### 5/5 — Expencsive

*2025-10-25, version 2.2*

This is super cool you can make your own swords or go on their market to buy some but they are very expensive so be ready to spend a lot of money

### 5/5 — Good Design App

*2025-03-13, version 2.2*

I have designed 5 nice swords and one tanto. I ordered one of them. Custom sized my Wakizashi blade. I've spent hours designing and re tweaking those  other designs.

 I've two other cheaper Katanas from other places. The cheaper one is nicer better made, the slightly more Expensive Damascus one will kill a Zombie, but was fake Damascus, and was not well made, but may look nice to someone buying first sword. (Katana Store, boo!) 

I am hoping for the price… my Sword from here, is legit and rates 5 star.

### 2/5 — Super Buggy

*2024-10-15, version 2.2*

The app started off to be alright, but If you try to save a custom created sword, as soon as you sign out and sign back in again, all the swords you’ve created for your wishlist, that you’ve just work hours carefully putting together just vanish into thin air, like they’ve never existed , how fun is that, the website version works well, but this app, not that bueno my friends.

### 5/5 — Beautiful everything about it

*2024-05-20, version 2.2*

You could buy your sword

No ads ( for me atleast ) 

It shows what each part does of the sword

Good app / store

I saw this on a ad so yeah. 😁

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2023-08-31, version 2.0*

Not for kids if you don't sign up because you can create your own katana but it's at least £900 and if you get it it delivers a real katana

### 3/5 — Good but can’t buy

*2023-08-15, version 2.0*

crashes everytime you go to pay so not very useful to any one

### 5/5 — Absolute W App

*2023-07-03, version 2.0*

This katana is awesome, high quality, and absolutely epic. Would suggest this app and making a purchase.

### 4/5 — Performance issues

*2023-06-25, version 1.3*

I’ve been a user of this app for a long time, but I had taken a break for a while and now it doesn’t work. Please deal with this issue, thanks.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2023-06-24, version 1.3*

The app just loads incessantly and never lets me even see the first page.

### 1/5 — Idk

*2023-06-22, version 1.3*

I didn’t even get to play the game because I’ve been stuck on the loading screen for 30 minutes now.
