### 2/5 — Лагает

*2026-07-25, version 2.6*

В меню можно выйти один раз, следующий раз кнопки не активны, скидываешь приложение заходишь повторно. Переключить между играми возможности тоже нет, не реагируют кнопки .

### 3/5 — Good but needs an update

*2023-07-31, version 2.6*

Played this game many times over the years. Downloaded again. The game keeps crashing. Nothing can be clicked on so the app has to be closed before working again

### 4/5 — LOVE the game - but glitchy

*2022-03-23, version 2.6*

Have played this game for well over 10 years. It’s simple but enjoyable for all ages.

I realize it may no longer be supported since the last update was 5 years ago - but, in the slightest chance that it is, I am hoping for a fix to a simple problem. 

After taking a turn, I must close the app and restart before I can take another turn with a different player. Same goes for anything else I try to tap on, like settings.

### 3/5 — Fun but glitches

*2021-12-06, version 2.6*

This app and the Multi-shot app are fun but both are glitching now on my phone and my husband’s phone. We usually have 3-4 games going at once and don’t have a problem but since the last iOS update you are forced to close the app and reopen to go from game to game rather than just clicking on the next game where it’s your turn.  It’s also very annoying that there is no way to submit a problem within the app.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2020-06-25, version 2.6*

Fun game but a little buggy in multiplayer mode :(

### 3/5 — Russians are ruining this app.

*2020-04-02, version 2.6*

This is a great game, unless you are playing Russians, because they have figured out a way to cheat by overplaying ships or placing them abutting each other so that you can never sink all their ships. Also, the ships even misalign badly when an opponent enters the game to the point of being illegally positioned leaving one only two options. Quit the game, or play illegally and piss off your opponent who can’t possibly win with the way your ships are aligned. FIX IT!

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2020-03-17, version 2.6*

I find that some people a bit slow but very enjoyable. Love it

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-12-28, version 2.6*

Super awesome. I have met many people using this.

### 2/5 — Needs a Lot of Work

*2018-11-19, version 2.6*

As others have said, it’s laggy and has significant issues with interplay between the players.  It occasionally ignores shots, or scores them as landing where they were not aimed. It also doesn’t tell you when you’ve lost - you just keep waiting for the other player to shoot.  You have to cycle to the other screen to find out that you lost, and even then, it normally shows their final shot as missing the target. 

Finally, the ranking system is ridiculous. According to the rankings, after playing only 21 games (16 of which I lost), I’m ranked in the Top 10 players. Not even the top 10 percent (which would have been hard enough to believe), but the Top 10 players. Unless there are only 11 players, ...

### 4/5 — Good game

*2018-09-20, version 2.6*

Good game, fun and entertaining. A bit slow and not easy to pair with other player.

### 4/5 — Better than Hasbro's Battleship

*2018-06-16, version 2.6*

I downloaded this app due to Hasbro's inefficiency to offer a quality Warship app.
This app is Free and the in App purchases are much less than Hasbro's.
We use the screen name we selected on Apple Gamecenter.
Another plus is We collect experience level up points every time we play the app.
Much much better than Hasbro's lame attempt at a Battleship app.
Thank you.

### 1/5 — LOVE the game - but glitchy

*2025-01-28, version 2.6*

2025 update- developers don’t seem to care to fix problems. 

Have played this game for well over 10 years. It’s simple but enjoyable for all ages.

I realize it may no longer be supported since the last update was 5 years ago - but, in the slightest chance that it is, I am hoping for a fix to a simple problem.

### 1/5 — Wrong game

*2023-09-16, version 2.6*

the game has bugs. some players cheat. pushing the ships one after the other. these are usually players with a very high rating of 80-95% it's very frustrating what the game allows you to do. disappointed. I do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore!

*2021-11-17, version 2.6*

The screen locks up on games page. You must delete and re-install, but you will only get 1 shot before it locks up again.

### 1/5 — Game is ok but need to have a time limit for moves

*2021-01-09, version 2.6*

Many players accept the game, maybe take one shot and disappear hoping you end game so shows as a win for the.
Opened two new games which players accepted just today and neither one ever fired a shot. 
They need to have a time limit for moves or you forfeit.

### 1/5 — Cheaters

*2019-11-11, version 2.6*

This app is too easy to place ships wrong so cheaters can always win and it’s pointless to play the game when people cheat! No way to report these people no updates on game ever!!!

### 1/5 — Can only play on Game Centre

*2019-05-02, version 2.6*

Deleted. 
Most games give optional Game Centre. I’ll look for another app.

### 1/5 — Ok graphics

*2019-01-30, version 2.6*

Too slow, too many ships, I’m deleting it.👎🏼

### 1/5 — Buggy, Laggy, lacks system opponent.

*2019-01-27, version 2.6*

Illogical restriction where you cannot have ships adjacent to each other. Searching for opponents takes forever. Never played even once... deleted app in frustration!

### 1/5 — Not letting me sign in

*2019-01-16, version 2.6*

I rated this 1 star because it wouldn’t let me sign in

### 1/5 — SailorMoon

*2018-01-24, version 2.6*

Fix notifications so they work! And tell me when I have lost!!

Great fun highly recommended 🐶

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-11-26, version 2.6*

This game is easy and simple. It can start a rivalry between friends that you make on this platform. It’s awesome that you can openly send messages to your opponents. Many games have stopped that function. Fire away!

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2020-06-14, version 2.6*

### 5/5 — 1

*2020-05-24, version 2.6*

Battleship has been a favorite game for me and my Family.   I have played MANY app. Versions of this game and
I find this version outshines the rest.  Of course, like any other new game, There are someadjustments that need to be addressed,  but it is a fun game for the whole Family. .As far asI'm concerned  it the BEST!

### 5/5 — Great- but needs an update

*2019-12-24, version 2.6*

Love this game. Paid for it too. Now it seems there are no updates. The push notifications seem to be broken and it needs an update. Please continue support.

### 5/5 — Naval Warfare

*2019-08-20, version 2.6*

Great game, but annoying noise alert when someone has played you,
It should have an option to turn the volume of.

### 5/5 — Duramax78

*2019-01-01, version 2.6*

This game is awesome, for the people complaining about putting a timer on, no please don’t do it, if they ain’t smart enough to have 10-20 games going at once, then there not smart enough to play this game, and for you that say I’m the problem think about it, when I go to play I’ll always have someone to play with, if you have 1 or 2 games going good luck catching that person, one thing I do wish is they would have islands or something, there’s many things they can do to spruce it up, it’s a awesome idea but not fully utilizing the games full potential, if I was in charge I guarantee you within a year it would be top 5 games of 2019.
