Terrific app, thanks! – Mass Effect: Andromeda APEX HQ Review

I appreciate it when a developer goes out of their way to make an additional, free companion app to enhance my gaming experience. Thank you very, very much. From the app I can send strike teams (ST’s) out on APEX missions and they’ll bring back loot for me to open in game, earn me in game currency, and gradually increase my APEX score. I can also purchase and equip upgrades, gear, or even other ST’s as well as multiplayer loot boxes with in game currency. It lists all of the multiplayer characters I have unlocked so far and lets me look at and upgrade their skill trees. I find this aspect particularly helpful as I like to browse a character’s entire skill set and plan exactly how I want to optimize them before spending any points. It also lets me change my current weapon load out and mods. A note about others’ reviews: It’s a shame how jaded the gaming community is that people are docking stars on this free additional content for things like trophies. A lot of the other things people said about the ST menu being buried is just false. It’s a single button push to get to the ST menu. Another person said that you don’t get to preview abilities before you upgrade them. Also just false. The point is that developers don’t even have to offer companion apps or any other additional content and if spoiled gamers are going to leave bad reviews because they didn’t even take time to learn how to navigate the app, they’re just stupid, and companies will stop making stuff like this if we’re unappreciative a-holes. This isn’t meant to be anything other than a tool to help gamers and make it convenient to browse your multiplayer progress and send out ST’s. It does the job it’s meant to do and it does it well. Again, thank you devs.
