    Although there are some flaws with this app, it still stays true to the core concept of Minecraft.

    There was a time when saying 'Minecraft' was synonymous with punching and dropping blocks in to a virtual world; now it has far more depth thanks to continued updates and community developed modifications, but Minecraft - Pocket Edition features none of these and simply replicates what is already available online for free.

    Not really worth the price in its current form, unless you're a die-hard fan of the Creative game mode of Minecraft. And yet it still manages to be a recommendable series, as there's something zen-like about just building to your hearts content.

    Minecraft: Pocket Edition misses the mark. Without enemies, item crafting or resource gathering, the building experience will quickly bore most gamers.

    Minecraft: Pocket Edition could potentially be an awesome thing someday. Until that day comes, though, it is best purchased by the curious, the affluent and the hardcore fan.

    Minecraft - Pocket Edition is disappointing, featuring neither mining nor crafting.

    This iOS version, alas, is akin to the original's early iterations. You're only offered the sandbox creation mode, in which you potter about a vast landscape, placing blocks to build stuff. Recreate your own house; make a fairytale castle; spell out 'help, I'm bored' – the choice is yours. And that's basically it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a note to mojang AB To make Minecraft pocket edition iOS better I suggest that you at least put in nether portals and some mods or texture packs. Can you please also put in dispenser buttons or pressure plate and red stone torches please. But overall it's a lot better the the demo version.… Expand

Also work out some way to support mods and texture packs.… Expand

Bad thing is it makes users lose their interest fast and try to build cities and failing.i mean,it doesn't even have physics.blocks float midair like a Helicarrier when they should be reaching terminal velocity at 120 MPH.only thing that makes this game unique is... Is.... I don't know at all,there are way better games and yet this one stands out for no reason.but it deserves a bricked 5/10!… Expand
