  • Things they need to fix and add

    BUGS

    1.Dead bodies are pilling up everywhere and guards and medic staff are not doing anything about it and they just leave it there and traffic at the roads will happen

    2. I built a mail room and I see a bunch of mails at the delivery place and guards just leave it there like my 50 inmates outside complaining

    3.When the guards arrest the prisoners they leave at one spot like at hallways and never do anything about it

    4.Riots will happen randomly for no reason

    5.Every time you expand your prison it kicks you out

    5.You also lag for no reason at all

    6.U play campaign at G.A.M.B.O u bug out

    7.Maximum prisoners complain about safety when there the prisoners

    8.You can change death row prisoners to minimum-protective custody which that is the problem

    9.Inmate nutrition research needs to be fix because low viruety does not work

    ROOMS THE GAME NEEDS TO ADD

    1.Bathroom because the prisoners keeps complaining about bladder

    THINGS THEY NEED TO ADD

    1.They need to add a prison for kids

    2.A guard that can hold a relover

    3.add female prisoners with babies

  • Able to save

    Im Still playing the free version testing the build you're own prison before I buy rather the All bundle or build your own prison alone

    Can the developers make it so maybe U could save the prison but after a few days - a week or more, erase the current prison you have and then make U start over so U don't have to keep making the same prison over and over again to just restart again?

  • Amazing, best game yet on IPad.

    It's about time we saw some 'real games' on the IPad. A full PC/console game, prison architect is super addicting, funny and a ridiculous amount of fun! Can't recommend it enough. Don't be put off by the "offers in app purchases" this is not another micro transactions crap... it's a one off fee to unlock the whole game and it's well, well worth it.

    Wish more developers would realise that people would be more than happy to pay ยฃ30+ for 'real games' like this, instead of the usual 'mobile gaming' micro transaction crap!

    Amazing work guys. I hope more developers follow in your footsteps.

  • Almost awesome.

    I bought the full unlock and except for one major problem it's amazing. The problem is that my prison that I designed and built crashed every single time I touch "new program" so I. Stuck with this prison that basically can't progress much more at all. Can't set up any education or training or counseling etc.
    real irritating. I'm using a iPad Air 2 with most recent iOS update available, I restarted and have no background apps running at all, so it can only be a bug bug in the app.
    However everything was going fine for the first several hours and were it not for this game breaking crash I'd have given 5 stars easy.

  • Good Port

    This is a very good mobile port of the Prison Architect game. The mobile port is almost exactly like the PC game and I would recommend this game to other people. There is one minor bug I have noticed, however, where the policies get reset after you save, suspend the app, and load your prison again. Slightly gameplay affecting, but it is very annoying. Maybe I am just a noob and you have to quit your prison somehow before suspending the app to prevent this. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed in the next version and maybe I will make a support ticket on the website or something. Overall, this is a good game and I have had no crashing.

  • Awesome

    This is nothing short of awesome, Prison Architect on your iPad! If you're a fan of the PC version, don't hesitate, you'll love it and probably spend way too much time on it like me. Don't be fooled, there are micro transactions to unlock the game and different scenarios, the tutorial is free, so if you're unfamiliar with PA you will get a chance to try it. In my eyes unlocking sandbox mode is well worth the ยฃโ‚ฌ$!

    The UI and inputs have changed to focus on tapping, dragging and pinching, as you'd expect from an app. And it's all done really well so there's nothing to hate from it.

    There are some occasional issues (but I'd think of them as quirks) with the game. For example I accidentally locked a door with a light above it. Now whenever I try to tap on the door, the light gets selected and the door is now a permanently locked fixture to one of my prisons.

    Running on my iPad Air 2 the game runs smooth up to about 150+ prisoners above that and the frame rate starts to dip occasionally. However that is understandable when you consider how much is going on in the prison, all running on a device in your hands!

    All in all I love this game and it's well worth a try.

  • Not compatible

    Very disappointed that they removed iPad 3 support from the game a couple of versions back, now I can't update the app and any bugs/crashes that I have won't be fixed, since there's no support for my iPad anymore. It was just after I payed for the game, and was looking forward to playing it. Now it's just a waste of money because I know that they aren't supporting the iPad 3 anymore.

  • Good Game

    I really Enjoyed this game, sure it might not be as good as the PC or PS4 Version but what can you honestly expect. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. On thing it crashes a bit and can be a bit frustrating hope you can crush those bugs fast.

    Developer Response

    Hello, we're of course working on reducing crashes. If you have information on how/when they happen it would be very helpful for us!
  • Crash

    It was a fun game and I actually enjoyed it but every no and then when it would go to save it would crash and I had to restart from the last save, and in the G.A.B.O.S level I constantly crashes and I can't progess as every time it saves it crashes and doesn't end up saving, I tried getting it so that it would t auto-save but the game crashed randomly anyway

  • Does not crash

    This game works perfectly fine without crashing on my iPad Air 2
