### 4/5 — Broken

*2020-12-19*

On the iPad it’s broken please fix it

### 3/5 — It’s good but not worth $11.99

*2020-02-03, version 2.8*

I love the game however I wish it was a little more comprehensive. Perhaps for those of us who may not know electronics the implementation of the tools is a little useless if we don’t know what we’re looking for most levels I just wing it but I wish there was a way to use all the tools to snip the right wire. It’s more of a guessing game for me but it is fun. I just wish there was a simple tutorial on how to determine or how to interpret the information the tools provide.

### 3/5 — App Hangs

*2019-04-08, version 2.8*

The app hangs halfway while playing

### 3/5 — Not worth the money

*2019-02-18*

Eh

### 4/5 — Entertaining, challenging, no FTUE

*2018-07-22*

Overall the game is worth playing, there are hints available if you really cannot figure stuff out, but prepare to have many game overs. 

It would be neat to understand more of why I need to do each thing for different types of bombs (some classes available after the first couple levels?).

### 1/5 — As an electrician for 15 years

*2018-03-11*

I thought people were complaining just because the game took a little thought so they gave up.  Nope. You learn nothing from this. It’s literally click and hope and do it over and over agin until you complete the level. They give you very little time to defuse the bomb. Like the bomb squad finally found the bomb at the very last minute for every single bomb. No clue what the multi meter is for or how and when to use the jumper wire. The cost for this game is outrageous. This had some serious potential. But without a tutorial it’s seriously a waist of time. Don’t buy it. Listen to the reviews. I wish I would have.

### 1/5 — Naja

*2018-02-24, version 2.4*

Also bei mir reagiert es manchmal nicht auf Tastendrücke ( mit dem spannungsprüfer zu messen ist reine Glückssache man sieht nicht welche Kontakte man nun ausgewählt hat) und an sich oft sehr unlogish kleine Hinweise wären manchmal nicht verkehrt und leider null Hilfe in der App. würde es mir nicht nochmal kaufen

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-01-15, version 2.4*

Expected more of a game I spent eight dollars on don’t waste your money or your time it’s Hey way to scam eight dollars out of you

### 1/5 — Do not get this game

*2018-01-11, version 2.4*

Not Worth it

### 1/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE

*2017-12-26, version 2.4*

On level 2 the screws will not unscrew...

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2017-11-06*

I expected a lot from a game that cost $8, but this was not worth it. The game has no tutorial level and you can only use the guidance hint button once per level. The details are very well done, but it doesn’t make up for poor game design and a pretty high price for a phone app.

### 2/5 — Where's the puzzle?

*2017-09-06, version 2.0*

Looks nice, but to pass each level it's just trial and error until you get the combination, no puzzle solving skill involved. The greatest challenge is to not kick yourself for wasting money buying it.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2017-08-28, version 2.0*

This game expects you to know what everything is without a tutorial like it's impossible sometimes really needs to fix immediately I didn't waste $5 hopefully.

### 4/5 — gioco poco intuitivo

*2017-08-21, version 2.0*

gioco interessante per bombaroli

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-12-23*

I’m an actual bomb tech. This teaches nothing.

### 1/5 — Closes the app

*2023-11-03*

Still crashed need a undate to fix

### 1/5 — Rubbish don’t waste your money

*2021-02-13*

Touch icons barely work, on newer iPads only partial interaction screen not full screen if I could get my,only back I would so much potential and such a rubbish solution

### 1/5 — Not compatible with new iPad Air

*2020-10-31, version 3.0*

Does not work on new iPad Air 4.  Loads fine but when starting to play opens a partial screen cutting off edges making it impossible to play.  In game feedback form directs to page with a 404 error

### 1/5 — Macht Spaß ABER

*2020-03-08, version 2.8*

Leider hat das Spiel einen Fehler die ersten Level gehen aber später kann gibt es einen Level wo sich das Spiel immer verabschiedet. Schade

### 1/5 — Not worth it I NEED A REFUND

*2020-02-08*

The game is not worth the 
M $11. I’ve played a few time and deleted it because 8 out 10 times I would tap on something to unscrew or cut and it wouldn’t do anything  wish I could get a refund.
I can’t even leave a review

### 1/5 — Autre langue

*2020-02-06*

La version française se fait attendre depuis bien trop longtemps et sa apporterais pas mal pour ce jeux qui a l’air d’être bien mais on et vite perdue dés les première missions a cause de ce gros problème

### 1/5 — Not worth paying for

*2018-06-20, version 2.5*

The designers of this game assume that you are a bomb expert and know which wires to cut or what to do. There is no tutorial phase and it just throws you right into the game. The only “how to play” that there is only explains the tools you are given. In my opinion it is not worth the money spent to buy it.

### 1/5 — Einfach schlecht

*2018-06-15, version 2.5*

1€ wäre noch zu teuer. Es gibt keinen logischen Zusammenhang. Ich verstehe einiges von Technik, leider hat das Spiel weder mit Technik noch mit Logik zu tun.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2018-04-12, version 2.4*

Ist die knapp 9 Euro nicht wert. Schlechte bis keine Animationen, manchmal werden die Buttons nicht erkannt, unlogische Lösungswege etc. flog nach 3 Leveln wieder von Handy und die 9€ sind weg.

### 5/5 — Didn’t know I needed this app

*2024-10-22*

Not sure what it says about me that this popped up in recommended but this is a really novel game. Most is self explanatory, but a “training module” would be nice. This is a good start and I hope they continue to develop more detail in the future.

### 5/5 — Bomb squad

*2019-02-16*

It great

### 5/5 — Игра огонь 🔥

*2018-05-04*

Отличная играю про сапера на время и логику. Учит тому как обезвредить бомбу, какие провода резать, а ненужно, только бы русский язык добавили. Вообщем игра отличная, всем советую!!!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2018-04-17*

Super jeu un peu trop complexe parfois mais super intéressant 5 etoiles

### 5/5 — 4€ Absolut wert!!

*2017-10-21, version 2.0*

Ja nicht von all den 5 jährigen die im Physikunterricht nicht aufgepasst haben verwirren lassen. Mit Trial and Error hat das Spiel ganz sicher NICHTS zu tun. Ein geniales Spiel!

### 5/5 — sa coche

*2017-09-13, version 2.0*

sa coche

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2017-08-18, version 2.0*

Nice.

### 5/5 — Give it a try

*2017-07-23*

Don't bother if you don't know how to apply strong deductive reasoning. If you want a challenge and know how to use your head, it's a pretty cool game.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-06-28, version 2.0*

Very good looking, ton of levels and perfect sound.

### 5/5 — The most realistic bomb game!

*2017-06-09, version 2.0*

This is the best bomb game on the app store.
