We want a french version on IOS!!! ### 4/5 — 4 stars because cannot play offline *2025-07-06* 4 stars because cannot play offline The game is fun and enjoyable. ### 2/5 — Great game, however.. *2024-04-10* Initially, the game is a pound for the first case. Then you have to pay £15+ for the other cases! Was not made clear in description, may as well just buy a hard copy of the game and play it on DS. ### 4/5 — Error occurs *2023-12-16* The "back" button disappeared and can't go back from the investigation scene.. I think it'a an error. Please fix. I'm totally stuck. ### 1/5 — Thieves TOTAL RIP OFF *2023-03-21, version 1.00.01* So many Ace Attorney games are not allowing reviews, the full series package which is currently £17.99 and includes 3 titles is one of them. I’ve actually purchased this a few years ago at a similar cost, now it’s disappeared off the app stores and is no longer being updated or even works correctly on my iPad. It’s obviously - like some other companies - that they delete the old app and reintroduced a new one exactly the same just to profit off people, and this means if you have previously purchased this package, you cannot ‘restore purchase’ as it’s been added as a different app. SUCH A TOTAL RIP OFF ### 4/5 — Really good but there’s one issue *2023-01-09, version 1.00.01* Great game but there’s something if found out As you beat the first episode you would want to buy more episodes but I found out something strange.. I looked at the prices and found at that the price for all the episodes IS CHEAPER All episodes separated are £4.49 and for the episode bundle it’s £12.99 Then I realised that all the episodes separated are the price of £18.96 ### 2/5 — Great game, but you have to pay for episodes?!?! *2022-12-18* When I brought this game, I was expecting the full thing. But no. You have to pay £4.49 for each episode?!?! ### 4/5 — Horrible port of a great game *2022-12-02* The port is so bad it froze while saving and deleted my save data twice. And of course each time my save got deleted it was at the end of a case. Ace attorney and the fans deserves a much better port than this garbage. I would give this a one star but the game itself prevents me from doing so. Do better Capcom. ### 3/5 — Miles edgeworth *2022-10-03* I brought this looking forward learned how to connect to the tv but this game doesn’t work on the tv it just doesn’t show up please fix this. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-09-23, version 1.00.01* Been one of my favorites since I was small ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only a part of the game *2026-01-18, version 1.00.03* Nothing in the description of this app or its title tells the truth. This is ONLY ONE EPISODE of the game that it’s titled after. To unlock additional episodes, it’s an additional 5 dollars per episode. Absolutely not transparent about what’s included. ### 1/5 — You should mention in the description that you have to pay $15 to get episodes 2-5. *2025-08-22, version 1.00.03* I’m sure the game is great, but it’s misleading to have us pay for a game that’s incomplete. You should just sell the app for 15 dollars upfront with all episodes unlocked. ### 1/5 — Pas de version française *2024-10-29* Bonjour aux développeurs et éditeurs, pourriez-vous proposer une version francophone de cette magnifique suite d’Ace Attorney Investigations s’il-vous-plaît ? Cordialement Hello developers and publishers, could you please offer a French version of this magnificent suite of Ace Attorney Investigations? Best’s Regards ### 1/5 — 0/10 made me GAY!!! *2024-04-01, version 1.00.01* I'm a girl and the second I laid eyes on Miles edgeworth my desire for men EVAPORATED! ### 1/5 — Misleading! *2024-04-01* 99p is only for the first case which is essentially the game’s tutorial. It’s then £4.99 on top for each case. Not made clear at all in description - would refund if I could!! ### 1/5 — Episodes *2024-03-10* When I bought the game I thought I was getting a full game but u need to buy the episodes, make that more clear when people buy it!!!! ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-01-22* The initial purchase only covers the first chapter, which is the tutorial episode. There was no indication that the game would be sold broken in pieces. Modern day scam. ### 1/5 — Not the full game *2024-01-07* As some people have mentioned here, there are additional purchases required in order to play the full game. The initial price is misleading and will only get you the first episode. In order to unlock the other 4 episodes, an additional $15 is needed. I would have no problem with this if they had mentioned it anywhere, but this information was neither in the description nor in the preview images/videos. Very misleading. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-12-07, version 1.00.01* I have played multiple games in this series. I used to have it on my old device the original phoenix wright games it cost me £3. Now I’ve just paid 99p to download the app then they wanted a further 14.99 to play. It needs to state that because I reckon people are paying the 99p then delete if the app then they are basically getting 99p for free. I know it only 99p but come on it adds up ### 1/5 — App refuse to launch after paying for every episode *2023-05-21* Purchased the whole game on my iPad which automatically download on my iPhone, tried to open the game on my iPhone which requested I pay again for the game I purchased. Now the app won’t open on my iPad nor my iPhone. Amazing to pay 18$ for a game that won’t open and try to make you pay several time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 역전검사2도 얼른 출시해주세요 앱스토어에 *2026-06-27* 기다리는 중입니다 역전검사2도 얼른 출시해주세요 이곳 앱스토어에 ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2025-10-07* What an amazing game. Most certainly a worthy alternative to the Phoenix Wright collection. I just wish that the second set of Ace Attorney Investigations episodes were available to purchase on the App Store. ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME, NOW GIVE US THE SECOND *2024-08-06* i know the collection is releasing soon with this game plus the official translation of the second one but, I NEED IT ON MOBILE !!!! IM TOO BROKE TO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE
