Namely the cutscenes were completely absent when I played it. The game also crashed on me a few times and the background music would just disappear. I would recommend the shame to anyone but please just fix the bugs. ### 4/5 — TWEWY life before IOS 13 *2020-02-17, version 1.2.4* I played this game before the update of IOS 13, It is still the best game mixed with story, gameplay style, art style, and characters with crazy origins. But still it is sad is also unplayable. 4.7/5 Stars ### 4/5 — Please update soon *2020-02-15, version 1.2.4* I am in love with The World Ends With You, but I didn't think my playing this game ended with "you". My only concern with this app is that it's not compatible with ios13 or my iPhone 6s please update! ### 4/5 — Great title *2020-02-07, version 1.2.4* I played this 2 years ago and it was amazing! Unfortunately I reinstalled it on my iPhone and all the cinematic are bugged, plus the controls seem to be broken? Would appreciate some fix or feedback; and gladly give this title 5 stars! ### 3/5 — APP HAS PROBLEMS *2020-01-28, version 1.2.4* I recently payed for and downloaded this game (2020) and I have an IPhone 6s with IOS 13. For some reason, every time I try to load the game after pressing “New Game” from the menu, the game will not begin and instead goes to a black screen. SE has to fix this and update the game so I can finally play what everyone calls a masterpiece. ### 5/5 — STILL works, ios 13.3 *2020-01-23, version 1.2.4* I just bought an iphone xs updated to ios 13.3. I had bought the game when it first came out so i wanted to re-download it and play it. Idk why most recent comments say it doesn't work because mine still does... ### 5/5 — Fix please *2020-01-04, version 1.2.4* Hi, i have an Iphone max with the 13.3 ios. And the game doesn’t start. Don’t pass the start screen. Can you please fix? ### 4/5 — Kinda works on ios 13 iphone 11 pro *2019-09-29, version 1.2.4* I was surprised this worked since they stopped support 3 years ago but to get the cut scenes to load you have to swipe from the bottom of the phone to get into your other background apps but not exiting the app just re-enter the game and the cut scenes should load have fun! ### 4/5 — Love but one problems! *2019-08-14, version 1.2.4* This games amazing but the game goes to a black screen for most of the cut scenes so you’re clueless as to what’s going on, please fix I was disappointed to just look at a black screen and hearing things in the back😔 ### 5/5 — Even better than the DS version! *2019-06-17, version 1.2.4* The graphics are crisp and clear and it’s easier to play now that you can just control both characters on the same screen. Doesn’t lag and the sound is as great as ever!! A+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no longer works needs update *2020-04-25, version 1.2.4* re downloaded this for the first time in a while after getting a brand new phone and I can’t get past the home screen without it freezing. There doesn’t seem to be any intention to update it so not worth buying if you’re thinking to. ### 1/5 — It won’t let me start a new game *2020-03-13, version 1.2.4* I bought this game for almost $20... and it won’t even work... I open the app, then it goes to the title screen... I click “new game” and it just goes to a black screen... I tried to uninstall/reinstall but it still won’t work... I’m frustrated already and I haven’t even played the game.... get it together... ### 1/5 — dont waste your money the game doesnt work *2020-03-01, version 1.2.4* bought this game bc i loved it on my ds. my ds no longer works so when i found this on the app store i was so excited! that excitement quickly faded however when i tried to start a new game and was met with a completely black screen. this happens every time and i even tried deleting the app and redownloading. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — End of an era... *2020-02-26, version 1.2.4* Once this game was absolutely amazing. I remember when it was first released on iOS and it was just incredible! Phenomenal music, brilliant gameplay, and a truly Epic story. Unfortunately with time, Apple constantly pushing updates and Square Enix NOT doing the same, the game doesn’t run properly on current devices. Which is sad... I have loved this game and was looking forward to playing through it again, but can’t at this point. As such I have to strongly recommend that folks avoid purchasing this game at this point until the issues many are reporting are fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work... *2020-01-18, version 