Can y'all double check ### 3/5 — Best FF ever, BUT… *2026-07-14, version 1.0.7* Been playing this since it first released on the ps. Loved it every time I’ve played thru, with one exception. The INTERMINABLE cut scenes, hours wasted wishing for a “skip scene” option that never shows up. If/when that happens it would be better than 5 stars. With the enormously frustrating waste of play time, it gets 3. DEVS- can we get that fix put in?? You’re still updating, so how about a “skip scene” or fast forward option?? ### 4/5 — A True Classic… *2026-07-11, version 1.0.7* The iPhone version could use an update on its screen resolution though… ### 3/5 — Glitz *2026-06-30, version 1.0.7* THERE IS A BUG!!!!!!! It closed out the came TWICE almost $20 game for a bug! ### 3/5 — Last update made the screen smaller? *2026-06-28, version 1.0.7* Seriously. It was already really small. Give us a zoom function. ### 4/5 — Issues after bug fix *2026-06-28, version 1.0.7* I was getting back into playing this game after a while, when I noticed that it started running noticeably slower, and a black box had appeared around the perimeter of the screen while zooming the screen out slightly. The box I don’t mind too much, but the lag is very noticeable and really hinders the game right now. While looking for ways to resolve this issue, I noticed a bug fix had been made two days ago, exactly when these issues began to occur. I’m almost positive that whatever was changed in the bug fixes is the cause for this lag, and I am hoping it gets resolved swiftly. ### 4/5 — Lil Buggy *2026-05-01, version 1.0.5* I played through the entire game with max stats. I noticed multiple bugs such as opening the menu at a screen change stops it from going to the next location, the sound double confirming one tap, randomly disappearing and needing to restart the game at gold saucer. However everything else about the game is perfect and runs like the OG. I ran into trouble trying to get the final attack materia at the battle square, but learned if you re-press max stats with all the requirements I was able to do the special battles at battle square. If this game got an update fixing these bugs it would be a 10/10 ### 4/5 — Please fix *2026-04-28, version 1.0.5* There’s an issue with auto selecting equipment, and auto casting spells in battle ### 4/5 — Screen sensitivity *2026-04-22* I have an IPhone 16. Overall, the game play works well. However, the screen sensitivity is maddening at times. This problem is almost entirely evident during battles, when characters take actions not intended by the player, like attacking when not intended, casting the the first magic spell, or using the first item at the top of your item inventory. The issue also prevents you from obtaining Vincent due to the sensitivity of the dial on the strong box in the mansion. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-24, version 1.0.5* The game is in a broken state and has been for at least a year. When you hit the ‘a’/‘x’ button, the game auto selects 3-4 times. You have no control over combat. ### 1/5 — ASPECT RATIO UPDATE FOR NEWER DEVICES FOR GOD’s SAKE. *2026-02-28* Please guys every other ff game here has been updated. What’s taking you so long????? The game hasn't been updated for 10 years ### 1/5 — Unplayable - bug *2026-02-28, version 1.0.5* Input bug registers A button multiple times. Makes battles impossible as just takes all your teams gos for you. Support has said no timeline on when it’ll be fixed ### 3/5 — controller support not very good *2026-02-13, version 1.0.5* no option to rebind controls ### 1/5 — Still no fix for the self pressing buttons *2026-02-04, version 1.0.5* While the port is very good and graphics are polished, there is a big issue where during battles the x/a button will press by itself and will cause you characters to execute commands on their own. This is not present when using controller but the point of having it on the phone is to not carry more items to play the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy this on IOS *2026-08-04, version 1.0.7* There is an issue with this game where if you select an action in combat it automatically double/triple selects your action making it unplayable. I worked with support and their solution was to uninstall and reinstall. This worked for about a minute before the issue returned. Support had no other solutions and said they couldn’t refund me. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit over this, as everyone who purchased this game on iPhone or iPad has not gotten what they paid for. ### 1/5 — Buggy glitch *2026-08-02, version 1.0.7* You have been warned, save before cosmo canyon and make a new saving cosmo canyon because your buggy may be glitched to the cliff. Locked in position you will sit and spin and unless you have that back up save, you bricked your game. