### 1/5 — Not designed for a 9th generation iPad

*2024-08-30, version 2.0*

This game is not designed for a 9th generation iPad as it indicates in the app compatibility.  Items are on top of one another and the screen size shows there are items outside of the screen border

### 1/5 — Total rip off.

*2021-10-26, version 1.8*

Total rip off. Create your own.

### 3/5 — Great Game - Full of bugs makes it not enjoyable.

*2020-09-06, version 1.8*

This is a great game! The graphics are great, awesome arcade action BUT this thing hasn’t been updated in a while. It’s full of bugs:
1. Won’t let you purchase anything! You click on the buttons, nothing happens!
2. Sometimes it won’t update your progress. You complete a level to find out it didn’t record your progress! (Come on guys fix that!) you have to reboot the game the  it takes.
3. Too many ads for my liking.
Other small bugs, this game is such a good one too to have these huge bugs in it!

### 4/5 — No sound

*2020-07-01, version 1.8*

It’s a great game so far but I can’t get the sound to work in my up to date iOS 10

### 4/5 — Can’t sign in

*2020-01-26, version 1.7*

I’m on day 2 and the game keeps reminding me to sign in. When I click on the Sign In button, nothing happens. When I close that window and click on the Sign In icon in the upper left corner, I still can’t sign in. Ever time I complete a level, I get reminded to sign in. After I complete my upgrades, I get reminded to sign in. After I do any activity and come back to the main screen, I am reminded to sign in.....but the game is not allowing me to sign in. Very annoying. Other than that, I am enjoying this game immensely!

### 1/5 — Ehh

*2019-11-29, version 1.7*

It was good until I relized it was one of those games that makes u wait for energy to play. If you are out of energy, well u can get more by watching ads or $$! Fantastic!!

### 4/5 — Fun, but a rip off

*2019-10-21, version 1.7*

This game is fun, but more than just a little similar to Sky Force or Sky Force Reloaded. Everything from the ship specialties to the mechanics is just a clone of that game. 

Still a good time.

### 1/5 — A copy

*2019-08-31, version 1.7*

Pretty much a direct copy of sky force with worse physics

### 5/5 — love the game

*2019-07-23, version 1.4*

love the game

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2019-07-23, version 1.4*

Love this game
