### 3/5 — Ok

*2020-10-21*

Performs as promised on iPad. Good graphics. Pretty simplistic play gets boring fast.

### 3/5 — Too hard

*2020-01-28*

Too hard, instrument display is not friendly in practice

### 3/5 — Good game play, but ...

*2019-12-19*

The game is a ton of fun and works well. I liked it so much I bought the full version. But what the hell? I’m still getting ads!  Very disappointed in this.  STILL GETTING ADS!

### 3/5 — I don't like this game 🙄🙄(¯―¯٥)

*2019-03-14*

I don't like this game it no sense

### 3/5 — Looks good

*2018-10-28*

The look and feel of this game is promising. However, the gameplay could use improvement. The most glaring issue is the use of roll, rather than pitch, to land.

### 1/5 — Update ruined the game.

*2024-10-28*

The update made the game weird to play. No longer fun. Go back to old version but just add other levels. New one is just terrible.

### 1/5 — Update ruined the game.

*2024-10-25*

The update made the game weird to play. No longer fun.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-06-02, version 1.4.1*

Impossible

### 1/5 — No.

*2021-11-08*

Nice graphics, limited controls, bad physics..waste of time.

### 1/5 — Bad bad it’s the worst

*2019-08-10*

I land correctly but it says crash landed killed crew ain’t even worth a star

### 1/5 — Includes Trump Survey

*2019-07-20*

I pulled this game down for some fun, not to fill out a survey on whether I approve of Donald Trump. You better investigate games more closely in the future Apple.

### 1/5 — This is not Eagle Lander 3D

*2019-03-04*

This program has taken the name of a PC program called Eagle Lander 3D. This is not the original author and is not authorized to have the name. Eagle Lander 3D (the real one) is an authentic simulation of the Apollo landings. This is not even close...

### 2/5 — Too hard

*2020-08-03*

It is good and simulates landing on the moon good but is is too hard! In the description it IS impossible. Please make improvements, and make a easy medium and hard mode, please? I would be glad if you did what I asked, thanks anyways.

### 2/5 — Controls...

*2020-04-10*

Ok, I wanted to like this game but the controls need a lot work. If you had the option to move the joystick (or judged moved it from the very corner of the screen) on the lunar surface levels the game would be vastly improved.

### 2/5 — Many Problems

*2019-04-16*

Does not respond correctly to commands. Needs much work.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2023-02-04, version 1.5.2*

I landed  in not even 20 tries 🤩🤩🤩🤩

### 5/5 — Hard

*2022-06-25, version 1.4.1*

Very hard to land. And how did you get those real recordings?

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2021-08-02, version 1.4.1*

It's quick, it's stable, and it even works on my M1 iMac! One suggestion: Make the terrain even more rugged so that landing crooked in a crater, like Apollo 15, can cause a lower score.

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2019-03-28*

I like this hybrid arcade/simulator approach. It takes a while to figure out how to land safely but with trial and error, it can be done. One suggestion: add an ad-free option. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Good simple game

*2022-10-27*

Good simple game that I’ve been playing for a few years when I’m bored. Sadly the leaderboard feature has been removed which I’m dissapointed about.

### 3/5 — Make it better

*2025-05-04*

When I’m under 15 during landing, it breaks

### 3/5 — It’s really hard

*2025-02-24*

I’ve had this game over a year and I have never landed perfectly i usually die sometimes I get stranded but I NEVER have landed it perfectly

### 3/5 — Gravity changes near end

*2024-07-12*

For some reason, the gravity changes rapidly at the end. I don’t understand why.

### 3/5 — Irritatingly addictive

*2021-03-16, version 1.4.1*

😡😡😡😡😡

### 3/5 — Only one platform?

*2020-11-26*

Once you’ve mastered it, both inside and outside cockpit scenarios, the game is over. What happened to Level 2? 3? 4?
