Dont bother downloading its the worst game ever

Long time SL user

I been playing SL for about 16/17 years now. I think it’s great to see them trying to make a mobile client happen, and especially since Apple silicon is so good. I have a m2 iPad Pro, and while I prefer using SL on my pc or MacBook more, it is very nice to see the improvements being made. I think being able to zoom in and out should be made easier so we can get somewhere quicker. Maybe I’m not doing something right? The worlds load in and while I don’t think an app version will ever look as good as the actual pc/Mac versions of SL its getting close. Can’t wait to see the future of SL for mobile/ipad.

Issues

Every time you release an update it doesn’t work on iPhone . Seems only every two updates does the iPhone version actually work

Hate hate this app

Update: I thought I'd give it another try after uninstalling it months ago and I still hate this app.
Now when you login it autoplays music. Who tf decided that was a good idea!? Do ppl who work on this app even use it?

This app makes me outraged. I HATE IT.

I hate this app with every fiber of my being. Using it engages me to no end.

Horrible ui. Cluttered and ugly. So much unnecessary info when you login.

Avatar never loads and is perpetually grey.

You've hidden the log off button now? Why? Who the hell decided that was a good idea? And you ask if we're sure we wanna log off?

Why is there sound when you login? There's no option to turn it off. I HATE hearing sounds on the region I'm in.

Can't turn off group chat and notifications. Can't figure out how to pull up my profile.

Just basic common sense features seem to not exist.

Update sucks

Update made app load slower

Wonderful Support App

For those already active in Second Life on their computer, this app makes a wonderful addition. As of 2026, personally wouldn’t use this as my only access to Second Life. I’ve been active in Second Life, since 2013 and so pleased to have this app as an alternative means to enter my favorite virtual environment. I wouldn’t wish to be without this app. If you’re new to Second Life, after installing this app(or before installing it), be sure take your computer and go to secondlife.com and install it on that device. Second Life is a full featured metaverse, with a diverse culture. It’s my “home away from home” and may be yours too. I don’t see Second Life as a game. For me, it’s either a foreign country or a weekend vacation destination, that’s as easy to get to as logging into my computer or in this case, my cellphone. I recommend the experience. Oh yeah, one other important thing! Second Life doesn’t sell you personal information.

Very laggy

This app is so laggy you can barely chat with friends without it freezing your phone up and crashing. I have a newer iPhone by the way.

App has potential

App has potential but there should be a way to use aos

Barely downloaded

It’s kinda of similar to IMVU and some other games i have played. I’m only giving two stars for now until i see how good it is or not.

All good things come in time

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.

Second life app

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 )

J

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

App Does Not Zopen

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.

Lack Of Features

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.

Bad update stops play

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

The game is okay but

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.

TRASH

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.

Crashes

Unusable sense it crashes after 30 seconds

Adult regions

Can you unlock adult regions and worlds

Terrible graphics and we can’t even create a NEW MESSAGE.

What’s the point of this app when it’s glitchy and we can’t make a new message to send to someone… not friends btw.
