Hard 😡

It was unbearably hard to get money and it’s so tedious. It honestly feels like a pay to win game. EXCEPT THERE ISN’T AN OPTION TO PAY TO WIN.

Arabic language

I love the game but I wish it had Arabic language 🫠

Controls

Not sure why the game doesn’t have the option for keyboard and mouse for tablet users. At least I don’t know how to enable it if it is available. It would make the game infinitely more fun. Played this game a ton on the computer and the lack of that option really dampened the enjoyment.

Save your money

The game itself is solid and I see why people love it. But the port to mobile devices is the single worst UI I have ever seen. It’s like the asked an AI to design the user interface, and the AI had no existing knowledge of humans, how their hands function, or how they interact with devices. Just the most clumsy, awkward interface, to the point of being unusable. And don’t even get me started on fishing. An entire branch of skill development that’s basically not pursuable because of the awful interface. Wait until they make a functional game, or play it on a different port/device.

Pls fix this stardew valley energy bar is half hidden

The energy bar is half hidden in iPhone 16 pls fix this omg

Love the game

Love the game, one thing though- sometimes when I go into my slime hutch I get soft locked from the amount of slimes bombarding me and I can’t move or go to settings

Fishing

It’s really hard to catch fish and I can’t download any mods to help me can you guys just make it easier for iPad / iOS users please i can’t download any modes on iOS

Can’t play on mobile

I bought this to play on my phone and I immediately realized that I won’t be able to. The camera area completely blocks the tool bar and the left side of any text boxes. You also can’t see the full energy bar, and other controls are hard if not into see. Apple says that I am not eligible for a refund, even though I have had it for less than an hour. Do not buy if you plan on playing on mobile.

F me

This seems to have not been QA’d on real hardware. When I’m travelling from scene to scene (area of map) I constantly get stopped by my finger hitting my phone case. I have to bend my phone case or change zoom view to cross that threshold.

The game soreley needs an input deadzone at the perimeter, I’m constantly switching tools while reaching to the opposite side of the screen. My palm touches the edges while reaching with my thumb. Padding / dead zone at the bottom would be helpful because I’m constantly bringing up the iOS running app list when trying to grab an inventory item from the bottom most row.

You know how even if you’re holding an axe, your first strike on a tree shakes it for seeds? *everything* needs that on mobile, where first swing is a nothing, because it is so, so, so easy to be holding the wrong tool in your hand at any given moment.

Auto combat needs to return you to the previous tool you were holding. Beacause after combat, I go to resume mining/hoeing and it is no longer that tool any more, so I have to scrolllll, scrollllll, scrolllll back up to the tools section, every time.

There is no option to reset settings to default, so if I’ve accidentally changed something because it’s possible to effectively have a cursor at multiple places at once, I have no idea what the sane default was.

Tap just outside the toolbar? F me, I’m walking there now. Have water can out to fill up at the pond, walk back to water crops. F me, it’s a sword now. Mis-tap the wrong square? F me, my pickaxe just destroyed that object. Tap to walk somewhere, and pinch to zoom out? F me, I just aborted the travel action.

Basically F me all around.

Ui

Please make the UI fit better on the screen for iphones, and make cutscenes work properly

Needs controller support for apple

Plz it’s bad

Best game ever!!!

This is for sure my favorite game I had it on my Nintendo, my brother had it on his ps5 and now I have it on my iPhone 15 and the game has so many fun quests and things to do it’s super fun and you don’t need internet and I’m super excited for the new 1.7 update I bet it will get even better!

Can ANYone get the game to running their stock iPad 9?!

Mine refuses to go past creating a new player. There is no way to start a new game on my 64gig. iPad9.

The game IS working beauty on my XBox One S! Lvl 10 on all ‘cept Fishing and 1 other. 200,000+g.

Would be nice to play on this thing as well.

Great game but could be improved

It’s such a fun game! I like how you can play it as an adventure game, fighting game, design game, story game, chill relaxing game, or a little bit of everything!You can really adapt it to your tastes and preferences. The small town vibe is capable perfectly, the village is so charming and interacting with the villagers is such a cool feature! I love how everyone has their own personalities! The only issues I have with it are I would like it if there were more options (like multiplayer) on mobile devices, also it’d be great if you could go back and change the name of: your farm, character, children, etc. instead of it being stuck forever, and I’ve had some issues with the sounds and music in the game but that might just be my tablet. Otherwise it’s overall fantastic!!! :D

Nice game, UI Doesn’t Fit

The game is a nice farming sim with RPG elements. It’s fairly playable on iPhone, but the UI elements get cut off around the corners and the camera cutout. This means the inventory bar is hard to fully access, and the energy meter is cut off on the bottom. It’s possible to tweak the UI size and placement a bit, which helps, but it’s not a perfect solution. They should readjust the placement of the UI elements and have a default setting in the menu. If they fixed the UI options then this game would be great.

UI messed up

The game is fun but on my phone the menu bars are off the screen. This needs to be fixed.

Features, missing. $5 down the pothole

I played this game for some total of five minutes, had no options to change how the thing operates. Couldn’t plant the seeds, no way to get to the garden. This thing doesn’t I deserve more of my time.
Dumped it.

Amazing

I love this game so much it is so fun!!!!

很不错

很好玩 就是前期入坑没有攻略和新手教程有点讨厌

Best Game Ever!

Genuinely one of the most amazing games I have ever played. Stardew Valley combines all of the aspects of my favorite games and I couldn’t be more happy with it! It might be confusing at first, but utilize sdv wiki!!
