### 3/5 — iPad Full Screen Orientation

*2025-10-09, version 2.4.1*

Hey! Continue improving it and add new arcs. We need iPad version of this app ASAP

### 4/5 — Screen rotate please

*2025-06-27, version 2.4.1*

I wish there was a feature to turn the screen to landscape position for iPad. I had to delete it because the screen did not rotate. Other than that problem it is good

### 2/5 — Abandoned

*2025-02-17, version 2.4.1*

I loved this app but it’s been abandoned and the buildings do not show up at all.

### 1/5 — La app no funciona bien

*2025-02-02, version 2.4.1*

No me deja construir los edificios que quiero, aunque marque un tipo de edificio me construye otro aleatoriamente. Además me saca de la aplicación frecuentemente y una vez añado un mapa no me deja seleccionar el anterior. Espero que solucionen todos estos fallos para poder usar la aplicación.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2024-11-10, version 2.4.1*

MarsCraft turns studying into an interstellar adventure, making learning fun and rewarding. The unique concept of building a Mars colony based on study achievements is a creative approach that motivates users to stay consistent with their study sessions. Despite a few limitations, MarsCraft is an excellent choice for students looking for a blend of productivity and entertainment in their study routine. If you’re aiming to boost your focus while embarking on a journey to colonize Mars, this app is worth a try!

### 3/5 — Buggy and difficult to understand

*2024-07-20, version 2.4.1*

Buggy and difficult to understand… the tutorial is not doing a good job. All the buildings are super to tiny on my screen . Not sure what “add map” are for, after I pressed it one of my buildings was gone.

### 3/5 — Great App, but lots of bugs

*2023-12-14, version 2.4.1*

I love the app, however there are a LOT of bugs when using it. The new map is unusable, certain menus are blank like maps. Very slow start up time. When I move the slider for setting the timer it doesn’t line up with my thumb it jumps like an inch away from it. 

Has great potential, but is ridden with bugs and glitches.

### 2/5 — App crashed

*2023-10-08, version 2.4.1*

App always crashes when i click on the MarsCom tab. Its annoying. Please fix it.

### 5/5 — 蠻好用的啊

*2023-08-21, version 2.4.1*

這種吱吱喳喳的感覺真的很好笑

### 2/5 — Battles does work

*2023-04-07, version 2.4.1*

When I want to battles with enemy i click that Im ready and nothing happends. Enemy is never ready...
