### 1/5 — For IOS

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.9*

Come one it’s been ages why we have not this game on IOS???

### 4/5 — Apps turn off

*2026-04-27*

App crash automatically

### 1/5 — Deprecated components

*2026-02-16, version 1.2.9*

None of the input forms like “name” works in this app since some UI components are deprecated after IOS 9, but no one even maintain this app anymore! I even emailed the developer of the app, but I have not received any reply! Such an unfortunate

### 5/5 — Make available in IOS

*2026-01-31*

Please make the game available in the app store not the remote. Please

### 3/5 — Controller size

*2026-01-29, version 1.2.9*

Hello, great game, I remember playing this back in highschool with all my friends. i can’t find the option to change the joystick size, or is there even one.

### 1/5 — Where is the game

*2026-01-21, version 1.2.9*

I want to play the game not only have a controller

### 5/5 — Absolute blast! underrated game

*2026-01-03*

Just played this last night with family. We all lost our voices from screaming 🤣. It was so much fun and worked perfectly. The games graphics were really good. All you do is just download the game on your Mac book, connect it to the tv and everyone downloads this on their phone. Truly the best game for friends and family thank you for making such a game I can’t find one like this.

### 5/5 — Great Remote for a Great Game!

*2025-12-28*

A lot of people seem to misunderstand that this is a remote for the BombSquad GAME. You use your phone as a **remote** for the game on your Mac or other platform. Other than some occasional lag, this works great and it’s the perfect idea because it helps include everyone into the fun.

### 4/5 — What a game

*2025-12-07, version 1.2.9*

This game is great on your fire tv stick! However the remote (this app) lacks some calibration but everything else works really well and I fully recommend! 😎😎😎

### 1/5 — i hate this game

*2025-11-10, version 1.2.9*

I hate this game
