### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-11, version 1.2.10*

If you’ve never played before, it’s really difficult to figure out how to play.

### 2/5 — Tech-wise Top / But not for me

*2026-08-07*

Call me old fashioned but even after trying hard to love this game I‘d rather play Civ6.
I tried on an IPad Pro M5 12,9“, so the was great, no hiccups, no troubles. For that it‘s a 2star.

### 4/5 — Underrated

*2026-08-03, version 1.2.10*

Civ 7 might not be as good as civ 6 in the way of content or uniqueness but it is still a great game for a casual player like myself to play a civ game and have fun.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-30, version 1.2.10*

I’d give this a higher rating, but unfortunately the game has become unplayable after my first session. It worked great the first time I played, but now the app crashes every time I try to load either a saved game or start a new one.

I’ve seen similar reports from other iPhone 17 users experiencing the same issue. Please fix this! I’d love to keep playing because I really enjoyed the game when it was working.

### 3/5 — 한국 왜 없음 중국이랑 일본은잇는데

*2026-07-24*

한국도 오픈해저 중국이라유일본잇는데 왜 한국은 없음 고구려든지ㅠ신라든지 뭐든간에 한국 오픈해줘여

### 2/5 — Provide 60 frames

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.10*

It's really hard to play without 60 frames. At that time, it was because there was no 60fps that I didn't play 60fps on the mobile terminal. As a result, 7 still didn't have 60fps. You have limited the device and even iPhone 15 can't play. These are high processors. It's okay if it doesn't get a 120fps. There is not even a 60fps. Now which mobile game is still 30fps?😠💢

### 3/5 — Falling behind

*2026-07-20, version 1.2.10*

This App Store version is falling significantly behind the latest version on Steam and elsewhere. Important changes are missing.

### 3/5 — Wann kommt endlich das Update

*2026-07-20*

Ohne das Update, welches das Spiel signifikant verbessert, fehlt leider was

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-07-19, version 1.2.10*

The game is enjoyable, but it currently lacks the extra depth and polish needed to make it truly great. Based on my experience so far, the gameplay feels too heavily turn based. It would be far more engaging if actions occurred in real time, allowing different players to make decisions and take actions without constantly needing to click, wait, and proceed one turn at a time.
Construction is also a fundamental part of the game, but the current system feels too restricted by tiles. Players should have greater freedom to choose where and how they build. Construction should also take time rather than being completed instantly. This would encourage players to plan ahead, gather resources, protect construction sites, and make more strategic decisions.
Many other players have also provided thoughtful feedback about the game. Their suggestions should be seriously considered, as the community’s input could help improve the overall gameplay experience and allow the game to reach its full potential.

### 4/5 — New leaders

*2026-07-16, version 1.2.10*

When we will see a new leaders like in PC???

### 4/5 — Test of time

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.10*

Почему нет и будет ли обновление test of time  как на PC

### 4/5 — Not great, but good

*2026-07-13, version 1.2.10*

I know a lot of people don’t like the different civ per era, but honestly I don’t mind it. Civilizations change over time, and some nations end so new ones can begin. 
I personally love the quest lines for each victory path.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-07, version 1.2.10*

Thanks for bringing Civ7 to Mobile so fast! I enjoy it almost as much as Civ6.
I’m sure overtime I will like even more

### 1/5 — BUGGY - UNPLAYABLE

*2026-08-10, version 1.2.10*

Unplayable n my MacBook Pro M3. Ridiculous! Every time I find a discovery decision, it fails to render the menu, I can’t take make a choice, can’t progress to next turn. Stupid!

### 1/5 — Баги и лаги

*2026-08-07*

Бесконечное создание шейдеров через каждый запуск и ошибка листания страницы при обмене поселениями при заключении мира(оно просто остается на месте после первого свайпа поселений и дальше невозможно листать) 🤦‍♂️ 
уже которое обновление подряд не исправляется. Iph 16 plus iOS 26

### 1/5 — Controls are there

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.10*

Love this series but it just doesn’t work on a phone. Even projecting it onto my TV so I can see it, the controls just don’t work. Combat is basically impossible

### 1/5 — Не дают награды

*2026-07-23*

После обновления пропали награды за выполнения достижений эпохи.

### 1/5 — Needs Test of Time Update

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.10*

This port is fantastic but unfortunately it still does not have the Test of time update which completely changes the overall pace and objectives while playing through the ages. 5 stars if this port receives the update!

### 1/5 — Шейдеры

*2026-07-13*

Не запускается, бесконечно создаются шейдеры

### 1/5 — Confusingg

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.10*

I haven’t tried this kind of game before. I got so confused, there are just too many options and many of them comes with no instructions.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-29, version 1.2.10*

Company completely lost its way with this game.

Waste of time that makes no sense on any level. Don’t waste your money.

Examples are that science is a land based yield that completely destroys dynamics, and settlers might as well be tanks that are near impossible to kill and cannot be captured. 
Control is cumbersome and clunky, water restrictions make no sense.  There is no historical significance.

Game was designed by an idiot that completely lost sight of the fundamental principle of the franchise. 

It’s horribly broken.

### 1/5 — 셰이더 구축에 너무 많은 시간 걸림

*2026-06-27*

이번 업데이트로 실행하면 셰이더 구축에 너무 많은 시간이 걸림
그래놓고 게임을 할 수 있는 것도 아님!!
셰이더 구축화면만 계속 나오고 그 다음으로 안 넘어감!!
아오 승질나!!

### 1/5 — Test of time

*2026-06-22*

Where is the total conversion update “Test of Time”? On the homepage it says “rolled out to all platforms” this is untrue unfortunately

### 5/5 — Love it super fun

*2026-08-14, version 1.2.10*

Keep the peace lol

### 5/5 — Лучшая. Реально сделали здорово.

*2026-08-05*

Мне очень понравилось. Тема с эпохами придумали классно, рабочих убрали хорошо. Стилистики и визуал нравятся. Сделали очень достойную циву. 
Единственное, что можно улучшить это поведение ИИ, чтобы подстраивался под стиль игры и заданные условия. Но все, что касается самой игры, геймплея, мне нравится.

### 5/5 — lity

*2026-08-04, version 1.2.10*

potential upside mitigated by situational margins but i will continue to wait for the loading screen of death to pass so i can destory my enemies as harriet tubman!

### 5/5 — Add Controller Support

*2026-08-03, version 1.2.10*

Needs to add controller support with BackBone Pro

### 5/5 — Love it.  Please update

*2026-08-03, version 1.2.10*

Greatest mobile civ game ever.
Please bring test of time and other updates.

### 5/5 — Very detailed graphics

*2026-07-28, version 1.2.10*

Immensely cool game I am new to it I wish they told you more about how to play it but to do a right click on a MacBook hold control and tap the touchpad.

### 5/5 — 歴史ってこんなに難しいのね。

*2026-07-18*

適当にやれば平和な国ができるかと思っていたら、敵国から攻められて生産力が低下し、棄権しました。泣
こんなに難しいのかとつくづく感じました。
軍事力はとても大事だなとゲーム内で感じます。

### 5/5 — PC content when?

*2026-07-17, version 1.2.10*

Runs good, when is the newest version and test of time update coming??

### 5/5 — Little Bugs Great Game

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.10*

Overall amazing game but it’s tad bit buggy esp when it comes to hostile independent cities

### 5/5 — Great game to add to your Apple Arcade App List

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.10*

I’ve been a fan of Sid Meier’s Civilization series and Civ VII is another great evolution.  I enjoy this Apple Arcade version and it really look great on my iPad Pro.  This one is a keeper!
