Please deal with this issue, thanks. ### 4/5 — Good but needs work *2022-07-18, version 1.3* They is good, you can preview your katana before you by it but there’s some glitches and bugs. And sadly they don’t have tamahagane but they should add it if possible. ### 4/5 — Amazing but please add this *2022-06-18, version 1.3* The apps good I would give it a 5 star but it does not have a wood option please add wood as well as more color and design for the katanas ### 4/5 — A. Almost A+ *2022-04-02, version 1.3* Works great for Katanas but it should be upgraded for all their custom blades and how about a Tachi custom app. ### 5/5 — THE TRUTH.. *2022-03-24, version 1.3* Jesus Christ Is Lord & He’s coming soon. Don’t take that 💉 ### 5/5 — Really good *2021-12-23, version 1.3* I love the ability to completely customize your own katana. You can even change the color of the blade and choose the type of Ito wrapping (wrapping on the handle). ### 3/5 — Please fix the major bugs *2021-12-06, version 1.3* I am a big fan of the samurai culture , love playing goes to Tashima. I personally owned a katana that I love. I would’ve given six stars if there wasn’t so many problems with the app, it freezes when you try to load up your previous save , it just stops working if anyone can go ahead and update this app it will be an amazing app,,❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — GREAT APP! *2021-09-29, version 1.3* Samurai Swords Store app is user-friendly. For someone who is not really techy, I find the app easy to navigate. Though you may also want to check the website for more options and simpler navigation. But in this app is where you see the 3D or actual view of the sword that you design. ### 5/5 — cool *2021-09-22, version 1.3* For now, I am waiting for my swords to be shipped here in the Philippines. Can't wait to finally have my customized swords. And I am thinking for buying another one this coming Christmas as a gift to my fellow swords enthusiast/ coworker. ### 5/5 — Good App ✊ *2021-09-22, version 1.3* Samurai Swords Store is a very practical app. I can not only buy swords for my collection but also customize them through this app. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Exellent! *2021-09-20, version 1.3* This app makes me think of the old days when I was just watching different kinds of anime that includes swordfighting! Great App! ### 5/5 — The best *2021-09-17, version 1.3* What I really liked about the samurai swords store is that you get to have your own profile (which is sleek, by the way). It is very personal which I really like since this has become my hobby ever since. It helps me really get in the zone of exploring the swords and customize them. It is also active in delivering news about new products, discounts and upgrades. ### 5/5 — Yep *2021-09-14, version 1.3* Samurai Swords Store offers a lot of (legit) discounts every now and then. Which makes the products affordable for me. Not to mention the gift cards that I could buy for myself, and what I can give to my friends who are also enthusiasts. Mode of payments of this app is also flexible! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Loading issues *2023-06-05, version 1.3* Don’t get me wrong the idea really cool but every time I launched the app it stayed gray screen ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading *2021-12-06, version 1.3* Stuck on loading sooooooooo ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2021-09-10, version 1.3* This was so bad it had graphic that didn’t load and it took so long to load don’t get it ### 1/5 — กาก *2021-08-21, version 1.3* กาก ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-01-17, version 1.3* This app is a cool idea but it crashes a lot and the pinwheel of death comes on. I wanted to just build my sword before I buy it. Looks like they lost out on a sale... ### 1/5 — EXPENSIVE AND SLOW *2020-08-31, version 1.3* Each part coasts real money and some parts coast $250! The loading time takes forever! DO NOT GET THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Nul *2020-08-19, version 1.3* Pareil l application ne ce lance pas ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. 😁 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2022-12-04, version 1.3* First time downloading their app and I was confused. Contacted their CS and their kind enough to help me through the app. Very grateful. Waiting for my katana to arrive. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2022-12-03, version 1.3* I collect different kinds of swords to display at home, so when I saw Samurai Swords Store, I thought of going for a custom katana. I'm amazed with the quality and beauty of the katana! I am going to have more swords made to add to my collection. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-11-28, version 1.3* I'm always amazed at how people get to customize their katana. Now I know how by using this app! I'm looking forward to my first katana. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-10-18, version 1.3* Really fun ### 5/5 — The Blade *2022-06-11, version 1.3* The only problem I’m having is the polishing it keeps making the blade a certain color instead of the right color I want to save it with please either reply to me about this or look into the problem please and thank you ### 5/5 — . *2022-05-21, version 1.3* I enjoy using Samurai Swords' app because it's user-friendly. You'll need to wait for a while since most of their orders are made to order, which makes it more exciting and special. Can't wait to have my Katana! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
