I had purchased many of of the different packages of Gunship. Please u[date and repair the bugs. I like the app very much ! ### 4/5 — Add some more 🙏 *2023-05-31* I love the game but it doesn’t have f14 and f18 please can you add some more planes🛩️ One of My thoughts about the game the game is a very interesting game I was small when I started playing and now I’m older and I still have it on my iPad I really love it could you add some tutorials please and add new map like desert 🐫🐫or sea 🐋🐳🐬🐟🦈 Thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍 ### 4/5 — Racism and swearing *2023-02-22* In the chat someone was saying racist comments and swearing. Please add some kind of filter to the chat. ### 4/5 — Very good *2022-11-27, version 3.8.4* Come on guys, this is a great game ant the F-105G would be a great addition. You need to keep updating. ### 3/5 — Btw *2022-10-24* F-5 shouldn’t be able to have a radar ### 4/5 — need updating *2022-06-20* please please revive this game. im getting tired of the overwhelming amount of chat spammers and people messing with the game. its destroying the coding and over the months its even worse. this game brings dreams to life to the ones who cant afford dcs world or even microsoft flight sim. dont let it die! ### 3/5 — Game crashes *2022-06-17, version 3.8.4* whenever i try to play the game crashes ### 4/5 — Jets are different birds *2021-06-30* I see some people complaining regarding the stall warning going off in a tight turn on the jets. You need to understand jets have thin razor edge wings that do not provide adequate lift unless airspeed is maintained. Rather than pulling with the stick you roll the jet instead. In the case of the F-5 Tiger the flight model is quite real. The best missile platform is by far the F-4 which can achieve the separation quickest to gain air superiority. Good game overall. ### 4/5 — The Best You Can Find *2021-05-27* This is probably the most accurate IOS flight sim you can find, almost everything plays like it should. However one should remember that Blackout arrives very quickly, and that turning is one of the best forms of dogfight, because oftentimes energy fighting just gets you killed. ### 4/5 — Add more planes *2020-10-17, version 3.8.4* Great game overall bit you should add more planes like the F-104, F-101, F-102, and helicopters like the, skycrane, Mojave, and jolly green giant. ### 2/5 — Unrealistic and at times baffling *2020-04-13* I understand this isn’t meant to be a perfect game. But there are issues here that wouldn’t be too difficult to solve so bear with me. Honestly I am extremely fustrated with the fact that one of the most agile fighters of the cold war which is still used today the F-5 Tiger II stalls and makes that awful grinding noise in basic turns. It seems you make the incorrect flight model for it. Since for some reason it has a wide turning radius, constantly stalls out and runs out of energy extremely fast im wide turns. This when the f-5 only has two aim 9’s an external tank and thats it. Barely any weight and still unmaneuverable. The F-5 is extremely agile and is renown for its easy flying. How could you mess that of all things. Its honestly the most annoying thing because the aircraft becomes unflyable, its the only dogfighter in the pack yet its the worst at dogfighting. ### 4/5 — あとちょっと！でも楽しい！ *2020-04-01* 良い点 ・追尾型のミサイル、精度もいい感じ ・いろんな装備が1機1機にある ・マルチプレイ、ルームに入るまでがとても早い ・ヘリコプターで人命救助ができる 足りないとこ　 ・Gの暗転が早すぎる、そのためドッグファイトが難しい ・戦闘機よりヘリコプターの方が多い、3機しかないためもうちょっと増やして欲しい ・燃料切れが激しい 面白いから頑張って！490円出す価値はあります！ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Add b52 *2022-11-13* I only got this game for the b52. Please can you update this game as long as your other WW2 game. This is an outrageous price for 3 planes ### 1/5 — App Crashes on iPad mini and iPod touch *2022-10-15, version 3.8.4* Please fix. ### 1/5 — Needs Update *2022-08-30, version 3.8.4* This app no longer works on the latest iOS version. It used to be a great game and I really enjoyed playing it - please revive it! ### 1/5 — L *2022-06-11, version 3.8.4* All their games don’t work anymore. They don’t load ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2022-05-19* Meine App funktioniert nicht mehr, ich habe seit 3 Monaten gemeldet,aber kam keine Antwortet ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2022-05-11, version 3.8.4* Hello, I’ve paid $5.99 for this game and it will not open on my phone. Device is an IPhone 8 running IOS 15.4.1, the latest version as of me encountering this problem (11/5/2022). The app flashes up then crashes as soon as I open it. The same happens with the free version too. