You can now download Fallout 4's Pip-Boy app

Fallout 4's Pip-Boy companion app is finally available for download ahead of the main game's release next week.

Described as "America’s finest, easiest-to-use personal information processor," the app will link up with Fallout 4 and let you access all Pip-Boy's in-game functions to make the mutant whacking easier to handle. You don't even need the collector's edition Pip-Boy to use it either, you just won't look as cool/stupid (delete as applicable).

Here are the key points from Bethesda:

•CREATING AN ELECTRONIC BOND! This app lets your portable device interact with Fallout 4 on your Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC. Away from your game system? No problem! Pip-Boy will remember your status and allow you to access your data while on the go.
• SYNCHRONISED TO YOUR TERMINAL! Improve your life by integrating completely with Fallout 4. Check your Stats, Inventory, Map, Radio and even play your holotape games all from the convenience of your Pip-Boy application.
• MINI GAME MANIA! Thanks to revolutionary advances in emulation technology, you can now play holotape games on your Pip-Boy. Atomic Command included free!

You can download it from the App Store here and Google Play here.
