    Am I the only one who find difficult to turn Lara? Using the iCade I'm saying..
    When I move left or right with my stick Lara do a quick movement toward that direction but return to initial position.
    I'll check in controls under tomby however, I hope I'll find the solution there.

    You can turn without stopping by using the side-step (small arrows) buttons while running forward.
    It's much easier to run and turn this way.

    I noticed the same. I'm glad they are still perfecting this game. Hopefully they release the other TR GAMES. I have them on my Vita, but they aren't updated with the new graphics like on iOS.

    In what way are the controls updated, optimized, or enhanced.... and if they are improved how noticeable of an improvement is there?

    99 cents? That's pretty decent for a retro classic :D

    As far as I can tell the controls are identical and haven't improved one bit. I'm not too bothered as I play TR using a SteelSeries Stratus (and I recently got the XL which is even better) but it is a bit annoying for them to claim the controls are improved when they seems entirely the same. The voice acting doesn't sound any different either nor does the music.

    I really hope this is perhaps a precursor to Tomb Raider II getting a release on iOS as that was always my favourite!

    Yeah... I dont see any improvement in the controls. It's playable, but it's still the same control scheme loyal to the original where i used the keyboard's arrow keys before.

    Yeah controls are still stingy. I hope they implement a look control like in MHFU where you just swipe left and right at the right part of the screen

    I recommend you avoid this update it you can. I've had the saves on both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus vanish for no apparent reason. The old version never did that so it's likely something related to the update.

    I always keep two saves as a safety precaution but it seems the whole save file is being wiped. :(

    @Bulkslash:does it support icloud and do you use it?If yes,try to switch it off.It's not the first game that wiped save games because of faulty cloud support (especially under iOS8).

    The store description says it supports the Moga Power Ace but what about other controller like the stratus?

    iOS 9 update for this but not Chaos Rings I & II? Weird. But at least it's another update from SE.

    Yeah,idiots,I swear.They cannot even fix that BS constantly crashing swamp level in Lara croft and the guardian of light for over a year yet they make this barely useful update.
