Now, it’s the early 90’s. Carl’s got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

### 4/5 — Крутая игра

*2026-08-26, version 2.2.21*

Я настолько много играл в эту игру, что начал слушать рэп

### 1/5 — Need fix

*2026-08-26, version 2.2.21*

The controller or joystick does not have free aim or open aim

### 2/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-08-24, version 2.2.21*

Way too many glitches to even play. Every few seconds it freezes, auto aim doesn’t work getting you killed, saves won’t work, missions get cancelled, and they took out most of the jumps throughout the city. And they’ll delete all your progress and rockstar accounts after not using it for a while. Why destroy the best game ever invented?

### 2/5 — App shuts down

*2026-08-24, version 2.2.21*

I don’t get why I don’t see a single review that says the app malfunctions or doesn’t load the game. I was playing this game and then all of a sudden my game wasn’t loading and just Carl was on the screen. I deleted the app and restarted the whole game and I was playing right now and it just kicked me out from the app. Now everytime I click on it and try to load in, it just kicks me out of the app. I’m sad cause I just want to complete this game.

### 1/5 — No cheat codes

*2026-08-24, version 2.2.21*

No cheat codes. only reason i downloaded was for jets & chaos. what a waste

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-23, version 2.2.21*

I can’t enter no food place

### 5/5 — Still one of the best GTA games

*2026-08-23, version 2.2.21*

San Andreas is still one of the best GTA games ever made. The story, map, characters, soundtrack, customization, and amount of stuff you can do make it incredibly replayable even all these years later. It’s awesome being able to play the original version on iPhone. I just hope Rockstar keeps it updated and supported on newer iOS versions.

### 5/5 — best game of my childhood..

*2026-08-22, version 2.2.21*

I love this game..🫂

### 1/5 — meh

*2026-08-21, version 2.2.21*

game was working fine until I did the first ceaser race and the game started to crash… and every time i try to load the game, it crashes.

### 3/5 — Grand Theft Auto SanAndreas

*2026-08-21, version 2.2.21*

I like free mode and the mission and keeping my girlfriends .
