### 1/5 — Borderline unplayable on an iPhone

*2026-08-18, version 1.651*

The UI on this game has not been scaled correctly for the iPhone. It’s the same proportions as the PC/console version, just shrunk down which is an issue as it is dense with text that is now too small to read. If they redesign it for the iPhone I’ll happily give it another go, otherwise I’d just avoid it.

### 1/5 — Just don’t

*2026-08-09, version 1.650*

Do yourself a favor and don’t even install it. Buggy as all get out, and it just crashes over and over and over. Literally have had to open the app 5-10 times in just trying to get in, it crashes so much. It’s only an exercise in frustration, save yourself the hassle

### 1/5 — Literally unplayable

*2026-06-23, version 1.649*

The Apple version of this game is very buggy and constantly restarts losing your last moves. Exercise in frustration trying to build a formation or select options. 

Save yourself the hassles and don’t install it.

### 3/5 — Entertaining but confusing

*2026-06-19, version 1.648.4*

Entertaining game but difficult to understand at first. The UI is difficult to navigate on mobile.

### 3/5 — Latest update has broken the game

*2026-03-25, version 1.643*

Currently looking at a black screen after last update and end of event.  Reset IPad, Re-Loaded game and reinstalled to no effect.  Normally not a bad game.

### 4/5 — Starts fun but ends poorly

*2026-03-19, version 1.642*

Remember when we showed you the game and you were having fun making your own teams?  Now we are going to take that away from you and make you use only our most trash champions on a mission.

Why?  I do not want to use the trash champions you couldn’t be bothered to make fun. If you goal was to take a fun game and make it unfun you knocked it out of the park.

### 2/5 — Fun, but crashes constantly…

*2026-02-07, version 1.640.1*

I play this game a lot, but it crashes every 5-10 minutes unless I’m lucky. If I try to switch parties it will almost certainly crash and it might crash if I try to do something else. I’m on an iPhone 13 and I minimize the apps that I have open at the same time as this one and that helps some. I also try to keep all of my chests opened, which also helps a little. But nothing stops the constant crashes…

### 1/5 — Game10/10. Menus 0/10

*2026-01-25, version 1.639*

I can’t scroll a single menu without it freaking out and auto scrolling to the bottom or top, please fix the menu scrolling

### 5/5 — Addicted to this game

*2026-01-02, version 1.638.2*

Game is very fun and addictive and I just couldn’t stop playing it

### 3/5 — I hoped to sync with Playstation but couldnt

*2025-12-15, version 1.637.1*

I was having fun on PS5 anyway. 

It’s an idle gacha game—so could be a double moneymaker for them. I would think they would want to make it more valuable for those who actually may spend a few bucks. They must still be figuring out how to do this?

I’ve learned not to expect much from Hasbro though, so I’m not surprised.
