HoYoLAB Reviews

by CinnaHoney

I really only made an account for daily check in rewards and the interactive map for Genshin but 1) notifications don’t work 2) I can’t enable the floating map on my phone so I have to either switch back and forth between apps or look at my old phone 3) the network rarely connects. So many times I’ve opened HoYoLAB only to have network error despite having full internet and data. Sometimes I’ll be scroll and click on a post but boom “network error”

HoYoLAB is great, i love that i can have an app that tracks my progress in the game i love. The interactive map for Genshin is great but it would be nice if it was improved further. It would be nice to see where on the map i haven’t explored, remaining locked chests and it would be lovely if the map removed anemocculi etc. that i have already collected.
Right now the interactive map, which in my opinion would be the most useful tool in HoYoLAB , only has features that can be gotten from other websites.
I don’t play any of the other Mihoyo games and i can’t speak on HoYoLAB features for them but i can tell HoYoLAB is trying to be like the nintendo online application, which is great and would be amazing for Mihoyo games. I hope in the future they add these features and continue updating their app.

Love the idea of HoYoLAB, but the execution is terrible. Great concept of having the map and the daily check in stuff, and love seeing fan art and being able to submit to photo competitions all from one app instead of using the website. However, every time I use HoYoLAB , it will be working fine for a moment and connected to strong internet and it will suddenly stop loading things and give a network error sign on every page. I’ve tried reloading and restarting but it just doesn’t work. it’s absolutely not my internet or my phone, I’ve tested it multiple times when the problem arises. So annoying to only be able to use for a minute before it becomes completely useless. Hoping the next update fixes the issue!

it’s great when it works but half the time it won’t load upon open or i’ll try to participate in web events (genshin specifically) and the cinematic intros loop repeatedly to the point where i have to close the whole app and log in again. but never actually get to participate for the rewards. love getting my daily log in gift and news etc and no hate to the company or games etc it’s just the functions never seem to work quite right

by Gacha Genshin Gamer

Half the time I get a “network error” that won’t load any pages, but now there’s a massive bug with the best feature: tracking Resin. Battle Chronicler asks if I want to enable real time notes (I did this weeks ago successfully), but clicking the “Enable” button does nothing now. Clicking the “Don’t Enable” button ironically works…

Tried changing settings manually, clearing cache, deleting/reinstalling HoYoLAB , and restarting my iPhone: nothing works. Best feature in HoYoLAB and it’s blocked behind a bug.

The only thing i think needs fixing is being able to change usernames. Please let us i know so many people that are stuck with bad ones because they where unaware it would stick.

I also have a question. Will deleting an account linked to your genshin account also delete your genshin? I need to know because i liked an old account to my genshin account by accident and now i cant unlink it so i want to delete that old account so i can link my genshin account to my new this app account. Please answer this i tried emailing with no response and I really want an answer as i cant find this answer anywhere.

Thank you for your hard work.

HoYoLAB is absolutely grate it makes stuff so much easier to find in genshin impact but I wish that once we connect our account it would show us on the map what we have collected already instead of us running around making it take longer in general HoYoLAB is really great I recommend it!!

by Gacha Gacha Bella Gaming

HoYoLAB is amazing I can see all the new updates in Genshin and I can use the interactive map and claim my check ins right from an app! But the thing is it’s having frequent network errors because it says “network error” when I have good WiFi and my other apps work. I also love to post because so many people like my work! (Artwork) also can you please add dark mode? Thanks!

by Ari❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘

This is a very helpful app! A nice shortcut for the daily check in, and the interactive map. However, I keep getting an error that says my network is not working even though it works fine. I refresh it over and over again, but it still is not working. It would also be mice if there was a way to refresh the fanart, so it’s not the same ones.

I have used HoYoLAB for a while as a genshin impact player. Recently I encountered the network error issue (which showing loading failure on the screen). Simply reinstall wouldn’t help, and I’m using the most updated version. But when my phone disconnects with WiFi, it works just fine. Wish the developers can fix the bugs ASAP.

Needs a bit of tweaking in areas. I was hoping this would actually give daily reminders for check ins but it does not. Thankfully it’s on my main Home Screen so when I see it I remember to do it. But it would be nice to have a notification with a reminder just in case. Otherwise, easy to navigate and semi user friendly. Sticks in places for me from time to time but it’s doable. Very happy this now exists because never been able to get daily check in awards until now.

HoYoLAB is great overall it keeps you up to date on current events and banners allows players to share their art work and cosplays of characters has a daily login outside of 2 of their games Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact has an interactive map for Genshin Impact and even a resin tracker for Genshin so you dont have to completely open the game just to close it. It would be wonderful if they added a wish tracker to make keeping track of wishes in genshin alot easier. Other apps have them but most require you to pay for a something so convenient its a nice idea but something like that over $2 is absurd I'd feel alot better if the company themselves added this

by Bzbe Xj

HoYoLAB is really good for artists who want to share their art. I like HoYoLAB because you can choose what game you want to talk about and it shows you only the most interesting topics, crafts, arts, and lots of other stuff too.
Personally I like posting my art on this app because it’s easy to use. HoYoLAB is also very easy to navigate and so far I haven’t had any trouble finding the stuff I’m interested in or need.

