### 4/5 — Having trouble getting into the game

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.13*

I went to play a few years back I got in everything was fine but then when I went to play was having the same crash out issues. so I just went to start playing it again just now and when I get to the screen with the title that says tap anywhere to start nothing seems to happen. Don’t think it’s the device because it’s pretty new.🤷🏼‍♀️

### 3/5 — It’s crashes a lot

*2026-07-19, version 1.0.13*

I love little nightmares so when I saw this ofc I’m gonna play it so I paid for it but the crashes are so bad to the point I don’t want to play pls fix this it’s been years and you guys never fixed it it’s annoying if you guys fix this I would 100% play this

### 4/5 — fun but

*2026-06-28, version 1.0.13*

holding mechanic is quite annoying on mobile, especially during the final janitor fight scene

### 3/5 — Disgusting fields on the edges of the screen...

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.13*

I love this game, and decided to buy it on the iPad, but what was my disappointment when I saw a huge, not even black frame at the bottom of the screen and above, which terribly kills the immersion in the game itself and spoils the overall impression, I hope it will be fixed

### 4/5 — It only took a yearish...

*2026-05-22, version 1.0.13*

Not so much of a critique of the game, more so the update.  I bought this nearly a year ago, and have been patiently waiting for an update so that I could actually play the game.  It got to the point where I just gave up and deleted the game and kept it in the back of my mind.  It was only recently that I stumbled upon the game being updated to fix the crashes.  On one hand, its a small thing -- a couple of bucks for a bit of entertainment -- and not something to lose my mind over.  On the other hand, Playdigious is one of only two or three quality publishers on iOS who make good games worth buying, and its a touch unprofessional to offer a product and then take a little under a year to fix it, especially when the product is what you do -- make games.  That being said, I write this in kind because I do like your games, and hope that in the future you make more or an effort to address quality control.  Thanks for the update!

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.13*

This game used to crash for me, but it randomly stopped and I was able to finish it!!! Perfect mix of creepy and fun, also I really love the character design! Perfect game. I fixed my old problem too, if you can't throw high enough, hold down the button.

### 4/5 — Save points trouble

*2026-05-19, version 1.0.13*

The game is great great I love it gameplay graphics everything! The only problem is that I get so far in the game but when I exit the game to play some other time all my progress is gone and start off somewhere in early game in the story and has become very annoying. Hope it’s something that can be fixed. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Will not load

*2026-05-18, version 1.0.13*

Apparently the makers have updated the game so that it doesn’t kick you off at the start. I paid for this app and even with the update the game will not load more than a few seconds!

### 3/5 — Save system is insane

*2026-05-15, version 1.0.13*

This is a great game I am loving it so far, but it is absolutely ridiculous how far back the game takes me when i leave the game. I keep ending back in that shoe room, despite getting past the clock room and most of the janitors rooms. It is making me redo everything and the checkpoint system is very confusing and frustrating.

### 4/5 — Ein „Dream-come-true“!

*2026-05-14*

Little Nightmares im Mobileformat ist ein „Dream-came-true“! Als Informatiker ist mir bewusst, welcher enorme Aufwand in die Portierung des Spiels gesteckt wurde. Vor dem letzten Update gab es einige Probleme, die das Spielerlebnis beeinträchtigten, diese hat der Entwickler jedoch nach etwas längerer Wartezeit auf Hinweise der Nutzer gelöst, was wiederum für den Entwickler spricht.
Die Umsetzung der Touch-Steuerung ist sehr sinnvoll und flexibel gewählt. Allerdings kommt man ab dem Uhrengang nicht mehr weiter. Die Tür ist zu, obwohl man sie eigentlich aufschieben können soll. Außerdem ist die Grafik noch etwas ausbaufähig, sie ist sehr grau und kontrastarm.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-05-12, version 1.0.10_epic*

အရမ်းကြိုက်တယ် ၃ ကိုကစားချင်မိ မဝယ်နိုင်ဘူးအလကားပေးဆော့တာလေးနဲ့မတင်းတိမ်ပေါင် သနားကြပါ ခင်ဗျာ🤓

*2026-05-06, version 1.0.7*

### 1/5 — Can’t rate it right now

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.13*

It will not let me play at all it says tap anywhere then I tap and it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Poorly made

*2026-06-16, version 1.0.13*

Very bad version on mobile, not even full screen on ipad, very bad made

### 1/5 — Doesn't start

*2026-06-01, version 1.0.13*

I downloaded the game and run it in front of the screen, the inscription click on the screen and after clicking nothing happens

### 1/5 — Why does Little Nightmares keep crashing?

*2026-05-23, version 1.0.13*

I use Iphone 11 pro max on IOS 17.6.
This is the first time I've downloaded this game. And when I click to play, the game automatically crashes.
My phone still has over 150GB of storage left.
I closed all background apps, even though I know that's a bit pointless on iOS.
I also try to delete the game and install it again, then restart my phone.
But in the end, everything I tried was useless.
I hope you hear me and let me know how to fix it.

