And I paid... So lame **Developer response:** It's an open boat sim, it remembers you're last position, just like a real boat. The next version will include changeable weather, however that was more a 'boat sim elite' feature, because this game was intended to be blasting around in a boat having fun and not taking away from that with dark skies and rain. ### 4/5 — Would be cool *2015-10-24, version 1.33* If there was more detail on the inside of the fishing boat like a wheel, and the ability to actually fish using it. ### 3/5 — Can't steer *2015-05-22, version 1.31* You can't steer at all you can only go forward and it's hard to look around and if you do it's hard to look back plz fix its a waste of money and now I'm mad ### 3/5 — Multiplayer *2014-11-20, version 1.29* Can u pls make it so we can play with friends...that would make this game awesome. Otherwise it is a good game but needs multiplayer:) ### 3/5 — Glitches and needs *2014-08-01, version 1.25* You guys have 1 glitch that I have noticed witch is when you are on the speed boat / cruiser you can drive through the land and be inside of it it's hard to explain. Then you guys need to make the Graphics better. The the time should change like 10 minuets if day , 7 minuets of night. You need more boat selections and a main menus and different worlds/ maps ### 1/5 — Why does it crash? *2014-07-11, version 1.25* I just got the game today and also got boat simulator 2 today. For some reason they keep on crashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Good Overall *2014-07-07, version 1.25* Like the game overall, it's progressing well. Just a few suggestions for the next update: fix the buttons so they are more responsive and don't have to be pressed five times to work. Add menu so you can choose boat and scene, not be forced to deal with pre set location. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2014-06-25, version 1.24* When I try to play the game it always takes me back to the home screen and it doesn't let me play the game and is a waste of time and $. ### 4/5 — Love the update *2014-05-23, version 1.23* This game is getting better and better every update love the new boats and textures but now maybe you can add a home screen were you can select your boat, change the time and in the future possibly and a boat racing gamemode ### 2/5 — Not very realistic. Not what I was hoping for. Currently not worth the money, but there is hope! *2014-05-22, version 1.23* This game is not realistic to driving a real boat. I like the scenery. It is very nice, but the boat driving experience is not their. It is childish. There isn't even a throttle. It's just a joy stick. No speed control, horn, lights, steering wheel, or etc. There are only two boats currently which makes this game get real boring real fast. I took a risk buying this game and I lost that risk. I hope to see it get better as time goes on. Please take my money and make the game better. I promise I will re-review if it gets better. One star for scenery and one for the developers honesty in the description. ### 4/5 — LODING takes forever *2014-04-19, version 1.22* The loading is taking so long!!! But a good game ### 1/5 — Horrible *2014-04-05, version 1.21* Won't start half the time, and when it does it does not work and crashes. No customer support as I emailed and got no reply. ### 1/5 — Can't get in *2014-02-02, version 1.19* I downloaded the game and now the app won't open. I emailed customer service and got no response. I just want the game to work!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-06-04, version 1.33* This game was horrible I just can’t believe this the boats don’t even have motors and the boat graphics stink **Developer response:** Sorry you didn't like the title. It was possibly the first open boat sim game for a phone when it was released but devices are more powerful now and graphics have gotten better. An update is in the works and will be released shortly! Suggestions welcome on our site. ### 1/5 — Don't get *2017-08-11, version 1.33* Just trust me it is not worth it **Developer response:** People don't want to trust you. If you're going to add a review, add a review. ### 1/5 — Waste *2016-02-03, version 1.33* This is a waste of $2.00 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-07-22, version 1.32* This game was very bad. All around worst game and simulator I have ever played!!😡 ### 1/5 — Worst ever!!!!!!!!😡 *2015-06-27, version 1.32* This game needs more boats options for steering and the game makers lied about every detail there is one city no dock and there are no options every game should have an options menu the boats all have horrible camera angles and places where they add a view the game is very small and they make it seem big with a giant map but the whole game is horrible it is a -100,000,000,000, stars it is the biggest waist of money don't buy it unless your ready to get angry about this terrible game. **Developer response:** Wow, thanks for the feedback, not everyday you get called a liar. Hope you're over your frustration by now, you could have explained just what you'd have preferred with camera angles etc. ### 1/5 — Baaaaad *2014-12-28, version 1.29* Can't control anything horrible.

Controls are hard to use and not very responsive. Sim is not that realistic. If I had the opportunity to try before paying 1.99 would not have purchased. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but could be EPIC *2018-03-08, version 1.33* can u add sinking like u can go in the middle of the ocean and hit a rock mine get hit by a torpedo or hit an iceberg. Please add this! ### 5/5 — Great boat sim *2015-06-29, version 1.32* The other reviewer is totally wrong and should take a chill pill and learn how to spell. There are multiple docks. It's one of my favorite apps - simple fun like the developer states. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2014-12-10, version 1.29* This app is the best boat simulator on the App Store but please make it so there is a cigarette boat that would be sick anyways beat game worth my money ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-07-08, version 1.25* Runs smoothly, fun to experiment with!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2014-06-09, version 1.24* I love this app. Please add more boat models like Grady white fishing boat,jet ski, cruise ship ### 5/5 — Better *2014-06-04, version 1.24* They should make it so it's less glitchy but they should also make a jet ski besides that it's a good game ### 5/5 — Relaxing Boat Sim keeps getting better *2014-05-22, version 1.23* With current update showing a lovely sunset scene, improved boat, other vessels, scenery, and another cam view, this enjoyable simulation app continues to improve. I enjoy sailing around the seascape. Some water sounds would be nice, and the sky needs tweaking, but love these Boat Apps. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Ipodtouch *2013-12-14, version 1.17* The game won't let me go in and drive boats please fix please ### 5/5 — Needs offshore *2013-10-05, version 1.17* It needs offshore racing and it would be cool if it had stuff like statement marine boat and big waves Good app otherwise ### 5/5 — How do I play *2013-08-18, version 1.12* How do I play --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
