### 4/5 — So

*2023-10-10*

The game is pretty good, except just add for naff three and all the other levels

### 4/5 — Pls add this.

*2023-07-02*

I really like the game but can you pls add coins on mobile and iPad.

### 4/5 — It won't open

*2022-12-25*

I've played it before, and I loved it. The only problem I had was the plushbaby levels, they are ridiculously hard on mobile.

But on iOS 16 it won't open! I don't know if it's just the recent change in phone model, but I'm using the iPhone 12 on iOS 16.2. The game ran fine on my old iPhone 7 running 1.15.

I think it's the same story as geometry dash and 1.15, though. So unless the devs just add a patch, or the game sorts itself out, there will be no more Help Wanted for iPhone users with 1.16.

### 4/5 — Has been fun but stopped playing on tablet

*2022-12-23, version 1.0.6*

The game is been really fun but I’m stop playing on my tablet for a while and that’s what this game has been on and I just started up on playing on my tablet again and when I went to go onto the app called out so I checked to see if they need an update now. See if I needed my tablet an update. Nope even restarted the game I mean system but now when work now I’m doing some of the apps on my tablet. I don’t know what’s going on that game is awesome. Keep working on his good work. Keep up on the good work. I can’t talk today but you’re awesome Scott, please give an update to the game soon. Need it a lot

### 4/5 — STEEL WOOL GAMES THERE IS A BUG

*2022-12-16, version 1.0.6*

I am rating this game 4 stars because I have played before on a friends phone and I loved it. so recently I decided to purchace this. when it finished downlaoding i clicked on the game and it showed a black screen for a few seconds and then it kicked me out. I have tried everything to fix this. I have reset my phone, reset the app, deleted other things from my phone for more storage, etc. I dont know what else to do to fix this and the same issue has occurred for other people. I think this is a bug and I really hope you guys will fix it soon, I look forward to playing this game.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t even let me play the game

*2022-10-29, version 1.0.6*

When I downloaded this game on my iPhone 7, it worked. And it was such a good game. But for some reason it didn’t work on my iPhone SE 1st gen. I thought it was because it was an old phone. But recently, I got the iPhone SE 3rd gen, and when i redownloaded this game, it doesn’t let me open the app. So I asked for help on the Apple support iMessage and they said that it was the app’s fault for not supporting the SE lineup and that it needs an update. It’s such a good game, don’t get me wrong (that’s y I made it 5 stars) but it needs an update for the SE capacity.

### 5/5 — Great game for fans!

*2022-07-14, version 1.0.6*

So for a mobile port of Fnaf VR, this isn’t too bad. Minus some of the missing mini games. But overall, this was fun to play! Each category I first saw after I installed the game, filled me with excitement more, and more! As soon as I got in the Fnaf 1 office, I already knew this would be great! Sadly though, there are no Faz- Coins to collect, but hey! We got princess quest! Anyway, after a few moments of playing, things got pretty intense, the nights became harder and harder, and with nightmare mode here, you could definitely consider it custom night. Besides the fact you don’t get to customize any of them. Since Golden Freddy wasn’t in any of the minigames, I think it would’ve been a good idea to add him to nightmare mode, to add to the complexity. Moving on to Fnaf 2 ! There’s really not much to say about this one, but I’ll say at least something. ( This is becoming longer than Mr Hippo’s UCN voice line!) For starters, the first night is pretty easy and short. Easier than The night one of Fnaf 1. And a weird thing kept appearing in the office for A split second. It looked like Withered Freddy floating and leaning towards me. But I’m sure that was just a glitch that slipped through the cracks. And then there  were the other nights and all that jazz. Sadly, I’m ending the review here since it’s become way too long. I hope everybody has a great rest of your day, and I’ll see you on the flip side. ;) (Thank you Scott)

### 5/5 — Bonnie is Back and angrier too!!!!!!

*2022-05-10*

So Imagine Your In a rabbit gods house and He and his friends are hunting you! Shut the door to stop him and Chica jumpscareing You…. Make sure Your power isn’t low or Bonnies creepiest friend freddy fazbear will attack……also you can’t Beat toy Chica in Nightmare Mode Because The The stupid light power is low anyway “Welcome to Bonnie bunny’s it’s your time…to beat The rabbit and leave this place behind Your Brain is felling mangled the end is out of site but if you hold on longer…you might survive the Nights!" My fnaf 2 withered night song…….Just where’s curse of dreadbear and fnaf 3??????

