Insanity for a simple little game. Otherwise kind of fun and nostalgic. ### 2/5 — Everything Wrong with Mobile Games *2026-08-05, version 9.4.3* Monetized out the oiseaux. This isn’t the game you remember. ### 3/5 — Playing for nostalgia but got boring pretty quickly *2026-08-04, version 9.4.3* I loved lemmings when I played the original PC game and this is a great port. Gameplay is good and it will keep you entertained for a while. The bad: once you have played the first few dozen levels, it very repetitive. There’s very little to really tax you once you’ve got a technique down. The constant ads between levels to get extra spins are an annoyance, which initially, you could skip at the expense of progress. Fair enough. Then forced ads were added. Not so fair. The cost of playing ad free for two hours is frankly, a rip off. Then there’s the loss of progress. I’ve been playing almost every day for months and I’ve lost count of the number of times my days progress has been lost. I logged a ticket with support and eventually I got a response, but not a helpful one. The ads aside, it’s the loss of progress almost daily has me uninstalling and looking elsewhere. ### 4/5 — READ THIS PLEASE *2026-07-30, version 9.4.3* Amazing make a lemming creator app were you can create your own levels for free because when I unlocked the creator I made my own level, but then the other ones costed money. to make so please make an app where you can have infinite making lemming levels for free. ### 5/5 — Age old love *2026-07-20, version 9.4.3* I’ve loved this game since discovering it in the 90s and I think this version carries the flame. I didn’t like the amount of adverts you had to watch, but I allow myself to have one paid game at a time and this one I’ve paid for a while now. Keep up the good work ### 3/5 — Game is good, but essentially an ad generator now *2026-07-18, version 9.4.3* I do enjoy the gameplay for sure. But it is essentially an advert generator for the developer at this point. Which is a shame. ### 5/5 — Lemmings *2026-07-18, version 9.4.3* Incredible just incredible ### 5/5 — Perfect puzzle game *2026-07-07, version 9.4.1* For fans of the 90’s PC game and new generations of players. 1000s of new and unique puzzle levels to explore. I play this DAILY! ### 4/5 — $6.99 for 2 hours? *2026-07-04, version 9.4.1* Love the game, but for $6.99 I will only settle for the entire game unlocked forever. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mortgage Required *2026-08-31, version 9.4.4* Not a bad game to play based on the platform, but the in game costs are insane and if you want a VIP pass to allegedly diminish those costs, £6 a week. £312 a year. The options to watch ads to avoid costs don’t work as the ad plays through, finishes and the “Reward Granted” button doesn’t have a link, so you can’t close that screen, you have to close the app and start again. The app knows you watched the ad because it removes that as an option on a timer, or instantly states “Reward Granted” with the linkless button, again. Shocking way to coerce extortionate amounts of money out of people who enjoy problem solving. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time now *2026-08-27, version 9.4.4* I don’t know if the latest os update or the game versions caused this but the game just crashes every 2 to 3 levels played now. I have tried everything from reinstalling, hard reboots, turning off all background processing and low power mode. I like this game but now it’s become an exercise in frustration. It’s the only app I have running. I have plenty of storage available and I’m running on an iPad with 4 GB of memory. I’ve been playing for a couple years without any issues whatsoever so I don’t know what changed. If this keeps up, I’ll probably cancel my subscription. I hope it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Boring pay to play. *2026-08-22, version 9.4.4* Well done ruining the game developers. ### 1/5 — 1.55gb of data! *2026-08-17, version 9.4.4* Why does a 364mb game need 1.55gb data as well? Deleted the game to clear the cache and when I redownload it download an additional 500mb. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-08-08, version 9.4.3* Just keeps crashing on iPad m5 ### 1/5 — To the boys and girls that run lemmings!!!!!!!!! *2026-07-27, version 9.4.3* We all love this game that’s why we are playing it. I’ve cancelled my £11.99 a month subscription because the absolute first time I bought your game it cost me £40. Been paying 11.99 for very nearly 2 years and gone back to the free version 🤮 Totally not worth it an advert after every level just to get a duplicate lemming or a free dig is so not worth it. Really sorry to say that greed is taking over!💵 If you actually want people to play your game don’t take the mickey out of them. I’m really considering just deleting it because I feel you do nt care about your customers in the slightest little bit! ### 1/5 — Ads killing this game *2026-07-21, version 9.4.3* Fun game to play but all the push ads and click bait is soul destroying and just ruins this game. You are made to endure long game promos that force you to try them without any exit option after every other round. Not recommended… ### 1/5 — Free?? What a joke! *2026-07-18, version 9.4.3* I love this game and have since I was young. When I found it free on the App Store I was excited to play. But after so many ads to acquire more “health” aka MOVES, I have run out and there is no way forward other than paying $$ for moves. I don’t even have the option to watch more ads. Sorry Lemmings… but, you have forced me into my own endless maze. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-07-12, version 9.4.2* Since April I have had to repeat the same levels over and over again. My streaks have gone, my tribes are empty, and the game is boring because I can’t get new levels. ### 1/5 — Ads, pop-ups, lost interest *2026-07-04, version 9.4.1* Just wanted to reminisce for five mins but pop ups and ads drove me insane. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love these Lemmings *2026-08-27, version 9.4.4* I’ve been playing this game for a long time. It never gets old. Don’t ever need to buy in game purchases to have a great time! Challenging enough to keep my interests, easy enough to keep me playing. Def. Recommend! ### 5/5 — Lemmings! *2026-08-27, version 9.4.4* I’ve loved this game since I was playing it on the Super Nintendo back in the day. I wish I could trade in all my insurance “boosts” as I don’t use them and they’re really piling up. ### 5/5 — Lemmings *2026-08-14, version 9.4.4* This game is amazing, the ad problem has gotten so much better since I last day, I love this game so much it has no problems! ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2026-08-09, version 9.4.3* This is the second time I have started this game. They have added a lot of new content, which make the game more playable with less adds. There is a lot of add content, but easy enough to push past. ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2026-08-07, version 9.4.3* I just got this game yesterday but I’ve been really enjoying it. It’s a fun puzzle game that reminds me of a computer game I really loved as a kid. I always get so stressed when one of the lemmings dies when I mess up :,( but it really is an enjoyable game! It’s a free game with options to spend money, but I think the system is fair and I’m impressed that this game is still having new events seeing as this game is at least 7 years old. I’m a fan of this! Excited to play more. ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2026-08-02, version 9.4.3* I used to play this a very long time ago, and it’s great to see how the game of my childhood has developed! So entertaining to play and experience. ### 5/5 — Lemming block advertise *2026-07-29, version 9.4.3* Lemmings ### 5/5 — Lemmings *2026-07-23, version 9.4.3* This game is absolutely adorable. The lemmings at the end are so cute. I love this game. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Lemmings iOS *2026-07-22, version 9.4.3* Lemmings game ### 5/5 — Going downhill *2026-07-21, version 9.4.3* I used to love this game - and subscribe to avoid to e ads. I’ve done this for years and have been happy with the game and price etc. Recently they’ve started adding more and more reward things to sign into and it’s just tedious the Home Screen is now packed with things to click. Not sure I’ll be renewing my subscription this time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
