Fallout Pip-Boy Wiki

I love the app and it works perfectly, but I have an idea that can improve it for the (Actual) pip-boy owerns, sorry other users. I noticed that there are light up features on the pip- boy including the on off switch and the screen itself but there is something that I think that could be lit up, the radiation counter. So I realize that this update might affect people that use iPhone 6, iphone5 or Samsung galaxy S4 and S6. The older generation of phones might not work(iphone4) because they're too small, sorry older generation. My idea for the app would have a small light directly under the radiation counter illuminate to illuminate the radiation counter, to give it the illusion that it was working. This light could be toggled on and off from the settings menu. My foam cut out for my Iphone 6 was cut in a way so that, the phone on its back with the home button facing the radiation counter, the screne is able to reach the radiation counter to be able to illuminate it. I hope you might take this idea into consideration. Sincerely: Campbell

I was a little unsure at first but holy crap! It was an easy setup and everything is in real time. I never have to open my pip boy anymore because I just have this app open next to me on my iPad as I play and I have full control of everything in it. When I wanna change outfits and just wanna see what it looks like I just push it on my iPad while being zoomed out all the way out and watch what the changes look like instantly. Same goes for weapons or quest or even fast travel. This app is awesome. I never leave reviews but this is way to freaking awesome to only be 3 stars. With what I know now of how this app works I would pay for it if it had a cost behind it.

I just learned of this app last night and downloaded it today. Holy crap is it amazing. You can manage everything that’s in game right on your phone. I dont have the collectors edition, so I don’t have the pip boy. But I still love this app. I have it propped up in front of me while I play. The best part of this app? Real-time movement of the map. Yes, while your moving on the game, the arrow on the map moves along with your character. This is so helpful as it almost erases the need for constant pauses in the game for checking your map. It’s all right in front of you. This app has changed so much, especially since I’m pretty far in survival mode.

U should make a new like this but where ur character moves it’s self and it saids like “U have found a adanded house do u what to explore.” And say yes u can find something like “ u have found a pistol some ammo and a baseball cap. And u can loot it and u can go to ur pip boy and equip them. And fighting something it shows the thing that shows the damage and u can tap the body part with the equipped weapon. And the pip boy looks the same as usual and to move go to the pip boy and tap to move to the location. I HOPE U READ THIS BETHESDA BECAUSE I WOULD WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY IDEA FOR A GAME AND IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO RIGHT THIS. P.S I love ur games!!!!!!!

This is in my opinion hands down the best companion app there is. However there would be one more thing that would make it perfect. Since there is an option to build an Eyebot Pod in game to search for crafting components, ammunition and explosives, it would be amazing if you could send Eyebots in the companion app while away from the game and collect items to use in-game. There are other games that utilize this feature and it would be great for Fallout 4. I know you manually have to send them through the pod and not through the pip boy but still... maybe?

I was very very disappointed to know I couldn’t use this app with fallout 3 on my 360, is there any chance you can release a legacy edition of this app compatible with the Xbox 360 console?? Thank you :) aside from that the app is awesome. Also I think you could make a lot of money if you made a pip boy that interacts with your surroundings like Ingress or Pokemon go, and then the point is find “settlemts” but you can battle creatures and raiders on the way there and stuff, and you can even feature some of the radios and stuff! I would by that app in a heart beat!

I had a challenge connecting and as it turns out, the Windows firewall permissions appeared *under* all other windows, so I didn't see it for a while. So please look for the firewall dialog (Bethesda, please update your documentation to point this out). With that out of the way, the Pip Boy App is *brilliant*. It gave my old iPad mini new life. I encountered this app by chance, and it makes it so much easier tromping through the wilderness seeing your progress on the maps, and quickly allowing you to change outfit. THANK YOU BETHESDA!

I feel the app is great but if you play with the in game pip-boy before you will completely forget about this app. If you do it just doesn't seem practical for switching weapons since you are irl choosing a weapon and if you need to switch to a weapon fast then it doesn't really work. But I guess that is why you hot key a weapon. Personally I use the app as my map since I don't like to use a hud in a game if I don't need to. Again great game just not what you might expect.

I downloaded this thinking it would be just something to see what was in my inventory and after i connected it it turned to the red i use on my pip-boy and that shocked me and then i went to inventory and it showed the modded weapon i had(im on ps4 and i have the skillzerk weapon pack mod) and i saw drop. So i clicked it and the weapon dropped. I was extremly shocked but happy. This one app is going to make my fallout 4 gameplay so much more immersive. 10/10 will recommend this to others

First, after saying what device you are using, it should ask what fallout game you are playing (unless it knows what fallout game you are playing). Second, if your dead, the Pip-Boy app should said you are dead until the loading screen is there. Third, if you are in offline mode you should be enable to do some things (things should be changing clothes, Changing radio stations, plying stimpax etc), not all things.

Wow, this is the kind of features you’d like to see on most of modern games. The Pip boy app is an excellent companion for your console game, making it easy to follow your progress on the map and scrolling through your inventory. The only problem is that most of the times I have problems syncing the iPad with the Xbox. I don’t know if it’s fare to blame the app (it might be the Xbox’s it my network’s fault) but if it wasn’t for this issue, I’d give it 5 stars. Keep up the good work developers!

My pip boy for some reason in game will not display a screen, no clue why. But the mods i had downloaded never caused this problem, i only started noticing this when i downloaded this app, the app actually freezes anytime im outside of power(which thank god i always use power armor) and therefore my in game pip boy screen doesnt display when im out of power armor, but does when i am in power armor. Im able to leave and go back to the pip boy without issue, but it just shows up as a blank screen besides the very bottom row, to drop, favorite, etc. Im sometimes able to use the app to change gear out of power armor but that usually doesn't last for long. I’ll submit a ticket to Bethesda's website, so this has a greater chance of getting solved but anything you guys could do would be appreciated!

I was really excited to use this app but just like most things these days it doesn't work. I have tried everything. In fallout 4 settings I have the pip boy enabled. In the Xbox settings I have SmartGlass enabled for anybody. I checked the account that I'm logged into in the Xbox settings. I tested that my password was correct by logging into SmartGlass. I am able to connect to my Xbox using the SmartGlass app. When I try to connect on the pip boy app I select "Xbox one" and my Xbox appears with the correct IP address. I select it and login but it says it's unable to connect. I tried restarting the game like it suggests. I tried restarting the app. I tried restarting the Xbox. Unfortunately the troubleshooting is SmartGlass troubleshooting, not pip boy app troubleshooting. It only suggests to restart the router and if that doesn't work to default to factory settings on the router. I know it isn't the router because I am able to connect on SmartGlass, the networks are the same (my 5ghz ssid is different than my 2.4ghz ssid), and the IP address is correct. I really wish it worked but it doesn't so I can't give it more than one star. Please fix it Bethesda before I have moved on from this game.

It’s. a 5 star app but hitting 1 so disgruntled can know the fix. I also couldn’t connect and thought it was because. I have 100+ mods and run the script extender in Modmanager 2. What fixed it was the latest update on the steam version. F4SE (script extender) couldn’t be used so I waited 3 days for the update to be made to it. Once It was updated I ran it and on the first run Windows 10s firewall asked me for permission to run it on either a home or public network. Choose HOME Network. All of a sudden the app worked! I had made it more “secure” earlier which prevented the app connecting properly. Also ensure it is enabled in the Fallout game menu and restart the game. I hope this helps you
