### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-02, version 2.4.2*

The game is just as the real game 10/10 recommend worth everything.

### 5/5 — Игра

*2026-03-12*

Разработчики с другом только платно играть можно по сети?

### 1/5 — It kicked me out 😭

*2026-01-01*

I love to play Ylands, but it kicked me out and sent me back to the starting point thing! Pls fix this!!!

### 1/5 — Download Roblox instead

*2025-09-05, version 2.4.1*

As the title suggests. Do yourself a favour

### 4/5 — 😢

*2025-04-14, version 2.4.1*

I love Ylands but it kicked me out

### 5/5 — Connection

*2025-02-02*

Amazing game to play, but on mobile at least i have been running into the game telling me to connect to the internet even though i am connected. Has resulted in long loading times, traveling to other ylands aren’t possible some moments, and trying to hit map on boat helm gives an annoying 2 minute wait time for two notifications of connect to the internet (even though I am).

### 5/5 — Love this game.

*2024-10-13*

Less than $5 for the complete game. So much to do and see and build. One of the best games on the store.

### 5/5 — Great Game, one issue…

*2024-07-29*

This game is great. I watched YouTubers play it long while back. It looked fun and I wanted to get it. I got it and realized that things had changed since I last saw anything about it. I never saw quests when I first watched someone play it but I see those, those aren’t my issue. My only issue is that the game crashes, sometimes frequently. I haven’t really found a way to save my progress if there is. I am running off of my autos save files. Auto saves are at random and take forever to happen. One might happen before I do something and then the game crashes, losing whatever I do after the save. I know that it is a pc game crossed over to mobile and that crashes are more likely, and Im alright with that. The crashing has slowed down for me after a few days so it’s alright right now. But if there is a way to save manually, I’d like to know. Im also up for making quicker auto saves.

### 5/5 — Good game, great on Steam, Meh on mobile, buuuuttt...

*2024-06-29, version 2.3.1*

Why no controller support on mobile?

### 4/5 — Won’t let me play

*2024-04-04*

It’s saying my device is too old and won’t allow  me to update it but my sister has the same device and she can play with out  a problem , i don’t get why its different for me the device is the exact same model .
