Review summary

Potion Permit on iOS/iPadOS is a charming, relaxing RPG with adorable art, a gentle pace, and a story with puzzles and relationships, plus no microtransactions. Players praise its atmosphere and the ability to play on mobile, with decent controller support. However, it suffers from stability and UX issues: frequent crashes, slow loads, and overall unoptimised performance; save frustrations due to no mid‑day autosave and only nightly saves; plus UI and text that are hard to read or misaligned on smaller screens, and touch controls that can feel buggy. Fixing these would make it a standout mobile RPG.

Pros

Adorable art style and charming atmosphere.
Relaxing RPG with a fun story, puzzles, and relationships.
No microtransactions and a fair price.
Good controller support and solid controls on mobile.
Playable on iPhone/iPad with enjoyable portability.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues on iPad/iPhone.
Lack of mid-day autosave and reliance on nightly saves (saving frustrations).
Performance issues / low frame rates and unoptimized mobile performance.
UI readability and scaling problems on smaller screens (text too small, UI elements off-screen).
Touch controls can be buggy or unresponsive (thumbstick gets stuck, touchscreen input issues).

2026-06-20	Se*****	Crashes after a few min. Known bug they won’t fix (see reviews from 2yr ago). Just want your money.

2026-05-10	Se*****	This is a fun game, a lot like Stardew (although it shouldn’t be more expensive imo). There’s a lot to do in the beginning too. Things I wish it had: a way to save progress without going to sleep and more patients in the clinic.

2026-04-03	Sl*****	Hi!! I love the game but am curious as to when or if more ramble interaction will be added and is there any future for creating a family?

2026-03-20	Yi*****	En general el juego es entretenido, pero siento que los desarrolladores podían haber hecho mucho más con la historia, el combate, la dificultad, los controles, los gráficos, las mecánicas… y no lo hicieron por pereza. Siento que es un juego sin terminar. Me faltó que la clínica tuviera mayor protagonismo, atiendes a un paciente cada dos o tres días y como mucho, llenarás 4 camas al mismo tiempo Los controles son horrorosos, cuando desbloqueas nuevas pociones el resto deja de tener sentido, son pocas las mejoras que puedes hacerle a la casa y la clínica, el teletransporte desde tan temprano hace que farmear sea muy sencillo y reiterativo Básicamente eres un trader de pociones…

2026-03-11	oe*****	It runs at about 15-20 FPS max on an M4 iPad Pro, with no settings anywhere to uncap frame rate. Not sure how you make a low-res pixel art game so unoptimized, but I couldn’t make it through the tutorial without getting nauseous.

2026-01-07	Da*****	Fun rpg with no micro transactions, its version is behind the pc version but still a good and fun game. I play it on iphone 16 pro and Ipad mini, 6th gen with no issues. Graphics are very good and controls and controller support are done very nicely. Please devs, update the game to the latest pc version please.

2025-09-24	Iz*****	Firstly as someone who loved Palia in the past and wants to get into Stardew but can’t really get into it this scratches the itch in a big way! The graphic style, music (repetitive, but easy to listen to) the relationship building and the puzzles are all so engaging and has me constantly taking an hour or so on the mobile version. My ONLY gripe is sleeping being the only way to save is a big downer. If I leave the game for like 2 minutes or have to take a phone call, even if it’s a short one it closes and I have to start that day over and when you’re in the middle of the night cycle it’s VERY frustrating. Currently taking a short break because of it, I’ll be back into it soon. If there was a small auto save somehow like saving every 30 minutes or when you accept/finish a new quest would be a great feature. Other than that this is one out of 2 games I’m currently obsessed with and appreciate that the team put so much love and hard work into the development of this game!