by MaeTRW

So I’m enjoying HoYoLAB so far, but I only really use it for one thing.
The Teyvat interactive map.
Now, I love how I can mark off my progress as I go, but I wish there was a feature that would automatically link my character’s in game progress to the map. Just saying this because I’m not in the mood to re-explore dragonspine just to find out what few chests I have missed…

by Lollipop0464

Great app! Good place to share images, art, and tutorials for things in game! There’s nothing i can find wrong with HoYoLAB other than the fact that the daily login notifications do not work/are broken.
I just think that it’d be nice if it’d be fixed, so i don’t have to try to remember to login everyday. It’s not a HUGE problem, but it’d nice if it was fixed. :)

Congrats to mihoyo on the successful launch of the new this app App!!! (//o/^/o//)*

i’ve been hoping for an official, mihoyo made app to track progress that comes with event reminders and a more comprehensive interactive map for awhile. I’ve been playing genshin and honkai for awhile, being level 50+ on both its really nice to have another resource for when i get stuck or to remind me of events coming :)

by OfficialRazorMain

I love how they made their own Interactive Map so that you can find things easier. Even though their are many other maps, I think this one is the most efficient one. I also love that you can see other fan art and funny memes on HoYoLAB! If you play Genshin Impact, then I would definitely recommend HoYoLAB to make things a lot easier!

by PantherstarofSkyclan

i honestly only got this game so i could get daily rewards for my newer account to help with leveling up, building characters, etc. but within the first few minutes it totally grew on me! both me and my brother are on it for more than the rewards on Genshin, but also for the fabulous fan art, which is either really good- so good it’s jaw-dropping!- or just absolutely adorable, the memes and any other fanfics there might be besides the Thoma&Childe one! (i loved that one btw Wind Traveler Jaime, if it weren’t for you i never would’ve fallen in love with ChiLumi and fall in love with Childe even more especially since my main is Lumine!!!) and the wallpapers that people make! i am very thankful for HoYoLAB and glad i had the courage to ask my parents for it or else my life wouldn’t be the same!!! ❤️❤️❤️

by PlayGenshin

The thing I like most about HoYoLAB is the teyvat interactive map because it’s actually really useful and helpful for marking certain items such as anemoculi, geoculi, electroculi, and crimson agate. Also you can use the map to mark ascension materials such as violet grass so what I’m trying to say is if you need any materials badly like I do you should use the interactive map

by MjohnsonYT

My friend and I saw the this app app and we love it, however some notifications don’t really work for us for some reason, most specifically the daily checkin. We have it turned on, but it doesn’t notify you when it resets, so that’s a bit of a disappointment.

On the topic of notifications, it would be really nice to have the ability to have a notification bell for when someone you follow makes a post. It’s just nice to be able to see a preview of the post or to be able to know what has been posted without having to get in HoYoLAB and scour around.

Another addition that could be pretty nice is having a messaging system so that people could talk to each other? I don’t think that I would use it often, but I like the option to communicate with others if I would like to.

It would also be really really nice to see how much resin you had in your Genshin account through HoYoLAB ! Managing resin can be a bit scary if you don’t want to cap out, so having the ability to check it through HoYoLAB would be such a godsend!

Either way, I’m happy with HoYoLAB so far, and I will continue to use it for my Genshin-y needs!

I really wish I could give it a 3.5 since HoYoLAB is kinda confusing and it’s not an app for **iPad** but you can still download it but as the screen gets bigger, the screen looks kinda blur(it’s like making a small image larger), other then that, it’s cool

by Emma Del.

glad that there’s a this app app now, makes the daily check-in’s so much more convenient and easier.
HoYoLAB itself is pretty simple to understand and use

by 某个小家伙

I was expecting a little bit more (Honkai 3 stuff, contact my friends in game, etc.) But overall it did a great job & I don’t have to use my computer to check out those great fanarts :D

by BrandobobReviews

HoYoLAB deserves 5 stars because of its many features for the game. It provides reminders of events, and game tools to help you in game. The only thing that is missing is a version for the iPad.

by HaxJason

Definitely a lot easier to use and open since I am available to my phone most of the time.

by BerryBloom_wolfie

this is easier to use than the website, very helpful

by Tsukkomisan

Been waiting for HoYoLAB for so long, finally it is here 🎆 Would like to see account switching feature in future update.

by Pinky Pie.

HoYoLAB is absolutely amazing and its official!! theres a daily log in that gives you a 100 primos and i actually got it!

by SakuraHilda

Daily Check-in is bugged. Doesn't work

by Amber_the_archer

I like the adorable UI of HoYoLAB , though the functions are not so synchronized with website.

by Meatbulbs

by Bobbuilder4k

Simply amazingly convenient

by P Diddie13

literally everything here work’s amazing. and the community is amazing! i love to see it mihoyo💋. wish there was one for honkai :(

by Leahsakuraa

It’s a very good app to talk about Honkai and Genshin. Also good daily login rewards for genshin (if you play like me). Very nice community and HoYoLAB layout is clean!!

by S Bsshssf

So far, it looks interesting ^^
