Apps Tier List
By Ayythony
A tier list of all the apps in the game so that you can get up your game if you're stuck and need some help or just need a handy reference.


Note: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, you are free to agree or disagree as you wish.
Note Note: This is only for non-upgraded apps only, upgraded apps may be covered later if I feel like it.

S-Tier
Self-Care
  • Uses : 1
  • Gives you a heart after using the app uninterrupted for 4 seconds (Doing the yoga pose)

This is the app that you're always happy to see when it's dropped. Health is extremely valuable in down under especially when you're tackling the tougher challenges. In the easier difficulties this app may seem less useful but as you progress through the game you'll almost always have an empty heart container that needs to be filled.

Mob Flash
  • Uses : 5
  • Stuns all enemies in a room.

Having a panic button when you get overwhelmed means the difference between losing way too much health and flawlessly clearing a room. Plus it makes any elite or harder enemies a cakewalk by using this app and smacking them continuously. Also great because it works against most bosses as well so if you're struggling against one pop a few flashes and go to town.
A-Tier
Jitter
  • Uses : 3
  • Gives a caffeine boost for about 6 seconds.
A caffeine boost means faster attack speed and faster movement speed. Faster attack/movement speed means killing and dodging more enemies and taking less damage. Pretty useful overall and a big help in the Styx and Joblin challenge rooms as speed is everything.


Stxy Road
  • Uses : 1
  • Jackie controls a fast rainbow car that can deal damage and makes the player invincible.
While not the greatest in boss fights this can come clutch in cramped rooms where you're feeling overwhelmed. Jumps up to S-tier when in Styx because this thing was MADE for the challenge room. All but guarantees at least 4 stars and a fat wad of crypto-currency.
B-Tier
Winkedin
  • Uses : 5
  • Creates a winky text that slams down onto the targeted enemy (not always guaranteed to hit!). Deals 10 damage
Winkedin is great at sniping high priority targets or if you really wanna get rid of a pesky enemy. 50 total damage is nothing to sneeze at and is great for the challenge rooms in winkydink. Falls off hard in impostor mode and against bosses so if you have the option to take a more useful app you should!

Upcycle
  • Uses : 2
  • Completely repairs an item and gives it a random modifier. Also gives ammo to ranged weapons
While the app initially isn't that great it's value sky rockets when you manage to nab a valuable weapon or a great ranged weapon. Using a legendary/great/ranged weapon until it's about to break/run out of ammo and up-scaling it is probably the most bang for your buck you can get with this. Would be higher on the tier list if the SMART modifier was removed from the random modifiers you could get because a homing thrown weapon isn't as great as it sounds.

CoupSnoop
  • Uses : 1
  • Gives a discount ranging from 15-35 percent on shops. Can be used multiple times.
While great on paper this app isn't the greatest thing to have. A discount on shops can be valuable but only if 1. You've got money to spend 2. The shop actually has some useful things 3.You actually know where the shop is. Another thing to consider is you'll also be leaving behind other potentially more useful apps while holding onto this thing (because changing rooms will brick the apps on the floor). Plus this thing is useless if you get it during a boss fight.

Cubicle Reverb
(I need to get a picture of this so no pic for now)
  • Uses : 1
  • Makes the objects in a room SMART and hone in on enemies causing physical damage
This app can vary wildly depending on the room layout you use it in. If a room has no objects this thing is as much dead weight as Wheres App in a boss room. However, in a high object count room this thing is a monster that'll destroy anything that moves. In the same vein this thing can be okay or useless in boss fights. Boss rooms usually do not have that many objects so it's better used in a regular dungeon room.
C-Tier
JoblinSquad
  • Uses : 1
  • Creates a Joblin Ally.
While not the greatest an ally can serve as both a useful distraction and a slight DPS bump. Most of the time however they usually only last a few rooms before getting Yeeted by an explosion or standing in a fire (WHY are you standing in the campfire MOVE). Also almost useless against bosses unless you have a ton of allies as they get whacked very quickly. Would be bumped up higher if the Ally AI got better.


TubeYou
  • Uses : 1
  • Creates an inflatable tube version of Jackie that enemies will target. Can be destroyed after taking too much damage and will explode and deal 3 damage.
A distraction sounds neat but it can actually be way worse then advertised. Enemies will sometimes switch from targeting the tube to targeting you resulting in you getting whacked if you stand too close. Much more useful when you drop this in front of a group and run away to target isolated enemies. Also not that useful against a boss unless the boss summons minions. Then you can drop this in front of the minions (or the boss) and target the others. Be wary though as bosses will tear this thing to shreds in a few hits so you don't have that much time!
D-Tier
CubicleNOW
  • Uses : 1
  • Calls in a delivery drone that drops a better cube.
Not really that useful as cubes and weapons are plentiful in the dungeon. It can pay for itself if you can wack the drone fast enough so that's a bonus. Can be bumped up if you've got the right skills or mentors.
(If you didn't know destroying a drone gives you an app so w00).
F-Tier
Wheres App
  • Uses : 1
  • Reveals the entire map
Unless I'm misinformed this piece of work is downright useless. Sure it can point you to the skills and shops but most of the time the dungeon is linear enough that you'll run into it anyways. Also you're encouraged to explore the map to get as much money and skills as possible. Maybe if secret rooms were a thing or if the maps got bigger this would be useful.
Conclusion
[/previewimg]
So this wraps up my take on the apps and how useful they are. If I missed something or if you disagree then let me know! Also if this gains enough popularity I may do the upgraded and secret apps tier list as well.

(also hella credit to the down under wiki it has a ton of resources go check it out!)

upcycle + swomp boxes is my favorite thing ever, nothing like getting something stupidly strong like a grim ledger at low durability then just fixing it TWICE with an upcycle

this list is mentally insane
weirdee 17 Aug, 2023 @ 1:46am 
I want to make a note here that upcycle also increases the size of the weapon, so if you just use it repeatedly on the same weapon, it'll keep getting larger and larger and the range will increase on melee weapons. This is especially dangerous on weapons that already have a big reach. However, you will want to space it out to make sure you take advantage of the durability recharging.

wheresapp is pretty good if you're at the start of a floor and havent found all the special rooms. it basically fills out your map until it reaches a special location (ex: card room, cafes, quest specific rooms, cubicle rooms, and exit rooms)

you did my joblins dirty by ranking them C-tier, but they are admittedly pretty dumb :bbtcat:
Hex: Pocket Sand 28 Feb, 2022 @ 4:19pm 
A pretty dang spot-on list, especially when I reached Imposter mode and saw the value in things like the heal and the stun. I'd personally say the cube and job apps could go up a rank since there's really no downside to using them if you don't already have a better app, but they're definitely worth ignoring if you have anything more substantial.

I've not noticed, does the Wheres app show secret rooms? I've found 3 on my own but not had the app when they existed.
