And speaking of fleets may we someday have more than 6 fleets? I only ask this because I would like to use other characters without having to continuously dissemble and rebuild different fleets. ### 2/5 — Lost account fix failed fix recovery *2026-05-18, version 1.17.0* 3 stars ### 3/5 — Lost account fix *2026-05-11, version 1.17.0* 3 stars ### 4/5 — The game is fun but *2026-05-09, version 1.17.0* This game is good for a gacha game however it has a few minor flaws such as some features don’t work on older devices but the main drawback is the file size 28gigs is a bit much but all in all it fun to play the pull rates are fair and the art is quite good. ### 3/5 — Azur lane is fine *2026-05-07, version 1.17.0* I like the game I even bought skins. But I only have a few problems. First the game gets slow sometimes when a new update happens even when I’m on a iPhone 12 this started last year and each update has been great but it still freezes or slows down sometimes. Second is the large amount of storage this game needs. My point in all of my complaints is this game needs to be on a pc. There is a game mode where you interact with characters in a room but the game crashes all the time in a few minutes in. Second is the fact many other mobile gacha games are on pc now. Like for example nikke, blue archive, etc. even games that this company owns like arknights are on pc. I love this game and I hope this review with reach someone at the company to make a pc version of this game. ### 2/5 — Unable to play *2026-04-28, version 1.16.0* Genuinely wish I could play on the iPad mini 2. The game looks fun and all but can’t play ### 2/5 — The game changed and not worth playing *2026-04-09, version 1.16.0* Events reruns are too short for how long it takes for one to happen. The rates in the ship building is overrun with lots of ships new ships adding into the pool which makes even getting elites ships hard to obtain. Last straw was the operation valentines which is the worst event i ever experienced in a game. Then the 1-2 weeks every month of no events just makes the game more unappealing with one week reruns. Reruns were better before ### 5/5 — Review *2026-04-09, version 1.16.0* A fine strategic game for two half year playing, but I think what need to change in future upcoming update is this…many gamer whose got lot of resources but lacking diamond struggle on buying those expanding dock and depot because of that I really hope the developers changing this. Thank you and God our Lord Jesus bless you everyone’s & Akashi! ### 3/5 — Black Screen in Home Tab *2026-04-02, version 1.16.0* The black screen appears on a home tab because I tried repairing assets. ### 5/5 — Best game I love it *2026-03-21, version 1.16.0* I love the game and skins ### 4/5 — Compact Data *2026-03-12, version 1.16.0* I love this game, I really do…. I have for years since the 4th anniversary. But with each update it takes up a ludicrous amount of space, space that means I have to be forced to delete some apps and games that I love and play. Even previous events have large updates that take bigger data than the last time, that made no sense. My only complaint is just how stupidly ridiculous the amount of GB this game requires…. And frankly? It’s starting to feel a lot. So please, if there’s any way to compacted the game on my IPad to save Data without sacrificing too much it would be not only game changing but it would free up data to play those other games. ### 4/5 — Game for gooner👀🐿️🫙 *2026-02-27, version 1.16.0* I cant play this game with ip xs max 64gb💔💔 ### 5/5 — Hay *2026-02-15, version 1.16.0* Game Cho mấy ae lọ thủ:) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost all my game progress and characters! *2026-08-16, version 1.17.0* So I have not played this game in over a year or two maybe three due to the fact that every time I download the game I always end up losing my game progress along with all of the characters I have learned or paid for through random the random gacha thing and I have not been able to get my progress back or characters on extremely upset, angry, annoyed, frustrated, and aggravated with the fact that I have not been able to get that damn progress back and I really don’t it’s bad that I have to start all over and re-by every freaking goddamn character all over again and start all over again from the beginning too where I was before I lost all my game progress and characters. honestly, I think I feel really be compensated for all the money time and progress that I’ve lost on this freaken stupid game. This use to be my favorite game on the App Store, but the fact that I lost my call was very upsetting and annoying and aggravating. I really hope that you and your game developers can figure out a way to get me back all My characters and game progress and if not I want a full freaken refund for the 3 or 4 hundred dollars worth of game content I spent in your daymb game! ### 1/5 — Best game I love it *2026-07-29, version 1.17.0* I love the game and skins lord have mercy I have to buy more red gems to get dock that’s the only thing I have and I can’t even afford skins because of this omg bro smh ### 1/5 — I got sexually assaulted by a boat💔🥀 *2026-06-24, version 1.17.0* That’s it ### 1/5 — Over 30 gigabytes is to much *2026-05-08, version 1.17.0* I love this game so much and I’m hopelessly addicted, but this isn’t getting 5 stars until they figure out how to bring its size down. Even if that means allowing players to opt out of the 3D date and island planner to cut down storage. ### 1/5 — Avoid this Slop *2026-05-08, version 1.17.0* This review is staying at one star until the global Azur Lane Community is compensated for the Valentine’s Day event Yostar ruined this year. Give us our cards. We will not take no for an answer. We will not fall for copypaste responses. ### 1/5 — This game is trash *2026-05-03, version 1.16.0* There are tons of bugs, and a large number of UI issues have remained unfixed for a long time (including paid skins not displaying properly on the main interface). The game is getting increasingly sloppy. Both paid skins and collaboration skins have major art flaws that are never fixed — such as