Not recommended if you have iPad Pro. ### 3/5 — Was good on older phones *2026-03-15, version 2.11* I remember playing this years ago, wanted to pick it up again today but with the new phones it’s not playable with the UI. Could use an overhaul ### 5/5 — Still playing in 2026 *2026-02-06, version 2.11* This game is very good ### 5/5 — I need slots for all the ships *2026-01-03, version 2.11* Can you please put slots for each and every ship on both sides, please? Thank you very much. Other than that, the game is good. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-11-12, version 2.11* I love Atlantic Fleet but prefer Pacific theatre on sims. Pacific Fleet desperately needs updating closer to Atlantic Fleet in all respects.. Is this possible? ### 1/5 — Unable to play *2025-09-28, version 2.11* The controls for rudder and weapon aiming no longer work because they are too close to the bottom edge, so trying to use them on current iPhones triggers the app swipe. ### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK ON NEWER DEVICES WITHOUT A PHYSICAL HOME BUTTON *2025-09-21, version 2.11* You physically can’t move the horizontal axis of the ships ### 1/5 — Deleted it Immediately *2025-08-18, version 2.11* Wasted $5.99 on this turkey. No rangefinder available to even have a chance of hitting enemy ships? Really? Most torpedoes fired by player are duds? Avoid this failure. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-07-19, version 2.11* Faulty download, I had paid my fee and the app didn’t perform as it was supposed to. Ships jumping sideways and no accumulation of Renown. I deleted to try to reboot. No luck so I have waisted my money ### 3/5 — Gun and steering *2025-07-17, version 2.11* Can’t rotate turrets or turn ships. White line on iPhone to close screen is in the way. ## Frequently asked questions about Pacific Fleet ### What kind of game is Pacific Fleet?
