### 1/5 — Hated the level based system

*2025-02-08, version 1.1*

Meant to be an open world game but was actually a game with only 7 levels.

### 3/5 — Like Subnautica but not

*2025-01-13*

Just once, please, I would like a game similar to Subnautica as a phone app without the hassle of having to pay without ads. Just but the game. Zero ads. Don’t even mention it. Just 7 dollars. Don’t even ask the person who downloaded it to hit allow ads. Don’t even mention. One. Single. Ad. Period.

Oh and I died in under a minute trying to find my stupid survival gear that’s underwater. Unlike Subnautica, where you just CRAFT your survival gear. Still. Three stars cause they tried. Seems pretty good. But I want a game where I can just start crafting my survival stuff…

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-12-19, version 1.1*

This is NOT subnautica 🙏🏻🤣😭

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even get past the level screen

*2024-11-25, version 1.1*

I can’t get pass the level screen! Idk if this is my iPad being weird or the game sad don’t get

### 1/5 — TRASH!!

*2024-09-06*

This game is trash it doesn’t even work! The glitches are soo bad and to top it off they expect you to pay 7.99 to remove adds on an very broken game. I was able to go outside of the map lol! And it’s just an square body of water and emptiness. 1 STAR

### 4/5 — Hard

*2024-08-05, version 1.1*

The game is really fun and there is lots of adds so I used a add blocker but some of the monsters are over powered so I would say to make the monsters weaker.and THE quality it needs to be better and I was thinking to add a water effect then you get in and out of the water so I would do 4 stars

### 1/5 — How to get 2 copyright claims in one app

*2024-07-12*

Step 1: Call your game “Ark Survival” when it isn’t made by the creators of Ark.
Step 2: Reveal at the loading screen that your game is actually called “Sub Nautica” which is the name of a popular survival game about surviving in a world full of alien fish. Except with a space.

This game is utter trash.

### 1/5 — What

*2024-05-04, version 1.1*

Would’ve given a positive review like some others, but looks like you gave up. So yh delete this ripoff from the AppStore.

### 1/5 — This game literally has no point and so many ads

*2023-10-10, version 1.1*

Terrible

### 5/5 — 😱

*2023-04-29, version 1.0.1*

I play this in the pool
