Five Star App
This is an incredible app. It really is a functional way to play DF on Mobile, and it is clearly a labor of love. Much like DF proper, the app will have a learning curve, but once you know where everything is, it allows you to do most everything you could do in the game normally. It does have a few oddities, but with such a huge game, and it being essentially free if you have a computer, any small gripes are not worth mentioning. This app has single-handedly allowed me to play more DF than I’d ever be able to otherwise, and that is worth some kudos in my book. Excellent work!

DF Subscription error
I’m getting a subscription manager error I just paid for the Server obviously! I got one game before it not loading up next play the menu doesn’t let me see how to Subscribe or to use Server paid for forever with an error message and connection issues! Absolutely Love DF hopefully it’s fixed soon
Not really playable.
I’ve been trying to play this on my iPhone the last few days and it’s not really playable. The UI is the biggest problem, it’s clunky but there are a lot of options that are missing. To give a few examples; you can’t create bedroom zones, when you create a storage yard there is no “select all” so you have to select everything manually every time, and you have to manually check your status and announcements.

Ah, good. It is working now. Great alternative.
I had to uninstall and reinstall the client to get rid of the tileset issue. I really enjoyed the iPad interface before, and while I love the Steam release (especially Steam Deck support), I like the iPad experience a lot.
Thanks, Mifki!
Thanks, Mifki!
Wonderful app & game! Actively supported!
If you’re familiar with DF, you know it’s a great game and not only how rich and deep it is, but also how influential it has been on gaming, essentially spawning multiple genres of computer games. This app allows you to access that rich, deep gaming experience on your freaking *phone*, which is another level of amazing.
The app is actively supported and updated and the developer was very responsive to me reaching out to report issues. He was very patient and helpful in resolving an issue with the server subscription, which he fixed in a couple of days after reporting it. Overall, while this is not the steam premium version on your iOS device, it is a very, very good UI for touch screens and is the only way to get access to DF on your ios device directly (ie not screen sharing). A lot of thought and effort has clearly gone into how to access game features from a remote client UI and I’m loving it!

Looking forward to the recently announced update!
I put a decent number of hours into df remote a few years ago, using it to manage my most memorable fortress (I finally discovered the vampire who turned out to be the very popular mayor … he spent many years honing his artistic talents and creating valuable artifacts, and was able to babysit annoying children sent in to visit through the airlock. DF Remote understandably lagged behind a few versions of the desktop release, but it was still a great way to have *fun*. With the Steam release and initial update to DFHack, I will be interested to try out the recently announced upgrade to this app.

Not the full game
Requires a desktop server or additional $5 per month to use. This isn’t clearly spelt out
Five Star App with a Caveat
I just learned the dev could be releasing an update sometime in the near future according to Twitter. That’s very exciting, as this really is a functional way to play DF on Mobile, and it is clearly a labor of love. My 5 star review is predicated on the fact that this will undergo continued support, as I was under the impression this had sort of become abandonware. It does have a few oddities, but with such a huge game, and it being essentially free if you have a computer, any small gripes are not worth mentioning. This app has single-handedly allowed me to ply more DF than ever before. And that is worth some kudos in my book. Excellent work! Excited for updates!

Ridiculous
3.99 for the game and then 4.99 a month to play!?!? Where is the headline for that? Would have never downloaded that game if I knew it was like this. Refund please!!!!
Was great, but abandoned
This was great back when the developer actively supported it. It seems like maybe the announcement of the steam version deterred them from working on it more? Kind of a bummer, I really liked this version but it’s insanely far behind the game now.
