1. [R1] Magic 1/5 · GB Greedy devs get worse with each update: only 1 free card at a time now rather than 3 forcing me to log in every 2 hours. not going to happen think i've hit the end of the road with this - great game but too heavily geared towards pay to win
2. [R7] Magic 1/5 · GB Just like the real game.: Been playing this for a few months now. Many complaints. The app is very play to win. Somebody that has invested money into getting gems etc. Will have better cards, a better planeswalker, and better ranking than you. All this because they have money to spend. So either you grind forever in the hopes of getting something good. Or just buy everything and win every game wi
3. [R18] Magic 1/5 · GB Recent update removes enjoyment: I'd read a few reviews before I downloaded this game last month to suggest the game was stacked against players who didn't spend £££'s but found it to be fun nonetheless And a game I was willing to make in app purchases for. The recent update removes any balance and asks for more cash to progress. The daily challenges were fun, but now one comes at a cost to win a
4. [R22] Magic 1/5 · GB New update has ruined it: It is now just a money grabbing game. Really saddened by this as I used to love this game.
5. [R4] Magic 2/5 · GB Glitch on heroic mode: When I battle Nissa in the heroic challenge and you face Gaia's revenge with evolutionary leap, it keeps crashing whenever that support is destroyed. Please fix it
6. [R10] Magic 1/5 · GB Won't work. Stuck in update loop: Start game, says there's an update and forces an open of the AppStore. The AppStore doesn't have an update. No way to bypass. Uninstalled.
7. [R13] Magic 1/5 · GB App sends me to AppStore for update: ...But app stores says I'm upto date and sends me back to App... in a loop right now!!!
8. [R15] Magic 3/5 · GB Cool but some mayor issues: Not being able to play offline is a total bummer. Completely awful.
9. [R3] Magic 3/5 · GB So far so good: However this app doesn't seem to have a cloud save or Game Centre save option. What if I want to change phone?
10. [R30] Magic 1/5 · GB Only buy if you never plan to upgrade your phone: This is a well written game that hooks into the Magic universe well. The game gives you lots of free things and encourages you to make any in-app purchases. Given how quickly you can rack up these purchases, it is inexcusable that there is no game center integration, local play or a way of properly synchronising your account. To restore your purch
11. [R47] Magic 4/5 · GB Great game: Awesome, another way to waste my life away. Would have given 5 stars but all my progress was lost in recent update (hadn't played or updated for months)
12. [R9] Magic 3/5 · GB Rigged: I really enjoy this game but there are issues with it that are very irritating. The battles against 'real' opponents are actually battles against real opponent's decks. The AI controls the deck & the match. This removes the possibility of human error & can stack a game against you. The enemy AI is incredibly 'lucky' the higher the level of the matches. I'm an average skilled player, nothi
13. [R20] Magic 1/5 · GB Used to be my favourite game: But now seems to be worse in every way. Prices have only gone up, bugged cards will still rob victories from you, and the ai getting massive cascades, which used to be a necessary balance to make up for the terrible ai, makes a battle against a mythic deck an exercise in frustration. Combine this with having to pay crystals to enter events which used to be a hard won
14. [R24] Magic 1/5 · GB Awful: Started so well but ai is against you as you will lose most games even if you were thrashing them
15. [R34] Magic 1/5 · GB Fix the issues!: This could be a great game if they focussed on fixing the issues instead of releasing overpriced mythics and card packs. Crashes several times a day losing the battle, particularly frustrating during events. The AI is really poor at playing decks so they compensate by having it generate huge mana gains with cascades, it's clear that the AI can see all of the upcoming gems that the
16. [R16] Magic 1/5 · GB This was the best of Mtg and Puzzle Quest...avoid now: I've been playing the game for a year and have decided to downgrade the review to one star. Frequent bugs, a substantial reduction of in-game rewards, and now more expensive purchases. This was fun once...but not any more.
17. [R51] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Not good: Please fix your app. It crashes mid game all the time and cause to lose a life.
18. [R52] Viola’s Quest 5/5 · US Distrae: Es un juego agradable para distraerse no como otros q estresan por lo difíciles que son para pasar de nivel.
19. [R53] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Pay to win: This game is ok, but is definitely designed to make you buy boosters gold on a regular basis. It’s very stingy on being able to win or acquire boosters without paying. In addition, some of the mechanics are clunky - the aiming and timing of the marbles can be inconsistent which makes gap shots harder.
20. [R54] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Freezes: It’s a good game, but unfortunately constantly freezes on IOS. I have newest version of IOS and have updated and even reinstalled the app, but it constantly freezes. It’s an app related issue and the developers do it nothing to resolve the problem. I’m on level 85 and can’t get past it because it literally locks up every time.
21. [R2] Magic 5/5 · GB Excellent game!: 5/5 - you can progress in this game for free if your willing to put the time in.
22. [R56] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Glitchy: I’ve had this game for years, the update has caused it to freeze and you have to restart the whole game.
23. [R57] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Crashes constantly: Been playing for ages and now all of a sudden the app crashes constantly. Super annoying.
