### 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…

### 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.

### 3/5 — Pay wall

*2026-08-07, version 1.4.7*

You gotta pay them after 60 turns

### 1/5 — F y’all man

*2026-07-30, version 1.4.7*

Y’all suck, I want my MF money back. I’m trying to restore my purchase wtf

### 1/5 — Over $100 spend on Steam… another paywall

*2026-07-27, version 1.4.7*

I have the expansions and most of the DLC on steam. Why can’t I transfer that content on my iPhone 17 Pro Max? Stop being greedy and treat your loyal fans right…

### 1/5 — Reinstalled after a few years

*2026-07-25, version 1.4.7*

Why do I have to buy something before I can play? I already purchased it years ago. Restore purchases doesn’t restore my purchases. This seems broken

### 4/5 — Great fun, No Restore

*2026-07-24, version 1.4.7*

I temporarily removed the app from my phone for extra space, redownloaded and No. Dice.  I had all the DLC and they wouldn’t restore my purchases.

### 1/5 — Impossível jogar se tiver de apagar e reinstalar

*2026-07-22*

Comprei praticamente todos os pacotes mas depois que apaguei e reinstalei fica travado nesse maldito trial e não consigo mais restaurar a compra. Tenho um ticket no suporte onde não querem nem me responder mais faz mais de 3 semanas. VERGONHOSO

### 1/5 — Restore purchases

*2026-07-21, version 1.4.7*

Paid for the game and many add ons, updated iPad and now it won’t let me restore my purchases. FIX THIS!!

### 4/5 — Good game go but needs updating!

*2026-07-20, version 1.4.7*

I played this game for years. It is getting a bit boring. The gameplay graphics are good.   There are enough leaders and different challenges to keep you busy  

The game needs to be upgraded to civilization seven   

Or the game needs updated logic for the AI. Move.

### 2/5 — Tolles Spiel, freche DLC-Preise

*2026-07-20*

Ich spiele Civilization 6 normalerweise am PC und habe damit unzählige Stunden verbracht. Die Version fürs iPad ist ebenfalls sehr gut spielbar, ich kann keine großen Abstriche feststellen.

Das große Minus kommt jetzt: möchte man die beiden Add-Ons „Rise & Fall“ und „Gathering Storns“ hinzufügen und noch ein paar zusätzliche Anführer, ist man schnell knapp 100 Euro(!!) los. Das ist einfach nur frech und eine Schande für die ganze Serie, zumal es mittlerweile schon einen Nachfolger gibt und Civ 6 in der Platinum Edition (also das Basis-Spiel + alle Add Ons + alle DLCs) auf dem PC für unter 20 Euro zu haben ist. Entweder hat man hier einfach vergessen, die Preise anzupassen oder es ist einfach nur ein dreister Versuch, treue Civ-Spieler kräftig abzumelken.

Wirklich sehr schade, da die iOS-Umsetzung sehr gelungen ist, aber ohne die zusätzlichen Inhalte wird das Spiel schnell langweilig. Insbesondere dann, wenn man diese auf anderen Plattformen schon nutzt. 

Sobald hier die Preispolitik angepasst wird, passe ich auch meine Bewertung auf 5 Sterne an. Unter den aktuellen Umständen kann ich leider nicht mehr als 2 Sterne geben.

### 1/5 — Silly

*2026-07-18, version 1.4.7*

Why would you make a game but you can’t only do a tutorial

### 3/5 — Not good enough

*2026-07-15, version 1.4.7*

Good game but didn’t care enough to care about their app. Shame. Lacking in obvious areas. If only they cared…

### 1/5 — No access to the game

*2026-07-14, version 1.4.7*

I’ve already paid for the game and extensions, stop playing for a couple of months, and when I go back, I got to pay again for access to the game.

### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Пишите сразу что игра платная

*2026-08-06, version 1.4.7*

Пишите сразу что игра платная

### 1/5 — Paid for the game and all expansions, but now want me to pay again

*2026-08-06, version 1.4.7*

Like many reivews, payed for the full games, but now downloaded the game again, and asking me to pay for it again

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me restore my DLC I bought

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.7*

I was looking up that the last update was about 2 years ago
I downloaded on my new iPhone and no matter what I do my DLC doesn’t download
The only DLC download is the leaders pack

Is there any way the developers can fix this? I enjoy playing Civ 6 but if I can’t redownload the content I paid why would I play future games and buy its DLC’s if the app won’t respond when I try to restore what I purchased

This is frustrating and will let other people looking to purchase for iPhone know what my experience has been like

### 1/5 — Restore Purchases doesn’t work

*2026-08-02, version 1.4.7*

Major bug with critical feature remains unfixed on iPad/iOS - can’t restore previously bought base game or DLC on iPad/iOS. They just ask for more money and there’s not helpful information in the support link provided

### 1/5 — Fraud!!!

*2026-08-01*

I choosed 60 turn free. And this app charge me 12$. It is fraud!!! I want my money back. I deleted this.

### 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???

### 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.

### 5/5 — Good on pc not phone or iPad

*2026-07-29, version 1.4.7*

I love the game and all the details but it is only good on the pc and not the phone and iPad. When I bought the game on the pc I could not stop playing it. It is so fun.

### 5/5 — 为啥ios26.5以上不能恢复购买

*2026-07-23, version 1.4.7*

为啥不能恢复购买高版本的设备，尽快修复啊

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-21, version 1.4.7*

Absolutely Perfect ! For those struggling to restore your purchase, simply buy it again and it’ll tell you you’ve purchased it already. Yes, the fear that you’ll be charged again is there, but as long as you are using the same Apple ID, you won’t be charged. I’m not sure why the developers haven’t just told people this, but that’s all you need to do. The same goes for the expansions. Purchase them again, and as long as it’s been paid for already, you will not be charged.

### 5/5 — Can we please rename cities on iPad version?

*2026-07-20, version 1.4.7*

I can’t believe how inexpensive this is and the accessibility without the need for WiFi! I’m played as a kid and have been killing waaaaaay too many hours glued to this game. That said one of my FAVORITE parts of prior versions was the ability to rename cities. It was fun and it helped with recall when bouncing around the screen. Would LOVE it if this could be added for iPad version. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Make a sale

*2026-07-10, version 1.4.7*

I’m waiting for a sale and I’ll buy all of them

### 5/5 — rahhh

*2026-07-09, version 1.4.7*

skibidi toilet brr brr patapim

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-07-05, version 1.4.7*

Looks real and brilliant

### 5/5 — 구매복원 안됨

*2026-06-26*

2018년에 돈내고 구매했는데 구매복원 눌러도 반응이 없습니다