distorted proportions, missing shoulder details, weird perspective distortion, unnatural limb angles, and more. ### 1/5 — Operation Valentine *2026-02-15, version 1.16.0* The Valentine 2026 Event was poorly implemented, poorly tested, very poorly communicated and genuinely one of the worst things you could have done to long serving players. Bring back the old individual Valentine Messages and never let the person that designed and gave green light to this thing ever cook again ### 1/5 — Fan Service Problem/Cash Grab/Perverts *2026-02-02, version 1.16.0* This game has disgusting fan service and it strips away of the game and the purpose of gaming. It’s just another cash grab of inappropriate looking characters drawn to make people look at them for money. It’s just predatory, especially with how every character is designed this game just looks wrong. It isn’t going to make it at all, it’ll only draw the wrong crowd and give the game a bad rep. I hope this game gets taken down it’s wrong in so many aspects never playing this game ever again there’s a lot of perverts in the game too, I don’t like it. Waste of money and time I’d rather play Memento Mori it’s better and less provocative. Fan Service is getting old and played out. ### 1/5 — Good Idea, horrible execution. *2026-01-28, version 1.16.0* The idea of a game like this is interesting, battleships as human girls. (I’m pretty sure most battleships are referred to as hers anyways) and of course being a game full of girls you expect a some sexual stuff but not 70%-90% of the whole game. On top of that this is not a game for people who are a big fan of battleships because a majority of the more important ones are missing USS Missouri being my personal favorite and completely absent from the game, (as are Iowa and Wisconsin) and there were some other notable names absent too. ### 1/5 — Too Time Intensive *2026-01-14, version 1.16.0* I want to like this game. I really do. I even understand the gate keeping to a certain degree. Keeping the tourists out to preserve the game, I can dig it. But goodness gracious. I bought the Commander Boost pack to take me to Commander Level 70. Been farming every single day for over 8 hours a day. Since November. Have not even cracked Commander Level 71 yet. So what do I have to do? Keep the app open and farming for double-digit hours a day, everyday for two years to get to Commander Level 71? It’s too much. My wallet is ready, but they apparently don’t want my money. My wallet will remain firmly shut until I get to Commander Level 80. IF I EVER get there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-09, version 1.17.0* This game is So damnn good i wont deny it ### 5/5 — Hakuhou best girl *2026-05-24, version 1.17.0* Gotta build them all, just love some of these ships ### 5/5 — Unforgettable Game *2026-05-14, version 1.17.0* I played this years ago, I left for a while, came back, left, and was barred from play because of lack of storage. As soon as I got a new phone, it’s back. I’ve played MANY games similar to this and NONE have given me the experience AL has given me. From the generosity of resources to the oath system and cosmetics being free to access, I just LOVE that you can do so much in this game for FREE. You can get almost everything in this game through grind and I know it’s an old game. I played this in middle school and I’m in college now and I still think of this game. I don’t know what it is, but this game is hypnotically good. Always and forever. I love AL ### 5/5 — Size *2026-05-10, version 1.17.0* amazing game I had this game way back in like 2021-2022 to today but the size is getting ridiculous at this point 30 GB is insane ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-05-08, version 1.17.0* Ships and girls no payment required for skins or game features ### 5/5 — game is awesome *2026-05-08, version 1.17.0* Akagi has big yams but give her more skins 👍 ### 5/5 — A long time perspective *2026-05-08, version 1.17.0* I’ve been playing the game for about 6 or 7 years now and I still have a great time with it. The main story is fun and the events are great plus if you like silly slice of life or raunchy side stories you’ll find them in spades. Strangely enough though I think my favorite thing is the made up little in universe social media juustagram. It gets new stuff every event with every “post” full of fun chibi art and on going bits and in jokes from the characters. And it’s all right there like a thousand entries and still going! You really get into the characters and their personalities. If you’re free to play only you’re in luck, I’ve only ever spent money on wishes ONCE and only because I was like 3 away from pity and just getting the character. I’ve also only ever missed out on getting 2 characters ever out of like 800+ so seriously don’t worry about feeling pressured to pay to play or any of that garbage. If you like the game and want to show some support just buy a few skins for characters you like. The L2Ds are great and I don’t regret buying the few a year that I get. The quality of life improvements are little slow to come out but they do come and after being live for 9 years it’s there’s definitely been improvements. Best part is that if you’re a little tight for time it got a decent auto play for grinding and passive leveling for characters to make it easier. If there’s not an active event going I just do 10 minutes of dailies and done . Give it a shot ### 5/5 — Greatest Gacha *2026-05-07, version 1.17.0* This is the greatest gatcha I have played. From collecting ship girls, storyline, and just so many things to do this game will always keep you busy. Amazing character designs and generous with the pulls makes this game one of the greatest of all times! ### 5/5 — App size *2026-05-07, version 1.17.0* I love this game, i really do, but PLEASE can we possibly optimize this to under 20GB? ### 5/5 — Waifus *2026-05-07, version 1.17.0* The ship girls are the cute, hot all kinds your into from bunny’s to swimsuits. It’s also very free to play it’s very generous with game resources, of course you can pay but it’s for more space or skins. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
