### 4/5 — Love it BUT

*2026-02-23, version 1.60.0*

Why, oh WHY, will it not let me log in even after logging in on the website.

### 2/5 — Bugged Login

*2025-11-17, version 1.60.0*

Game is fun and I love that it actually gives you in game rewards and pet points, however it does not let me log into my account to actually get those rewards. It keeps saying I must log into wizard101.com first (which I do) and then go back to try to log into and it never works. Don’t know if it’s a bug or they just stopped allowing people to log in?

### 2/5 — Wizard101 console???

*2025-10-16, version 1.60.0*

Is the going to be a way to login with your console account because as of now are accounts are connected through our xbox accounts sp how do we login

### 4/5 — Love this game BUT

*2025-08-07, version 1.60.0*

Please update this game. I can’t stand how I have to log in to the app and the websites every time I want to use this app.

### 4/5 — Free Energy Elixirs

*2024-12-21, version 1.60.0*

So it’s an ok tower defense game but the main draw is that you can get multiple free energy elixirs for Wizard101 every day, and it’s not even that difficult. Look up guides for more info but yeah I would say that’s the main draw for this game. I think you can also get lore packs. 

Or if you are really intent on training pets but never near your computer you can use it for that too

### 4/5 — Great game and tremendous help

*2024-10-10, version 1.60.0*

This game helped a lot when needing to level your pets in game. However this game hasn’t had an update in forever and crashes. I would love to see these wizard101 apps revamped with their upcoming console updates!

### 4/5 — Glitch with logging in

*2024-08-02, version 1.60.0*

I love this game and love that I can train pets and not waste pet energy while away from the computer. Only problem is I can log in on my phone due to the “Prove you aren’t a robot” screen on the webpage not showing the full “please confirm…” and I can’t press confirm cause it’s whited out. Therefore can’t play on my account at all.

### 5/5 — Experienced player.

*2024-05-16, version 1.60.0*

I just would like more updates to the game! but other than that it is a wonderful game to play!

### 5/5 — Please don’t let this die out!

*2024-01-02, version 1.60.0*

I love this game, getting to upgrade my pets on the go. Especially as an adult with less time to play the main game.

### 3/5 — Signing in

*2023-12-23, version 1.60.0*

Hey so this app has been telling me to log in the website of wizard101 but it doesn’t let me on the phone. It even shows a white block on the accepting log in. Like I can barely confirm the pictures and that’s it. I just wanna train my pets.

### 3/5 — Not sure if I’ll keep the app

*2023-10-29, version 1.60.0*

It is difficult to play and very hard to go back to our home page on our phone.   As in hard to go to another app.    You can’t close this app.

### 2/5 — Buggy Apple products

*2023-10-25, version 1.60.0*

After a completion of any map, the game screen freezes. After the first freeze the only way to play a again is reinstalling the game.

*Once it freezes, not even closing the app and opening it back up fixes it, 🫤

* played on IPad Air and iPhone 8+

### 1/5 — Fix the App

*2025-11-21, version 1.60.0*

I cannot use the app to log into my account without the screen locking up, effectively keeping me from playing grub guardian or using the store function to add crowns to my account. Hurry up, KingsIsle, please?

### 1/5 — Please update this

*2025-11-19, version 1.60.0*

I’ve played wizards101 religiously as a kid and now that the game has resurfaced because of its move on consoles. I would love to lvl up my pets while I’m at work but I can’t even load my pets on the game and once it glitches it just stops working, I haven’t even been able to play not once. Please update this

### 1/5 — i cant login at all

*2025-08-13, version 1.60.0*

even when i verify the server its not letting on

### 1/5 — Login

*2025-02-11, version 1.60.0*

Every time I try to sign into my account it makes me go to the website and I am unable to do the “I am not a robot” because the screen is white

### 1/5 — Score System is Garbage

*2024-12-19, version 1.60.0*

Whoever designed the score system for this game is a pretty big moron, its mind boggling. To get a better score you have to use LESS TOWERS in your TOWER DEFENSE GAME. You also are encouraged to NOT UPGRADE HOUR TOWERS AT ALL to get a better score. The way to a gold medal is to… not play the game for fun at all and try and math your way out of a level with the cheapest, lamest, most boring towers. Seriously a complete and utter moron.

