### 4/5 — All good things come in time

*2026-08-31*

So far this app has been great. No you can’t build yet, no you can’t go into your inventory and Rez something or use some things but SL is a computer high graphics game played on a PC and this app will take time for developers to figure out so if expectations are lowered this app is actually quite helpful for checking in to read im’s, group notices, hanging out with friends, listening to music.  Sure it would be great if you could build but that isn’t possible at the moment but who knows maybe in the future it will be but for now it’s still being fine tuned. I am happy that it is available for my iPad. The early days of SL (PC version) the development was slow and the similar to this but as time went by it grew into what it is today and I have faith that this app will do the same.  So I will continue to enjoy the process.

### 4/5 — Second life app

*2026-08-28, version 0.1.309322*

I think it’s an improvement on the mobile app I had before , movement is better too.  One thing I would like is to be able to change group tag names- is it possible to? ( rather than having to sign in on my pc )

### 4/5 — J

*2026-08-09, version 0.1.309322*

Not bad, the worlds do not really fully load in but not a bad app. Could use some improvements

### 1/5 — App Does Not Zopen

*2026-07-27, version 0.1.259026*

A very bad app. Insists that I must allow notifications but there is no way to allow it. Opens after about 20 attempts and if I click to see messages it freezes. Basically a piece of junk.

### 2/5 — Lack Of Features

*2026-07-08, version 0.1.259026*

Theres no inventory, hover height or AO options to fix your avi to suit. If you look crazy then you gonna LOOK crazy until you get on desktop.

### 1/5 — Bad update stops play

*2026-07-06, version 0.1.259026*

Can’t get past a screen asking to enable notifications, so doesent work at all now

### 3/5 — The game is okay but

*2026-07-05*

The game is okay but, it really doesn’t need a lot of work, I hope you guys make it just like you do on computer because I know it’s possible. Secondly buying linden dollars is very expensive, it makes it difficult to get started on buying and making things. Also the game is complicated which makes people not want to play it so much which I believe you can make customization easy and still have it your way and the linden prices need to go down so things can be easier especially for beginners. You guys make it hard for beginners to really get started at that’s how you lose people, so please change that and more people will play, you have to paint the bigger picture when creating a game like this, when you create a game like this you make things cheap which is A+ for people and will bring more people in.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We know there's still room to improve, and we're actively enhancing the mobile experience with new features, performance improvements, and usability updates. We also appreciate your thoughts on the new user experience and the in-app economy. If you have additional suggestions, please share them with the dev at feedback.secondlife.com

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2026-06-27*

absolutely do NOT buy!
This game is genuinely awful. There are barely any words or choices at all, so you can’t even interact with anything in a meaningful way. You don’t get to customize your character or change anything—it’s just stuck like that no matter what.
The graphics are terrible, like unfinished and ugly, and everything looks buggy and broken. Half the time it feels like the game is falling apart. There’s basically nothing to do except walk around, and even that feels clunky and pointless.

The world is empty and boring with nothing interesting going on. It honestly feels like a rushed prototype that was never finished or tested. There’s no depth, no fun, and no reason to keep playing. Just overall a frustrating, low-quality experience that feels more like a glitch than an actual game.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-06-26, version 0.1.194450*

Unusable sense it crashes after 30 seconds

### 4/5 — Adult regions

*2026-06-13, version 0.1.194450*

Can you unlock adult regions and worlds
