Even single-player games launch a season pass now. Between Genshin’s twice-a-month banners, Destiny’s weekly reset, Fortnite’s item-shop rotation, Remedy’s Control Resonant updates, and Warcraft’s raid lockouts, keeping track of what expires when is a mental load that used to be an actual chore. The Android apps below turn that load into one push notification: banner drops, resets, and free-loot windows land on the phone before the discord starts screaming about them.
We split the list between game-specific companions from official studios and cross-game trackers that let you keep an eye on ten seasons at once. Every app is free at core, and most support push notifications tied to a specific event, not a general “your season starts soon.”
What to look for in a live-service event tracker
- Per-event notifications. Not just “season 4 is live,” but “your character log is one hour from expiring.”
- Timezones done right. Most reset schedules cross midnight. Bad timezone handling means missed timers.
- Account link. The best trackers pull data from your account, so alerts are personalised.
- Shop rotation history. Fortnite and Genshin both benefit hugely from knowing when a bundle last appeared.
- Cross-game overview. If you play four live-service games, one aggregate view saves a lot of switching.

The apps
1. MapGenie: Genshin Impact Map — Best Genshin event and resin tracker
MapGenie: Genshin Impact Map is more than an interactive world map, though the map alone justifies the install. It tracks resin regeneration, weekly boss cooldowns, and per-region event locations. Push a season on your character and the app pings you when domains reset.
Where it falls short: Some region editors take a couple of days to add new event nodes. Premium unlocks per-account save states.
Pricing:
- Free: Full map and timers.
- Paid: Premium from around $2 per month.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Bottom line: The Genshin phone app to install if you only install one.
2. Destiny 2 Companion — Best for weekly resets and vault management
Destiny 2 Companion hooks into Bungie’s account API. Weekly reset countdown, seasonal quest progress, vault contents you can move between characters, and event timers that reach out to fireteams. Nightfall and dungeon rotation ships as a push notification the second the reset hits.
Where it falls short: Occasional API downtime after a big patch. Nothing you can do about that but wait it out.
Pricing:
- Free: Full app.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Bottom line: Every Destiny player who does not have this is playing on hard mode.
3. Fortnite Tracker — Best item shop and challenge sync
Fortnite Tracker is the community’s answer to “when is that bundle coming back?” The Android app carries live item-shop rotations, upcoming leaks, per-account match stats, and challenge progress synced against your Epic ID. Push notifications when a specific cosmetic returns to the shop.
Where it falls short: Ads on the free tier. Leaked-content section can be aggressive with FOMO framing.
Pricing:
- Free: Ad-supported.
- Paid: Optional ad removal.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Bottom line: The definitive Fortnite side app on Android.
4. HoYoLAB — Best daily check-ins for HoYoverse games
HoYoLAB is HoYoverse’s official cross-game companion. Genshin, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Honkai Impact 3rd all share it. Daily check-in rewards land in a single tap, seasonal event calendars sit alongside quick-view stats, and community guides update as fresh content drops.
Where it falls short: Overwhelming to first-timers because it covers four games. Not every event across the four ecosystems has full parity.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Bottom line: If you play any HoYoverse game, this is a daily-open app.
5. Wallet: Fortnite Item Shop — Best cosmetic history
Wallet: Fortnite Item Shop is a smaller-team app that tracks shop rotation history and past bundle prices. Set an alert for a specific cosmetic and the app pings you the moment it lands in the shop again. Historical price charts help you decide whether to grab a bundle now or wait for the next cycle.
Where it falls short: Only useful if you actually spend on Fortnite cosmetics. Push notifications need a reliable background service.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Bottom line: Niche but excellent if the shop rotation matters to you.
6. Warcraft Logs — Best for raid reset and world tour tracking
Warcraft Logs is the go-to raid analytics site, but it also carries world tour dates, cross-region reset countdowns, and top-parse leaderboards. On a phone browser it holds up well, and Discord integrations mean you can push alerts into a guild channel.
Where it falls short: No native Android app. Premium is the tier that unlocks the wipe-cause and comparison views.
Pricing:
- Free: Public logs and reset info.
- Paid: Premium from $5/mo.
Platforms: Web (Android friendly).
Download: Open in browser
Bottom line: Add to home screen if you raid. Otherwise, skip.
7. IsThereAnyDeal — Best for season pass discount alerts
IsThereAnyDeal is a price-tracker that treats every live-service pass as a separate SKU. Set a target price on Season 5 of Marvel Rivals and the app tells you the moment any store hits it. Historical charts show whether a pass has ever gone below your target so you know what to ask for.
Where it falls short: Community-driven store list, so obscure regional stores can be missing.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Android, iOS, web.
Bottom line: The community-run tool that actually lets you buy passes on sale.
8. Steam Mobile — Best for free-week claims and wishlist alerts
Steam Mobile is the official Steam app. Free-week claim reminders, wishlist discount notifications, remote game installs, and the two-factor authenticator for your account. Live-service games are increasingly on Steam, so this app catches a lot of what other trackers miss.
Where it falls short: No fine-grained per-game event notifications. Alerts are wishlist-based, not season-based.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Bottom line: Install even if you do not use Android for gaming; free-week claims add up over a year.
How to pick the right one
- If you mainly play Genshin, Star Rail, or Zenless Zone Zero: HoYoLAB plus MapGenie.
- If Destiny 2 is the main game: Destiny 2 Companion.
- If Fortnite cosmetics matter: Fortnite Tracker and Wallet: Fortnite Item Shop.
- If you raid in WoW alongside other live-service games: Warcraft Logs, added to Home Screen, plus WoW Companion (see our dedicated WoW article).
- If you play a bit of everything: IsThereAnyDeal for passes and Steam Mobile for free-week claims.
- If the notification volume is the problem: pick one game-specific companion plus IsThereAnyDeal, mute the rest.
FAQ
Which app is best for tracking free-week claims across live-service games?
Steam Mobile handles Steam free weekends, and IsThereAnyDeal covers other stores. Together they catch almost every discount and giveaway worth knowing about.
Do any of these apps notify me the moment a season ends?
Destiny 2 Companion and HoYoLAB both push season-end warnings tied to your account. Fortnite Tracker leans on general shop rotation alerts instead of per-account timers.
Is a Warcraft Logs Premium worth it just for reset tracking?
No. Free is fine for reset info. Premium is worth it if you actually analyse logs.
Can I use these apps without linking my game account?
Most do carry a public “view only” mode, but the personalised alerts (weekly reset per character, resin timer, seasonal quest progress) require the account link.
Are any of these apps ad-heavy?
Fortnite Tracker leans hardest on ads. HoYoLAB, Destiny 2 Companion, and Steam Mobile are essentially ad-free.
Which app catches the widest range of live-service events?
IsThereAnyDeal for pricing across passes and expansions; HoYoLAB or Destiny 2 Companion if the games you play are inside those ecosystems. No single tracker covers everything on Android yet.
