Text Styling
There isn’t enough padding on the left in portrait for iPad mini or iPhone but the developer said they might add an option. I just need one or two em of space.
Also hoping for line height/spacing options.
I don’t know where the fonts come from. I didn’t have any luck adding new fonts to iOS and getting them recognized in Frotz though.Show lessDerekNickname

Are you playing on iPhone or iPad, in landscape or portrait? I'll consider adding margin adjustment options. In the mean time perhaps pinching to increase the font size may help.please allow cloud drive support
The iOS version allows iCloud Drive support, while the MacOS only allows Dropbox support. Can you please add iCloud support to the Mac version? Thank you for a great app! <3deepsoul13
this is awesome
I have been playing text adventures for over 18 years. When I first heard about this app from a really good friend of mine, I found it a little bit difficult to use. Nowadays, it's good that I have a text adventure app on my phone. I've been playing text adventures as I said for 18 or so years. I'm an avid player of interactive fiction, and I love it. I even play interactive fiction that my friends and I make up on our own. Interactive fiction has so many twists and turns, and the puzzles are great to keep the brain going. Keep the updates coming.Show lessGreek girl 86

Best way to play Zork and other Infocom/IF games
Great app. Love it for playing Zork. I love the Frotz team for giving us this ❤️IXLO
Desperately needs a dark mode.
Didn’t get to see much of what the app has to offer as it hurts my eyes too much.Jesio14
Wonderful app that could use a couple small updates
First off, let me say that Frotz has given me hours of enjoyment delving into so many different worlds created by the IF authors, and I’m so grateful to be able to experience all the creativity through it. There’s only two minor things keeping me from giving it a full five stars, one of which is lately there’s been a bug when I download a game it shows in my library, but with a stock image icon instead of the game’s own icon. This seems to happen when the game is in a zip file. The other thing is that I’d like to have a way to sort through games in the library other than the search bar, preferably a folder system that you can drop games into (make them your own based on type, progress, etc.)
Aside from that, this app is wonderful, and keep up the good work!Show lessfritzfratzfrotz
Old school greatness
It’s hard to imagine a better platform for playing IF on my iPad.broadsidetom
Terriffic
All the good none of the bad. The in-game browser for the IFDB is great. And you can add to the story library directly from there. Or by downloading and adding .z3 right from the files app. Like the notes and autocomplete. Haven't seen how to scroll through previous commands? No matter, it's great,XnicknameX
Developer Response
Thanks for the review. Sorry, just noticed your last sentence is sort of a question. You actually can pull up a menu of previous commands by double tapping the command line, but it only works for the current session.Active line always just below viewable screen
Seems like a great emulator but the active line for typing is always just below the viewable screen on my iPad Pro. I need to scroll up to see it and then it goes away once released. Would give 5 stars but for this bug.SwellGuy88

I’ve only ever seen this happen very intermittently due to animation timing glitches, never all the time. Does rotating to landscape and back affect it? Please file a bug report here: https://github.com/ifrotz/iosfrotz/issues and please mention which specific story/game you are playing and include a screenshot if possible. Thanks.
