    Don't listen to any of the negative reviews. They were all written about 10 years ago before this game got heaps of updates that makes it easily the best game you can get on mobile. A must have.

    I cant speak for the IOS version but i can speak for the android version an it is amazing everything that is in bedrock edition (windows 10 edition) is there but as for everything that is in java edition (computer only) is not such as refined redstone builds meaning easier redstone. but i still like it

Minecraft is an adventure sandbox game where the aim is not to give players freedom to explore a 3D world made up of square blocks. The game's main gameplay is about breaking and placing blocks, with the game world consisting of block-like objects that represent materials such as soil, rocks, minerals, and wood, and the player harvests various materials to build their tools and buildings. However, the game is not only about destroying and placing blocks, but there are many other systems such as fighting or co-opting with uncontrolled characters like "Mod", animal husbandry and growing plants to make food until the production of some blocks with special procedures.
    Basically, this game has 2 game modes. It has a Survival mode and a Creative mode and you can adjust the difficulty up to 4 levels: Peaceful, Easy, Normal, and Hard. In Survival mode, players must collect materials to craft items and tools and collect experience, and in this mode, the player also has to maintain their blood level and hunger because in this mode, there will be blood, hunger, and inventory and when underwater, they will have oxygen. If the player doesn't maintain their blood and the blood value is run out, the player will die and return to the spawn point, losing all items and experience. And in Creative mode, which is a mode that gives players unlimited access to resources and items, can destroy objects instantly, access to something that doesn't exist in survival mode and in this mode, players will never die because there is no blood, no hunger, and they can still fly! In order to create whatever the player wants.
    In my opinion, Minecraft is a very cool game!! It fostered my imagination and allows me to unleash a lot of creativity in both modes, with a game that gives players complete freedom to explore different areas, which has a downside for new players who may find it challenging to explore areas because they may get lost. On the other hand, people who already know will be able to focus on the target immediately and if playing with friends can cooperate and survive together, but if playing alone I feel a bit boring, but In the game there is also a mod that the Modder finds a way to change the game whether it makes the game easier or harder so that the game doesn't get too boring, but sometimes I'm annoyed by the mod's algorithm. All in all, the mod helps to spice up the game and sometimes even facilitates making it easier to play. In the end, I think this is a very good game and suitable for everyone.    … Expand

    While it may have deserved the mixed reviews in the first year or so after release, I think that now Minecraft: Pocket Edition is on par with all the other editions of Minecraft - maybe a bit below, because the controls are difficult to get used to.

    Minecraft is a game that we really like. It's really fun to mine supplies, get materials, and search for diamonds and gold in temples, strongholds, and villages. This is very exciting. The server minigames are pretty fun too. We are looking forward to the new cave update because it looks way more interesting and fun.

    The gameplay itself is ok. Its fun to speed run but what i’ll be talking about are the PE servers.

    Minecraft Pocket Edition is actually enjoyable. Even though it's not the same as playing it on a PC/Mac or Xbox, it's still pretty good, even though it needs to add the missing things that are on different editions.

    I love playing this game, it has no limits, and it's very simple. My problem with it is that it's becoming a little too complicated. Then there was a huge texture overhaul, and to be honest, I miss the old ones. They are constantly adding new content when the game was perfectly fine on its own. So, I'm giving it an 8 instead of a 9 or 10.

    It is worth the money and it gives you the full minecraft experience on your phone. But I am not a fan of the crossplay, where a player with a Windows 10 plays much smoother than on a phone.

    Ignore any reviews that were made before 2016. Minecraft for iOS (and by extension, the Android version too) has improved to the point where it's just as good as the PC version.

You can trust me when I say that, as of the day this review was made, it's almost as good as the PC version. I've played it for over 3 years now, and I've seen the game go from a watered-down port missing many items and features to an almost identical port only missing a few items and features, and even having some exclusive ones. Something many people take for granted is how the control scheme was adapted to iOS, which I think turned out great. Most of my opinions on the PC version are the same as with this version, except this one doesn't quite have everything, so it isn't quite as good. Also worth mentioning: this is the best iOS game I've played because it's one of the few that plays like a real game, and not a time-waster.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This new update is absolutely fantastic. It adds in the Ender Dragon, and just about every feature from The End as of 1.9 PC. Get the app while it's still 9.99 because now that it's out of alpha, the price will be rising to 26.99 in the new year. By far my favorite version because of how smooth it runs and how feature packed it is.… Expand

    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.

    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.
