### 5/5 — Nostalgia galore

*2025-07-27*

Brought back many good memories playing this. True to the original. Very enjoyable

### 5/5 — Simon the Sorcerer 1

*2025-01-27*

Help please save game bug

### 2/5 — Great game

*2025-01-24*

Doesn’t save your progress. “Continue” and “load” are greyed out. You can only start a new game even when you save the game.

### 2/5 — Great original game, poor app

*2025-01-10*

The original game is great as it always was. Just purchased it to find out that the sound doesn’t work on iPad. Therefore low rating.

### 2/5 — Non salva

*2025-01-02*

iPhone 12. 
Uno dei miei giochi preferiti. Ma non salva 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — Crashes on save

*2024-12-18*

Lovely to see this again but whenever I try to save the app just quits. No way to play it without doing the whole thing in one hit.

### 1/5 — Great game ruined by save bug

*2024-12-14*

It’s a pity because the game itself is perfectly intact but the save function doesn’t work and simply crashes it when you try and save the game.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-09-05*

Todo perfecto, buen juego y genial vrsion , si tuviera que poner algún defecto, le incluiría un joystick para mejor movilidad.

### 3/5 — Game closing when trying to save

*2024-06-03*

Game was running fine was really enjoying it, but for some reason has started to close whenever I try to save or load looked everywhere online for a solution but can’t find anything, attempting to delete and reinstall game but all my save data has been lost because of deletion if this continues after reinstall I will be asking for my money back.

### 1/5 — Wären 5 Sterne, aber …

*2024-04-07*

Stürzt permanent bei den bereits schon genannten Stellen ab. Das konnte man bis zu einem gewissen grad noch durch reisen über die Karte umgehen, aber beim Sumpling und am Baumstumpf mit den Holzwürmern geht es jetzt einfach nicht mehr weiter. 
Und laut den Bewertungen existiert dieses Problem schon länger. 
Das ist sehr schade und für den Preis von 7,99 Euro echt  mies, da dass Spiel nach kurzer Spielzeit nun nicht mehr weiter läuft. 
Warum gibt es kein Update für diese bugs?
Dann wären die 5 Sterne vollkommen gerechtfertigt.
