From an old rogue player
Haven't figured out how wands are used.
Crash
Everything was going quite well until I tried to equip a wand. When equipping certain items, the application crashes. Please fix this bug!!!
How to go up/down stairs?
Can’t figure out how this works. Used the original irogue and it’s been a few years since I played, seems to have been updated and renamed iRogue2 but the instructions in the help don’t say how to use stairways…
No Great on Mac
Not compatable with keyboard so you have to click everywhere to move. Not ideal but the game does work.
Added graphics that make it a little prettier, but I was hoping to play something closer to the original.

no keyboard support
no keyboard support this is garbage
Can’t get Bluetooth keyboard to work
Bought this to scratch that nostalgia itch, and was excited to try out the keyboard support for that truly authentic feeling, but I sadly haven’t been able to get it to work. I’m using iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and the keyboard works in other apps (like Notes), but it doesn’t seem to do anything here. Am I missing something obvious?

Wands crash app
Liked rogue and want to like this but every time I select a wand to use app crashes and must restart!
Rogue hangs and deletes character
Scroll of Identify does not cause “pick” or “select object” menu to appear. Only way out is to close game and reload. Worse, when you try to Zap with a staff, the game deletes the active character.
Staffs and Wands still crash the game
:-(
Glitchy AF
You will be playing and all of the sudden the game will exit. Your character is not saved when you come back. You have to start over. By the looks of it, there was just the one version and update released two years ago. Doesn’t like like there will be support into the future.
Game randomly freezes
The game randomly freezes after defeating a monster with bow and arrow. Then I can’t do any further actions and if I press home and load my saved game it restarts to a new dungeon. No way to contact the developer to fix this and forum on site seems abandoned. Willing to amend this review once issue fixed

seemingly unplayable
I figured out how to move around, but it wasn’t obvious to me at first. I was thinking it was relative to the @ but it turns out to be more about specific spots on the screen: left, right, top, bottom, and then the corners (for diagonal moves). I guess I solved that puzzle!
It would be nice if moves could be more responsive and quicker.
On a side note, panning around is possible while pinch-zooming. (I’d prefer being able to do this by one-finger dragging.)
Again, it would be neat if the controls could look more retro/ascii in monochrome mode.

Original reaction:
This is like trying to get a cat to go where you want to go. 80% of the time, it just stubbornly stays put. Sometimes it does move, but not where you mean to go. Other times, it just goes all the way to the opposite wall when you just wanted to move a little bit.
If the movement itself is meant to be a puzzle in its own right, good job—it’s a challenging one.
I have no idea about the actual game itself because I’m too distracted trying to get something, anything, to happen on purpose.
And I actually paid for this...?!

Please fix a bug.
When using staff, the app has been turned off, and the charactor record also has disappeared. If you fix it, I’ll give you 5star review score.
Plus, Please release a new nethack for latest ios version including nice UI. Inethack2 has a horrorble UI so I can’t play.

Leider Fehler
Ich habe Rogue als Student gerne gespielt (1986, auf DEC microVAX, natürlich 80 Zeichen auf 24 Zeilen). Highlight war, dass wir die Namen von Giant Ant etc. durch die Namen unserer Professoren ersetzten...
Daher habe ich mich gefreut, als ich die App gefunden habe. Leider ist die Umsetzung der ASCII-Version nicht gut gelungen: U. a. werden beim Betreten eines neuen "Levels" Fragmente (vom vorherigen oder vom neuen oder zufällig?) angezeigt. Erlegt man ein Monster oder bewegt man sich von einer Fundstelle weg, bleibt öfters ein Minus-Zeichen stehen.
Bitte also erst einmal die Basics an's Laufen bringen und dann die Gimmicks.
Edit Dez. 2019: Neu umgesetzt, jetzt viel besser. Komme noch nicht ganz zurecht, vielleicht müsste die Hilfe etwas verbessert werden? 2->4 Sterne ist es allemal wert.

Great possibilities
If make a little less buggy. It can be a great game. Nothing else close to this on Apple
My Childhood Game
May not be the exact replica of the game that we all love, but it is an amazing game by itself. Has some bugs that I hope get resolved eventually, but functions just fine!
Crashes just like the original
Looks great, gameplay is close enough to the original, brings back memories... but crashes just like the original too.
It’s about 60% there
If you’re looking for an exact replica of Rogue dating back from the 1980s, this isn’t it—it still needs a lot of work to make it the game we all love.
Old version was a lot better
The original version of this app worked very well and was a lot of fun. This all new version, however, is much harder to use and full of bugs plus crashes a lot. Can’t recommend this current version — bring back the old one, please.
Can you fix the bugs plz?
I was excited. The first time I played this app, I had lots of hit points and found a 2 handed sword. Then at 4th level it froze. When it unfroze it kicked me off the app. Went back and my character was at 1st level at the beginning. Had to start all over.
I would gladly pay more to have a solid version that actually works. Please fix now!
