Impressive.... Most Impressive
Excellent app! I have been playing it since its first edition and is truly a Star Wars fan’s dream come true. I have played through all of the lightsaber, combat, and holochess levels, as well as the expansions created for the games, and they are all a lot of fun. That said, I do feel that with each update, the quality of the lightsaber battles and run speed (for my aging iPhone 6s) deteriorates, and I wish there was more in-game content such as General Grievous and the Emperor (or characters that require more advanced types of fighting). Also, I would like to see multiplayer strategic combat and holochess, as well as a switch back to the original critical-strike symbols during lightsaber combat (rather than the thick, yellow strike symbols). In spite of several gameplay bugs, Jedi Challenges is by far the best video game I have ever played, and I would recommend it to any Star Wars fan who has always dreamed of becoming a Jedi Master or fighting Darth Vader in your living room!

Really fun, but could be better
I really love this game and would totally recommend it to any Star Wars fan but some things on the strategy levels could be changed. The first thing is, there should be a timer for how long you need to defend the objective. It gets really frustrating not knowing how much longer I need to go before I win the simulation. Second, drop the intro after the first attempt at the level. It gets annoying listening to it over and over again, even though I know what the objective is. Some stuff be changed on the dueling would be to make the lightsaber blade not un-align every 30 seconds. Also, there needs to be another set of levels with battle droids. The boss could be Count Doku and I feel that this should have been of the original bosses before any updates. Again this game is nearly perfect but a few things could be changed to make it better

From a PE Teacher
Wow. This game is an amazing experience. Never have I ever seen so many people in a room say, “I’ve never liked Star Wars, but that is cool and I want to try it!” This game is an amazing way for a PE teacher to develop technology based lessons. I would like to see the availability for Screen Mirroring this application. The only reason it would be unavailable is if the developers (you) selected it to be this way. I understand you intend for the game to be enjoyed through AR but it makes it difficult to justify purchasing even one headset for a PE class if I cannot display it to all students. This also makes showing it to other educators difficult; I agree that people need to see it through a headset to truly experience it but this is not always possible. In short, please rethink not allowing Screen Mirroring. Next, lightsaber movement reaction time could use a tweak. The more advanced a player gets the faster opponents attack, and sometimes the physical saber outpaces the virtual saber. This makes the final battle extremely frustrating. This may be unfixable, but if it is that would be great. Finally, I love the variety offered in the game, including the FREE update after The Last Jedi came out. The game is still worth hours of fun after owning it since launch, and I hope I can use it even more in the future to push for physical education.
