### 5/5 — Achats disparu

*2026-08-16, version 1.4.7*

J’ai acheté ce jeu il y a un certain temps avec tous les DLC et maintenant je n’ai plus rien???

### 1/5 — Freezes up in later game session

*2026-08-15, version 1.4.7*

Love the Civilization series it’s my favorite game basically however this port on iOS is not playable once you populate your civilization much, it becomes unplayable and I couldn’t finish my playthrough, spent money on the game for like an hour of gameplay or something like that but I don’t want a refund, just fix the game plz may God bless you

### 4/5 — Very good game with very minor issues

*2026-08-13, version 1.4.7*

I have civ 6 on nearly every device I have and I always enjoy it no matter what, I can’t see the difference between mobile and console/PC besides not having mods and no world builder menu which really needs to come to mobile, and the graphics are a bit downscaled  so that’s probably the only thing about this game on mobile but besides that it performs well and is very fun and enjoyable…

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-08-12, version 1.4.7*

Stole $90 by not downloading the additional content I paid

### 1/5 — DLC fails to download

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.7*

DLC downloads stuck at 0% on latest iOS iPhone 17 pro max.

### 1/5 — Restoring IAPs doesn't work on iOS 26

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.7*

Restoring IAPs doesn't work on iOS 26.

Neither does screen rotation on an iPhone to change which way the power port is facing (left or right for when you want to use your phone while it's charging).

Please fix these.

This game not getting an update in two years doesn't seem promising. Come on, Firaxis! Please support your games.

### 5/5 — Fun, addicting, expensive

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.7*

Such an amazing game. Incredible strategy, fun and exciting. I love that the maps are realistic to earth. Nothing better than playing as different countries on the True Start Mediterranean or TS Europe map. To buy the game with all the expansions costs over $100. I would love some more explorer maps, like detailed countries, continents, regions etc. like the DLC you can get on steam.

### 2/5 — Boring

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.7*

Civ VI falls far short of the mark for Sid Meier. It takes forever to build anything. If things could be built in less time, the game would move more quickly and it would be fun.  As it is, nothing happens over and over and over again. And I'm playing on Settler, which ought to be a breeze.

### 1/5 — Have to Pay Twice

*2026-08-08, version 1.4.7*

I played this game a lot all last summer, now I open it to play again and it wants me to pay again for the base and all the expansions- not acceptable for such an established company

### 3/5 — Pay wall

*2026-08-07, version 1.4.7*

You gotta pay them after 60 turns
