### 3/5 — Needs update

*2026-04-05*

It’s been the same for years. It has so much potential. It is fun, but the same game modes get boring when there aren’t a lot of players. You can’t buy a plan if you aren’t at a high enough rank so that gets annoying and it needs a better way to make money.

### 4/5 — It’s good.

*2026-01-31*

It’s a bad(obviously) game, but it’s actually really fun, wish that there was clearer instructions for each mission, I’m stuck on lvl 3.

### 4/5 — Best Game

*2025-09-23, version 1.4.14*

Dogfight elite is a great game, but it glitches a lot sometimes. And I can’t get in a game to play often. But other than that, Dogfight Elite is great.

### 4/5 — Where is the world war 2 planes?

*2025-05-16, version 1.4.11*

The game is good for its ww1 planes but where is the ww2 planes as it shows in the pictures?

### 4/5 — How to join ww2 battles?

*2025-04-30, version 1.4.9*

As of now I can only access ww1 fights where nobody plays.  How do I join ww2 battles?

### 3/5 — Good game but glitchy

*2025-03-08, version 1.3.34*

The game pretty good, but every few minutes I play the game the screen blacks out for the hole time I am playing the game, so I have to close the game, and start all over. Please, can you fix that?

### 4/5 — Good game

### 4/5 — Ok but annoying

*2024-03-17*

I shot down people all the time but it very rarely lets me go up a level. Also, there should be a campaign because with the practise you do tons of missions and when you leave and join again it just deletes all that data from the practise part of the game

### 4/5 — Review in game achievements

*2024-02-10, version 1.3.32*

Excelente juego

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2023-06-20, version 1.2.37*

Best ww1/ww2 dogfighting game out there. Great physics. Exciting gameplay. WW2 is so fast.! Dev. is around all the time if there is a prob. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW !!!!

### 5/5 — My name is red_baron33

*2023-04-30, version 1.2.37*

I love this game there is nothing better no bugs. The only thing that needs to be improved is how far the shells go

### 2/5 — Not competitive anymore!

*2023-02-21, version 1.2.37*

I want developers to fix ww1 and ww2 server apart and not the mixed wars, because like me as a newbie other players take the advantage of ww2 planes on manoeuvre fights and faster bombing while our plane are still on ww1 and no fun. I want developers to make different server so only ww1/ww2 planes can be used. Thank you!

### 5/5 — From davelovesukraine

*2022-12-07, version 1.2.37*

Such a great game wow

### 5/5 — I must be mad (not really)

Great game, not perfect, nothing ever is.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-07-12*

Outstanding I love it more than Roblox! Holy frikkkng frack!

Wow!

### 5/5 — Seems fair : Thank you!

*2022-06-20*

Got paired up with some dude with a better plane meanwhile me with my ww1 plane

Edit: Thank you very much dev. I appreciate it. I may have left that comment a little heated since I wanted to go back and play a game that was part of my childhood.

**Developer response:** Hi
This happens when very few people online. I changed it so that you would get now an extra shield against ww2 planes if there are not enough people online.

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2022-06-13, version 1.2.27*

This is the only good dog fighting game on the App Store this is just crazy good!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — You can’t fly

*2023-08-11*

You can’t fly a plane I don’t know how you do it

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2023-01-17*

At some point you are forced to buy planes because the ones you own become “too old to fly”. The only way around this is to spend actual money on points to buy a new plane. (I dont spend money on any games) I’ve been playing for years and now that I’m unable to play because my planes are “too old”. Good community and good people, but the creator needs to rethink some of his ideas. If it ain’t fixed soon, I’m done playing for good.

### 1/5 — Take my plane away!

*2022-03-06, version 1.2.11*

I paid for a plane and then they take it back!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money

*2021-12-02*

Was a great game 7 years ago but now they have changed the rules I say now but it’s like constant new updates every couple days your basically beta testers for echoboom. And when you get angry and complain they just ban you.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you feel like this, but I release updates weekly with all the new fixes and request from people in the forum.

### 1/5 — Daily updates virtually

*2021-07-17*

Are you that useless at coding you need to update this crap daily.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you feel like that. It gets updated weekly unless some urgent matter arises.

### 1/5 — Inferior quality, frustrating user interface

*2020-12-29, version 1.1.52*

Quality is not good, UI is subpar, and aiming is impossible.

Lag is horrendous in this game. Very frustrating to play.

### 1/5 — Is there  another way

*2020-03-30*

On my game I can not do anything other then practise can you let you do multiplayer without an account and I can’t get planes let me get planes without login in

### 1/5 — Bring back original dogfight

*2020-03-28*

Deleted this long time back as game not the same

### 1/5 — Unimpressed.

*2019-10-05*

The game has pay to win players who have reached the top through pouring money in and then spawn killing novice players with their superior planes. 
I complained about one of these players with screenshots after she repeatedly spawn killed me in a game and because she’s poured money in the response by the developer was to ban me instead.

**Developer response:** Hi
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The ban was removed long ago because it was a mistake on the system. We also added an anti-spawn killer on the update.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2019-05-08, version 1.1.10*

One of the levels were too protect the carrier but i couldn’t shoot down a single german aircraft. I played this for nothing!

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-03-10, version 1.4.20*

I love this game so much and it’s been 42 hours but I still don’t have the write a review award please give it to me ;) Thanks

### 5/5 — Potencial

*2026-03-01*

O jogo tem muito potencial, isso ja se prova pelo tempo em ação, porem, previsa muito melhorar, facilitar desbloquear novas aeronaves, subida de nivel, e ganho de moedas, muitos jogadores entram e saem do jogo sem nem saber da quantidade de conteudo que o jogo tem a proporcionar, justamente pela sua evolução muito lenta. Alem disso, recomendo tentar melhorar a fisica, o movimento da camera que é bem ruim, fisica das bombas, novos mapas, graficos e etc, meu nick é NOBALLSBR aguardo minha conquista hahaha.
