Pretty simple and I would love to see a warship version. Maybe Ship Battle AR? Battleships etc. anyway this game is awesome. 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-11-25* This is kind of a fun game that lets you have a little battle table wherever you are but the graphics are bad and the battle table is to small witch makes it hard to control. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you don’t like the graphics hedgehog172! You can scale the map up to 500% by using the pinch gesture when setting up the space, or if you are playing Survival mode you can drag from the map edge to make a much larger map. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-08-20* Every time I tried to play it kicked me out and it was a waste of money I’m on a I phone xs **Developer response:** Hey Jake, Sorry to hear the game isn’t working for you, what version of iOS and device are you trying to play on? Let’s get it up and running for you! All the best, Joe Edit: Okay, can you try deleting and reinstalling the game fresh - and try enabling airplane mode before you first open the app incase it’s an issue downloading the latest levels? If that doesn’t work - email info@artanks.co.uk and I’ll do my best to get you fixed up! ### 4/5 — Add online mode! *2020-06-28* The game is great but it be even better if there was a mode where you can battle others online ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work on my 6S but awesome on my 8 *2020-06-06* It doesn’t seem to work on my older phones, but once I got the 8 it worked perfectly:). I can’t wait for more amazing content! **Developer response:** Hey! That’s no good, let’s get this working for you! AR requires camera permissions so it can use the camera for scanning and tracking, so make sure these are enabled the app settings (if the screen is black, this is the issue). AR also needs a surface which has some detail/texture to scan so it can create anchor points for the game to stick to, could you try scanning a flat wooden surface of concrete if you haven’t already and let me know if that fixes the problem? If that still isn’t working, may I ask what device are you using and what version of iOS are you on? All the best, Joe ### 5/5 — Full Five *2020-05-16* This game is amazing. It combines classic game types with AR abilities. It adds a whole new level of game play when you can look under bridges and view the entire playing field. I give it a full five stars. I have one suggestion though. It would be great to see A way to play with friends without LAN. I would love to be able to play with my friends without leaving our houses. Your game uses Game Center, so it would be simple to add long-range multiplayer. Along with that, an invite button. Of course, this is just a suggestion, and the game is great already. Thanks for hours of fun. EDIT: there’s some knockoff of this called AR tank wars. Just wanted to let you know. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-03-07* I love this game it’s so fun to play with friends and even play by yourself is fun 😬 love it ### 4/5 — Great game *2020-02-25* Really good game play, my only complaint is that, in the multiplayer, the host always deals twice as much damage as the other player. But I’m sure the developers will fix it. ### 4/5 — Moment of error *2019-12-20* Everything worked good, controls were not to my liking, had pent up anger took it out on this game before this edit. **Developer response:** Hey bristobal, I’m sorry to hear that, what went wrong - did the game crash or did you just not like the game? If the game is crashing on the first load up, can you try the following: Uninstall the app and reinstall it and check if that allows it to open. If that didn’t work, can you try to reinstall it again but turn your internet off before opening it for the first time. If none of the above has worked, can you let me know what iPhone you are using and what your current version of iOS is? Thanks, Joe ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2019-12-19* This is probably my favorite mobile game I’ve ever played. It’s super fun to play on your own, and I also had a great time playing with a friend! I know this is a given, but having no ads is soooo great! It makes the game feel a lot more fleshed out. 6/5 ## Frequently asked questions about AR Tanks ### What is AR Tanks?