### 5/5 — Overall it’s good but…

*2022-04-03, version 1.0.6*

Everything is great and all but what I don’t get is that u avoided FNAF 3 but out all the other FNAF games in there and can u add more night terror levels bc I get that it’s for mobile but I wanna like have more night terror,vent repair,and more repairing animatronics bc it would be more fun to have them and I do enjoy the game but like I want more levels like in HW in VR bc isn’t suppose to be just like the game that is on a different  device for mobiles games..?Anyways I do enjoy the game it’s just that u need to add more levels like add FNAF 3 in there u literally put FNAF 1,2,and everything else but u avoided FNAF 3….So can u add more levels to the game please?

### 5/5 — Cool jeux

*2022-02-24*

C’est vraiment un bon jeux je trouve que pour se prix il aurais mieux mettre plus de mode comme sur pc mais sinon le jeux est bien fait et on a du fun dessu

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-02-12, version 1.0.6*

This game is great and I’ve been playing it for years. I love how the game modes are combined into one app then before when you have to spend 3 dollars for each game mode.       Especially when they added extra game modes. I also love how they added extra stuff like prizes and other things. One more thing though, I don’t know if this meant to happen but in fnaf 1, when I have the door closed and I turn on the light, it makes that intense sound but I don’t see Bonnie or anything to indicate Bonny. Like I said I don’t know if this is meant to happen or if it’s a glitch. Anyways if it’s a glitch may you please fix it or if it’s not then you don’t have to because of this comment. Anyways I love the game and it’s a great game.

### 4/5 — Why is there no fnaf 3?

*2022-02-08*

It’s weird that we need to unlock in the vr but It does it for us and i want u to get fnaf 3 can we unlock the nights so we need to win them because i keep saying “Why are they not getting fnaf 3?” “why not” And please add fnaf 3 and make us unlock the chapter

### 5/5 — I love the game but would like to talk about something else

*2022-01-04, version 1.0.6*

This game is great and for all those wimps who couldn’t beat foxy guess who did! It’s really not that hard and you don’t have to throw it just tap where it needs to go. But I would like to talk about something else. The new security breach game is out and it’s not on the phone and I was wondering if you could make that game mobile. I am a big fan of the lore and I would love to see sun and moon and vanny. If you could that would be great. Also I’m a big fan of all your games. My favorite has to be sister location because of Elizabeth and Micheal Afton and the graphics are great. That is why I would love to play security breach. All that lore waiting to be discovered! Anyways I hope you will read my review and make the new FNAF game available I would I appreciate it it so much. By the way for anyone who wrote a review just because they can’t complete I completed the game and all the others. It really wasn’t that hard. Thank you for reading. P.S anyone who loves the games like I do will totally understand so hope you check out all the lore.
BYE!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-12-31, version 1.0.6*

I absolutely love fnaf and all there games I learned fnaf because my cousin told me about it and told a lot of stuff that’s how I came to know this game and I was so happy when this came out but I didn’t know it cost money but my brother bought it for me I’ve known this game since June 2020 at first I only knew about sister location but then I came to the others and when o got this game I was so happy because I have a vr set and I play this game alot.

### 3/5 — My opinion :)

*2021-12-25, version 1.0.6*

Ok so as a fnaf fan who doesn't have a VR(getting one soon) I was excited to find help wanted on iphone and as one does I downloaded it. Alas not everything is fair. I feel a little ripped off. Waste of storage. Waste of time. Graphics? Terrible. Gameplay? Not even like the actual VR game. I'm a little enraged by this. Although I am appreciative of you adding at least something like help wanted to iPhone, you tried and I respect that. But everything is for everyone. This my opinion, others have their own, life is like that. And to the company, work hard and do what you do. Game developers provide entertainment, and your game is entertainment to most people. Good luck with future projects! Stay colorful!✌️

### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing

*2022-11-27*

I just brought this game and everytime I go into it, it crashes and doesn’t let me play, I tried deleting it and re-downloading and that didn’t work, It’s not my device because it’s and iPad Air 4 that only came out two years ago and can run a lot of games, may you please fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Bit of a let down

*2022-08-27*

I absolutely love the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, don’t get me wrong. I have majority of the games and when I saw that Help Wanted was only $8, I thought it was too good to be true. Turns out I was right, now, I don’t know if it’s my phone that’s the problem (considering I’m on an iPhone 6+), but it shouldn’t be since it says that my phones compatible. The real problem is that, when I tap on the game it comes up with the loading screen then after 30 seconds or so it turns black and logs me out of it, I am extremely disappointed that I cannot play a game I so desperately want and I can’t get it on PC or PS4 because it’s too expensive and my mum won’t let me get it, but to buy it for $8 dollars and not be able to play it feels like a scam. And no matter what I do, I keep deleting then reinstalling the game but it still doesn’t work, you should get it fixed so people with lower tier phones can play.

