Great game, but having trouble with the app and don’t know what to do.

I would recommend the game to anyone who likes a good mystery with humour. However currently I am having trouble with the games functionality on the Second case. normally in this franchise, a piece of evidence, it normally gets added to your court record. However in my case a broken mirror which you need to complete the game, isn’t adding to the court record. Therefore I cannot continue the game which is really sad. I’ve contacted Capcom to see if they can do anything. hopefully I will get back to playing soon. also I hope no one else has the same boat

A great port that still holds up in 2022

I very recently have been playing this series again after only playing the original Phoenix Wright game in 2020. After finally playing through the original trilogy games on the Switch, I went to go see if the rest of the games were available for me to purchase without spending an arm and a leg, and I was very delighted to find that I was able to! The game played very well for me, and I didn’t experience any bugs whatsoever either! (I have an iPhone 11 if that helps at all) I 100% recommend this game to anybody that enjoyed the original trilogy of the game, as well as for those that are looking to get into the series without playing the first three games! I’m looking forward to purchasing Dual Destinies when I get the chance to next, and after that Spirit of Justice! :)

Feeling Robbed

So I’ll start off by saying I enjoy the game. However this morning when I went to play it, I noticed that the app would not open, no matter how many times I restarted the app. I restarted my phone and the problem persisted. The only solution I had left was uninstalling and reinstalling the app. After reinstalling, while the app would load, I found that it had revoked my ability to play the rest of the game, asking me to repurchase all the episodes. I contacted apple support for a refund since i made the purchase so recently. At first I thought that perhaps the app got corrupted last night while i was playing it and this was just a fluke. However on attempting to open Ace Attorney Investigations, which I haven’t opened in a long time, I encountered the same problem, which tells me that either something happened to my phone to prevent me from playing these games, or it was intentional. These are great games but you are better off buying it on other platforms.

Great port of the original

I went ahead and purchased the full game despite the reviews warning of glitches and freezing. I only encountered freezing in a certain part of the third case, which seemed to resolve itself after I closed out of some other open apps and let my phone cool down a little (game tends to make my phone run warm if played for a long time). I played on an iPhone SE... so if you have that or something better the game should run fine for you. The game is even better than I remember. The graphics are sharp and clean. The user interface has been optimized for mobile devices (especially easy to read on my small phone). Definitely worth the price and one of my favorite Ace Attorney games!

I’ve Purchased the Game but Can’t Play Next Episodes

EDIT: After an update, the game works as intended and the money I’ve spent on unlocking all of the cases works properly. Thanks for the fixes! OLD REVIEW: I’m so excited for the mobile ports of the AA series! It plays super smoothly and it’s great to have the auto save feature in case you need to put your phone away. However, I’ve purchased the other episodes and the app doesn’t recognize that I’ve done so. Thus, I’m unable to play past the first half of case one. Which is frustrating considering that I’ve spent money that went apparently nowhere. Hopefully that can be fixed soon!

It's a pretty great port compared to the Trilogy

I don't know what everyone's problem with the game is. Compared to the many glitches and problems I had to face in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, this is a piece of heaven in my book. First off, the HD is great. The animations and artwork look amazing and clean. The gameplay is a major upgrade from how the Trilogy was done. Sections like the map examinations aren't so glitchy compared to the Trilogy and forensics sections are very smooth to control. Sure the music at times faces a glitch, but it can be fixed by closing the app and entering it again. The app is great and is something people should definitely buy if you wanted to know the story behind Apollo Justice's first year as an attorney.

A Great Game, That When Not Fully Purchased, Isn’t Playable Offline Past Part 1 of The First Case

I’ve played the original and was floored by the experience, so when I heard an HD iOS port was out, I couldn’t wait to play it with refined sprites and assets. Since I didn’t have enough funds, I was only able to purchase two of the four available cases. When connected to the internet, I had no problem playing the cases I owned, but while I was offline, despite having already been paid for, I was unable to access them as a text reading ‘Purchase Content’ restricted my entry. I hope I’m not asking for too much, but please fix this Capcom.

Great Game, Horrible Issues

I love the ace attorney games and was excited to buy this when it came out. How ever, the game crashes at certain points, and unlike the previous games you cannot start from a certain point in a chapter, ergo, at each of these crash points you must skip the entire chapter which you paid for. I contacted the capcom support for this game weeks ago and have not heard back from them. Furthermore, if you buy the chapters, and then go to play offline, it will not recognize your purchase and you must go online to restore them. And last but not least is the pricing, and while $15 for a full video game isn't a bad deal by any means, but it bothers me that the ¢99 you pay upfront only unlock half of the first case and then you have to buy each case from there.

Ace Attorney fans, your chance for a new game isn't zero, as Capcom has promised you can expect more from the series in the future.