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2022-03-17* Now I have had the free version for years and it was great, along with the World War Two version so I thought that this would be a great purchase along with another version of this which I think is the other Vietnam game? However after spending my money I went to go load in the game and it won’t let me in without crashing?! I have done all of the restarting app reinstalled it closed down my device etc but to No prevail… I can’t even contact the developers as they don’t allow it so please can you contact me and help me to either get the games up and running or I’ll get my money back, which is upsetting as I loved playing the free version but now none of them work >:( ### 1/5 — Fix the Bugs *2021-02-03, version 3.8.4* Fix the bugs. Get rid of that built-up G limit, all planes should have their own fixed G limit. ### 1/5 — RIP off *2019-01-17* The main reason I bought was for the b52 but didn’t get it really really mad give everyone it ### 1/5 — Ios 6splus *2018-09-02, version 3.8.4* Continually crashe...cant even take off before it kicks me off... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tout simplement parfait *2025-01-17* Les avions les commandes, les cockpit, tout est très très réaliste. Même la physique c’est super ### 5/5 — Amazing game for the price *2023-04-04* This game is so fun for the small price. I love playing it with friends and I hope you keep it compatible with the new iOS software. I heard about Gunship IV and am super excited. Any idea about when it will be out? ### 5/5 — Please update *2022-10-16* Game crashes right on startup, this used to be 1 of the most funnest game series I played on mobile and the fact that I can’t play it makes me sad ### 5/5 — Get it cos it’s so good but there are some issuse... *2022-07-31* Sometimes it ghose wired and it lags a little so get it! NOW!!!!!!!! And when are they going to f-105gs? Like the pntk isn’t around any more! And shut up samel sheardown you big mouth!?€$#*%; ### 5/5 — Incrível *2022-04-13* Um dos maiores e mais realista simulador de voo que existe! Cada detalhe foi muito bem pensado nesse jogo, os aviões, combate, cenário e física. Os painéis de Cockpit são detalhados e funcionais, proporcionando uma excelente imersão seja em qual for a aeronave! Meu avião favorito é o F-111 e o F-5. Estou ansioso pelos próximos lançamentos e muito satisfeito com todos os jogos da empresa. Parabéns 😁 ### 5/5 — Nerf the migs and add the f105g *2021-09-04, version 3.8.4* PLEASE ADD THE F105G AND NERF THE MIGS THEY CAN PULL 30 g’s WTHOUT BLACKING OUT but America you can’t even pull 3 g’s PLEASE FIX IT. ### 5/5 — Please ban pug *2020-07-16* There is a person with the call sign pug and he spams white power vote national socialism and other things can you ban him please also great game. ### 5/5 — Beste Jet Kampf Simulation 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 *2020-07-07* Hallo liebe Entwickler.Ich finde diese Simulation die beste Jet Kampf Simulation die ich jemals auf dem iPhone hatte ❤️. Es Wehr Mega wenn man noch flarse (Abwehr Systeme für misiles) ins Spiel bringen könnte. ### 5/5 — Realistic *2020-05-16* Now this game is realistic and that guy who said the F-5E Tiger was messed up was lying, it’s a warning system to tell you if your turning too sharp, I would request bigger bombers though, besides that this game is very well made and if someone says something is broken, I play the game a lot so I could find the issue, and some people post reviews because their salty they got killed a lot and wish for big bombers for that reason. But thanks for posting this game and I’m pretty much gonna continue to play ### 5/5 — Worth the price *2020-04-09* It is very fun and I think that it is worth the money --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
