[Original review May 2019] Massively helpful app, but the current version has literally nothing in it. No blocks, no recipes, no information, nothing. Gotta fix that real quick, guys. Pixel 2 XL. Edit: 22/07/19; still no content in the app. I don't know what happened to your database, but it's still empty.

good basic information about the game and items in it. The only small gripe would be that for detailed info, it links out to the gamepiedia, which isn't a huge deal, but jumping back and forth from the app can be a bit of a drag.

Very informative, helps give you all the information on mobs, biomes, structures, items, blocks, enchantments, commands, potions, redstone circuits and even achievements. Helped me several times whenever I've forgotten a recipe and it doesn't chuck ads in your face, but does give you an option to look at news to minecraft. However, I do wish that it could add details on minecraft dungeons within this too, or maybe make a separate app for minecraft dungeons like this app.

Very helpful app with links to wiki pages. Current update gently nudges towards the pro version which is acceptable but is freezing all the time. I'm sure it will get fixed but a present issue.

This was a pretty good app for intense Minecraft players and I highly recommend it. However I kind of wish that it will be a but more detailed in things cause it sort of just threw important things aside. Also I play mainly bedrock edition and this was clearly for java edition. If they could add a clever book for Minecraft bedrock that would be great. Also I wish they had more of a Redstone section. Otherwise really, really useful.

A very complete list of blocks and stuff, but a very incomplete description of most things. Lots of descriptions are just blank, while lots of others are just barebones one-sentence descriptions. Laves a lot to be deaired.

I wanted to do 4 stars. The reason for 3 is for two main reasons. First, lost 1 star because little work is provided on each item but rather a link to the Minecraft Wiki (fandom) but you could just download the Fandom App. Secondly, we can't add our own notes to any of the entries which would negate point one if I could add my own notes. It really is a nice app, just lacking that oomph to make it killer.

Superb app with brief descriptions of all blocks, items, mobs, biomes, generated structures, potions, enchantments, redstone logic circuits (*not* clocks, pulse shorteners, etc.), advancements, and commands in the game, but vastly inferior in detail to the MineCraft wiki. There are no guides associated with any of the entries. I'd pay for the premium version if it offered links that opened up information about deeper game mechanics like mob spawning, block updates, chunk loading, etc.

Links to Fandom wiki. It turns out that links only works correctly if you set up an account. Grrr and Sigh. So I give CleverBook a 4 out of 5. It does what it does. It provides the basic information about Minecraft mobs and items, it's a quick way to look up a recipe, and it's very decent for what it is. The extra point may not be possible. Because I have to go log in to another site, and I would prefer not to.

Overall, I really like the app. Just wish a few things were different: it'd be nice if it were more up to date since it always seems to be a bit behind the current version of the game and I end up having to just google the new stuff from the game. Also, I know it's a tall order, but it'd be nice if the info was directly in the app without having to go to the wiki each time. Other than that, it's great.

I started using it all the time again it doesn't crash on me any were near as it used to but I does still crash every so often other than that it's an amazing app (i used to use it all the time but all it does now is crash as soon as i start it and i have the pro version you'd think they would want to help their paying customers) old review in ( )

So for the first few days I had the app, it was working great! I learned a lot of things and, being new to minecraft, it's been super easy to just pop open the app and look up what I want! I even paid the 1.99 in order to favorite things. Now this is where it takes a turn. The last couple of days I have had the app it has not opened even once. I tried restarting my phone. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. The only way this review is getting more than one ⭐ is if it's fixed.

Amazing, easy to use and helpful when collecting everything in Minecraft but, after searching I can't seem to find the 'field masoned' (brick) banner pattern and the separate goat horns aren't labelled other than that it is perfect. Worth buying pro.

It's pretty good. Comes handy sometimes. I use it in english because I play Minecraft in english. That aside, the spanish translation it's not 100% correct. A good idea would be to add schematics for redstone modules like flying machines, clocks, etc. I also read from previous comments about the search bar and how it automatically puts you on a search category whenever you click an item of that category. I think its a nice feature but it should be optional imo.

Presents a very short but very useful summary on various things in Minecraft. (It links to the Minecraft Gamepedia for further information on subjects.) It hasn't been updated to Minecraft 1.13 *yet*. Names of subjects (blocks, items, biomes, etc.) that don't fit on the screen are slowly rotated for readability. I found a trick: if you open the notification drawer, the names snap to their beginning. The app is completely usable offline, except with one caveat: thumbnails in search results and in the various categories won't load, but upon tapping on the subject, the pictures load, including screenshots. Also, searching could look for all kind of things instead of blocks/items only.

Not only does this have the best UI of this type of app, but they have a clear description of nearly all items and blocks in the game. They included a list of all commands and how to run them, and an almost flow-chart like design for crafting and brewing. Easy access for favorites and well worded descriptions were the final decision. 10/10.

Really useful, but some recipes are listed as the Java equivalent recipe Only - For example, boats (in bedrock editions they require a wooden shovel in the middle), etc. If there was a way Both could be listed and have something to differentiate that, I'd enjoy this app more as I play both and having accuracy regardless of version would be wonderful. Otherwise, great app.

This is a nice app but a bit unorganized. It would be better to keep different materials grouped or group the items and show the material which can be used to make the item(s). UPDATE: While it is nice to see this app now includes the new items that came out with Minecraft 1.14, like items are still scattered throughout the Block and Item page. A block is a block, whether it's a lava block or other type of non-rock block. plants are plants, again whether they're flowers or saplings.

Great App. Good design; Exeptional record of all things Minecraft; and easier to use than anything I've come across. I would only ask one thing: Beauty redesign. I have a phone that uses adaptive icons to turn any icon into a circle, and this is almost the only icon that keeps it's shape. Other than that, I would just ask that the UI be updated to feel slightly more modern and mabye retain some sort of customization capacity (at least for Pro users like myself). Just a few friendly criticisms.

Being able to find all the items in the game at the press of a fingertip is very convenient. Also having lists of enchantments and potions and the breakdown of each individual one is also very helpful. If anything, one of the things I would add as a side list like enchantments and potions would be to make a side list of all the food recipes instead of having to individually find each recipe in the long list of blocks.
