I have 999 for DS (to play on my 3dsxl). However I haven't started it and my video game playing time is limited due to work and stuff. Does 999 on iOS save significantly more time and do I miss anything story related? I can live without the puzzles, really just want the story so I can play the sequel.
DS version is probably a better experience. The game isn't really long and there's no point rushing to the sequel because both games are just amazing.
