★★★★★ "Good game, but the sound doesn’t work on iOS 16.3.1.. I would rate it higher if the sound work, because it is otherwise the same classic game that we all know and love. There also seems to be no way for the image to be blown up to fit modern, bigger screens so be aware of that as well." - SeanReviewer

No sound ruins game
This bug that removes all sound and audio from the game really kills it. So disappointing. This game used to be amazing years ago.
The lack of audio is actually GREAT!
Playing Pocket God a decade or so ago was fun but, I ALWAYS felt like it was missing something. It turns out this new version solved the problem: Eliminate the sound! The music and the sound effects were just a HUGE distraction for me and I want to thank the developers for dropping them. Shigeru Miyamoto would be rolling in his grave but I don’t mean in a bad way, I mean that he would be going “Aha! Wow, this is great! I should have made silent Mario”. (Obviously it would be in Japanese and it would be backwards because he is a ghost.).
OVER CHARGED???
Game says it is $.99 and I got charged $4.24 why??
I loved this game as a kid.
I guess that I was to naive to realize how incredibly racist the concept and gameplay is.
Pésimo
El vídeo me engañó y pensé que era un buen juego para pasar el tiempo….. no puedo hacer absolutamente nada mas que tirar a unos niños por la montaña y que un ave cague sobre mi cabeza…. No se gana, no hay objetivo, no hay nada…. Y no se puede cambiar de idioma, o por lo menos yo no lo consigo… NO LO RECOMIENDO, HORRIBLE
Broken
Sound doesn’t work at start. No way to fix I can find… no support. Shame such a good game back in 2008
No sound on iPhone 12 Pro Max
I get no sound even cycling mute in settings not on headphones either????
Refund
I would like a refund my son bought this on my phone without my permission
No Update!!??
I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max and it still feels like I’m on my iPod touch from 2008!!!!!
Weird glitch in AppStore ranking
Game is not updated for 6+ years, not really supporting new devices, and not really that fun, but for some reason still in top of AppStore.
No sound
I used to love this games so I downloaded it again and now there is no music all I wanted to do was hear the music when they danced
Doesnt look good on iPhonr 12 pro max.
Not good. I want a refund.
It won’t even open
I just purchased this game and it won’t even open. Can I get a refund?
Bug.
So I have pocket god on my moms phone right? That’s good! But when I go to download it from my dads phone, IT JUST WONT EVEN DOWNLOAD? It shows the loading circle and shows the cloud back! (This was in the app store.) Please fix this! And I tried to download on my dads phone for my brother to play baffle of the gods.
Good game, but the sound doesn’t work on iOS 16.3.1.
I would rate it higher if the sound work, because it is otherwise the same classic game that we all know and love. There also seems to be no way for the image to be blown up to fit modern, bigger screens so be aware of that as well.
aging
Why have u got rid of the aging thing in the game when i used to play them this it was my favorite thing to do and i am very upset that it does not work please fix this thank u
Sound issues
The sound never works.
Used to be amazing, now NEVER updated
App developer abandoned app while leaving it on the App Store for money. The game has terrible resolution, and doesn’t fit any of the larger screens. Really disappointed and a waste of 3 dollars
What happened with updates
Fourth slide: updates keep coming!
Last update: 4 years ago
If the developers give up on a game, why do they believe the audience should still be engaged with the same content they've had for years? They should make late term refunds a thing, because this is a waste of money *now*
