This app lets you try new and different alchemy recipes without wasting your in game ingredients. Now this app has a very simple User Interface and trust me when it's this type of app the simpler the better! You can select a single effect, then choose two ingredients from the filtered lists accessed by the silver buttons saying "Select Ingredient", and then one more ingredient whose effects match either or both of the first two ingredients. It will also tell you what effects that potion will have if you were to make it in game. I find it VERY handy when I'm trying to track down that one perfect potion, or just to avoid negative effects on positive potions by changing ingredients (I don't spend any perks in my alchemy constellation in game, even though I try to max out my alchemy skill).
Also there is a secondary function where you select two effects and it gives you a list of possible ingredient combinations to give you those two effects in a single potion. Be warned though, cause the second effect list isn't filtered like the ingredient lists are in the primary screen. I have found a few effects that would be nice to have together, but just won't go together.
I have one issue with it (and it's a minor issue): I want the buttons to be bigger! It's not that I don't have any dexterity in my fingers, it's just that I like a little wiggle room and padding when the only UI shown is a few buttons. I'm not saying the screen needs to be filled with them, but 5 to 10 extra pixels bigger each would be nice.
So does it pass mustard? yes
Should you buy the pay version? well if you have some money left over on your app store card it'd be nice to support the author, but there's no added incentive past "Disable ads" to go pay.
