### 4/5 — Bugs

*2021-03-10, version 1.7.6*

Really like the game when it works. Too many times though the controls go totally wonky the moment an opponent comes on the screen. Too bad. I will not keep playing if this continues.

### 4/5 — Graphics I think are bad

*2020-11-11, version 1.7.5*

Best I wish you had better aim I want battle bullets it deserves a five star but no that’s not the case. I just don’t know about it I think it’s 4 star I have played it but then I deleted it I still have it I just delete it off my home screen I don’t like it put more bullets.

### 3/5 — Love the game, hate tech support

*2020-07-30, version 1.7.4*

The game is great but largely unsupported. New owners will hopefully be better. The most recent update to the game made most of the game stop working. Contact with tech support got me suggestions on troubleshooting my phone. The game was broken for everyone but a second, more detailed contact with tech support resulted in more suggestions on troubleshooting my phone. They finally did a partial fix to the game but still have not fixed everything they messed up with the update.

### 4/5 — Can be better

*2019-12-31, version 1.7.2*

Been playing a week..great game but during the fight the app starts rapidly skipping freezing my copter..so i have to release control of the copter for a second.. then reengage in the fight..and i play on a iphone xs with high speed fiber internet.

### 3/5 — Read this

*2019-11-16, version 1.7.2*

This game is really fun but one thing is that in this game it is sooo hard to get new chopper really hard I’ve been playing this so long 1 years not even half of half of half chopper unlocked.

### 2/5 — Gnat

*2019-09-15, version 1.7.2*

Game op was good for a while. Now website full of glitches. Sound missing copters stick in place. Also too hard to obtain gold used to get better copters

### 2/5 — It’s kinda slow. It Try’s to draw you in to spend money. Time to go . Fun for a minute .

*2019-06-03, version 1.7.2*

Otherwise I’ve got to go . I have a life.

### 3/5 — Fun but broken

*2019-02-17, version 1.7.1*

It’s a fun game but whenever I try to kill anything the copters freeze and don’t damage

### 2/5 — Ehh

*2019-02-12, version 1.7.1*

I like the game but the controls need improving. I’ve flown real helicopters that were easier than this.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good game

*2018-10-11, version 1.7.1*

I’ve been playing this game for a little over a week and so far it’s looks pretty good. The controls are pretty easy and the gameplay seems to be on the level. The reason I give it four stars is because I haven’t played it enough to see any for real problems. So far I have had pretty good battles and have faced a good range of opponents. I like that I am able to upgrade my BattleCopters to help give an edge. Also it doesn’t seem to take to long for my energy bar to refill. Although I hate the fact that most games have energy bars that deplete with each play. It would be nice to do away with them and play continuously but I also see that it does make a player take a break from the game and not be so absorbed into the game. In short a pretty good game that has lots of potential as long as the creators listen to the players of their games.

### 4/5 — Glitchy to the extreme

*2018-10-11, version 1.7.1*

Would recommend game, but it’s been glitchy for weeks (almost unplayable), and developer doesn’t make it easy to notify them.

### 4/5 — iPhone X screen

*2018-07-29, version 1.7.1*

Posted about this back on May 25th. I have also been emailing EA/Chillingo about the issue and the Screen still isn't working since the recent update!!!!

### 4/5 — Review

### 1/5 — RIP OFF

*2022-12-06, version 1.7.8*

Just got through spending a couple hundred dollars on gold what you have to do in order to get anything decent to keep going and the game crashed on me and I can’t get back in. That’s kind of crappy if you ask me and I think it also constitutes as theft.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone.  Goes to lock screen

*2021-08-06, version 1.7.8*

As per above and it’s been going on for a while. First it was iPad. Then …

### 1/5 — horrible just horrible

*2021-07-15, version 1.7.6*

I started playing and the tutorial is stupid it keeps making me fly down without me touching anything please fix this

### 1/5 — Poor Tech Support

*2021-05-20, version 1.7.6*

The game tech support is poor. To many bugs in the program. I’ve been playing this game over 2 years and I see more problems with it now than in the past.  Shot a copter 10 + times without destroying it, copters going into buildings, walls, & cliffs, missiles not hitting its target, and now my game won’t allow me to send fuel or upgrade items in the armory.  Armory hanger and missile are stuck in delivery at the same time, can’t seem to get it release.

### 1/5 — Game crush

*2021-04-03, version 1.7.6*

Since t last update,  I can’t play my game anymore, its keep crushing, no matter what I do, offload, download again, it’s still. Reported to t tech team and seems like useless, either they’re inexperience or........, not even a respond , so sad.

### 1/5 — Last update

*2020-07-30, version 1.7.4*

Apparently the game was bought out by someone else and we haven’t been able to play since. It was a week ago. We live this game fix it please! Before the game was bought out I would give 10 stars! Would someone please let us know what is going on!

### 1/5 — Fix the update - And bring back free fuel ads!!

*2020-07-24, version 1.7.3*

Ongoing problems since transition on 22 July 2020. Several squad members are locked out of the game. Can not load Tier 5 Pro Griff copter. There are no more free gas ads (watch video) which is unreasonable.

You new developers need to get on it!

Many of us having been playing since the game inception and put tons of cash $ into our accounts.

### 1/5 — Screen appearance

*2019-08-18, version 1.7.2*

The Game view doesn’t much iPhone X.
The options and tubs are hiding by other tubs.

### 1/5 — Game glitches

*2018-12-09, version 1.7.1*

This game has gone into the crapper.  For the last 4 months it is basically unplayable.  While you are in the game battling it completely locks up at least 4 times where you have no flight controls.  I have an I pad pro so I don’t think it is my system that is causing problems.  What a bummer because this game used to be cool

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2018-10-25, version 1.7.1*

It should be embarrassing to EA  that they put their name on this game. The graphics look good - the gameplay is terrible. I downloaded this game because I love flying helicopters and I own a gamevice controller. However, the controller implementation is awful. I’ve already deleted this from my device.

### 5/5 — Dev Support???

*2020-01-21, version 1.7.2*
