### 4/5 — Button problem

*2025-02-16*

So far I like the game. However, when I click the button “report anomaly” it often does nothing and won’t let me. Is this a glitch? Im on iPhone 11

### 4/5 — 🫨

*2025-02-12*

I love this game but please, make the "swiping" to be a simple click. And also make the camera changing in a loop. The whole sliding back and forth is a bit irritating. Atleast make the cameras loop back to the first like on pc.

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2024-09-22, version 1.0*

It’s a really good game but the game quality is blurry, that’s my only complaint. This game rules

### 3/5 — só 2 mapas

*2024-08-21, version 1.0*

libera os outros pra mobile/iphone por favooor🥺

### 2/5 — Good concept, bad execution

*2024-06-16*

I love the idea, but on the mobile version it is too blurry, can’t see background items or border definitions very well, and I have no idea what I missed as far as abnormalities are concerned. Disappointing, because this looked really fun on the Watcher channel.

### 2/5 — Как поменять язык?

*2024-02-04, version 1.0*

🤫🧏‍♂️

### 3/5 — Meh

*2023-10-25*

The closest I could get to the other original games on my phone. Everything is black and white, no option for color, which makes it hard to see lighting anomalies among other stuff. There is no content on the game to show you what certain anomalies look like, like the “abyss” and what not. Not to thrilled with the game, especially after having to pay for it.

### 3/5 — Over paid

*2023-09-02, version 1.0*

Just bought this and it said $0.99. So I bought it and it charged me $5.35

### 2/5 — meh...

*2023-03-04*

bought the entire franchise on steam because i think its super cool and when i saw there was a mobile port, i immediately bought it. just as quickly as i bought it, though, i was disappointed. the resolution of the cameras is horrible and i dont think thats excusable when there are wonderful looking games on mobile. the swiping action is super slow and distracting which is horrible for a game that requires zero distractions whatsoever. objects (simple things like plant pots) are missing when they are there in the original and the entire experience feels half-assed. still bought it though, so who's really the fool here. couldve been done much better

### 4/5 — Yeah fun but it the quality kinda sucks

*2022-12-13*

Your beater of buying on pc for double the price

### 3/5 — WHEN ARE YOU GONNA ADD MORE HAUNTED HOUSE???

*2022-11-05, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Too few maps

### 1/5 — Scary

*2024-09-16, version 1.0*

How to delete

### 1/5 — Low cost = Low quality

*2024-04-13*

For a game that is 99 cents the quality is just as bad as you’d expect. It is a good game for one who uses computers, but it is not something that is best used on mobile. The graphics are not good, very low clarity. Camera functions are very unpleasant to use; a loop for the cameras would be better instead of having to swipe from one end to the other back and forth repeatedly. Best to play on a desktop.

### 1/5 — 1円の価値もない

*2024-03-31*

•iPhone15 Pro Maxを使用しているが、信じられないほど画質が悪い。App Storeのサンプル画像は誇張されており、実際は劣化した品質で詐欺的である。
•カメラ残り換えには画面の端からスワイプする必要があり、とても操作性が悪い。
•カメラ残り換えを一周した後に、最後のカメラから最初のカメラに切り替えできない。逆方向にひとつひとつスワイプする必要があり、とてもストレスがたまる。

### 1/5 — Awful awful awful graphics

*2023-07-03, version 1.0*

Graphics are SOOOOOO bad. You can’t tell when 80% of things have changed - doesn’t enable you to actually play the game effectively. Made me think I was losing my eyesight. Awful.

### 1/5 — Rubbish!!

*2023-04-14*

I got excited to get this just for it to be a few low resolution pictures that barely have anything. It’s honestly bad and it SHOUOD NOT cost anything??

### 1/5 — A qualidade da imagem é péssima

*2023-04-04, version 1.0*

Não dá pra enxergar nada, a qualidade da imagem é horrível e é muito ruim de trocar de cômodos. Não gostei.

### 1/5 — too few maps

*2022-07-27, version 1.0*

Boring. too few maps

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2022-04-12, version 1.0*

The game itself is very fun as I’ve played it on my PC before... but the quality for the iPad is really really bad.

### 1/5 — Pretty much unplayable

*2022-03-20*

Graphics are pixelated and colors make it difficult to see anomalies. It’s a great game, but not on mobile. It’s not worth downloading, let alone paying for. If they updated the graphics and made scrolling better (like at least with a loop function, the scrolling is clunky and you get to the last cam, you gotta scroll back to the first, rather than being able to continuously go through the cams) I’d feel that it was worth it. As it is now, I’ve had it for about 10 minutes and won’t go back to it. Love the game, it’s just not enjoyably playable. All I could see were the problems with the game, one of them being that I can literally NOT see all the objects in the game, barring me from actually playing.

### 1/5 — You Have To Be Joking

*2021-11-01*

The resolution is abysmal. You can’t spot the differences if you can’t even make out what anything is. 

The old house is borderline playable, but do NOT even bother with the new house. They didn’t even try to make it discernible.  

This app is garbage until major improvements are made.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-08-09*

Its fun to play. Please add more!!! Please add more i need more!

### 5/5 — It’s a really good game to play!

*2024-05-12, version 1.0*

It’s a tricky game where you see if any anomaly is there and discover what type it is . It’s like the game ‘Phasmophobia’.

### 5/5 — Divertida :D

*2024-02-29, version 1.0*

Mejora los gráficos y la iluminación y ya

### 5/5 — Love it

### 5/5 — R

*2023-06-04*

### 5/5 — Bring out more

*2023-05-03*

I love the IOOD games on PC and so happy to see this on IOS, just wish we had the other sequels as the game is a bit quick to complete so more games/locations would be great for ipad

### 5/5 — really fun

*2023-04-18*

i played this game with my friends and we really enjoyed it.

### 5/5 — Great game, But quality is low

*2023-03-07*

The game is great and has alot of the mechanics from the original game on this port, But the quality could be greatly improved on since most devices could handle the better 3D graphics the origins have. But other then that, Great port, Would love to see motr games ported and improved upon!

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 5/5 — More map
