dead app no updates
this runs great on my old ipad . on new hardware the ui is hilariously tiny. please atleast update this gem to scale with new devices . also add purchase baring support across family thanks . get a version to work for ipad pros with the trackpad keyboard that would be sick . you could probably re-port it . i know bg3 players will start taking interest in this game .
Useless on an iPhone
Menus are unreadably small, as are any help messages. They appear to have simply shrunk the pc screens to fit the phone.
Too many bugs
I have gotten very far on throne of bhal. Faced a glitch that wouldn’t let me continue. Same issue with black pitts. A lot of time wasted to not complete the game. That game was extremely fun until those issues
Tiny texf
Text was so small on the iphone I couldn’t complete character creation.
Awful interface
Game unplayable. No way to select enemies or aim attacks. You have to pause to select options. End up dead just because the pause button is hard to activate. Spent 30 minutes creating a character which can’t ever be used. The view of action is so bad you have to read the text to very slowly figure out what happened.
Buggy
I played to the end of the first dungeon. Opened a description window for a dire charm scroll. Suddenly enemy dialog and fighting is happening behind the window and there is no way to close the window. No x, no swipe, nothing. Just stuck in the scroll screen while everything is happening. All other functions are greyed out and unavailable. I have no idea what would have solved this problem but there were not a lot of options to try. I was forced to quit and I lost all the progress. 3 stars for a buggy port of a classic game.
Enhanced ?
Says it’s bg3 EE …. Where are all the extra classes ?
Shame I paid
Can’t get a refund but I’m totally allowed to play this game that has bugs who destroy every play through I try to do. 1 star you greedy pricks
Someone screwed up
This used to be playable, but it’s now almost impossible to manage the different characters during a fight. It won’t let you simply select which character you want to take an action using the character portraits on the right, and it won’t let you select who to even cast a spell on half the time. These are the worst gameplay changes I’ve ever seen.
Thought it would be turned based combat
I played BG3 and thought this would be a fun game on my iPad. Unfortunately the combat is chaotic and you have to pause the game, then select actions on each character but you can’t move the characters to be able to select enemies. I wish they would’ve stated that on the game and am unable to get a refund per Apple even after purchasing this less than 24 hours ago.
Not happy with Apple or this game, so 1 star!

Don’t try to play on iPhone
Buggy and best to play on iPad
Awesome until you encounter a major bug and discover..
The link to their tech support is to a page which no longer exists. I guess I’ll restart and guess when I f’ed up the ranger storyline so I can avoid doing whatever caused me to not be able to complete it the first time.
Regret
Bought it on sale. I feel cheated.
Developers have long abandoned
Like every other game in this collection the developers have long abandoned it. They will never update the games to work on small screens and have only updated the description that maybe you should only buy the iPad version (but will still sell you the iPhone version).
It should’ve never been sold for phones. The only response you will get is “thanks for the feedback” or they’ll direct you to their forums which are none existent now.

My puechases for baldurs gate I was gone
I’ve buy baldurs gate I & II + siege of dragonspear, and when I want to play it again my baldurs gate I was not purchases. Please restore it.
Only Buy for iPad
Unplayable on my iPhone. Too small and no way to expand the side bars. I assume it’s better on the iPad
Game File Deleted
The app somehow got Deleted off my iPad, but the icon remained, but it also will not re-download back on. I paid good money for the the Infinity Pack, and now out of nowhere, the game gets removed and isn’t re-downloadable? Please explain.
Don’t use on iPhone
You can’t read or see anything - the game play is terrible. Might as well be a text based game. I’ll take this down if I can get a refund.
Not playable on iPhone
Not unless you have a magnifying glass or want to end up cross eyed.
Don’t buy for IPhone XS
Everything is way too small. To read the text is a real pain. Scale function doesn’t help at all.
Too Broken to Finish
The original game is excellent, but I’ve just hit my second quest-breaking bug. The first was in De’Arnise Keep, where a key failed to spawn, rendering the quest impossible to finish. Now I’m in Spellkeep and the hand of dace is not triggering entrance through a big stone face. Looking up these bugs online, turns out the only way to fix them is to buy a computer version of the game, transferring my save onto a computer, fixing the issue via the console, then transferring back to my phone.
I feel cheated. I purchased this item thinking I had a complete product, but it turns out I now need to buy the pc version of the game to complete my game experience. The hand of dace bug has me trapped in a central quest dungeon with no way of progressing.
These bugs would be completely tolerable if the devs added a console to the game. The original games were equally buggy, bless them, but at least there was usually a way of fixing things and progressing forward.

