Riot’s recent push into the trading card game space with Riftbound has restarted the conversation about the wider League of Legends ecosystem, and a lot of that ecosystem still lives outside the game client. Whether you play League of Legends on PC, Wild Rift on phone, or both, the right Android app saves time on builds, runes, friend coordination, and post-match analysis. The category is thin compared to PC tools, but a handful of apps do the job well. We picked six worth installing for the Summoner’s Rift to stay productive on a phone.
What to look for in a LoL companion app
LoL companion apps fall into a few clear buckets. The features that matter:
- Builds and runes. Champion-specific item paths, rune choices, and skill orders, ideally updated within hours of each patch.
- Match history and stats. Look-up by Riot ID, recent games, win rate per champion, KDA, and lane performance.
- Live game intel. Some apps inspect the current lobby or in-game state and surface the enemy team’s strengths.
- Patch notes and esports. Riot’s patch cadence is fast; a companion that keeps you current saves checking the website.
- Coordination tools. Voice and chat with the team you actually play with.
- Wild Rift coverage. The mobile version of LoL has its own meta and item pool. Apps that cover both LoL and Wild Rift are more useful than apps that only cover one.

The 6 best League of Legends companion apps for Android
1. Riot Mobile — best official companion
Riot Mobile is the official Riot Games app and the right starting point. It connects to your Riot account, surfaces friends and party invites across League of Legends, Valorant, Wild Rift, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra, and ships a unified inbox for game updates, esports schedules, and personalised news. Match history is read from your account directly.
Riot Mobile for League of Legends keeps the most useful “outside the game” features in one app: friends list, club chat, esports VODs, and store browsing for skins and content. Patch notes and developer videos arrive here first.
Where it falls short: No build advice, no rune suggestions, no live-game inspector. The match history view is more summary than analysis. Push notifications for esports and news can be noisy without tuning.
Pricing:
- Free: full app, no ads
Platforms: Android, iOS
Bottom line: Install Riot Mobile first; layer specialised apps for builds and stats on top.
2. Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift — best for builds and meta
Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift (also known as LoLegacy) collects build paths and rune choices from real high-elo and pro players, then ranks them by win rate per role and matchup. Pick a champion, see the most-used items in the current patch, and copy the build into the client at home. Coverage spans both standard League of Legends and Wild Rift, which is rare in a single app.
Probuilds for LoL on Android is also one of the cleanest looks at counter picks and lane matchups, with a champion compare view that highlights which abilities to dodge and which to bait.
Where it falls short: Some of the deeper analytics are gated behind a paid tier. Older patches are removed quickly; if you want long-term meta history, look elsewhere.
Pricing:
- Free: builds, runes, lane matchups for current patch
- Premium: in-app purchase, removes ads and unlocks deeper stats
Platforms: Android, iOS
Bottom line: The pick when you need a build paste-ready before your next queue.
3. TFT: Teamfight Tactics — best for TFT players
TFT: Teamfight Tactics is Riot’s standalone Android port of the autobattler that started inside League. It is the actual game on a phone, but it is also a useful companion: even when you mainly play on PC, the mobile app shows your match history, set composition stats, and lets you continue ranked progression on your daily commute.
TFT for mobile play also has up-to-date trait charts and item guides built in, which doubles as a quick look-up while you queue on PC.
Where it falls short: It is the game itself rather than a companion, so it stays useful only as long as TFT does. Standard League of Legends is not playable here.
Pricing:
- Free to play, with cosmetic and pass purchases
Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Mac
Bottom line: If TFT is the version of LoL you actually play, this is the only required install.
4. Radar Stats for LoL — best for personal performance
Radar Stats for LoL focuses on the player rather than the meta. Drop in your Riot ID, and the app produces a multi-dimensional radar chart of your performance across CS, vision, kill participation, gold differential, and more. You can compare snapshots between weeks to spot trends.
Radar Stats for LoL is the right call when you want to know what to work on rather than which build to pick. The visualisation makes weak points obvious in a way listed numbers do not.
Where it falls short: Single-purpose app; no builds, no runes, no live game features. Wild Rift is not covered. Some advanced views require a connection to the user’s match history API.
Pricing:
- Free: full app
Platforms: Android only
Bottom line: Open Radar Stats once a week to see whether the work you put in is showing up in your numbers.
5. WR-META — best for Wild Rift meta
WR-META is a Wild Rift-only companion that publishes tier lists, item builds, rune choices, and counter picks for the mobile version of League. The app updates within a day or two of each Wild Rift patch and ranks champions by win rate per role.
WR-META for Wild Rift on Android is one of the few apps that does not treat Wild Rift as a footnote of its PC counterpart. Skill orders and rune pages reflect the mobile-specific kits, which differ in places from the PC versions.
Where it falls short: Wild Rift only; if you mainly play PC LoL it adds nothing. Some advanced features (combos, video clips) require a small subscription.
Pricing:
- Free: tier lists, builds, runes, counters
- Premium: subscription, unlocks combo videos and offline mode
Platforms: Android, iOS
Bottom line: A Wild Rift player’s primary companion; PC-only players can skip it.
6. Discord — best for voice and team chat
Discord is the de facto voice and text platform for League of Legends teams, clubs, and one-trick communities. The Android app handles voice channels with low overhead, push-to-talk on Bluetooth headsets, and direct DMs with the friends you queue with.
Discord for League of Legends coordination is also where most regional and champion-main communities live. Joining the right server is often the difference between a good or a tilted ranked night.
Where it falls short: Not LoL-specific; you bring the LoL community context yourself. Voice quality on mobile drops more than the desktop client when on weaker connections.
Pricing:
- Free: full app
- Nitro: subscription, unlocks higher-quality streaming and customisation
Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux, Web
Bottom line: Install Discord as the connective tissue between your champion mains and the people you actually play with.
How to pick
- If you only install one: Riot Mobile, for friends and account-side features.
- If you want builds and runes for your next queue: Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift.
- If TFT is your main mode: TFT: Teamfight Tactics.
- If you want to fix your own play, not chase the meta: Radar Stats for LoL.
- If you play Wild Rift specifically: WR-META.
- If you queue with a fixed group: Discord, for voice and shared notes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best League of Legends companion app for Android?
Riot Mobile is the right baseline because it is official, ad-free, and ties to your account. For builds and runes, pair it with Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift. For Wild Rift specifically, add WR-META. For competitive self-improvement, Radar Stats for LoL is unmatched on the platform.
Are there League of Legends apps that work on iOS too?
Yes. Riot Mobile, Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift, TFT: Teamfight Tactics, WR-META, and Discord all ship on iOS. Radar Stats for LoL is currently Android-only.
Can these apps see my live LoL match?
Riot’s API exposes recent match history and account info, not live game state, to third-party mobile apps. Live-game inspectors that show the enemy team during champion select are common on PC (Mobalytics, Porofessor, Blitz) but rare on Android because they rely on Overwolf or local PC integration that does not run on phones.
Do I need a Riot account to use these?
Riot Mobile and TFT require a Riot account. Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift, Radar Stats for LoL, and WR-META work without sign-in but personalise better when you provide a Riot ID. Discord uses its own account.
What about Wild Rift on Android?
Wild Rift is the mobile version of League of Legends developed by Riot. It is the actual game; companion apps like Probuilds for LoL & Wild Rift and WR-META handle builds, runes, and meta. Riot Mobile covers friends and news for Wild Rift the same way it does for PC LoL.
