I’ve been on it for a long time but I can’t get over the plane pricing. I was hoping with this newest version. We’d have like plane packs or something ### 5/5 — Peak game *2026-04-26, version 1.27* No ads. No required internet. Story better than red dead redemption 2, literal peak. ### 2/5 — horrible controls *2026-04-26, version 1.27* something is just wrong ### 5/5 — Me *2026-04-26, version 1.27* Cool ### 4/5 — Good for time pass.

Better than previous 2 Carpet Bomber games.

Yk how fun that would be to play with a controller? Did i mention to add a controller compatibility. And also a controller feature could be nice. OH WAIT I FORGOT ONE MORE THING….. a controller compatibility 💔💔💔💔 ### 5/5 — CB three *2026-02-16, version 1.27* Honestly, a great game was very few years worth time and now it’s free and amazing ### 5/5 — It’s fun but … *2026-01-24, version 1.27* It’s fun, but sometimes I think that the joystick is too big because I try to go up but it makes me go down, I can’t see the joystick so that makes it difficult to see it when in combat ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-01-19, version 1.27* It’s pretty damn fun. Good time killer ### 5/5 — Solid entertainment *2026-01-18, version 1.27* They took the annoying fuel gauge away from CB2, thank god. The gameplay is solid and its fun and challenging. Good mix of planes, some are purchasable with money, some are earned over time. I like the balance and variety ### 4/5 — Good but resolution for some phones need sorting *2026-01-18, version 1.27* I enjoy this game and didn’t have any issue with it previously but now when re-downloading on iPhone 14, dot some reason the game is stretched out of the screen and buttons like pause almost out of touch and or even hard to play when jet flies top corner going off screen so I have there will be a fix for it soon ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-16, version 1.27* Awsome game ### 2/5 — Protect base mode glitch *2026-01-06, version 1.27* Cannot get the plane to takeoff in protect base mode ### 4/5 — Good but issues *2026-01-05, version 1.27* Enemy missles have too much fuel, wingmen are dumb as hell, dogfights are like an orgy, overall good tho ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-01-03, version 1.27* Best game ever I have found for my i phone graphics are dope game is fun to play anywhere I will never get bored best game ever ### 5/5 — Great phone game *2025-12-30, version 1.27* Really enjoy this game only commercials are if you want extra life’s. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Fun game. *2025-12-29, version 1.27* I enjoyed the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM.SCAM *2025-10-08, version 1.27* D une nullité sans nom..l avion est ingouvernable. Scam a lapoubelle ce jeu est pourri ### 1/5 — AI slop *2025-07-05, version 1.26* All the images are… Literally AI generated- I can’t even play this game without seeing AI slop right on the MENU. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-03-18, version 1.25* Was a good game. Played for quite a while. 15-30 second ads they snuck in when the game stops suddenly when you press the button to fire or bomb didn’t really bother me. Now the ads have increased in frequency and are a minute long each. Even after the 1st level (in infinity) 1 minute pops up suddenly after playing for like 30 seconds. Deceptive with how the pop up. Things still left on the screen to clear and you line up to drop a bomb or fire the gun and bang, there is a 1 min ad popping up as soon as you press the bomb or fire button. Deleting game. Not to mention, the rare updates lack substance of any sort. ### 1/5 — Typisches werbespiel *2025-01-24, version 1.24* Zu viel werbung nervt sofort ### 1/5 — Crash!! *2024-11-02, version 1.21* It is crashing and jumps out of the game. ### 1/5 — Барахло *2024-10-11* Ну это прям очень плохая халтура, а не игра. Отзывы куплены. ### 1/5 — Lazy. *2024-07-29, version 1.19* It uses AI generated images for the campaign characters,the enemy AI is also not that good and its super repetitive. I also don't like like feature that you have to find missiles and other weapons from dead enemies ### 1/5 — Bad compare to version 2 *2024-07-25, version 1.19* B-29 paid version is very bad compared to version 2. In Version 2, we can shoot in any direction but in this game it is only in the forward direction only. ### 1/5 — Hải *2024-06-19, version 1.16* Tải rất lâu ### 1/5 — 🤢 *2024-04-29* После обновления снова вылетает играть по прежнему не невозможно ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-29, version 1.27* Such a simple good game, great time waster, getting them stars is pretty hard but maybe I’m not good, 10/10 ### 5/5 — it is good *2026-07-06, version 1.27* is a good game i like it ### 5/5 — More levels to play *2026-06-28, version 1.27* Hi and thank you again, Give us more levels to play. I finished the game at level 206 a while ago and there are no new levels to play. ### 5/5 — Best 2D games *2026-06-27, version 1.27* There is one word to describe the story mod : Fantastic I never seen any thing like that in simple games So it will be perfect if in next update a new story mode add to game And also it will be more fantastic if we can have shockwave around fighters when flying with high speed Plz add F-5 tiger ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-27, version 1.27* Like the original, but more features and better game play. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-06-14, version 1.27* It’s worth the download. ### 5/5 — Game center sign in glitch *2026-05-30, version 1.27* I absolutely love this game. 1, 2 and now 3 are very good. I haven’t signed into any of the games until today, I connected my game center Apple account to the game and it reset all of my progress on aircrafts. Not just the abilities but the actual aircraft’s I had saved stars for. I had saved stars and purchased some of the best in the game. I’m not sure if this can be fixed but for future player experience, this would definitely be a great thing to fix. I’m very sad to see my progress that I worked for disappear essentially. ### 5/5 — Refreshing *2026-05-19, version 1.27* I love this app company. No forced ads, and the optional ads are straightforward and there is no BS clicking a dozen times to exit out of them. The game itself is a lot of fun too, been playing the original for many, many years too. ### 5/5 — Very cool game *2026-05-18, version 1.27* My dad told me about this game and I loved it love the story and idea! ### 5/5 — Carpet bombing 3 *2026-05-17, version 1.27* This game is fun, no ads no Wi-Fi needed 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
