Unfortunately it still hasn’t. I literally have hundreds of hours in this game, I really miss playing it, but without sound, the experience is mostly ruined. Please just give us one more update to fix the sound. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-08-18, version 1.4.0* Great game to pass time and always fond memories of dayz. But issue I’ve found app has no sound. Multiple re downloads an still no sound? Have emailed support had no response ### 2/5 — Sound *2026-08-10, version 1.4.0* The sounds in the game doesn’t work( iPhone 17 pro map ### 4/5 — Like the PC Game (challenging) *2026-08-09, version 1.4.0* It’s very challenging but fun, and I struggled with no sound or controller support but, with patience, it won me over. The minimal on-screen game controller is actually better than a joystick once you get used to it. The game carried over the basic functionality from its PC Game predecessor DayZ, like crafting a fire, and food/water. ### 3/5 — Sound *2026-08-02, version 1.4.0* 5 stars if u add sound, none works 0% sound FIX PLEASE ### 2/5 — SOUND NEEDS FIXING *2026-07-24, version 1.4.0* Sound for this game doesn’t work. Cool game though ### 2/5 — Sound not working anymore *2026-07-18, version 1.4.0* the sound needs a bug fix because its not working at all pls and thank you ### 2/5 — Audio in need of rescue! *2026-07-13, version 1.4.0* This game is my favorite game I have, I’ll say that. But you want to know one thing I’m really upset about? THE SOUND! The app is completely muted! I’ve looked into it, and nothing has worked! I’m sorry, but this app needs help. SOS for MiniDayZ! ### 4/5 — Wish for controller comfortability *2026-07-07, version 1.4.0* The game is fun and all but the fact that it’s just touchscreen and you can’t connect to control controller to play better because sometimes the screen glitches when you’re touching it if you’re running, he stops running out of nowhere I would love an updated version of this with Bluetooth controller capability ### 5/5 — Q *2026-07-07, version 1.4.0* Game god pls add multiplayers ### 4/5 — Sound? *2026-07-06, version 1.4.0* Please fix the bug. Great game though! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gg *2026-08-20, version 1.4.0* Game dead ### 1/5 — NO SOUND *2026-08-17, version 1.4.0* NO SOUND PLS FIX SO I CAN REINSTALL GAME AND PLAY IT ### 1/5 — sound not working *2026-08-16, version 1.4.0* no sound ### 1/5 — Hard don’t play *2026-08-08, version 1.4.0* Way to hard no progress can be made adds don’t work ### 1/5 — Balls *2026-08-08, version 1.4.0* I’m fully leveled up in the game and you genuinely just basically get spawned killed by humans with grenades and machine guns ### 1/5 — Weird design *2026-08-07, version 1.4.0* Pretty sure this game was designed just to piss people off. You either die by starvation, bleeding, or lack of supplies because there is absolutely no loot at all. You can't outrun the enemies when they’re chasing you. ### 1/5 — No sound bug *2026-08-04, version 1.4.0* Destroyed the game because you can’t hear anything anymore. Not worth downloading. Even though it was a great game RIP ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-02, version 1.4.0* Trash, zero audio. ### 1/5 — 不具合 *2026-07-11* soundが出ません ### 1/5 — Haha u deserve it *2026-07-03, version 1.4.0* I haven’t even played yet, and I already review it as a one star game. Actually I want to give a six-star review, but there is only five stacks of stars so this one is the extra one😊 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sound *2026-08-27, version 1.4.0* I can’t hear the sound fx ### 5/5 — SO MUCH LOST POTENTIAL *2026-08-23, version 1.4.0* I’ve played this game since 2022, and I still love it. You don’t see open world survival games like this on mobile anymore, and this is one of the few gems that still exist. I’m sad the devs have abandoned this project, and I truly want this game to become alive again. (And for those who are experiencing audio or UI bugs, it’s not just you). Please devs, come back and let your project thrive again. ❤️‍🩹🙏 ### 5/5 — Did in hdhx *2026-08-13, version 1.4.0* DEVELOPERS READ THIS There are way to many problems for a game like this so let me list them 1. Base building is nonexistent Adding more base building mechanisms could truly flesh out the game 2. Crafting is weird Most games have a crafting table and while this games crafting is acceptable the mystery behind it is hard to figure out like how was I supposed to know the crafting recipe for barbwire for example or walls I even checked your guys crafting page in game and it only listed bows and packs 3. Progression is dumb Progressing through this game is frustrating and hard especially when its not clear to the player what to do 4. Tutorial should be repeatable If I didn’t understand the first time how come not do it again 5. Guns and ammo should be craftable If this was added it would mostly fix the next issue 6. Melee is stupid Why is it automatic and I’m not annoyed by that but why does a zombie or wolf hit me every time I try to hit it it doesn’t make sense so why not add shields and parrying to the game 7. Glitching and crashing This is a big problem 8. Wolfs need to be buffed They do like no damage without armor Optional 9. Local Multiplayer This would be a great addition and would make everything a lot more fun if enjoyed with a partner (the 2nd one failed on multiplayer it’s just 8-bit tower defense Fortnite now it’s basically STW) 10. Better farming Farming is fun but more types of plants would be cool 11. Being able to loot trash cans and other cubicles Looting only cars makes no sense why not loot other things 12. Lockpocking Better loot could be hidden behind a lock that would take more time to open like lock picking Thank you for reading and pls take all my suggestions into consideration I know it’s been 8 years since the last update but if you added all this, this game could turn into the greatest game on the App Store y’all could be rich right now oceanhorn is dominating so you need to step up your game BYE 👋 ### 5/5 — I absolutely love this game. It’s so. *2026-08-12, version 1.4.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Sem som *2026-08-06* Jogo é bom, porém pra mim não tá saindo som nenhum. ### 5/5 — Did in hdhx *2026-08-05, version 1.4.0* DEVELOPERS READ THIS There are way to many problems for a game like this so let me list them 1.

I have been playing it for years it is by far the most amazing game I have ever played. But there is one issue. No sound. I would love an update. ### 5/5 — Desperate for and update *2026-07-11, version 1.4.0* No other game like it but 8 years overdue for an update. Sound no longer works and autosave is buggy. I still play the hell out of it and would pay for an expansion/update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
