So don’t purchase ### 2/5 — Not compatible with new devices *2026-09-02, version 2.01.1* I was really excited to play this game. I can’t get past the beginning because I cannot press or see “x” when the journal opens. The aspect ratio of the game is not compatible with newer devices. When I went to contact the company, their website is also severely out of date. ### 4/5 — Button issue *2026-08-16, version 2.01.1* The game is super fun I love this game it’s just the only issue is when you go onto the Journal you can’t really press the back button or the button to leave and I would really like to play this game on my phone hopefully it can be fixed I really enjoy this game ### 3/5 — 有bug *2026-07-18, version 2.01.1* 点开日志后无法返回，返回键到我的屏幕外面去了，我无法点击，即使退出游戏重新进入也没有用 ### 2/5 — exit journal page bug *2026-07-15, version 2.01.1* pls give us a update to fix this problem ### 3/5 — Journal *2026-07-11, version 2.01.1* Please fix the Journal items I’m a longtime LiS fan and would love to enjoy the full experience that the Journal brings. ### 5/5 — Such a good game *2026-07-06, version 2.01.1* The game is amazing and wonderful i love the graphics and music it’s so peaceful while you’re hunting down the truth it would be so amazing to continue with more episodes! ### 5/5 — Forever my favorite game *2026-07-04, version 2.01.1* I cannot express the way this game has changed me. Songs will come on and take me back to playing this and choices I made and I will be taken back to lying in my bed crying over Chloe and max. I’m reinstalling to play this with my fiancée because I am just so in love with this game <3 ### 4/5 — Can’t close out of journal on iPhone 15 pro *2026-07-01, version 2.01.1* I like this game a lot so far. However on my iPhone 15 pro, I can’t see the buttons at the top of the journal. Makes me unable to close the journal and I have to completely leave the app and go back in… please fix ### 2/5 — Journal *2026-07-01, version 2.01.1* we all know this is a great game but its literally unplayable. someone please just simply make a screen adjusting setting. ### 5/5 — 哈哈哈 *2026-07-01, version 2.01.1* I played this game when I was very young. It was very good, but when I played it again, I found that the logbook could not be withdrawn. The scale size is different. Can you help me adjust it? I'm really anxious. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iPhone screen *2026-08-27, version 2.01.1* Don’t bother if you have an iPhone, the game graphic is larger than the phone screen - can’t get more than 3 minutes into the game. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2026-08-27, version 2.01.1* I cannot close the menu tab super frustrating ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-15, version 2.01.1* I’ve played before on Xbox and loved it. I was excited to relive the game on my phone. Unfortunately it’s unplayable since it doesn’t adjust to fit your phone screen size. The controls are cut off, making it impossible to do things like exit the journal/phone. Seems this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time, so I imagine they have no plans to fix it. ### 1/5 — Unplayable. *2026-08-09, version 2.01.1* I bought the the game last year or maybe the year before that but then I had upgraded my phone to a 15 plus and unfortunately I can’t play the game because the game does fit the screen and I’m unable to edit out of the journal making it impossible to play. Please fix these I spent money on this and I’m so close to a genuine crash out ### 1/5 — Title: iPhone 16 Journal Exit Button Missing – Game Stuck (Life is Strange) *2026-07-30* I’m playing Life is Strange on an iPhone 16 using touch controls. During Episode 1, the Journal opens automatically as part of the story, but the Exit button is missing because the UI is cut off at the bottom-right of the screen. I can switch between Journal pages, but I can’t close the Journal and continue the game. This makes the game impossible to progress. Please update the game to properly support the iPhone 16 display and fix the Journal UI scaling issue. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Screen problems *2026-07-25, version 2.01.1* I would give it 5 stars, but it seems like there’s been an ongoing issues for a while which is disappointing. Whenever you click on notebooks/phone there’s no exit, so you stay stuck on the screen. Please fix the issue! Idk how else to adjust my screen to fix it, I think it’s a them issue. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you’re downloading on your phone *2026-07-17, version 2.01.1* I was really excited to play this but you can’t get past the text message scene in the beginning because you can’t reach the exit button. It’s so disappointing. Definitely doesn’t work for mobile. I have the iPhone 17 pro max and it’s a no go. Too bad cause I heard the story was beautiful and the graphics were great. I’m bummed about it for sure😕 ### 1/5 — Great game, terrible port *2026-07-16, version 2.01.1* I had to mod my phone to use the exit buttons on the book ### 1/5 — bugged *2026-06-27, version 2.01.1* doesnt work anymore im unable to close the journal which means i cant play the game ### 1/5 — Can’t exit the journal *2026-06-21, version 2.01.1* I have the iPhone 16 pro max and I can’t exit the journal whenever I click it. It’s cut off on my screen. Please get this fixed!!! It’s so frustrating 😡. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-09-05, version 2.01.1* I promise yall, yall will love this game so much❤️ ### 5/5 — Fans of Life is Strange *2026-08-19, version 2.01.1* Please No Money Only Free please ### 5/5 — Классная игра, но *2026-08-13, version 2.01.1* Почему нет русского языка?…:((( ### 5/5 — My opinion about the game *2026-07-31, version 2.01.1* If you like the first one you will definitely like this one it has a great storyline there’s no right or wrong answers it’s only about your opinion you guys have to play the game right now❤️ ### 5/5 — Best game ever made *2026-07-22, version 2.01.1* I downloaded this game back in 2018, and till this day it remains my favourite game of all time.
