### 4/5 — Apollo justice 🥹🥹🥹🤤🤤🥰i love him

*2026-01-30, version 1.00.08*

Apollo justice🥰🥰🥰🥰 is so cool but for some reason the volume was a bit difficult to figure out ☹️

### 4/5 — pretty good except costumes

*2024-02-06, version 1.00.08*

I got all my purchases, wasn’t scammed idk what yall are talking abt. this costume bull is maddening. 1 dollar for a menu i cant open? that’s real dumb. I have no idea why this happened, clearly they can fix this since SOJ does not have this issue. Overall, this is a really good game, would buy again

### 4/5 — Controller Support

*2024-01-05, version 1.00.08*

This is the best game I ever played but this game need controller support

### 4/5 — Costumes don’t work

*2023-05-12, version 1.00.08*

When you complete the DLC case, you unlock a costume for Phoenix… or you’re supposed to. Thing is, the game crashes whenever I attempt to open the costume menu. I’d consider buying the costumes for this game and spirit of justice, but I don’t want to risk it.

### 4/5 — Great game, but one bug.

*2023-02-20, version 1.00.08*

The game itself was great! It was fun and the music is catchy. However, there is one bug in the DLC, After completing Turnabout  Reclaimed, you get access to Phoenix’s Nostalgic Sweater in the costume menu, but after I got it, I was unable to go back into the costume menu. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Bugs?

*2023-01-23, version 1.00.08*

I normally don’t write a review on an app... But as a lover of AA, I had to. Basically every time you go on the app, only a part of the display is shown like it’s cut or something. The rest of the screen is pitch black and doesn’t have touch sensibility. Pls help it fix this…

### 3/5 — Buggy in iOS 16 but still fun!

*2022-10-09, version 1.00.08*

If you are running ios16, it’s going to be a bit buggy. It will freeze every so often. One thing that has helped is playing another episode in a different save file for a bit. It somehow makes the frozen one works. 

Otherwise it’s a fun game!

### 4/5 — Costumes crashing

*2022-08-23, version 1.00.08*

Help, I finished the bonus case and got a sweater, and now it crashes whenever I try to view costumes!

### 4/5 — Attention son

*2022-04-29*

Très peu jeu, peut être un peu cher en version complète. Attention, il y a du son mais seulement avec des écouteurs, rien dans les haut parleurs de l’IPhone…

### 5/5 — Backbone

*2022-02-05, version 1.00.08*

Back bone support

### 4/5 — I love these silly games!! but mildly buggy

*2021-12-29, version 1.00.08*

Look these games are charming as hell—although I kinda miss the game play of the OG trilogy—but two things on iOS 15.2:
- the audio cuts out occasionally when swapping between apps and most frequently when resuming game after screen time limits. (I’m an adult and I can play my game 17 more times after the screen time alert if I want :p)
- costumes DLC won’t load & it crashes the game.

Otherwise 9/10 will keep playing goofy game.

### 5/5 — resident evil

*2021-12-07, version 1.00.08*

I really hope the Capcom can relaunch the Resident Evil，I really like it！！！Please let me enjoy it on my iPhone again！！！

### 4/5 — Worked perfectly, except for costume DLC

*2021-09-20, version 1.00.08*

Since I got back into this series and decided to try out the iOS ports, I thought I should write a review for these games (seeing all the negative ones made me nervous). This one worked perfectly and I had zero issues with anything, until I finished the DLC case and unlocked a costume. The game crashes every time I try to access the costumes menu. Luckily, I didn’t buy the costumes DLC anyway because I didn’t really care to, so I recommend not bothering with that. The rest of the game is totally fine!

If it matters, I played this on a 7th generation iPad (10.5), fully updated to 14.7.

### 5/5 — Very strong entry to the Ace Attorney series.

*2021-08-22, version 1.00.08*

This game really made me feel like I was truly there and truly helping the characters get through some major hardships to succeed in their career in law.

None of the cases felt like an incredible amount of filler, they just provided a break from the really heavy over-arching plot of the game.

The best aspects of this game was definitely the fourth and fifth cases, as they led on from each other directly and really allowed the player to feel like they had a massive mystery to solve.

My only complaint would be the fact that three attorneys (and playable characters) may prove to be a challenge to handle in future games; some characters may have less screen time. Obviously since Athena Cykes was the new defense attorney at the Wright Anything Agency, there was lots of screen time for her, but in later games how will the balance be maintained?

I definitely recommend buying this game if you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney series. If you’re starting with this game, that isn’t a problem, you just may feel like some characters aren’t given enough screen time or don’t prove to be significant. I 100% recommend playing from the first game onwards, as you get the most out of the story.

### 4/5 — Verschlechterte Grafik, jedoch gute Story

*2021-05-26*

Damals spielte ich das Spiel für das iPhone 6 und die Grafik sah für diese Verhältnisse ziemlich gut aus. Jedoch nach einem Update verschlechterte sich die Grafik (vielleicht durch eine unscharfe Skalierung). Ich besitze nun ein iPhone XR und es ist noch unscharf.

Jedoch trotz dieses Mangels habe ich die Story genossen und mir gefiel sie sehr!