1.2.4* I love this game, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on iPhones. I have an iPhone 8 and it's updated, but when I hit new game all I see is a black screen that doesn't change after a couple minutes. So I have to say don't buy this version, get either the Switch remake or try to find the original DS version. It's a brilliant game with fantastic music, a solid story, and the combat is fun and unique. It's a shame Square Enix doesn't appear to be supporting this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2020-01-17, version 1.2.4* Saw it was excited to play it and download it only for it to give me a blank screen when I hit new game every time I tried to play did it in air plane mode and when I had signal and followed it again and repeated and nothing for a blank screen I complete was of money Ps I have a iPhone 10 with the latest version of iTunes if any one wants to know. ### 1/5 — Time has ruined one of the best games ever... *2020-01-15, version 1.2.4* This is hands down the best port of this great game however square many years ago has stopped updating this game and apple did not stop updating their devices. Don’t buy this unless it gets a more recent update than 4 years ago as you literally can’t start the game due to it crashing upon hitting new game. If you have a DS get it there and it’s honestly better than the switch port but if you have no other choice go to switch. ### 1/5 — Game won’t load!!! *2019-11-08, version 1.2.4* I spent $17 and can’t even play the game...I’m really disappointed! I tried deleting and downloading again 3x...nothing is working! I want my money back, or the issues fixed! Never had an issue with any of the FinalFantasy games I’ve downloaded, but for whatever reason this one won’t work. Please help! ### 1/5 — Not updated for iphone 11 Pro Max *2019-10-31, version 1.2.4* I have purchased this game in other platforms and its one of my favorites. In recently acquired an iPhone 11 pro max and decided to give it a go. The game starts, but as soon as I tap on new game a black screen takes place and nothing else happens. The game could also use a resolution update to take advantage of the bigger screen on this version of iPhone. ### 2/5 — Crashes at Start *2020-03-18, version 1.2.4* For some reason I can’t get the game to properly work, it initialized, start menu, then freezes and leaves me stuck at a black screen. Im playing this on an Iphone 8 so Im not sure whats the heck is going on or why this hasn’t been looked into. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-04-21, version 1.2.5* Played since I was teenager fantastic for 100+ hours collecting and Fighting yes this way smoother than ds version great job i should say music awesome. Developers please keep it up with the new games. ### 5/5 — Great story. Fun game *2020-12-24, version 1.2.5* The World Ends With You is an incredible game and one all rpg fans should check out. I played the ds version and I played this version years ago. The story is great and the game was fun to play. The solo version was a good rendition of the game. EDIT: with the new update, the game works great on iOS 13. Definitely a game worth checking out if you’re looking for a good storyline with some fun gameplay. I’m pretty impressed with the developer’s commitment to updating a several year old game too. ### 5/5 — Finally iOS 13 support *2020-06-28, version 1.2.5* Glad our feedback went through! Please let this work on iOS 14 ### 5/5 — It’s about time! *2020-06-25, version 1.2.5* First update in 4 years! 😭 Game finally works again for me. Now how about a PC port of the Switch version? 😜 ### 5/5 — No longer playable *2020-05-10, version 1.2.4* If you have iOS 13 please don’t buy this game. It doesn’t show must of the cutscenes. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-04-17, version 1.2.4* Please update for the newest iOS.

I don’t play mobile games but this is real thoughtful and great port of an amazing game ### 5/5 — Shame *2020-03-30, version 1.2.4* I Really enjoy always playing this game forever just sad to see the new update has it with just a black screen and I can’t play anymore ### 5/5 — Bad news *2020-03-28, version 1.2.4* It appears that after IOS 13 this game does not work on iPhone ### 5/5 — Screen stays black when starting a new game *2020-02-01, version 1.2.4* I’ve been trying to start a new game on my iPhone but every time I try to, the screen stays black. I’ll just play the Switch version from now on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
