### 4/5 — This game is a lot of fun. One small, minor thing though.

*2021-04-28, version 1.4.3*

I love this game. It is one of my favorites. It is very challenging, but who doesn’t like a good challenge. It isn’t even a bad price. And the add-on is another 99 cents, but still. It is a fun game. The ONLY thing I wish could be fixed is screen rotation. The screen wont rotate. It stays one way, but I hardly can stand it being upside down. It bothers me though. Probably not everyone. Other than that this game is great.

### 3/5 — Good game!

*2019-06-30, version 1.4.3*

Solid 4 star game. Loses a star for having to flip my iPad to play and low content. Come on dev's, let's not be lazy now... Game is super short, but fun. Can be beat in under 2 hours... Might purchase the add-on content.

I could see cutting your games short if you were pressured for time, but people expect much more from a game like this. Two hours is pretty short for the price. Some games last a long time with reply value for the same cost. I will admit, this game does have replay value.

Fun game, with good physics, but crippled by very low content.

EDIT: I purchased the add-on content. It's super hard. If you don't think the default levels are that good, don't bother with the add-on content. It should have been included in the game anyway, not as a separate purchase IMO.

### 4/5 — Good game but it’s broken.

*2019-03-02, version 1.4.3*

The only problem with this game is a glitch on the iPad where the inputs are inverted and upside down. But by just rotating your screen, it can fix the problem. Other than that, it’s a great game.

### 3/5 — Better than Simple Physics

*2018-09-02, version 1.4.3*

I enjoy this game more than Simple Physics.
However, Not sure if an update came out but lately the game will not open.

I miss it.   Please update & correct & glitches.   A game well worth it!

### 4/5 — Sad to see it go

*2017-03-29, version 1.4.1*

I really love this app but by the next update it probably won't work. The developer needs to update it so it can work with a more modern iOS system

### 5/5 — Nett

*2015-09-22*

Kp was ihr da spielt aber, man muss sich kein einziges lvl kaufen kann man alle frei spielen

### 5/5 — More fun

*2015-06-16, version 1.4.1*

I am likely to buy whatever this developer puts out. I have really enjoyed these apps.

*Update* the new content pack is a lot of fun! Don't listen to the handful of people who apparently don't feel they should ever have to pay for anything, it is well worth your .99 cents to support this developer who consistently delivers enjoyable games.

*Update 2*
Playing it through for the second time... That is something I rarely can say about IOS games.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2015-06-15*

Наконец-то игра в которой нужно думать. Все понравилось. Советую.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2015-06-12*

Очень крутая игра! За вечер прошел все 25 уровней! Очень затягивает. Иногда бесит, что не можешь пройти очередной уровень, но немного усидчивости и готово:) за вечер пройти реально! Было бы круто, если бы было не 25 уровней, а 50!

### 5/5 — Welliton Ol

*2015-06-12*

otimo

### 5/5 — O s m

*2015-06-12*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Great exercise for the mind

*2015-01-06, version 1.4.1*

While not entirely realistic, this is a very good cartoon version of accurate physics simulation. It is a lot of fun as the game encourages the most elegant solution to each problem.

### 5/5 — Creative & Imaginative

*2014-12-27, version 1.4.1*

Great physics gameplay intro for pre-teens. Great for all ages.

### 1/5 — Broken game?

*2024-06-18, version 1.4.3*

I played this game years ago and i loved it, sadly on my new ipad I can’t seem to get past the main menu. Please fix!

### 1/5 — I will get serious

*2018-12-06, version 1.4.3*

Look this game is advertised as a great cheap game but when I started it up it just flipped upside down and no controls work. Basically you took money from me. So if you don’t fix it it is false advertising. I love your other games I have simple planes as well but this is doesn’t live up to the standards you have set with all your other great games. I want this fixed or my money back. And I’m not upset and frustrated over $.99 its the fact that this problem has not been fixed. I looked at vids of the gameplay it looked amazing but this is bad. I will write letters and even contact the people who run the App Store until this problem is fixed. I’ll give you until Christmas Day to do this before I get really upset. And I don’t wanna go there. I know that you may be spending more time on SimplePlanes 2 but you still have other needs that need to be attended to. It’s like if you are the only doctor in the hospital. If you only ever focus on one patient the others will die. Just like if you only focus on one game all the others will die. I wan5 this fixed and I will keep checking in. If you are done with this game take it off the App Store and give us our money back. I’m trusting in you to fix this. Your reputation as a one of the best devs in mobile history depends on it too. I hope you make the right choice if not ohhh boi I’ll be back on Christmas Day. Thank You for your time.

### 1/5 — Used to Work

*2018-05-21, version 1.4.3*

Now it starts upside down and can’t get past the initial screen since none of the controls work.  iPad Air 2 with iOS 11.3.1.

### 1/5 — Bugs Galore

*2018-03-10, version 1.4.3*

There’s an abundance of bugs in this app. I can’t even press “close” after testing a design. It’s a real shame.. could be a cool app.

### 1/5 — Please Update

*2017-06-07, version 1.4.1*

This is one of my favourite apps. I've been playing it for 6 years. Please update it to 64-bit so we don't lose one of our favourite apps!

### 1/5 — Not worth money

*2015-07-31, version 1.4.1*

There are not enough level for being 2.99 should be free not many levels fun until I beat it in a half hour

### 1/5 — Needs fixes

*2014-11-22, version 1.4.1*

I like the game but there is no way to restore purchases. I spent an extra $3 on it and I can't get it back!!! Needs to be fixed

### 1/5 — DUMMY DEFENCE

*2012-12-28, version 1.3*

This game is cool that is why I'm going to give it 1 star

### 1/5 — The people who made this app is loser

*2012-09-08, version 1.2*

You know what?f,uk you! The game is ok but there is only 25levels in the game! You really love money do you? People ,do not buy this app,otherwise you will only use like 20mins to finish it and have to pay another 99cents for more! Not worth to buy it,trust me

### 5/5 — Great engineering game!

*2025-04-02, version 1.4.3*

It is a fun, iterative game that helps you understand how to best support or protect a dummy (or yourself) through the simplest building materials.

This is a must for any budding civil engineer you would know, starting from childhood!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-12-13, version 1.4.3*
