### 4/5 — Love the game but needs an update

*2014-03-07, version 0*

I've had this game since the first gen iPhone. I've really enjoyed playing it over the years. It can get very addictive. I bought a "flashier" version of battleship as well, just to see which I preferred. I prefer this one. I really like that it is fairly simple and doesn't have a bunch of annoying, time and battery wasting graphics. They need to update it though. Some of the features no longer work on the current iOS. I miss seeing my stats at the end of the game!

### 4/5 — Great Game! Price could be lower, still.

*2011-04-16, version 0*

It's fun to play!

There should be a mode where two people could play on one iPhone such as taking turns and passing back and forth the iPhone. An internet mode would be nice, as the other battleship game made by another developer has an internet option for the same amount of money. A problem with the LAN mode is that both people need the game in order to play it. Developer, you should make a network version of this game that is free and only lets the user play over the local network.

### 3/5 — When is Bluetooth connect coming???

*2010-01-29, version 0*

You guys promised more multiplayer options a very long time ago. When are they coming? Have you forgotten? I'd be happy to pay another buck just to have mutliplayer over Bluetooth.

### 4/5 — Good value

*2010-01-18, version 0*

Great for wifi feature. For a buck it is solid.

### 4/5 — Good and simple, great to pass time.

*2010-01-11, version 0*

Put that in your list.

### 3/5 — Battle at Sea

*2009-12-31*

Spiel ist kurzweilig und schnell. Was zum "Original" fehlt, ist das Weiterschiessen nach einem Treffer bis zum nächste Fehlschuss.Zudem ist die "Schusslogik" der CPU nicht ausgereift und auf niedrigem Niveau. Aber ok für etwas Ballerentspannung zwischendurch.

### 2/5 — Miese KI

*2009-10-29*

In der aktuellen Version ist die KI viel zu stark.

Bei vielen Matches trifft die KI sofort, beim ersten Versuch mehrmals.

Ansonsten ist nichts auszusetzen, wenn schon eine starke KI dann bitte wählbar.

Da der Spassfaktor leidet, 2 Sterne.

### 2/5 — Wifi doesn't work!

*2009-10-27, version 0*

This was a very good app on the first gen iPhone. Wifi actually worked (most of the time). But it has never been updated and wifi on the 3GS doesn't work at all. Connects and then disconnects. The reason to get this game is to play with a friend over a network. Save your money until it gets an update and works consistently over wifi... and/or gets updated to work over Bluetooth. Game is well done otherwise, but multiplayer is currently hosed.

### 2/5 — Great idea, not so great execution.

*2009-08-06, version 0*

App looks great but the connectivity over wifi has been shoddy at best. I seem to be stuck in a loop where I keep joining my own game. Restarted the phone and the issue is still occuring. Make this available over Bluetooth like some dollar apps and fix the networking issues and it will be a great app.

### 4/5 — Needs better multiplayer options...

*2009-08-03, version 0*

Definitely fun and a great Battleship game, but it desperately needs to enable multiplayer over Bluetooth. That would get it five stars in my book.

### 3/5 — Great, but...

*2009-06-29, version 0*

Great game, lots of fun, but could use an update for OS3 in order to be able to play multiplayer over bluetooth...

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2009-04-14, version 0*

This game is one of my very favorites!!!

### 5/5 — Really Fun with Two Players

*2009-04-06, version 0*

Tons of fun! And really a blast to play with another player (you need a WiFi connection to play on two phones). Cool game; any fan of Battleship during their childhood will love it.

### 5/5 — Genial für Zwischendurch

*2009-03-20*

Ich war auf der Suche nach Schiffe versenken. Dieses Spiel erfüllt voll und ganz meine Erwartungen. Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen.

### 4/5 — Great game and a must have for battleship fans

*2009-03-14, version 0*

The graphics are great and the local network multiplayer mode works well. The only thing that would make this game better is an on-line multiplayer mode.

### 3/5 — Battleships

*2009-03-01, version 0*

Excellent game. And with a little more development - such as different difficulty levels - likely to become indispensible.

