It’s great that it’s been updated! Sadly I can’t enjoy it on my tablet like I can on my phone. ### 3/5 — Review *2025-10-27, version 1.48.2* This game overall takes on the concept of being your own god and torturing Pygmies (humans). Though the concept can be fun and awesome to break the game, it can get dull pretty fast, and there are no frequent updates. In order to have more better experience, you need to buy the extra packs for more content. 3 stars! ### 5/5 — Downloaded this app in March 2009 *2025-09-17, version 1.48.2* Really wish they would resurrect it. Or, even better, give us Pocket God 2. Then again, PG was released when mobile games were at their height. Back when games weren’t made to farm data, be micro-transaction cash cows, or actually an ad player that allows you to pass time between ads by playing a game that looks like some high schooler’s senior project. So, maybe it’s best if PG remains as an awesome memory rather than risk ruining it. ### 5/5 — A lost relic of when mobile games were great *2025-06-08, version 1.48.2* Pocket god represents what mobile games COULD be. It is an incredible game jam-packed with features and fun. It kept me entertained for HOURS as a kid, and I still find it super fun now. No ads, no in-app purchases, just a one-time payment. I wish it was still being developed, because you really don’t see gems like this on the app store anymore. ### 4/5 — Resolution is What Its Always Been *2025-05-17, version 1.48.2* At first the resolution annoyed me on my 16 Pro, but the gameplay and nostalgia is flawless and gave me exactly what I wanted otherwise. DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ### 5/5 — It’s like something out of a Museum *2025-04-21, version 1.48.2* A childhood friend and I would play this as 10 yr olds and there is still comments on this video. It’s pretty nuts that this is still tangible let alone people mention it. ### 5/5 — Do not buy this game in 2025 *2025-04-19, version 1.48.2* This was a great game for the time, but it’s 10 years old now and it shows the resolution is terrible. I bought it for nostalgia trip. It’s honestly hard to look at, would have loved if Bolt creative continued to update. They have a wonderful product here but it’s not a recommended buy in 2025. ### 5/5 — I found something weird *2025-03-21, version 1.48.2* So I may sound stupid, I may not know a lot, and I may not know that this has already been covered, and also the fact that this game is dead and nobody checks reviews.. BUT! I found something weird, if you go to make a story, inside the environment section there is a map called fail boat, and it looks weird, it floats on turtle shells. It’s in the middle of nowhere it ain’t on the map. So I’m confused if this is a leaked update or not ### 5/5 — Cool game *2025-02-27, version 1.48.2* Developer please update!!!! ### 5/5 — a bit late to the reviews but this has to be said *2025-02-25, version 1.48.2* This game basically raised me through my life. I always remember coming home and just playing pocket Gods for hours. It is just such innocent fun and so interesting. On the surface it’s just kill pygmy’s. but then the whole cuthulu ritual, Dream island, Underwater area. This game has everything to keep you entertained for hours. Thank you creators for never giving into greed and let the game live and die while everyone still loved it. Sad to see how you guys have quit game making but i hope one day you may come back to the game making industry. Fly High Pocket Gods. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-02-04, version 1.48.2* I love this app so much please don’t ever get rid of it🩷 ### 3/5 — lost sound *2025-01-15, version 1.48.2* this is a really fun game to pass time, it’s just that i lost sound completely on the app ### 4/5 — Hello *2025-01-06, version 1.48.2* O ### 5/5 — Pocket god *2024-12-27, version 1.48.2* It’s a great game but can it have more episodes? I’m just wondering can there be episode 49 and episode 50? It would be great :) ### 5/5 — A Must Play For iPhone & iPod Touch *2024-12-27, version 1.48.2* This Game Is So Awesome! It Even Has Secret Minigames! Here's All The Ways To Play Those Minigames. The Runs Game = Drag A Crack Donkey Kong = Put Someone On The Iron Fists. Ooga Jump = Drag Someone Up The Clouds Animal Moron Game = Make The Snake Eat A God. Only $1.10 For A App What A Deal! ### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER *2024-12-22, version 1.48.2* this game is the best, im so sad it’s over. It’s very fun and I wish there were more areas or reactions that they do. I wish this game was continued and stuff ### 5/5 — Time for a new one *2024-11-21, version 1.48.2* Time to release a new version of this so all the new iPad kids can have a taste of what a truly awesome app is ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound ruins game *2026-04-16, version 1.48.2* This bug that removes all sound and audio from the game really kills it. So disappointing. This game used to be amazing years ago. ### 1/5 — The lack of audio is actually GREAT! *2025-07-25, version 1.48.2* Playing Pocket God a decade or so ago was fun but, I ALWAYS felt like it was missing something. It turns out this new version solved the problem: Eliminate the sound! The music and the sound effects were just a HUGE distraction for me and I want to thank the developers for dropping them. Shigeru Miyamoto would be rolling in his grave but I don’t mean in a bad way, I mean that he would be going “Aha! Wow, this is great! I should have made silent Mario”. (Obviously it would be in Japanese and it would be backwards because he is a ghost.). ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-01-09, version 1.48.2* Can’t play the original version keeps putting me on this awful early 2000s graphics with this new game mode called oopa jump or something can’t play the actual game it’s awful ### 1/5 — OVER CHARGED??? *2024-05-09, version 1.48.2* Game says it is $.99 and I got charged $4.24 why?? ### 1/5 — I loved this game as a kid. *2023-03-09, version 1.48.2* I guess that I was to naive to realize how incredibly racist the concept and gameplay is. ### 1/5 — Pésimo *2022-05-05, version 1.48.2* El vídeo me engañó y pensé que era un buen juego para pasar el tiempo….. no puedo hacer absolutamente nada mas que tirar a unos niños por la montaña y que un ave cague sobre mi cabeza…. No se gana, no hay objetivo, no hay nada…. Y no se puede cambiar de idioma, o por lo menos yo no lo consigo… NO LO RECOMIENDO, HORRIBLE ### 1/5 — Thought I’d give it another go *2022-03-07, version 1.48.2* I use to play Pocket God years ago and something reminded me of it so I though I’d give it another go. As soon as I saw that it hasn’t even been updated to retina quality I deleted it. 😢 ### 1/5 — Bug *2021-03-10* No matter how far I run in underworld, ceiling doesn’t fall down so I cant complete idol mission. 반드시따야하는 업적이 있는데 버그있어서 전혀 다음으로 넘어갈스가 없음 ### 1/5 — Game teaches terrible lesson *2020-12-19, version 1.48.2* Pocket God is a pointless and cruel game where you kill these poor innocent cavemen for no reason whatsoever. One day, my son (he’s 19 by the way) came up to me and said that he wished he came to the cavemen’s island one day so HE can be “sacrificed” and respawn the exact same way as the cavemen are. My son hasn’t been healthy lately ever since he’s been playing THAT game, I do not recommend this game to ANYONE. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-12-11, version 1.48.2* This Game is terrible I want my money back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Epic Game *2026-07-04, version 1.48.2* Okay so I have knew about this game since it was released and I have been playing on and off for almost 10 years now. This game kept me locked in for hours on end, so many fun quests to do and different areas on the map. I’ve truly enjoyed this game more than any other I have downloaded on my phones and tablets, great job with this one its such a great app ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-06-07, version 1.48.2* Very nice ### 5/5 — New Pocket God! *2026-05-23, version 1.48.2* Really a top tier game for its time and if they made a newer updated version and kept up with it, kept the “rock paper scissors” type thing at the end of the first one, I’d never put it down ### 5/5 — WHERE IS THE UPDATE? *2026-04-05, version 1.48.2* GIVE US THE UPDATE! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia I like it *2026-03-15, version 1.48.2* lol that one guy saying there’s No sound bro ur phone on silent. Game has sound and is good ### 5/5 — Simply Goated *2026-03-10, version 1.48.2* This app is currently sitting at top 32 of the paid apps category. This app hasn’t had an update in 10 years. That’s how you know this is an oldy but a goody. ### 5/5 — Pure Nostalgia *2026-02-24, version 1.48.2* I loved every bit of the game, the mass nostalgia and i wonder if there’s gonna be more ### 5/5 — Double Rainbow *2025-12-18, version 1.48.2* I’m not sure who showed me this app when I first downloaded it back in 2012, but omg, seeing a double rainbow while I was at the beach literally made that game pop into my mind and I had to redownload it 😂 the nostalgia, such a funny game ### 5/5 — Classic *2025-10-24, version 1.48.2* I remember when the iPhone was new and this game was so iconic. The nostalgia of it is wonderful but it has not aged well. It would be good if they did a newer version ### 5/5 — Peek *2025-10-07, version 1.48.2* This game is really fun. It’s been a long drives and when you’re bored. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
