### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-09-26, version 1.0.3*

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out how to play it, but the interactive tutorial was really helpful. Lot of fun!

### 5/5 — Uniquely refreshing

*2016-07-24, version 1.0.3*

Like UpLink, it's different than most but addictive and fun to play.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME!!!

*2016-07-11, version 1.0.3*

This game is one of the BEST games I've ever played! Hours of fun! So many things that you can do in the game! There's also some strategy involved if you like strategy games!

### 4/5 — If you liked uplink

*2015-08-30, version 1.0.3*

If you liked uplink, this is worth a play.  It seems a bit more realistic than uplink.  Game play is fun and challenging.  A bit more tutorial or some sort of help would be appreciated for those not entirely familiar with tech.

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2015-08-15, version 1.0.2*

Offers a new way to play games.
Be fast and smart.

### 5/5 — Loving it so far

*2015-08-09, version 1.0.1*

Heavily recommend if you like games like uplink, putting you right into the shoes (computer) of a hacker or script kiddie. Dev, please fix the notepad from completely emptying copied information. That's the only negative thing so far, otherwise a great game.

### 5/5 — Feels like a mobile Uplink

*2015-08-07, version 1.0.1*

Without an iPad, I thought that I would never get that level of hacking goodness...until this game. Worth every penny.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Requires mandatory note paper or second screen

*2025-02-24, version 1.0.3*

The in game notepad is only so helpful because you can’t copy and paste. Once you hit level 3 you need to CONSTANTLY check the notepad again and again, costing you time you can’t make up for. So get ready to write it down or dictate it to another device.

Not a very good standalone mobile game, is it?

Also, you had better be ready to watch your botnet like a hawk. Here’s how your play session will go: Breathe a few times, increase botnet. Check one detail for the mission, increase botnet.

Also i agree with the other reviewer who is disappointed your game gets terminated after the goal. Ridiculous, there should be free play.

This game in summary worked very hard to earn 1 star.

### 1/5 — Eh...

*2018-11-04, version 1.0.3*

This game is pretty boring, its not even close to being like uplink (no awesome soundtrack, no 2000’s internet age vibes, and there are only 3 mission types). Also, as soon as you hit the money limit, game-over. Can’t play that save anymore, no “freeplay”. Considering the last update was 3 years ago, this is never going to be fixed. Would refund this if I had the choice- not worth 3$.

### 2/5 — Could be fun

*2016-09-12, version 1.0.3*

This game has a lot of potential but it is way too difficult, even on the easiest difficulty setting. You level up jobs way too quickly, meaning you don't get any time to practice your new learned skills before having to move on to much more complicated processes. There needs to be much more slower progression so that you're not caught out within your third job attempt. I would prefer a much more relaxing game where I have the time to think through the logic problems and enjoy the puzzle

### 3/5 — Monotonous

*2017-02-21, version 1.0.3*

I give it a 3 because it is not fun, although they put a lot of work into it. I do not suggest buying it.

### 4/5 — It’s great but

*2020-02-02, version 1.0.3*

It’s an amazing game that keeps you going for hours but there’s one problem. When I put in all the formats for the DOB none of them worked. Please tell me how to fix or get past it.

### 4/5 — (2018 Update)

*2018-07-23, version 1.0.3*

Taking away a star due to a cannot proceed bug.

Dear dev did you abandon? 

Interactive (beginner) tutorial, buggy. I delete files from log folder and empty out trash bin as per instructions. Game won’t proceed. Zero is still stuck at “delete files from trash” 

iPad Pro 10.5
iOS 11.4

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
If you like simulations, and want to simulate a hacker. Here you go! I like this more than Uplink. 

Amazing job dev! Just amazing. Thank you for this masterpiece.

### 4/5 — 4.9 stars

*2016-12-17, version 1.0.3*

Good game but confusing at times it also takes a while to complete something but it's an amazing app 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 4/5 — Bit of a problem

*2016-08-15, version 1.0.3*

It's a great game and it's clear a lot of effort was put in it but when on hard mode if you try to dos someone you can't

### 4/5 — Worth my money, just.

*2016-06-15, version 1.0.3*

It's a pretty good game, at first I found it a bit boring and thought it wasn't worth my money, but now I'm enjoying it. I just wish it was cheaper...

### 4/5 — Solid game.

*2016-04-12, version 1.0.3*

Played a few hours now and I am well into it. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Uplink. No coding needed, just good memory and logic deduction skills.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-12-24, version 1.0.3*

Remember to copy to clip!

### 5/5 — Great Game But Stuck Because of Minor/Major Bug

*2021-09-13, version 1.0.3*

It seems the game rounds up your skill level; when I was skill level 246.6MB, level 4 listings opened up for me, however, I was unable to make level 4 viruses which required 250MB. None of my Trojans were getting caught because the targets all have security level 4. Thus, I am literally a sitting duck until Interpol catches me unless my Bitcoin stealers can outpace the moving costs...

### 5/5 — Compelling

*2021-04-15, version 1.0.3*

Great game that really challenges the grey matter

### 5/5 — Probably most accurate hacking on ios

*2020-10-24, version 1.0.3*

Has so many cleanups it could be a really in depth game if it keeps updating.  Would pay for this

### 5/5 — Truly worthy successor to uplink

*2020-09-27, version 1.0.3*

I ploughed many hours of my life into uplink back in the day and this has the same brilliant gameplay with much updated processes, well worth the low price.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-09-10, version 1.0.3*

Love this game! Is it too late to ask for a sandbox mode without Interpol?

### 5/5 — Best Hack Sim still going Strong

*2018-03-29, version 1.0.3*

This is, far and away, the best hacking game availabele on AppStore.  I really wish there was a p.C. Version As well.   There need me to be s sequel!!    I don’t understand, the devs caught lightening in a bottle with this game and just moved on. I guess they got tired of hacking games.  Anyway do yourself a favor and get this Game.

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2017-08-11, version 1.0.3*

The interactive tutorial is good.  Although it would be helpful to give tips on how to manage Interpol status.  That part is a bit unclear.  I like that social engineering is part of this game.  It would be fun if some of the basic coding commands were part of the game instead of just watching the text appear on the screen, the player should be required to learn a few of those commands.

### 5/5 — Seems legit

*2017-06-18, version 1.0.3*

Based on reality, this app takes you through port scanners, FTP, Brute Force attacks and such. I'm no hacker, but this is fun and not cheesy at all.

### 5/5 — Intense fun

*2017-05-19, version 1.0.3*

It's not uplink, but it's not trying to be.  Having no knowledge about the real hacking in the world this feels pretty realistic.

Bottom line though I'm having fun.
