Beware this mobile version: when you hold-tap the bottom right virtual joystick anything underneath it is prioritised. It means that if you have a tree there, you go chop it, if there is a creature, you attack it -> and it and its friends will immediately kill you. But all you really want is to just use the bloody joystick. I died so many times because of this, it’s so easy to reproduce, so easy to fix but so terrible as a flaw. Would be 5 star otherwise. ### 4/5 — bug *2026-06-19, version 1.47* Recently, freezes and crashes have been occurring very frequently. Sometimes, after playing for a long time, the game will suddenly freeze, and the game save data has not been saved. This can lead to a lot of wasted time and greatly affects one’s mood. ### 4/5 — Backpack BUG *2026-05-18, version 1.47* A weird BUG that if you got a backpack you couldn’t move what’s in it, causing a trouble of limiting inventory ### 3/5 — Норм *2026-05-09, version 1.47* Но хотелось бы играть с другом ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-05-03, version 1.47* Runs very smooth on newer iPads and iPhones. If you dont like using the IPad controls the Xbox/ps controllers work amazing just like playing on the consoles! Only bugs I’ve found that need fixing are overheating sometime you have what you need to cool down and it seems to not register for a little. Also a bug where if you get hit while exiting the caves or entering the game will not work any more. Please fix at least the bug from getting it while exiting/entering caves!! ### 4/5 — Don’t starve together *2026-04-17, version 1.47* This is such a good game. Only criticism is that you can’t play don’t starve together on iPad. I don’t understand? Be awesome if you could sort that. Also need to fix joystick control so you can’t interact with items underneath. This has killed me so many times in adventure mode because I can’t move away from a threat I am considering abandoning the game together because I’m so frustrated. ### 2/5 — Online *2026-03-29, version 1.47* I really want to play online, but this chip is not there... ### 4/5 — Je ne sais pas quoi en penser *2026-03-29* Cette version n’a rien à envier à la version pc, il existe même quelques avantages. Mais qu’il est dur ce jeu, surtout avec les contrôles, il ne pardonne rien. Le sentiment d’insécurité est totale attention à vous vous risquez de balancer votre iPhone. Le genre de jeu avec une durée de vie infini, toujours des choses à faire. C’est un bon jeu, mais globalement je reproche les contrôles et le manque d’information. Surtout sur mobile ou on ne voit pas le nom des objets pour craft. Si vous avez envie d’aventure, et que vous êtes fan de jeu compliqué et difficile, c’est le bon. Même le pire mode enfer de ton mode enfer n’est pas aussi difficile. ### 3/5 — Games AMAZING just add ONLINE CO-OP *2026-03-18, version 1.47* I love all the futures about the game; only thing I wish they have added is an online co-op game I’ve seen so many videos of people having fun on this game on computer with friends but the phone edition does not have this unfortunately. I believe lots of people would feel more into this game if there was an online feature where you join with a code or something within those lines. In all regards tho this game is really fun would be a 5/5 with online features but regardless is a 5/5 game😎(PLEASE ADD MULTIPLAYER) ### 4/5 — Настройки мира *2026-03-07, version 1.47* У меня нет возможности играть на ПК и играть на iphone или ipad моя большая радость !!!!! Но если в dlc: shipwrecked можно настроить мир, то тут нет (((( очень жаль. Исправьте пожалуйста и будет просто замечательно 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 2/5 — Flou *2026-02-21* Très flou sur un iPad pro, en particulier les visages des personnages. ### 3/5 — Вылетает игра *2026-02-04, version 1.47* Пожалуйста обновите игру( ### 4/5 — so sad klei stop update pe version *2026-01-17, version 1.47* I’ve played pe for years, also together for pc, I like both games,but Klein stop updating pe since 3years ago, I hope klei can add cave reset item and mods ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updated *2026-08-14, version 1.47* Hey this updated the game ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-29, version 1.47* Управление ведением пальца по экрану очень не удобно. + иногда оно слетает и персонаж идет на касание пальца бесповоротно. Управление с джойстика тоже плохое и статичное. Очень неудобно скидывать предметы и взаимодействовать с ними в инвентаре. ### 1/5 — M4 iPad “not compatible” *2026-06-27, version 1.47* It says, when I first boot in, that my device isn’t supported and is put in compatibility mode, and it lowers the resolution and makes it look terrible. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-06-18, version 1.47* The game crashes before I even get into the loading screen. ### 1/5 — App Did Not Work *2026-06-10, version 1.47* App didn’t even work. Waste of money ### 1/5 — 版本极度落后，无人维护 *2026-05-24, version 1.47* 不要有人再上当受骗了 ### 1/5 — зачем выпускать игру, если вы ее нормально не оптимизировали *2026-03-25, version 1.47* играю на своих настройках мира сначала играла и у меня постоянно пропадал джойстик с экрана потом начала играть за нового персонажа, так же сделала свои настройки мира, которые были в прошлый раз, начинаю играть и сразу баги, когда рубишь деревья зажимаешь кнопку и перс перестаёт рубить, приходится нажимать много раз, когда перезаходишь в игру, выдает предупреждение, что я создала слишком сложный мир у меня айфон 17 ### 1/5 — 操作性悪い *2026-03-21* Apple Arcadeで確認した後にこれを購入したけど、ボタンの大きさが全く違ってiPad miniでやりにくい！ アーケードでは問題なくできていた なぜ仕様が違うのか？アーケード向けに操作性上げたなら、これも同じにして欲しい iPad Airで10年くらいやっていたゲームなので残念 ### 1/5 — 持ち物が全て消えました *2026-02-24* 洞窟で死んでアイテムを取り戻そうと死んで場所に行ったらアイテムが全て消えていたんですけどどういうことですか？グランパスの袋や緑のジェム全て消えたんですけどどうしてくれるんですか？ ### 1/5 — Keeps reverting back after saving. *2025-11-28, version 1.47* When it works, I love this game. However, over the last month I’ve noticed that it’s developed an error where after you save sometimes and then log back into your game it puts you back a couple “days” in your game. This error happens randomly and I’ve been watching for it. And making sure that it’s not because of something like my phone powered off or I clicked out of the game without saving I’ve been being and this issue still keeps happening. It’s incredibly frustrating because you spend a lot of time building things out on this game parts of your progress will just get completely wiped out so it’s getting harder and harder to be excited about this game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ADD A DROP BUTTON!!!! *2026-07-09, version 1.47* If youre gonna have drag and drop DROP IT ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2026-06-23, version 1.47* i‘m Chinese people I love the game ### 5/5 — 设计师你还在吗 *2026-06-21, version 1.47* 这游戏为什么不更新了？ ### 5/5 — It awesome and amazing but pls make “don’t starve together” on IOS *2026-05-04, version 1.47* Pls make don’t starve together and pls make it under $40 or equal $40 ### 5/5 — Good game but theres a bug *2026-04-28, version 1.47* 10/10 game, but Wagstaff is missing. There’s also a bug where it wont let me open it, it just crashes. Might just be my phone but please look into it I love this game so much!!! Can’t wait for DSE ### 5/5 — Really good game however has some issues *2026-03-30, version 1.47* The game is amazing and feels almost exactly like the pc/console version but there are a couple of issues the joystick gets stuck examining trees and I cannot move really big birds spawn and glide around they do not interact with you however but it’s really odd aside from that it’s really good ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-03-15, version 1.47* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Отлично 👍🏼 *2026-01-10, version 1.47* Отлично 10/10 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-04, version 1.47* Great game minor bug issues here and there but overall great. ### 5/5 — Hamlet? *2026-01-03, version 1.47* It’s a fantastic game but I wish it had Hamlet but it’s still so awesome that I have put 5 star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