The controls are horrible
The gameplay and controls are worthless on a phone.
Hero never progressed past 15 XP
Managed to get finished all including Watcher's Keep Level 2 with hero at 15 xp and Nalia at 22. They never progressed and all others are over 100. Also Nalia would not learn any spells. Had to use a scroll every time.Very frustrating.
Characters won’t move - waste of money
The characters won’t move at all. Paid money and can’t play the game.
very buggy, but great until it stops working
I’ve been having a great time playing this game, but unfortunately it is extremely buggy. I’ve gotten to a point, not far in the game, where i can’t progress any further because the game crashes whenever i enter two distinct areas which are required to progress and i cannot access a third area. very frustrating!
2.5 broke bgee for iPad ... can't open small hidden containers anymore
Things like the diamond in tree at beginning of game or the ring to south just outside friendly arm inn ... etc. was great game and fun on iPad but to many containers and stuff I can't click on with finger on iPad now ... don't download or pay u til they fix this !
Bugs

iPhone X
Giving trouble on IPhone X. The Char creation “ pick your gender” windows are stuck open once you start the game. Also not full screen. :(
Latest update shrinks down App
Not sure why, but this game is suddenly taking up about 5 inches of screen real estate on my 13” iPad Pro. Same with Icewind Dale. Please fix. This app was too expensive and too recent to be sunset.
Love the game, but needs to be upgraded/patched
Love this game from way back. Played BG1EE to be able to port over a character, which worked fine. BG1EE is great. But the difficulty slider on BG2EE doesn't work, and you are perpetually stuck at "normal", which isn't all that normal (max hp per level, enemies do 75% of normal damage). Don't want to bother playing an easy version of the game. Fix and I'll increase my rating!
So they patched the game, but STILL the difficulty slider does not work. It appears to work, but no matter what setting it says, leveling up always grants max hit points. SERIOUSLY!?! You guys can't fix this? Why?!?

Limited
Limited avenues of play
1) While you have the option of being an evil character, the story and the primary NPCs revolve around being a good character.
2) You can only beat the game with specific party profiles - high-powered magic users and fighters. Your other character classes offer limited support and can actually become liabilities in combat situations.

Resolution is too small
It’s hard to read and see overall it’s a very bad port
My eyes hurt on the iPhone 13 pro max
I couldn’t make it through character creatation. As much as I love having these games on here this one cannot be played. It’s a small square on the phone. Civilization 6 does a better job.
I gave one extra start bc I love the effort to bring it to mobile but it’s not there yet.

Please update the resolution
The game doesn’t use the full screen on an iPhone 12. I guess this is no longer supported?
Couldn’t play or read the text.

So Many Bugs on IOS
Great games. Fantastic to see this in a port for iPad. However there are so many bugs still. I am completely frustrated with my game freezing up all the time or the Settings not working correctly targeting messed up etc. etc. if it was free I would not complain but I paid money for this. It should be finished. iPad 8th Gen. 🙁
Update the game please for iOS
Please update to IPhone 11Pro
Great game, but export issues
Love the gameplay but can’t export/import saved games to Dragonspear or BG2ee. Stinks having great characters but can’t play on. Using iPad so trying other ways to do file transfer but shouldn’t have to.
Buggy
Can’t finish game because bugged at very end challenge. Please fix bugs and make this a great game.
Throne of Bhaal bug
Can’t initiate contact with any NPCs. . .real drag since story is 3/5ths of why I like this game. Can’t change party members can’t talk to the “butler” to combine items. . .unless convo is initiated automatically your quest is broken. . .if you can even initiate it.
Controller
Ok, this game is out on a few consoles, and has controller support. The iOS version here does not have controller support. Please add controller support.
Can’t see anything
You think since it’s in the iPhone they would have made the ui phone friendly but alas. I can’t see anything it’s so small and I can’t even hit half of the menu icons.
Bug prevents playing
After defeating Bodhi in chapter 6, her coffin doesn't appear. This blocks any option to continue, and no console to overcome this bug, so basically that's it - you are stuck and no way of playing further