### 1/5 — ITS TIME FOR AN UPDATE!

*2024-08-06, version 1.60.0*

Love playing this game since I was little, loved the rewards but what will it take to convince Kingsisle it’s time to update their mobile games? I think it’s time for rewards to be updated, Mobile Phone Resolution, Connectivity Issues to be fixed, and more, considering the last update was several years ago! Kingsisle owes it to their veteran players like myself, who have been a community member since its beginning. I continue to play the game until now, but on the go, I wish there was more. Updates continue to be made both on W101 and P101. It’s GG’s turn, especially the infamous Wizard Blocks. I’m going to begin rallying fellow wizards for change! It’s genuinely neglectful of your marketing and game-development departments to leave two mobile games idling for fun. Maybe Kingsisle themselves should consider replacing them with more dedicated and informative employees. Plenty of rising students in high schools and colleges aim to become game developers. Kingsisle should consider paid internships or seasonal employees to handle “pushed-away” work. It’s sad how many items and products are released for micro-transactions on the pc games but you’re neglecting the micro-transactions that can be made on your mobile games. Take notes from TFT and Wild Rift by Riot Games. I will be taking my review onto several other of your platforms.

### 1/5 — Terrible verification step

*2024-05-09, version 1.60.0*

Requires me to verify every time I log In and sometimes I have to verify 3 time it’s rubbish mate.

### 1/5 — Login and connection issues

*2023-11-05, version 1.60.0*

I HATE having to login on the w101 website to be able to login to this app to play. The mobile website doesn’t even work so I have to dig out my laptop just to play this game. And I have not been able to play a full game for the past week without the game suddenly having “connection issues” and preventing any further use of the app for random amounts of time, taking me back to the main page except without any buttons. This problem strangely persists even after closing the app. 

The gameplay is alright when it works but this app is essentially nonfunctional.

### 1/5 — Bug won’t let me play the game

*2023-10-01, version 1.60.0*

Whenever I try to log into my account it says verify information by logging on to wizard101.com but once I log in there I go back to the game and it keeps saying the same thing so I can’t even log in to my account

### 1/5 — Missing crowns.

*2023-05-07, version 1.60.0*

The Anti-bot software will repeatedly kick you out mid-game no matter how many times you verify on your account. If you spend anything it’ll be gone. I can’t recommend. Will be opening a ticket. 

1000 crowns that just don't exist anymore

### 5/5 — PLZ KI

*2026-02-10, version 1.60.0*

KI if you make this compatible on Mac, I can finally get back to my childhood self. I play Wizard101 a lot and although Grub Guardian feels like farming at darkmoor, the expansion would let us know that you still care for your Mac community. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Console compatibility!

*2025-12-26, version 1.60.0*

Please add compatibility for console accounts asap

### 5/5 — It a fun game

*2025-11-17, version 1.60.0*

I am a fan of Wizard101 and this was a fun game to play cause I can train my pets offline and extra rewards are good.

### 5/5 — Hoping for the full game

*2025-06-27, version 1.60.0*

Also - it would be great to play this while I’m logged into the full game on my laptop. I’m getting kicked off because my account is logged in…. Please allow for simultaneous play.

Hi. I’ve been playing Wizard101 for over a decade. I appreciate that WizardBlox is now available on the iPad. I would love to play the full game on the iPad too 🥺 Thank you ❤️

### 5/5 — Broken right now

*2025-06-10, version 1.60.0*

Please fix the game it just says internal error everytime I try to login, I paid for all the maps and guardians and I can’t use any :(
It’s a great game when it works

### 5/5 — Favorite game

*2025-03-22, version 1.60.0*

I love training my pets on here I love this game best tower defense it

### 5/5 — Really like this game!

*2024-11-20, version 1.60.0*

This game is really fun! The lack of ads is honestly pretty refreshing since there seem to be ads everywhere these days, and while microtransactions are very much so present in this game, they don’t feel very *pushed* which is really nice. Plus getting rewards/being able to train your wizard101 pet through this game is very, very nice.

### 5/5 — Please update

*2024-10-06, version 1.60.0*

I love this game but the size of the game doesn’t feel my iPhone screen at all.

### 5/5 — Update would be lovely

*2024-09-16, version 1.60.0*

Thanks

### 5/5 — App review

*2024-07-13, version 1.60.0*

Please update and start working on this mobile game again! This mobile game allowing us to play and earn in game redeemable rewards is a treasure. Bring it back!!
