The Red Dead Redemption 2 application has several options, but few are used within the application itself: only Map, Journal and Manual allow you to view the information without leaving the software. All others lead to external links, which are accessed by a browser.
The application offers several options that facilitate gameplay
Map
The map allows you to see the progression of the player map in real time, see where the player is and how he can progress on the farm. Game icons also appear in real time. To do this, the cell phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi as the video game, so that the map can be read from the Social Club account.
The app map is updated in real-time with the game map
daily
The Diary shows a lot of information for users to guide, but there is a counter: it's all in English. There is a translation, but it needs to be accessed by a second menu by tapping "Read". The information is not so well organized, but the simulation is interesting because it seems that the character is actually opening his diary.
The diary shows information about the history of the game
Manual
The Manual is available within the Companion application, but you must download it. The user must touch the "Download" option to start the transfer. When it is finished, just access the same option again and read.
The manual should be downloaded separately
Other options
All other options such as Feed, Catalog, Progress, and Strategy Guide are present in the menu but have no direct relationship to the application and also do not allow viewing without accessing the external browser. Therefore, the best option is to enter the Social Club by computer and check the information there.