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-23, version 1.0.7* The game itself is great, the port not so much. On screen buttons are Xbox layout only, which makes zero sense as this game was originally released on the PlayStation, as was the hd remaster (ps4). So why would someone who originally played it on those systems with PlayStation controller, with PlayStation button layouts, enjoy playing this with Xbox controls??? How did Square Enix fail to grasp that developed muscle memory/ and or habits from using PlayStation controllers is hard to unlearn? I don’t know the difference between an Xbox “A” button and an Xbox “Y” button, let alone the rest of an Xbox controller layout! This isn’t a Microsoft exclusive game, so why isn’t there a PlayStation button layouts included in the options? ### 1/5 — Do not buy! *2026-07-04, version 1.0.7* The game ends when you have to bring back the girl with cpr. No matter how long you try it will not work! Don’t listen to bots talk about numbers either cause you don’t get any numbers it’s just a bar that you have to eye level it. I’m guessing in the ps version there were numbers but not this. You’re literally swinging in the dark on this. ### 1/5 — Very buggy in latest update *2026-06-26, version 1.0.7* In the latest update, the screen is reduced in size and smaller than full screen, holding buttons no longer causes them to repeat (so if you want to quickly attack by holding down A, it doesn’t work), there is some noticeable slowness and stutter, and there seem to be quite a few instances of dropped inputs. It’s a great game but a bunch of issues were introduced. ### 1/5 — Controller issues *2026-05-17, version 1.0.5* When paired with a controller the left analog stick moves cloud in a rectangular direction when trying to move in any direction. I have to use the dpad but its clunky. Better off playing the steam version or using a rom. Sad bug. ### 1/5 — Nice game *2026-05-10, version 1.0.5* Wished I could play this game all the way through but there are to many bugs in this game to play on iPhone 15 pro max. ### 1/5 — Battle glitch *2026-05-09, version 1.0.5* The game keeps glitching where the A button is auto selected during battle ### 1/5 — Button problem destroyed the game *2026-03-30, version 1.0.5* FF7 is one of my favorite games and I like playing it every couple of years. I was pumped that I could play it on my phone but it’s become utterly unplayable due to the controls automatically hitting a button 4 or 5 times in battle. So frustrating. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME. ### 1/5 — Controls *2026-03-26, version 1.0.5* Can’t get passed Aeriths room! The control won’t let me slow walk! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2026-07-18, version 1.0.7* I’ve played this game since 97’ still Jane my original copy On my ps1, final fantasy will always be number 1 ### 5/5 — One of the Best JRPGs Ever! *2026-06-10, version 1.0.5* This is a great version of one of the best JRPGs ever made. The PS1 Final Fantasy games are worth the money and then some. Great story, characters, turn-based battles, and music. Lots of great features in this version. Battery doesn’t get hot. Can run in the background all day on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Surprised me *2026-05-30, version 1.0.5* This game has controller support and it’s great playing it on the go. I love this game even after all these years ### 5/5 — Schleichen geht doch *2026-04-05* In einer anderen Rezension steht, Schleichen gehe nicht und das Spiel sei deshalb nicht spielbar. Das stimmt aber nicht: Ab und zu schaltet sich die Steuerung auf digital um (Pfeiltasten-Steuerung). Man muss „D“ drücken (neben der „Zufallskämpfe aus“-Schaltfläche), um mit dem Analog-Pad genauer zu steuern. Wenn man dann „B“ gedrückt hält und das virtuelle Analog-Pad auf der linken Seite des Displays dabei gleichzeitig verwendet, geht Cloud langsam. Ich hätte das Spiel wegen besagter Rezension beinahe nicht gekauft, war dann aber neugierig, ob wirklich so ein fataler Bug im Spiel ist und hätte es bestätigt, würde es stimmen. Aber es stimmt wie gesagt nicht. ### 5/5 — 8 bucks…the good kind *2026-03-19, version 1.0.5* This game is amazing on iOS. I only wish it was downloadable on my Apple TV 4K as well. I was hesitant to purchase it originally but I do not have a single regret. Love this version ### 5/5 — Still great *2026-01-27, version 1.0.5* I forgot I bought it. Great to be able to play it anywhere ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2025-12-16, version 1.0.5* Everything I ever loved growing up is in this game. Such a wonderful throwback. Wish they made FFX over the phone ### 5/5 — Great on iPad (battery etc) *2025-12-11, version 1.0.5* One of the most beloved & written about single-player games of all time, deeply written and brilliantly constructed, this techno-dystopian makes you wonder, “is this where we are headed?”… But putting that aside - the battery performance on this port is phenomenal. Somehow the game doesn’t run out the battery even after multiple hours, makes you wonder about other games even from the same era. Probably the rendering or something, dunno. Get this if you haven’t played it yet and love the series. Cheers ### 5/5 — this game is so good that I have this installed on all my systems *2025-11-18, version 1.0.5* only problem for this that I have is that I wish you would give this full screen support for newer ios devices ### 5/5 — Final Fantasy VII *2025-06-23* Mit diesem Spiel habe ich viele Stunden vor Sony PS1 Konsole gespielt. Bis heute einer der besten Spiele die ich gespielt hab. Ein muss für RPG JRPG Liebhaber. Klasse Story, tolle Charaktere. Mit verbundenen Bluetooth Controller sehr angenehm zu spielen. Eine Bitte an die Entwickler: Ich spiele auf dem iPhone 13. bitte Bildschirm anpassen vielen Dank ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
