Though I know it can easily can with out a problem. I think it needs optimization for iPadOS 14. ### 4/5 — カイロにならなかったから残念 *2020-08-19, version 1.0.785* 性能とか測れて良いけど、iPhone 11でやったらカイロにならなかった、カイロにならなかったんで星4ですね。 ### 2/5 — No update? *2020-08-16, version 1.0.785* I can’t believe it, this is now abandonware? ### 1/5 — Don’t install! *2020-07-09, version 1.0.785* It just fails to download in iPad Pro with iOS 13. Don’t even bother trying to install it. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — No app has troubled me this much *2020-07-08, version 1.0.785* This stupid app keeps coming back to my home screen every time I delete it. The best part is it’s always greyed out so I can’t use it and it doesn’t even install. I’ve tried everything from signing out to literally resetting my iPad. This is insane. ### 1/5 — App is practically unusable *2020-06-18, version 1.0.785* This app has received no support from the developer in a while and is practically unusable at this point. Don’t waste your time downloading it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why let me install it if I can’t run the benchmark? *2026-03-12, version 1.0.1077* I’m not frustrated that I can’t run the benchmark I’m frustrated that it even let me install it. I spent like 10 minutes waiting for it to finish installing just to be told my device (an iPhone 13 mini) isn’t compatible with the benchmark. What’s even worse is the benchmark I could run was already installed with the other 3dmark app, so I waited 10 minutes just to be told to go back to the app I already had installed. Can you put a hardware restriction or something to prevent this from happening? ### 1/5 — Auf iPhone 14 Pro Max nicht nutzbar. *2023-02-19, version 1.0.1077* Bist jetzt leider nicht kompatibel. Man solle lieber auf Wildlife ausweichen heißt es. ### 1/5 — Support for new iPhones *2022-01-05, version 1.0.1077* Please add support for iPhone 13 Pro Max, I like wildlife but I like to see other scores from other apps, since wildlife doesn’t have a physics test in it at all ### 1/5 — 아이패드 에어1 *2021-02-11, version 1.0.1034* 아이패드 에어1세대인데 아이패드 4,1이라고 나오네요. 그리고 마이 디바이스에서 해상도, 프로세서, 램 아무겄도 안나오고 테스트도 안되네요 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-27, version 1.0.1010* Crashes on iPad Pro Gen3. EDIT: They got it working again but this benchmark is total bunk. Why does an A12X processor score 6035 while the A12Z processor only scores 4900. Makes no sense. This app is not optimized for these CPUs at all. Meanwhile both CPUs score almost 9900 on Wild Life. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2020-10-10, version 1.0.785* Keeps crashing on iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 14 ### 1/5 — ? *2020-08-16, version 1.0.785* no tengo ni la más mínima idea de que es lo que pasa con la aplicación, corre el benchmark pero se queda la pantalla congelada en cierto punto y se escucha como la “cinemática” sigue pero la imagen se queda congelada, esto en un iphone 11 pro 🤔🤔 ### 1/5 — 아이폰 se2 설치가 안됩니다 *2020-07-30, version 1.0.785* 다운받아지다가 첨부터 다시 다운받기시작 저상태가 계속반복 ### 1/5 — Ipad pro 11 2018에서 설치가 안됩니다 *2020-07-21, version 1.0.785* 설치가 안되고 되는듯하다가 이상하게 첨부터 다시 설치하고의 반복이네요 ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2020-07-14, version 1.0.785* Auf dem aktuellen iPad Pro 2020 funktioniert dieser Benchmark nicht. Eine Neuinstallation half Ahier nicht, der Benchmark stürzt jedes Mal an einer anderen Stelle ab. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like it *2024-04-09, version 1.0.1077* I usually use it to drain the battery and it works well! ### 5/5 — 面白いし有用なアプリです *2024-01-29, version 1.0.1077* まさか8年前のiPhone6sで普通に動くとは驚きました。 映像は完成度が高いCGです。 ### 5/5 — Best thing for iOS users *2022-05-05, version 1.0.1077* Since it has higher overall device compatibility. ### 5/5 — Highly Useful Benchmark *2021-11-06, version 1.0.1077* Thanks much ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-06-20, version 1.0.1034* Fantastic app I used it on my mi 11 ultra Its super no problem at all ### 5/5 — Update! *2020-11-18, version 1.0.1032* Update the app for iOS 13 and 14 because I get a lot of lag spikes and the app freezes and then closes randomly ### 5/5 — そんなに暑くはならなかっら以外に *2020-10-28, version 1.0.1010* 試しに数年使っている携帯のベンチマークお測ってみたら案外暑くなりませんでしたこれは携帯の性能とかの違いですかね？ ### 5/5 — Ipad 8th generation A12 *2020-10-22, version 1.0.785* My ipad 8 got a score of 4089 better then the iphone 11 and iphone se, xr got 3500 which has the same processor as ipad 8. I do love this ipad tho ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2020-09-14, version 1.0.785* Benutze es als Hände wärmer ### 5/5 — Too stressful *2020-08-21, version 1.0.785* Completely breaks the iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 with the latest update. It can’t even finish the test without crashing and causing major slow down! It would be nice to see a result though. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
