    Im sad to see the 2 poor reviews even one from a critic who should be informed that this is not the final release of minecraft iOS pocket edition. It even says v0.1.2 ALPHA just like normal minecraft this will have updates with new features, they can't simply press a button to transfer from pc to iOS. He mentioned it some time on twitter or his blog.

    well to all of the people who didn't wait for it to become really epic with multiplayer and survival mode and waaaaaaay better controls. i would have to say suck it because the new minecraft is defiantly worth 7.50 dollars

    To the people who give this BAD FUDGING REVIEWS GO YOURSELF.
    This game, is not finished. It is an awesome game, especially because tablets have such less power then PC's. SUCK IT, PEOPLE WHO GIVE IT BAD REVIEWS.

    The best game i have ever played. Pocket Edition is better than Xbox 360. I haven't tried PC yet but this is awesome and this is the best way to play Minecraft in my opinion.

    I cannot imagine why on Earth Minecraft has such a low score. This is an excellent little game. Myself and my seven year old daughter love it. I play on the Kindle Fire HD and She plays on My Samsung Galaxy 3. We often do multiplayer and spend a few hours creating amazing imaginary structures.

Myself and my seven year old daughter love it. I play on the Kindle Fire HD and She plays on My Samsung Galaxy 3. We often do multiplayer and spend a few hours creating amazing imaginary structures.

    Minecraft is the perfect sandbox game. There are two game types, Survival and Creative. Survival requires you to mine for materials and stay alive by eating food and fighting beasties. Creative gives you an infinite amount of items and materials so you can just build to your hearts content. The worlds are made of square blocks. You can mine into the earth or build upon it. I have had a great time building underwater cities, hollowed out mountain houses, floating islands, underground cave homes and giant castles. The world truly is your oyster.

    With the latest update you can build mine carts and use electric switch systems to really experiment. The game is as deep as you want to make it, you can spend months in survival mode building an impenetrable fortress or simply recreate your own home in creative mode.

    The graphics are bright and the block worlds and characters are really unique. The controls on a touch screen are perfect and feel very natural while playing. I really don’t have a bad thing to say about this game. At just £4.99 it’s a bargain. Make this top of your mobile/tablet game list!    … Expand

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

    This game is a MUST GET. It is the most awesome game on iOS and Android. Cheap, but not as good as the PS4 Edition. I am mad to see this Game under-rated. Its such an awesome great game.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Pocket Edition is a wonderful transfer from the PC. Though it lacks the features the PC has, and the controls are a bit wonky, it's still a great game for on-the-go.

    Minecraft PE is a great port for iOS. It includes some of the features from the PC version. With every major update, MCPE is becoming more like the PC Minecraft. This game is worth $6.99. You should get this game.

    Minecraft is basically a super fun game that takes place in a 3-D block world. You mine, build, craft, and create anything you want. Basically there are two modes, survival and creative.

Basically there are two modes, survival and creative. In creative, you have and infinite amount of all resources and blocks and the ability to fly. There are no monsters and lives, and no time (day and night). Say you want to build a roller coaster or a big, fancy mansion? No problem in creative. Survival on the other hand is a little trickier but I like it better personally. There are monsters, lives, day and night, and hunger. You start out with nothing and you need to mine and dig for your resources. You can take your original stuff and craft it into better stuff. Say you have a few blocks of wood. You can then turn that into a crafting table which you can make a sword or a shovel on. It becomes super fun once you get far.

    My personal experience with this game is super awesome. I personally like survival better.
    I will tell you, this game i probably best for 7 and up because you do kill little cartoonish monsters. Otherwise, it is a great game, there is no bad language, bad adult stuff such as drinking or drugs, and it definitely inspires kids to be creative and smart. All in all, I love this game and I think everyone should give it a try.    … Expand

    This game has the unfortunate luck of being an iOS game. It was very incomplete upon launch and got bad reviews for it.

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

    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.
