reason I still use Google is that it does not include stack sizes. For instance, veggie cakes can't stack higher than 5, but that is not told in the spoil timer.
Dan Leveille March 28, 2017
Thank you for the feedback, Alex! I'll add that to my public to-do list on http://dododex.canny.io. Thanks for the review! :) Best app for ark period. Dan is an amazing guy. Always helpful and answers every question and email. Who does that in the app business? App is perfect, always accurate, I've never had a problem. Maybe Wildcard needs to hire this guy lol. Thanks Dan for all that you do, you make Ark GREAT.
Dan Leveille February 15, 2017
Awww, thank you so much! I appreciate that! And thank you for the five stars! :D Love this app and all the features it has. As a request can you add a map for each creature to show where to find it on the map. If this is already in the app can someone please tell me
Dan Leveille May 26, 2017
Hi Michael, that feature doesn't exist yet, but I hope to add it in the future! It's been a popular request, it's just a very big project! Thanks for your interest, though! And thanks for the five stars! :D Review deleted
