User Reviews

The Chrono Trigger iOS/Apple TV port is a beloved, technically strong rendition of a classic RPG, offering a smooth, accessible mobile experience and a timeless story. However, users repeatedly report missing audio controls, limited graphics options with an unwanted filter, occasional bugs and crashes, clunky on-screen UI, and cloud save cross-device issues. Overall, it remains a standout, must-play title for fans, but needs QoL updates and reliability fixes to maximize its mobile potential.

Pros

High-quality port with smooth performance and responsive touch controls across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV (controller support).
Timeless RPG with a strong story, memorable music, and solid gameplay; widely regarded as a masterpiece.
Mobile-friendly experience that makes the classic accessible on the go.
Overall positive sentiment and nostalgia; the game still delivers a compelling, well-loved experience.

Cons

Lack of audio options: no volume controls or ability to mute; inconsistent sound across devices.
Missing graphics options and a pixel-art filter that ruins visuals; cannot disable the filter on some platforms.
Bugs and crashes (text skipping during Magus fight; white screen on some devices) affecting play.
On-screen UI/controls and menu navigation can be clunky on iOS; persistent touch UI can’t be hidden with a gamepad.
Cloud save transfer across devices and account transfers can be unreliable.

Recent reviews

Classic game. Plays well with controller but saves do not work between devices so if playing on iPad and then switch to phone the saves will not be there. Only game I’ve seen that does this. Very annoying.

You get a mobile version of possibly one of the best SNES JRPG games of all time and also it’s the upgraded version that originally was only on DS so the added content is worth it as well
