Worked perfectly, except for costume DLC

Since I got back into this series and decided to try out the iOS ports, I thought I should write a review for these games (seeing all the negative ones made me nervous). This one worked perfectly and I had zero issues with anything, until I finished the DLC case and unlocked a costume. The game crashes every time I try to access the costumes menu. Luckily, I didn’t buy the costumes DLC anyway because I didn’t really care to, so I recommend not bothering with that. The rest of the game is totally fine! If it matters, I played this on a 7th generation iPad (10.5), fully updated to 14.7.

How Peculiar...

Yeah okay as you’ve probably already read about a ton; once you purchase a chapter it doesn’t actually purchase. or rather, it’ll SAY you purchased it but you won’t be able to play said chapter you paid for. However in my case, after restoring and purchasing a few times i was able to unlock the second chapter with Apollo! which in my book, is considered a semi win. considering out of all the characters, Apollo’s MVP anyways- but that’s the weird thing! i purchased ALL the chapters! yet only apollo’s unlocked! mayhaps it was destiny ohoho. but seriously i’m super glad it was Apollo’s that got unlocked phew. i’m still really upset about the fact that the other chapters don’t seem to be unlocking. and i’m REALLY not in the mood to delete the app after i got so excited for it. especially after i finished Apollo Justice buzzing with eagerness to know more about MY BOY APOLLO. this is really annoying, i just wanted to play a great series with GREAT characters, and now i’m worried about the whole 15 bucks i’ve wasted on a game i cant even fully PLAY. also, REALLY don’t wanna purchase a whole new console solely for the ace attorney games. (cough nintendo switch) seriously. i really DONT wanna be asking for a nintendo switch for christmas. IM NOT MADE OF MONEY CAPCOM. FOR THE LOVE OF APOLLO PLEASE FIX THIS.

It’s a good game, but one problem

If the title is to long I’m trying to say that I have a bug, after one point, the music just stopped. I hope you’re reading this capcom because I love the music, it’s just so good but because of this bug I hear nothing. Plus, I did check my volume and I even put it on full capacity, but still nothing happened. However, I haven’t tried the mighty delete and reinstall technique, I’m just complaining about it because I don’t want other people run into this problem. Though I think that it’s a good game, and people, stop complaining about the game about it’s in app purchases! What, did you really think they would give you it for free? Anyway, this is Dealwithit422 signing off.

Good game, costume DLC is Broken.

Great installment of the Ace Attorney series. Some of the logic puzzles are really well done and the story is told in such a way that you do feel for some of the characters which I enjoy. Happily spent money on all chapters. Voice acting choices are definitely characteristic of how Capcom’s voice acting history. Take that as you will. What I am livid about is the extra costumes. They do not work. At all. If you buy them and attempt to open them in the settings menu, the game crashes. It’s been this way for a very long time as far as I can see and on multiple devices.

Problem with costumes.

I love this game and the work that was put into the port. However, there is a problem where if you bought the dlc costumes and finish the dlc case (which unlocks an extra costume) it makes the costume change screen crash every time you try to open it. The only way to stop this is by erasing your save data but even then you still will never be able to use the costume you get for finishing the dlc chapter. It’s a small thing and probably no one will see this but if it can be fixed that would be great.

Amazing Except for the Infamous Music Stopped Bug

This is a really good port of the original DS game, and is just a nice game overrall. There will be a couple typos here and there (especially in the first 2 episodes), but that's a minor issue. The main issue involves the music stopping out of nowhere while you're playing. And you can't just close and reopen the app to fix the issue, you must delete the app and reinstall it (which can get tedious considering the size of the app and how well your wifi works). Besides that, this game is amazing!

Cannot play

So I had bought and downloaded this app a while ago when I decided to download all of the ace attorney games at once. I have been playing them in order and buying the game sets as I made it to the next game. I finally got to Dual Destinies and played the first free game. Then I went to purchase the set. I did the purchase but the content did not download so I could not play. This is when I saw the description on the app when I went to read reviews to see if it was just a recent issue or bug. I had been playing everything on pre iOS 14 software, mainly on iOS 13 since I started all of these games back in the beginning of 2020 because I’d covid. Clearly many devices and software are supported past iOS 11. Unfortunately I didn’t purchase the in app games before iOS 14 was installed and iOS 14 is where this is broken on my device. Even if they didn’t guarantee support past iOS 11, how do you even offer an app to be downloaded if it can’t continue be supported? Who keeps their iOS software from 3 years ago?

Purchase Content

I’ve now purchased This content twice. This app falsely offers a “restore” option. Even after pressing that option it continuously stated Failed to restore. So... in an effort to finish the game I went ahead and purchased an episode (I already owned on an older device when I purchased the whole game) only to be stopped cold with the same unable to restore message. What a rip off. I purchased this game and still have access to it on my IPhone XS Max but my current phone, the iPhone 12 Pro, is where I want to continue my journey with Phoenix Wright. I’ve been playing this game since I owned a Nintendo DS. Capcom and Apple are nickel and dimeing me for something I’ve already rightfully paid for. Crooks.
