### 1/5 — iOS Version is Incomplete

*2020-09-15, version 5.0*

UNABLE TO COMPLETE SKULL ISLAND ON IOS!

Developers obviously didn't include all game features in the iOS version. There's no hut to search for survivors. It's confusing, so I actually spent money, thinking I needed to buy them. After the first purchase, I still didn't have the ability to search and rescue. Also, when you make it to Skull Island, there's no shipyard.

This game has no activity from the developers on their page or the Facebook page since 2018. They're happy yo take your money, though.

Don't fall for the scam.

### 1/5 — Terrible music

*2020-07-07*

Too much bass in the music i could stand 1 minute of it before it got old.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2020-07-06, version 4.2*

It’s ok

### 3/5 — Skull Island bugged

*2020-07-02, version 4.2*

Skull island is reachable, but the quest freezes and the island doesn’t appear to be loading properly.   I can see the boats and harbors and particle effects, but not the island - and the quest doesn’t credit completion.

### 5/5 — Can’t get to skull island

*2020-05-05*

How do I get to skull island I have max prestige on the first island as well brought everything on the first island

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-05-03, version 4.2*

Still unable to unlock the second island?

### 4/5 — Skull island

*2020-05-02, version 4.2*

Having unlocked skull island it doesn’t load properly. It appears there is no land there at all.
