I just picked up the minecraft pocket app. I'm ganna say not like the minecraft on the computer, and the pocket edition is still in alpha mode but is still really fun to play. what do u guys think?

Personally, I don't like it. I don't think the price is justifiable for a mini version of a game you already have to pay for. Also to run a game like that is really draining on the battery. Also I'm going to assume that multiplayer would be really hard to do and be very laggy. Gameplay wise, they make it survival but you can fly (kind of), they give you what you need without needing to mine so it takes out all the real fun of the actual survival. Basically it's halfway in between survival and creative which isn't needed. I'm not saying they give you EVERYTHING, but it's enough to the point where mining is pointless.

I've tried it, and it's okay. I suck with anything touch-screen, however, so it took forever to get anything done. The 'flying' doesn't really make any sense to me at all, because you can only go horizontally. I guess if I were better with touchscreens then I might enjoy it more.

It sucks.

I have it for iOS and it drains the battery in about an hour. I'm going to stick to the PC version thanks.

It desperately needs saplings. To be honest though I don't particularly like the game as it's overpriced and it literally sucks up your device's battery like a fat kid with an Oreo milkshake in a KFC. Although it's ok to play when you're desperately bored and you don't have access to the PC version or even the XBOX 360 version or you just don't have any other games to play in general. Another bad thing about it is that when you exit a LAN server and come back on it your items that you had from the last time are gone.

It is great when you need to kill an hour. The survival is a lot like early Alpha. I don't think it is worth the money yet.

I think with a few more updates the game will improve, yes the controls are confusing and take a little time to get used to but once you get used to it, the game becomes more fun and entertaining.
