## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Almost impossible

*2024-07-06*

Starts out with extreme difficulty. No where to go from there.

### 1/5 — To hard

*2021-01-14*

I hate this game it is to hard to land I have never landed

### 1/5 — Not fun at all

*2020-10-08*

So i tried landing but EVEN THE SOFTEST TOUCH WHILE MOVING "CRASHES AND KILLS CREW TRY AGAIN" and the graphics arent that bad but have a difficulty selector.

### 1/5 — I can not land

*2019-07-23, version 1.3.2*

Sorry I can not land it just crashes when I am in the right place
To land that is why I rate 1 star

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2019-06-29*

This lander must be made from Tinfoil. Any landing speed greater than .00038 feet per second guarantees failure.

### 1/5 — Horrible simulator

*2019-03-01, version 1.2*

This thing is impossible to win even when you get it right

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-02-19*

This seems at first like it can be fun but it's impossible to land on the moon.. Even at the correct velocity and attitude, the lander always crashes. Awful.

### 2/5 — Needs to be easier

*2020-10-14*

It is super hard to win the Apollo spacecraft I keep trying to get slower and slower and slower and still doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Challenging

*2019-04-22*

The yaw keeps moving when I stop using the thrusters.

### 2/5 — Good effort

*2017-06-03*

I like the theme and concept. I do want to correct the description. Buzz Aldrin was the one to pilot the lander and not Neil Armstrong. Neil was just along for the ride.

### 5/5 — Hard as rocket science

*2024-07-14*

People giving low reviews are forgetting  exactly what they’re doing

### 5/5 — Very hard

*2023-05-17, version 1.3.2*

It might be impossible but it’s so fun so I give you 5 stars I love Apollo missions :)

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2018-02-27*

This game is tough, but not impossible at all. I can land every time if I like. Took a while, but is worth it! Oh, and the person who said Buzz did the piloting, and Neil was just along for the ride? That’s not true. Neil did the landing, and did it magnificently. Buzz will tell you so.

### 5/5 — Lunar Lander

*2017-12-16*

Fun and challenging game! Hopefully gets a few little updates to make it perfect.

### 4/5 — Thx

*2024-10-24, version 1.3.6*

Thanks for removing the ads and it’s a bit hard to land worth the download

### 4/5 — POCKET LANDER BETTER

*2019-09-05, version 1.3.2*

GOOD BUT POCKET LANDER WAY BETTER

### 4/5 — Good physics game addiction starter

*2018-05-07, version 1.0*

I’m surprised. I actually enjoy this more than I thought, and the ads are really small. Even then, I’ll pay a dollar for this to get rid of the ads.

### 3/5 — Very hard to land.

*2018-08-14*

This is just like the original lunar landing game. 

The controls are a little difficult to get used to because the side thrusters are bursts where is the main thruster is continuous and only changes after you let go, not after the initial touch of the screen

Developers:  Need several degrees of difficulty like easy, medium, hard with different tolerance levels, to get beginners started. And more consistent controls.

### 3/5 — Good attempt

*2017-07-23*

The premise of the game is quite simple, to land the Lunar Module before the fuel runs out.  You can control thrust and pitch to affect vertical and horizontal speeds.

The controls though are all presented on the right of the screen, and you cannot reposition them.  This makes controlling the LEM much more difficult.  

The layout of the speed and height indicators could also be better presented to make them easier to read as you are controlling the descent.  Maybe have the crew member read out information as you go.

I think that this is a good attempt to replicate the behaviour of the LEM in landing phase.  With some tweaks and enhancements, I am sure that the game could be more rewarding.  Perhaps introduce different levels, where the desired landing area is covered in rocks, and you have to fly further to get a safer landing spot, or you get computer errors, just like Neil and Buzz did in the first attempt.

### 3/5 — To hard!!!

*2017-05-01*

I love the original luna landing. Its a classic!!! But this game has nice graphics and controls, just You can never win