### 1/5 — Crashes on multiplayer

*2011-11-05, version 0*

My friend just bought this so we could play multiplayer. Kept crashing and couldn't finish one game! Fail. Update this or make it free because it's not fully functional. Who wants to play battleship with just a computer?

### 1/5 — Update needed!

*2010-06-17, version 0*

This app hasn't been updated in ages. Pass'n'play is a must!!!!!

### 1/5 — Rip OFF

*2009-02-14, version 0*

I can't believe I got suckered into buying this. The game really blows.

### 1/5 — jonnyfoto

*2009-01-01, version 0*

great game for single players. multiplayer crap, connection gets confused and can't link up with another player. expensive for a single player game. stick with the original up in your loft !   :-/

### 1/5 — Alright but too expensive for what you get...

*2008-12-29, version 0*

This is the usual battleship game. In my opinion $5 is too much considering it has the same features of other free battleship games available.To me the price will be justified when they will add a way to play over the cell phone network against other real people.

### 1/5 — Prototype Reviews - Battle at sea

*2008-12-18, version 0*

With online play this game isn't bad but for $5 I wouln't ever recommend this game. Unfortunately I already bought it. Do not buy this unless it becomes   $.99. A 1 out of 5.

### 1/5 — Sv

*2008-11-23*

Ganz schlecht, schade ums Geld . Auf dem iPod Classic gab es viel bessere spiele.schade.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2008-07-13, version 0*

This game quits upon start up (iPod touch) so I really wouldn't recommend purchasing just yet.

### 2/5 — Was fun and 4 stars, but doesn't work on WiFi any more

*2013-01-18, version 0*

As others have noted, WiFi multiplayer has been broken for some time.  Is it 3GS or the current iPhone OS 3.1.3 or what?  How about an update to fix multiplayer play??

### 2/5 — Aufgegeben

*2011-02-13*

Eigentlich ganz nett umgesetzt. KI etwas schwach. Kein Gamecentersupport. Leider scheint das Spiel vom Entwickler nicht mehr weiterentwickelt zu werden, daher auch keinerlei Support und zukünftige Retina-Unterstützung etc.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Add please.

*2010-10-16, version 0*

Please add cells firing. Add PT boat fires up to three cells, battleship five cells, submarine four cells, destroyer four cells and aircraft carrier up to eight cells. Add three sonars for aircraft carrier, PT boat, battleship, destroyer and submarine.

Please allow us to fire the same spot we have fired just incase the enemy moved their ships. Add action song from battleship fleet command for the main menu and for during the battle. Add ship noises but really really loud. Add islands and Naval Bases. Please allow us to choose any ship.

### 5/5 — When will this be Available for the iPad???????????????

*2010-08-20, version 0*

I bought this for my iPhone & LOVED IT.  The graphics are clean & the gameplay is awesome.  Please, please, please make this available for the iPad, because the ones available now for the iPad just don't compare.

### 5/5 — The best BattleShip type game out there for iPhone

*2010-05-07, version 0*

This game rocks! I love being able to fire multiple times, it brings a whole new strategy to the game. Please, please, please port this over to the iPad as well!

### 5/5 — Tolle wifi Multiplayerfunktion

*2010-03-30*

Zu zweit mit wifi nur zu empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Sweet game

*2010-02-22, version 0*

Nice, simple, and fun playing someone using Wi-Fi.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2009-12-25, version 0*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — The best of this genre...

*2009-11-27, version 0*

...in the App Store. Smooth gameplay and cool sound effects.

### 5/5 — Wifi fun at last

*2009-10-17, version 0*

Looking for a fun multiplayer game for the wife and I we came across this classic. Price a little high but wifi play is worth every penny. Please add some better sound effects eeeeeoooooowww boom. whooop whooop etc then it would be a six star app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2009-07-02, version 0*

I love the game but it could use an update for OS 3.0. Seems slighty buggy.

### 5/5 — This is how I spend my spare time

*2009-04-19, version 0*

I love this application and use it more than my actual battleship board game. This is a good buy, but could be a little cheeper than $5. The one and only good Battleship application.