### 1/5 — Jogo fechando do nada resolvam por favor

Jogo fechando do nada resolvam por favor

### 1/5 — فاشله

*2026-04-30, version 1.0.7*

مشاكلها الي متخلص يابه رايد احد يرد علي ليش يطلعني من العبه

### 1/5 — Estoy jugando y se sale

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.7*

Es bueno pero falla mucho, me saca del juego en varias ocasiones y vuelvo a intentarlo y vuelve y me saca, tengo un buen dispositivo pero no sé qué es. Y para que un juego tenga esos problemas y que tenga un precio no me parece justo. Le daré 1 estrellas

### 1/5 — Keep Crashing

*2026-04-26, version 1.0.7*

Ringing on a fully updated iPhone 14 Pro but still kicks me mid play and makes it frustrating mid puzzle to solve. Once it’s fixed will love to play but for now too frustrating…

### 1/5 — Game crash

### 1/5 — Fecha sozinho

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-08-10, version 1.0.13*

I absolutely adored the gameplay, it was honestly so fun to play!! Should we expect the second or third to come out for iOS too???

### 5/5 — I ❤️Little nightmares

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.13*

The story was so interesting and compelling i loved it it was so fun to play!

### 5/5 — Obese

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.13*

so many obese people in this game at the end of the game my phone was so heavy. I could barely hold it because of all the obese people but jokes aside the game was great. I’ve beat it twice now. If you like horror games then this is the game that you should get.

### 5/5 — Best game ever.

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.13*

The music !the story !the mood ! Omg it was amazing. I love this game so much I just wish that the second chapter would also be on this app so the story continues. But overall if your a dream core kinda person def buy this.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.13*

One of the best games I’ve ever played on my iPad though I’m very upset about how quick i finished i really hoped there was the second chapter too but I couldn’t find it amazing game though🫶🏻

### 5/5 — YEEEAHAHAHAHH

*2026-07-15, version 1.0.13*

I love little nightmares and having it in mobile is so nice. I hope little nightmares 2 comes on mobile!

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-07-04, version 1.0.13*

This game is so nostalgic. I love the setting. I love everything about this franchise in this game. I’m not even trying to be sensitive, but the last ending where she walks upstairs low-key made me cheer up. I don’t want this franchise to end, but 
sometimes you gotta let things go Even though little nightmares three was not a good game. I still loved it very much as I do for all of the little nightmare games, I will be continuing to talk about Little nightmare theories on YouTube and draw my own characters. This game has a special number one to my heart for me is the number one game for me and always will be nothing will change. I just hope the original creators come back and look at how amazing and wonderful they made the art is the best thing ever Little nightmares. I love you. I’m out.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game, some touch control issues

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.13*

I have been checking back for over a year to see if an update would fix the crashing issues on iPad, and I was thrilled to finally try again. No crashing or saving issues this time, completed the game, though there are a few times when the touch controls don’t quite work as expected, and it requires a lot of patience to work the fiddly controls and get out of a room.

It’s worth it. Amazing art, world, story, atmosphere, music, and main character. Challenging without being too frustrating, satisfying to explore the world and solve the levels. I love Inside, and this is very close. I really wish they’d make an iOS version of the sequels. 

Some of the story elements detracted from the overall experience, particularly the character designs that relied on old circus sideshow freak notions of fat or disabled bodies. 

With that caveat, this game is memorable and really fun, with good achievements.

### 5/5 — I have been experiencing crash glitches

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.13*

Edit: Thank you guys so much! I pay tribute to Bandai Co and their AMAZING team! Thank you for listening to my complaint and responding by updating your game! Little Nightmares is infamous, and now the terror can be felt by mobile players! Thank you Playdigious, Bandai Company, Tarsier studios <3 I hope you guys come out with more succesful sequels… or prequels

Hello playdigious! Often than not when I boot this mobile port and play it, it crashes, it usually crashes in intense sequences such as the bridge collapse after the Medusa section, I know your team has made an excellent effort to make this game accessible, I applaud that!! But I please kindly request for this to be patched. It has ruined the immersive sections by being too much to handle, I can understand that a game with such impressive mechanics and visuals, but I hope your team can give mobile players the same treatment. Thanks! Best regards to you and your team.

### 5/5 — App keeps crashing

*2026-05-26, version 1.0.13*

EDIT: THANKYOU! Game is no longer crashing can finally enjoy it again!
This is an awesome game, so much so that I am playing it a second time however after installing it the 2nd time it’s frequently crashing. Every time I die, or progress to new level even when I open the app sometimes it randomly crashes. Please fix this asap as it is extremely frustrating to repeat levels CONSTANTLY.
