### 5/5 — It needs an update!

*2024-01-05*

I’ve been using this game since 2017, and I really had fun with it.
But after reinstalling it, now I can’t enjoy it without it crashing every other 30 minutes.
I noticed that this game hasn’t been updated in 6 YEARS.
I really hope you read this and fix it.

### 1/5 — IDK about others, but this is utterly broken for me.

*2022-06-05, version 2.0.2*

I was very excited when I first found out that there was an RPG Maker on iPad. I downloaded it only to find out that if I wanted to use custom assets, I had to pay. --to which I had absolutely zero problem with. I paid for the features to use custom assets only to find out that the game was broken, and it took my money but still didn't let me upload my custom assets. 

Contacted the Apple Store, luckily they refunded me the money. I uninstalled the software from my iPad since, but I'm surprised to see it still on here. Don't pay for any featues for this game. I think the developer left the platform a long time ago. Before I reached out to the Apple Store for support, I reached out to the creator first, and I never got a response from them. 

If they are reading this, I seriously hope they come back to continue to fix and support the app becuase it has a lot of potential, and I was genuinely super excited to create so much stuff using this app. Unil then, sadly it's unusuable to me. I can't create or save anything, and I can't upload my artwork or music. It's just eye candy for me.

### 2/5 — Dang

*2022-03-27, version 2.0.2*

I was looking on steam to find a good game. I found this game called “RPG Maker” I looked at it to see what it was. “Wow, this looks pretty good!” ,I thought. Until I saw the price. “My God!” 90 dollars! Jeez man! I know you’ve done games like this and this for a long time, but wow. I felt sad. Till’ I found this. “Cool, that game but free!” But, I found out that this is a buggy mess. It crashes when I do basic things. I have a good phone with plenty of storage on it. So this, this professional-made game(I’ll give you that.) is a buggy mess. But I enjoyed it well I still could before it erased all my progress. Good job, but still, just uh, just work on a little bit okay, buddy?

### 3/5 — Lots of potential, but an update/bug fix is needed please!!!

*2022-01-27, version 2.0.2*

At its core lies the potential for a great game for those who enjoy making RPG’s. I tried it for awhile, and bought the full game. The problem is, at any given moment, the game will suddenly crash and progress will be lost.

### 5/5 — Fix the bug oh ready

*2022-01-25, version 2.0.2*

Fix when you get in an battle when you attack or do anything you get kicked out

### 4/5 — Game bugs

*2021-11-10, version 2.0.2*

First I gotta explain how great this app is it’s so easy to use and it’s a perfect app for beginner game makers but one problem 
Every time I try texting my characters get killed by walking and when I get a game over or try to stat my characters my game crashes and I cannot scroll to the second slide to move this application will be a five star if the bugs were to be fixed

### 3/5 — Plenty of potential but crashes too much.

*2021-10-21, version 2.0.2*

I am a game design student and wanted to practice level design outside of school. It is great and would consider buying the premium version if it didn’t crash so much

### 3/5 — What I’ve been looking for except bugs

*2021-05-13, version 2.0.2*

I really have been looking for an RPG maker and this is the one that I have found that I really liked. The only problem is the bugs. Can you developers, please fix these bugs? I have experienced various crashing on multiple occasions and I’d like this fixed.

### 3/5 — Good but some issues

*2021-04-21, version 2.0.2*

There is a bug where sometimes when I attack it closes the app and I don’t know why anyways that’s it but it’s annoying when you are trying to kill a lizard when the game crashes.

### 2/5 — It’s good but it crashes way too much!

*2021-04-02, version 2.0.2*

I played the game for a little while and there was many times I would be trying to edit the data when my game crashed. This happened over and over that it ruined the game. But I think it could still be a great game if the crashes are fixed. Without the crashes the game gives you a lot of freedom in what you make. Overall I think it would be fun if there weren’t so many crashes.
