Best WoW companion apps in 2026
Updated on
The best WoW companion app in 2026 depends on the job. VaultAlts covers the Great Vault and weekly progress of every character on your account, RealmMate a roster with WoW Token alerts, Guild HQ a guild's raid roster, WoWSkill PvP and Mythic+ lookups, and Blizzard's Battle.net app chat and the Authenticator. Blizzard's own WoW Companion App has been gone since July 23, 2024.
Every app below was checked on the App Store and Google Play on September 21, 2026, and is credited with what its own listing says. The three official apps that no longer exist, and that older lists still recommend, are covered further down.
What a modern companion app should cover:
- Alt tracking across your whole account
- Weekly reset timers and reminders
- Mythic+ run tracking with affixes
- Great Vault management per character
VaultAlts is designed around exactly these needs, with live WoW Token prices and news as a bonus. Free, no addon required.
Which WoW companion apps still exist in 2026?
Ten apps. One is Blizzard's, the other nine are fan made and read the same public Blizzard API. The last column is the update date each store showed on ; an app that has not moved since the last season change is worth a second look before you trust its numbers.
| App | Platforms | What it does | Last store update |
|---|---|---|---|
| VaultAlts | iOS, Android, web | Great Vault slots for every character on your account, this week's Mythic+ keys and raid kills, six weeks of vault history, reset reminders, character lookup, WoW Token price, mounts, pets and toys. Free with ads; retail characters only. | |
| RealmMate | iOS, Android | Account wide roster with item level, gear, Mythic+ runs and raid progress per character, weekly affixes and reset, WoW Token price with target alerts, and an auction watchlist for chosen items. Free with banner ads. | |
| Guild HQ | iOS | A guild's roster and raid nights: boss by boss kills and DPS from Warcraft Logs, attendance, Mythic+ scores via Raider.IO, and your main's item level, score and Great Vault progress. No login. | |
| WoWSkill | iOS, Android | Character search across EU and US via Raider.IO, PvP ratings per season, Mythic+ scores per role, live arena and Mythic+ leaderboards. | on iOS, on Android |
| Mythic Codex | Android | One character's profile at a time: gear, achievements, dungeon and raid progress, PvP stats. | |
| Warcraft Collections | Android | The mounts, pets and toys a character or warband owns, with a compare view for other characters. | |
| WoW Token Prices | iOS | Live WoW Token price in five regions with day, week and month charts, price alerts, home screen widgets and an Apple Watch app. | |
| WoW Token: Prices & Alerts | Android | Token price for US, EU, KR and TW with a week of history and per region alerts. | |
| WoW Achievements Companion | iOS | Browse achievements, set goals per character, open any of them on Wowhead. Not linked to your account. | |
| Battle.net (Blizzard) | iOS, Android | Friends and chat, news and patch notes, the shop, account settings, the Authenticator and support tickets. No character data. |
Store descriptions are the source for the middle column, so each app is credited with what its own listing claims and nothing more. VaultAlts is the only one of the ten whose listing describes Great Vault tracking for every character on the account; Guild HQ shows the vault for one main, and RealmMate's listing does not mention the vault. Raider.IO, Wowhead and Warcraft Logs are websites: none of the three has an app under its name in either store.
Which WoW companion apps are gone?
Three apps by Blizzard, and any list that still recommends one of them is out of date. None can be downloaded, and the WoW Companion App stopped connecting the morning after The War Within pre-patch.
| App | Lived | What it did | What ended it |
|---|---|---|---|
| World of Warcraft Mobile Armory | July 2009 to | Character, guild and item search, achievements, talent calculator, calendar, guild chat, and from 2011 the remote Auction House. | Blizzard ended support; its features moved into the Companion App. |
| Legion Companion App | Announced , replaced | Class Hall missions, troops and world quests for Legion. | Re-purposed into the WoW Companion App. |
| WoW Companion App | to | Mission tables from Warlords through Shadowlands, world quests, guild chat, news, calendar, character inspect, and the Auction House again from patch 9.2.7 (buying from , selling from ). | Retired with The War Within pre-patch, announced . No replacement. |
The full story, what players actually lost and what covers each piece now, is in the WoW Companion App replacement guide. Whether Blizzard publishes any WoW app at all today is answered on is there a WoW app, and the Armory's own app has its own page.
Which app for which job?
| You want to | Use |
|---|---|
| See every alt's Great Vault, keys and raid kills | VaultAlts on iOS, Android or the web |
| See a roster with WoW Token alerts and an auction watchlist | RealmMate |
| Check your guild's raid progress and attendance | Guild HQ on iOS |
| Look up any character's PvP or Mythic+ record | WoWSkill, or the VaultAlts character lookup on the web |
| Watch the WoW Token price | The VaultAlts token page, WoW Token Prices on iOS, WoW Token: Prices & Alerts on Android |
| Chat with Battle.net friends, read news, use the Authenticator | The Battle.net app |
| Buy or sell on the Auction House from your phone | Nothing since ; the Auction House is in game only |
| Run mission tables | Nothing; those systems left the game and the app went with them |
Two limits apply to every fan made app in the table. The Blizzard API they read is read only, so none of them can chat in game, move gold, post auctions or change anything on your account. And VaultAlts covers retail characters only: Classic, Hardcore and Anniversary realms do not appear in it. Whether the other apps read Classic realms is not stated in their listings, except Arena Armory on iOS, a lookup app built only for Burning Crusade Anniversary realms.


Frequently asked questions
Does the WoW Companion App still work in 2026?
No. Blizzard announced on April 24, 2024 that the app would stop working with The War Within pre-patch, the patch went live on July 23, 2024, and the app has not connected since. It is no longer on the App Store or Google Play.
Is there an official WoW app in 2026?
Not for your characters. Blizzard's only WoW related phone app is Battle.net, which covers friends, chat, news, the shop and the Authenticator. Everything about characters, vaults and keys comes from fan made apps that read Blizzard's public API.
Which WoW companion app tracks the Great Vault?
VaultAlts tracks all nine vault slots for every character on your account, with six weeks of history. Guild HQ shows the vault for one main character. The other apps in the table do not mention the vault in their listings.
Is there a WoW mount tracker app?
Two. VaultAlts shows your account wide mount, pet and toy totals with the full searchable list of what you own, on iOS, Android and the web. Warcraft Collections on Android shows the same three collections for any character you search and lets you compare with other characters.
Are these apps safe to log into?
VaultAlts uses Blizzard's own login page (OAuth) and receives read only access to your characters; your password never reaches it, and you can revoke the access at any time under Connections at account.battle.net. Guild HQ states that it needs no login at all, and WoWSkill and Mythic Codex look characters up by name.