### 5/5 — Pls fix costume bug

*2021-05-25, version 1.00.08*

That’s all I actually really wanted to say but game is amazing btw

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-06-27, version 1.00.08*

Purchases unable to be restored. Cannot recommend you play as it is unless Capcom update it

### 1/5 — Capcom charges for demo

*2025-02-19, version 1.00.08*

This game costs money for the same amount of content as the free demo that was on the Nintendo eshop. The rest of the game is locked behind in-app purchases

### 1/5 — No sound

*2024-02-19, version 1.00.08*

Tried to play this on iOS 17.2.1 and none of the sound worked. Useless.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2023-07-04, version 1.00.08*

This game is a scam. They don’t warn you beforehand if it isn’t compatible with your phone and it only says it in the tiny details I’m the App Store. I’ve never had an issue with a game being compatible with my phone or not because usually the App Store says something. But once you get the game you won’t get a refund if it doesn’t work so save your money for something better than this.

### 1/5 — Bad updates

*2021-05-17, version 1.00.08*

1.00.08 is just as garbage as 1.00.07 in the exact same ways. They fixed nothing. Don't bother updating. (This is easily the worst game in the series, anyway, so you won't miss anything by skipping it.)
-
Old review:
If you’re still running v1.00.06 or earlier DON’T install v1.00.07. The update makes the game look noticeably worse (some text is completely unreadable now) and it makes Phoenix’s unlockable costume crash the game.

### 1/5 — Can’t play the game

*2021-05-01, version 1.00.07*

The game won’t let you play it even after you pay for it. Try many things but it still won’t work.. 
  They haven’t fixed the problem even after  
2 years. It shows you how much they care.
( it’s free money for them)

### 1/5 — Restore broke

*2021-05-01*

Habe damals das komplett Paket gekauft. Wollte wieder anfangen zu spielen, drücke auf restore und nichts passiert. Sehe es nicht ein wieder knapp 40€ für alle kapitel zu bezahlen. (Beim neustem Teil ist es genausi, alles gekauft, soll aber wieder kaufen)

### 1/5 — Don’t buy or download

*2021-04-13, version 1.00.07*

I downloaded this game. For only one episode to work. You contact Capcom and they give you some lame general statement and that to “buy” a device that it’s compatible to. Update your fluffing game

### 1/5 — Purchase Content

*2021-02-05, version 1.00.07*

I’ve now purchased This content twice. This app falsely offers a “restore” option. Even after pressing that option it continuously stated Failed to restore. So... in an effort to finish the game I went ahead and purchased an episode (I already owned on an older device when I purchased the whole game) only to be stopped cold with the same unable to restore message. What a rip off. I purchased this game and still have access to it on my IPhone XS Max but my current phone, the iPhone 12 Pro, is where I want to continue my journey with Phoenix Wright. I’ve been playing this game since I owned a Nintendo DS. Capcom and Apple are nickel and dimeing me for something I’ve already rightfully paid for. Crooks.

### 1/5 — IN-APP PURCHASES DO NOT WORK

*2021-01-29, version 1.00.07*

This game literally stole my money!!! I bought the main story set for $23 but I can’t access the content at all no matter how many times I restored my purchases. I tried appealing this to apple but for some unknown reason, they would not acknowledge the problem and denied me of a refund. I am very disappointed in apple and capcom. For anyone planning to buy any in-app purchases for this game, do not do it!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-06-02, version 1.00.08*

This game is great, in all senses. I’d 100% recommend anyone considering playing this to play the original trilogy first. One issue I’m having, though, is restoring purchases. It just keeps saying it failed, but it’s worked before in the past

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2026-04-12, version 1.00.08*

Emmm…
PITOOOOOO ME LO COMOOO

### 5/5 — Great game but please fix dlc costume bug

*2026-04-07, version 1.00.08*

Obtaining the nostalgic sweater corrupts the costume dlc menu and causes the game to crash when accessing now.

### 5/5 — OBJECTION!

*2026-02-16, version 1.00.08*

Got it on my 3ds and refreshing to have on phone so TAKE THAT haters lmfao

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-06-09, version 1.00.08*

I’m so glad AA has released their games for mobile devices. This was my first time playing DD and I loved it. Everything worked perfectly just like I was using a game console

### 5/5 — Great but…

*2023-06-11*

When I finished the DLC chapter it gave me an outfit, however, when I click on the costume options the app crashes and leaves (On the iPad) fix this pls…

### 5/5 — DLC costumes

*2023-02-20, version 1.00.08*

Okay so the game is really great but there's one problem . I recently finished the DLC case and u locked the costume , but whenever I try to access it it keeps crashing my game ?? Pls fix xoxo

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2022-10-24, version 1.00.08*

I see reviews complaining about technical issues with in-app purchases and sound cutting out. But I haven't had any issues with the game.

This is a great title in the Ace Attorney series. Cases are enticing and full of twists as always. The new "mood matrix" feature enables a fun way of visualizing witness testimony.

### 5/5 — Works Wonderfully on iOS15.5

*2022-06-26, version 1.00.08*

Despite the *NOTICE* that this will not work on iOS11 & past reviews, my understanding is that this was updated in May 2021. Happy to report that the game runs flawlessly and the in-app purchase for the additional chapters worked without a hitch.

### 5/5 — Apprenez l’anglais le jeu est excellent
