### 3/5 — Eh

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.2*

Good game wouldn’t pay £3 for it

### 2/5 — Update is laggy

*2026-06-12, version 2.5.2*

I don’t mind updates but the game now has major framerate issues even on my two-generations-old iPhone. I also don’t like the new entering fever mode sound effect but that’s more of a subjective opinion. The game is amazing otherwise, but it’s just not playable when it randomly drops to 10 frames per second for a few seconds. If this is fixed the next time I play the game then I’ll update my review accordingly.

### 3/5 — Not as remembered

*2026-06-07, version 2.5.2*

What a fun game. It’s worth your time. Paying for it is just worth it for the price. That being said, the advent of reducing frame skips (iPhone 16 pro) and potentially adding promotion (120hz) would send this over the edge twice over one star each. As of now it just sticks out to me as something that could be better for 2026

### 2/5 — Capitalism strikes again

*2026-05-21, version 2.5.2*

This was without a doubt one of my favorite games ever. I got all the nests, even the extremely difficult challenges, and enjoyed trying to get gold in all of flight school. Upon booting up the game again, it has become mobile game slop. I'm deeply, deeply saddened by this. The game was never free to play (and I assume it still isn't), so adding so much junk to what is supposed to be a simplistic cozy game has crushed my heart.

### 4/5 — Great and then not

*2026-05-21, version 2.5.2*

Why is Apple charging monthly $7 USD to upload and play Tiny Wings+
I’ve purchased Tiny Wings over 15 years ago and recently again. It definately is fun but this time for some reason challenges stopped coming. I’m not entirely sure but I’d think there were more levels than this. I’ve been stuck on a level that 10 super jumps need to be made on island one which I’ve been trying for months more. Usually the game will expire and a new level will be available. Note it has stopped and also on the other challenges where you can earn stars on each island in the number of levels. I haven’t earned anywhere near all of the birds. But purchased enough To see there’s really no difference between them. Very little. They all seem to come truth the same abilities another bird has and there’s no upgrading the power to it. So choosing a bird for a skill really isn’t worth much. IDK for such little diversity the game is monotonous throughout. Especially a paid game of $3 USD AND TOP have in app purchases as well then to add insult to injury the plus game by Apple wants a high amount MONTHLY to play competitions. It’s disappointing all of these speed bumps definitely ruin the will to want to play. I understand the developers abandoned the game but apparently someone is still in charge of it to be collect money as of today. Why not have Apple make improvements that help complete challenges with birds of different abilities that have a clear difference?? Disappointed but still trying. But how long until people really just get sick of it?

### 5/5 — Still a classic

### 5/5 — Thank you, Andreas, for brining this legend back to the App Store, great to have it available again!

*2026-04-30, version 2.5.2*

❤️

### 5/5 — Super Fun!

*2026-03-31, version 2.5.2*

Love this game. I like to play just to chill & tune out sometimes. 

When I visit family, all the little kids give me hugs & talk to me a lot because I let them take turns playing TINY WINGS in 5 minute intervals. Great ice breaker as I don’t see them too often. 

I play the free version - And there are no pop up ads!

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Funn

### 5/5 — Amazing game

### 5/5 — The Music Alone is 5 Stars

*2026-02-27, version 2.5.2*

Tiny Wings was the first game I played on my cell phone. So simple, yet charming and fun. I started playing on my commute to school and fell in love with the music and colorful world Andreas created. I felt a sense of accomplishment like no other when I completed the final nest, and now with new birds to unlock, I can’t wait to play again.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-24, version 2.5.2*

It’s awesome I absolutely love this game it’s worth the price, I’ve been playing since I was a little kid definitely worth my free time, I really recommend it. Please keep up the hard work!⭐️

### 5/5 — 天才之作

*2026-02-22, version 2.5.2*

我一直想不明白，这么复杂的实时轨迹是怎么在iPad2跑起来的。直到今天ai告诉我，那就是一只喜欢摆pose的鸟在y轴上动。一行if骗了我十多年。作者太秀了⋯⋯

### 5/5 — Comfort game

*2026-02-19, version 2.5.2*

I used to play this game when I was a kid with my sisters and I used to suck so bad, I come across it again and it’s so fun I even got better

It’s such a comforting game with the style and the music I love everything about it, it helps distract me when I’m stressed out  and there’s no annoying ads or anything like that

10/10 best game ever

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Frame rate issues!

*2026-01-23, version 2.5.2*

I’ve been playing this game forever but it’s an unplayable mess on iOS 26. It suffers from constant frame rate drops and stuttering on the latest Pro phone. The recent app updates haven’t resolved this or even mitigated it yet.

### 1/5 — Choppy Graphics

*2025-11-01, version 2.5*

No longer playable, no fun when frame freezes constantly come and go.

### 1/5 — INSUFFERABLY GLITCHY ON IOS 26

*2025-09-28, version 2.5*

i used to love this game. i've been playing it off and on for a good ten years. the new update was awesome until i updated my phone to ios 26. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. i've tried making sure it's the only app open when i play. restarting my iphone, everything. now it is so insufferably glitchy that the fun has been completely sucked out of it.

### 1/5 — Big Bubbles

*2025-09-28, version 2.5*

Whoever thought of adding the random bigger bubbles throughout one’s run should be fired.

### 1/5 — Frame rate issues on iOS 26

*2025-09-27, version 2.5*

Completely unplayable on iOS 26 due to terribly inconsistent frame rates and slowed/speed up movement. iPhone 16e iOS 26

### 1/5 — iOS 26 issues

*2025-09-25, version 2.5*

Unfortunately lots of issues with iOS 26. Choppy play, unable to unlock some birds. Cannot recommend it at the moment.

### 1/5 — Bad framerate

*2025-09-25, version 2.5*

Could somebody explain to me how a game I bought in 2012 and ran fine on contemporary hardware now lags like hell in 2025 on an iPhone15?

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2025-09-21, version 2.5*

This game is very laggy on iOS 26. It is very hard to play now. I hope it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2025-08-05, version 2.5*

Frustrating game to play

### 1/5 — Points for Slides & Cloud Touches Fail to Register.

*2025-08-03, version 2.5*

Points shown at the bottom of the screen for completing a great slide or cloud touch are not being added to the points total during “Today” mode on a Day Trip.

### 5/5 — WE ARE SO BACK!!

### 5/5 — wonderful game

*2026-07-01, version 2.5.2*

sound on iphone se is fixed after being gone initially

### 5/5 — SO GOOD

*2026-06-24, version 2.5.2*

This game is perfect. Great graphics, satisfying motion, just mindless enough that you can play while watching tv but also challenging enough that I am motivated and could play for hours! Definitely worth the very small expense and it makes such a difference to pay for an app that will fulfill your needs and not annoy you with ads. 1000% reccomend for those searching for a game to become addicted to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Love this Game

*2026-06-23, version 2.5.2*

### 5/5 — High Quality Game

*2026-06-11, version 2.5.2*

Easy to pick up and hard to put down. It’s very well made.

### 5/5 — Dreamlike masterpiece

*2026-06-02, version 2.5.2*

I’ve been playing Tiny Wings since I was around 5 years old, and I’m 20 now. It’s been with me through so much, especially during high school. The game has so much to offer: beautiful map designs with colors and patterns that look like they came straight from a children’s book, music that creates a nostalgic atmosphere, and some pretty chill birds. 

These birds may have tiny wings, but they have big dreams.

### 5/5 — This game is so fun I love it

*2026-05-26, version 2.5.2*

I used to play this game on my moms phone when I was a kid and redownloaded it to play it again. It’s as fun as I remember :).

### 5/5 — Rice
