And it doesn't save your high score. Put endless back in bird hunting and fix the high score thing. Also, when you play VS. human, make it so you have an option if using the same device or 2 different devices. ### 2/5 — Lacking *2013-05-22, version 0* In 2009, this game may have been decent, but now it's just a relic. Update the resolution and screen size pronto. ### 4/5 — Fix the sound! *2013-04-25, version 0* I can't turn the volume down and the sound that comes out when I fire the arrow doesn't sound anything close to the real sound at all!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Great *2012-11-26, version 0* But please update this app. ### 2/5 — Crap *2012-09-09, version 0* Not worth the money ### 4/5 — Presque parfait :-) *2012-07-09* Ce jeu est vraiment très bien. Si ça fait longtemps que tu l'a tu t'ennuie un peu mais vraiment tout le monde peut aimer. Par contre, il faudrait qu'il y ai des choses a débloquer (armures, flêches, arcs...) pour qu'il y ai un petit but (mais ne pas faire payer les équipements sinon ce serais TRES décevant). Et aussi un petit bug, les records ne sont pas sauvegardés dès que je ferme le jeu... J'espère que de futurs mises à jour et je pourrais peut-être rajouter une étoile ;-) Bonne chance et encore bravo pour ce jeu!! ### 2/5 — Old VERY quickly *2012-06-24, version 0* Pretty amateur game. Very basic and was over it in about 3 minutes. Should be free!!!! ### 2/5 — Retina!!! *2012-05-02, version 0* Make retina graphics and make flexible gameplay! Its not a 3d game it wont be too hard to fix it. Make it not look so unrealistically awkward ### 3/5 — Ok *2012-02-16, version 0* The game is cool but they need to fix things ex audio it still play audio when your volume is all the way down ### 1/5 — Bowman? Freakin' messed up, dangit! *2012-01-16, version 0* I bought it. It doesn't load. I waste money. Bleep you idiots who created it! What kind of sickos do this? Get a life, or better game creators. Butts. ### 1/5 — Can buy but won't install? *2012-01-04, version 0* Any insight into the issues with his app? Purchased on iPod touch 3rd gen but fails installation. App store shows installed but icon is nowhere to be found. General settings show app allowing me to delete and re-install but same problem. ### 3/5 — Upgrade *2011-12-08, version 0* It needs to shoot faster and the bird hunting should be optional if it's timed or not so if youre playing by yourself you can ### 1/5 — Waste *2011-11-21, version 0* Paid for but will not load. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Horrible horrible... *2011-11-06, version 0* I come in buy it Its loading it takes a minute for me but when I went in the app store I came out again but it was gone this game is I wouldn't recommend it I waisted $0.99 ### 1/5 — (bleep) *2011-10-09, version 0* The makers of this piece of crap need to be shot for taking people's money!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refund! *2013-05-27, version 0* It's not great at all! Do not get! The black and white version is the best ### 1/5 — Nothing like Bowman or Bowman 2 *2013-05-18, version 0* Arrows are wayyyyy too slow and laggy. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2013-03-26, version 0* Terrible it's a complete rip off the game bowman on computers. To improve better graphics. ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2013-01-02, version 0* No volume change No pause button Can't zoom out the screen Terrible sound and graphic quality Rubbish ### 1/5 — Fix the Sound Control!!! *2012-11-11, version 0* This game has a very loud shooting sound whenever you shoot the arrow. And guess what, there is NO way to turn off that sound or to change the volume!!! Because the sound is controlled by ringer volume, so to turn it off or change volume you have to goto settings and change or turn off your ringer volume EVERYTIME. ### 1/5 — Very basic *2012-07-21, version 0* Not very good game don't buy ### 1/5 — Never *2012-06-28, version 0* Never buy this app!!!!!!'

The only problem is that you should be able to turn the system on the other side so that if you're right handed, it's easier. Other than that, it's nearly perfect. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-12-30, version 0* This app is great since they updated it again it use to not work but now there are more options and a lot more it is just like on computer I luv it I highly recommend this app!!!! :) ### 5/5 — Fun *2010-12-23, version 0* No self impalement :( ### 5/5 — Great *2010-09-27, version 0* Pretty great game.
