I have an iPhone X. I got the companion but what is the log in page mean. There are no instructions on this. Please help. I don’t see any instructions on the actual app either. 🙃-I really want to play. I am so confused. Please help. Deme ### 5/5 — Great Easter eggs *2017-03-21* Which give more detail to story ### 3/5 — Good game *2017-03-18* It was a little short. Finished it in a couple hours. It was also very difficult at times and needed some help via an online manual. The graphics were good. Just wish it had been a little longer. I played the extra ending as well. ### 5/5 — Immersion at its best *2016-10-03, version 1.2* The game itself has a great story, the art, atmosphere. But adding the companion for those who like to dig into the mythology behind it makes it special. Enjoyed every entry in the diary it made it feel like you actually look for clues the game won't tell you. ### 5/5 — You need it! *2016-10-02* Trust me, if you download Year Walk, you need to get this app. It will help you get the “better” ending (if you can call it that). It also provides backstory and mythology. And it’s free! ### 5/5 — Totes cool *2016-08-14* A must download after the Year Walk game b ### 2/5 — Cannot Download *2016-08-05, version 1.2* It's been two weeks trying to download from my Library without success. ### 5/5 — You have to get the companion app with the game *2016-07-16* Gives you the FULL experience....prepare to be creeped out..in a good way ### 5/5 — Interesting folklore *2016-07-16* This app tells about a few very interesting folklore characters from Scandinavia, the illustrations and descriptions are great. And it's free! ### 5/5 — Great companion for a great game! *2016-01-15* Year Walk is amazing. This companion adds to its beauty. Get this and definitely get Year Walk. ### 4/5 — 英語力必須。 *2015-12-07* 英語でyear walkを解説してくれています。year walkの隠しエンディングを見るためにはこのアプリが必要不可欠ですが、全て英語です。 どうしても隠しエンディングが見たい方は、WiiU版をどうぞ。全て日本語です。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPad bug, please fix! *2026-03-12* I have loved this game and the companion for over a decade but for some reason, now on the iPad the companion pages don’t scroll down beyond the first page, so you only get a bit of information. I’ve tried it on 3 different iPads now and it’s the same with each. It works fine on phones though. Please please please fix! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on modern devices *2025-02-09* After loving Simogo’s more recent games (it’s a scandal that Apple Arcade dropped Sayonara Wild Hearts) I’ve been trying to revisit some of their iOS classics. There’s still great stuff to be found here, but some of them need updating for modern screen sizes. And this in particular is just broken on the iPad Air 4. The game itself really benefits from the iPad screen size, but text in this companion is locked to the first screen of each entry and won’t scroll when swiped. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on modern devices *2025-02-07* After loving Simogo’s more recent games (please bring Sayonara Wild Hearts back to Apple Arcade) I’ve been trying to revisit some of their iOS classics. There’s still great stuff to be found here, but most of them need updating at least for modern screen sizes. And this in particular is just broken on the iPad Air 4. Text is locked to the first screen of each entry and won’t scroll. ### 1/5 — App lässt sich nicht laden..... *2018-03-08* Die App lässt sich nicht laden!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — 読みたい *2017-07-01* 日本語訳してほしい ### 1/5 — Won't download! *2016-08-05* Not sure why, but I could download the main app but not the companion. It keeps failing on me. Frustrating because it appears there's something important in the app. ### 1/5 — Traducción al español ya *2016-03-07, version 1.2* No entiendo nada de nada. Además ni siquiera fui capa de echar una partida, no soy capaz de pasar de varias pantallas con textos. ### 1/5 — Why is the crashiiiing?!?! *2015-09-22, version 1.1* The first time I played through this game everything worked perfectly - now the companion crashes immediately after being clicked on. I've tried deleting and reloading it on both my phone and my iPad to no avail - someone heeeeelp! ### 1/5 — Ios9 support *2015-09-20* Companion doesn't seem to open in ios9. Please fix. ### 1/5 — App lässt sich unter iOS 9 nicht öffnen *2015-09-19* Habe begonnen Year Walk zu spielen und wollte mir - wie von allen geraten - die Companion App runterladen...sie stürzt sofort ab, wenn man versucht sie zu öffnen...habe es auf mehreren Geräten versucht. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So amazing games but so costly *2023-12-19* Guys yours games are absolutely mind boggling and brilliant creations I have ever seen but they are too costly. Can you please do something about it please? Thank you. ### 5/5 — Ipad pro 12.9 scrolling *2022-07-14* Scrolling doesn’t work. Please fix it. You do amazing games or whatever you call that. Thank you!!! Year walk and device 6 are my favorite ones ### 5/5 — So awesome *2020-06-20* I think it’s so cool that this is a way to go deeper ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-12-18, version 1.2* I love this game and I love the history behind it!! ### 5/5 — il gioco più bello di sempre *2018-06-08, version 1.2* Ben articolato, originale, grafica stupenda, si termina nel giro di un’oretta e qualcosa, da scaricare prima di Year Walk Companion che permette poi di scoprire il vero finale. Mi sono sentita una detective a tutti gli effetti, bisogna trovare indizi e badare a ogni dettaglio per continuare a procedere nel gioco. Stupendo davverooooo cerco giochi simili ### 5/5 — （’-’*) *2018-06-01* I think I found out the secret. ### 5/5 — Guys *2018-04-15* I have question what’s is the look up or combination in the app ### 5/5 — Like a Tourist Guide *2017-09-05* Some of the creatures described in this guide is sometimes disturbing but sometimes very interesting. Got chills from reading it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-06-17* Beautiful game with a short yet interesting plot. Make sure you download the companion app if you want the full experience ### 5/5 — Still 5 ⭐️ but needed to be way longer *2017-06-04* This is the first interesting and deeply well thought out game I have come across in a few years. The concept really makes you think, just the right amount of creepy, based on Scandinavian folklore, gorgeous artwork and very very very unique gameplay. This is the exact type of game I've been searching for! The ONLY thing I didn't like was how short it was, especially for a paid app. I beat the entire walk in just a few short hours, I really didn't want it to end! I hope I see additional year walks come out because I'd love to continue the journey! Still giving 5 stars because I was so impressed with the game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