### 1/5 — This is a scam.

*2022-07-21*

Downloaded and all we got was a blank white screen. No where on the page to get support or make a complaint: (

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-07-21*

Don’t waste your money on this scam

### 1/5 — wont work

*2021-04-25*

says its conpatible with ios 12 for any iphone. i have an iphone 6 and when i open the app it closes. i bough it for nothing.

### 1/5 — This sucks

*2021-02-04*

Just paid $6.99 and it doesn’t even work!  It boots me out before it even starts!  I want my $6.99 back😡😡😡😡.  Doesn’t even deserve 1 star.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2020-10-29*

I bought the game and everything was loaded in, and it just crashed. Do not buy. It’s a waste of money

### 2/5 — What is going on rn...

*2022-05-31, version 1.0.6*

It’s been more then a year sense you’ve last updated this game. I purchased this game on iPhone because I enjoyed your VR version, but I wanted to also play while traveling. But this games an unfinished mess. First of all, why is tap to drop something? Why not long press the screen where a meter fills then let go to throw something then have drag up to drop? Maybe your foxy party game wouldn’t be bugged out where it’s impossible to put his eye in cus it just registers me dropping it... also, where’s all the content at? I just hope you guys didn’t just forget or drop this game because as fun as it is, you guys still need to fix the bugs and more content because as of right now, it’s completely empty compared to its way better counterpart...

### 2/5 — Issues running

*2020-11-25, version 1.0.6*

So I’ve played the PC version and it’s very fun. It’s really cool that Scott and steelwool went as far as to port a VR game to mobile. No easy task I’m sure. And from what I’ve heard this is a pretty good port.

However me, me right now. I’m having issues running the game. I know it’s a pretty big game but I have a relatively new phone and I can’t get past the intro splash screen before the game collapses. I don’t know if I’m the only one having this issue. But I can’t imagine it’s a good sign when the payed for game doesn’t open.

Again, I have the pc version and it’s good. This is a good game. But I can’t recommend you get this port until the bugs are sorted. (Which I’ve heard there’s a few, but I wouldn’t know since the game won’t even open)

I’ll update once this is fixed which I hope it is soon. This is a fine game and I have nothing but respect for Scott. So I’m sure this’ll (and some of the other issues I’ve heard of) get sorted out soon. The only bugs I want to see in this game, are the ones crawling all over chica!

### 3/5 — Good but a couple annoying things

*2024-12-01*

Let me just say that I am so happy they made hw mobile but I have 3 things that are annoying first of all sometimes when you beat a night in this game you are supposed to get a new reward but sometimes it will just be a jump scare instead and it’s very frustrating because I spent all that work beating a night and then bam jumpscare and no reward second why is that in Fnaf 2 part you only get to go against all the withered animatronics on the last night even though the withered come out on the 2nd night in the real game it’s really annoying because most people love the withered versions more. Finally the part when you repair the animatronics is rigged I can’t beat it and it’s just so annoying because I follow the instructions but when I try to I just die.

*2024-12-05*

So I reacntley got this game on Tuesday and I absolutely love it. But how do you get jump scared by Foxy when you put the fuse in the left leg when he’s not moving? Also there is a problem/bug in the game when you’re putting in the last fuse for Foxy, when I put in the fuse it drops when I touched the fuse box. Why? Anyways plz fix them but I recommend plz do buy this game bc it’s worth it and it’s absolutely amazing and I can’t stop playing it I even now play it more than Roblox 😊😊😊

*2023-07-10*

DEAR SCOTT. 
We love you very much and for all your very very hard beautiful work sir loved your games ever since day 1 🫡🫡🫡🫡

2 GREAT REASON YOU SHOULD GET ALL FNAF GAMES: 

FACT 1 : 

no kidding but its the BEST , very fun, never get bored of it and learn about the interesting lore of Mr.Afton and his physcotic brain. 

FACT 2: 

 the fact that the new movie is coming out soon ( trailer came 1 and a half weeks ago) and it was very good and im VERY excited.
Acting - 10/10
Casting 10/10
Graphics 10/10
Editing 10/10
and blahblahblah the rest is 10/10 aswell , and its just from THE TRAILER. 
So what i am telling you is you might as well get all the games NOW before the price goes higher. 

good bye.
