### 2/5 — Very basic

*2025-11-24, version 1.11*

Little resemblance to the original, just an exercise in curving the shot, from stationary, to hit the target. Levels start very short, thought at 1st they were just tutorials. Got bored at level 6

### 3/5 — Good but with some flaws

*2025-05-20, version 1.11*

Game play is great but lots and lots of adds

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2024-12-14, version 1.11*

I like the game but I don’t think I will keep it long. There is an ad after everything that you have to watch, it’s going to start to get annoying.

### 3/5 — Decent attempt

*2024-05-03, version 1.11*

Has its own charm and appeal for sure but as with most remakes … it’s just not the same. 
I have nothing specifically negative to say , it’s fun and all but for me , it lacks replay value as most levels are the same/similar to the last. But hey - it’s free , passes a few mins when needed. It’s fine . It’s just not awesome

### 2/5 — ???

*2024-02-25, version 1.11*

The game shows I am in the 500 levels but it only does the same 3 routes over and over, I was really wanting to like this game but when you’re doing the same thing over every 2 or 3 times it gets old

### 1/5 — It’s a dud

*2022-01-16, version 1.9*

Super hard to play. Won’t let you throw where you want. If it does… it’s very hard to figure out. Disappointing. I was looking forward to playing this game.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2021-07-05, version 1.9*

I can’t get past level 2, because it stops working. 
No menu to restart. I was excited about this game. Hopeful for bug fixes.

### 1/5 — Adds Adds and more Adds!

*2021-06-25, version 1.9*

Looks a decent enough game but fed up with the adds. I want to play the game not keep removing adds!!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Hat mit dem Original nichts zu tun!!!

*2021-04-18, version 1.9*

Aber sehr einfach aufgebaut und langweilig!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t get past level 3

*2020-12-30, version 1.9*

Every time you play level 3 it doesn’t allow you to position the paper properly meaning you fail and can’t go further

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2025-12-06, version 1.11*

I literally never bother with reviews! But, I was excited to find this when I searched for a well loved childhood favourite. Wondering if my nostalgic memories could be bought to life, and I was deeply disappointed. It was very unresponsive, either multiple taps (resulting in a miss) or the whole app froze and this was on level one, then two (where might I add, you only have to get one paper goal per level, which is terrible anyway!) so many ads in that short space of time as well. App has been deleted. Hopefully there’s another one out there that satisfies.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-06-08, version 1.11*

I thought this would be similar to the Classic Nintendo Paperboy…definitely not and the game doesn’t play any sound

### 1/5 — No for me

*2024-11-20, version 1.11*

Way too many ads, deleted it.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-08-05, version 1.11*

The game glitched when I try to throw the 3rd paper on round 3. No update since 9 months ago, which offered bug fixes. Such much for that.

### 1/5 — Garbage game, no sound.

*2023-09-12, version 1.9*

Could have been a fun game if they included sound or music in it but unfortunately the only sounds are in the adds it plays every four seconds.

Don’t download it, it’s a waste of time and data.

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2023-06-01, version 1.9*

Can’t finish level 2 as it stops

### 1/5 — Paperboy 3D

*2023-05-12, version 1.9*

It very bad it’s the awful game I ever play. 
The level is bad you can play 1 time and it end
Plus too much ads I annoying I give you a one star

### 1/5 — Nothing like the arcade game

*2023-05-01, version 1.9*

When I came across this I was very happy.  Loved this game as a kid.  But of course it’s nothing like the fun Nintendo and Arcade game I remember.  This very is slow, and stressful, you can’t toss the paper as quickly as you want and soon as it lands somewhere other then where the arrow points game ends instantly.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — Don’t do it!

*2022-09-02, version 1.9*

I was thinking of the old game…. this is horrible! Not worth your time

### 1/5 — Nothing like the original

*2022-02-19, version 1.9*

It just won’t release on L 3 so cannot move on. 
Not the paperboy I remember

### 5/5 — The first movie

*2026-02-11, version 1.11*

🤰🏻

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-07-10, version 1.11*

Fun

### 5/5 — Five stars

*2025-06-24, version 1.11*

Okay I think you could make the levels a little bit easer

### 5/5 — Love

*2024-06-23, version 1.11*

I love this game

### 5/5 — Hi

*2024-02-19, version 1.11*

My name is sabashtin sabbadend sbonneny Jr ||| This is so fun that my dad sabadend sabbadend sbonneny Jr || love it

### 5/5 — Not the paperboy you remember but an ok game

*2022-11-14, version 1.9*

This isn’t the paperboy you remember playing when you was a kid, this game is about angles. The paperboy stops at each house and you angle the throw to get the coins and the door. It’s not a bad game. A child might really like it. It won’t hold my interest for long. 5 stars to offset all the bad reviews from people who didn’t play it long enough to figure it out.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-08-06, version 1.9*

My mum and uncle told me about the original game and I had to find the reboot.
I feel as though some people need to learn to do it properly as level 3 is kinda hard but not really. I enjoy the challenge of the tight turns and I’m glad the reboot was made by this team and in the way it’s been made. 🙂

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-06-19, version 1.9*

I don t understand the negative ratings and comments. This game is very clean and easy to play. Ads are very short.

### 5/5 — Question

*2021-03-26, version 1.9*

Why do we collect coins? because there’s nowhere to use them 🥴🥴

### 5/5 — SUPERB

*2021-01-26, version 1.9*

Brings back so many good memories of the Commodore 64 as a kid 👌🙂 you can get past level 3 I’m on level 14 😆👌 top marks 👌
