As the title says above. If you’re wanting to get into the series, any other port would be a good way to play them. Including emulation. The iOS port is absolutely abysmal, with music from 2 of the 3 games having been replaced by the older tracks from the GBA versions, or just missing and replaced by different tracks entirely. The interface doesn’t work well. There’s constant glitches that affect gameplay and knowledge of cases. And it is, bar none, the absolute worst looking version of any of the ports of the game, including the original on the GBA. Animations are missing 50% of the frames so they’re composed of only key frames, making them look jarring and move robotically. This is one of the best visual novel series’ of all time, but please, do not play this port. Pick it up on Switch/PC/PS4/XBOX, the 3DS, the DS or the emulated DS version (using a legally obtained copy, of course). But do not play this port.

I played the cases you get for free & loved it. The first 2 games were great. The third game, however, is why I’m writing this review. I started the 3rd game’s 1st case & all of a sudden, various sfx cut out! To restore it, you have to close out of the app! The games really aren’t the same w/o sfx. This happened before with the 2nd game, but it wasn’t frequent enough to be an issue. With the 3rd game, it does this every other freakin’ minute! It’s insufferable! It completely sabotages the game’s tone & pacing. Right as I start to get invested- boom, the sfx cut out. But the sfx issues aren’t the only things wrong, oh no. Typos are incredibly persistent, at their worst in the 5th case of the 1st game. For example, easy stuff like a steak was typed as “stake” once. Punctuation was forgotten often. In fact, one item’s description was a repeat of another item’s description, only missing the first line!! How is this kind of stuff acceptable? Furthermore, I was looking up how to fix the audio problems earlier, and saw people talking about how the iOS port butchers the music (which is one of the critical parts!) & and the visuals of the originals. Truly disappointing. I’m regretting having paid for all 3 games. If you’re dead set on buying at least one of the games, I beg of you, DON’T BUY THE THIRD ONE!!! (The writing, gameplay, & music are top notch but that’s really thanks to the devs of the originals.)

I’ve been a fan of the Ace Attorney franchise since 2013, and my first introduction to the series was on iOS. Back then, this game was awesome. But in the last seven years, the trilogy has been remastered for the Wii, Switch, Xbox, PS4, and PC (via Steam). It looks and feels a lot more crisp on all of those platforms. As I write this (July 2020), it has been over two years since Capcom last updated the game for iOS (which added iOS 11 support). For whatever reason, it seems a bit like they’re cutting loose the iOS version and users. If you buy the trilogy and all the cases on iOS you can still play it all the way through, but don’t expect much in the way of updates. I can’t imagine it would be especially difficult to bring this app in line with the other remasters, though.

TLDR; don’t buy the Ace Attorney Trilogy on iOS unless Wii/Switch/PS4/XBox/Steam aren’t options.
